Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao?s charming wife Jinkee has given birth to a healthy baby girl at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Hospital.
We were watching the fabulous ?Legends? concert at the packed PICC when we received text messages from Pacquiao?s lawyer Franklin ?Jeng? Gacal giving us what amounted to a cryptic blow-by-blow account of the goings on from the time Jinkee accompanied by her famous husband entered the delivery room.
Gacal?s account was reinforced by text messages from business manager Eric Pineda.
Gacal reported the Pacquiao daughter, their second after two sons, was born at 6:37 a.m. LA Time or 10:37 p.m. Manila Time and weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces. Gacal said Pacquiao, the proud father, was inside the delivery room when the baby was born.
Pacquiao was reported to have cut the umbilical cord of the baby who according to Gacal is to be named Queen Elizabeth.
Jinkee was driven to hospital at around 7:00 p.m. in Pacquiao?s Lincoln Navigator. Aside from Manny also present were her twin sister Janet and their mother Rosalina.
ABS-CBN News reported that hours before entering the hospital the Pacquiao couple walked around a Los Angeles Mall as a form of exercise for the expectant mother.
When word got around at the ?Legends? concert that Jinkee had given birth fans of the boxing icon expressed their congratulations and best wishes. In fact a short video of Pacquiao was screened during the introduction to the concert in reference to Filipino legends.
There were those who observed that after the birth of their first daughter Mary Divine Grace, Pacquiao became a changed man and had given up his sometimes wayward ways all for the better. They said that with the birth of a second daughter they were certain Pacquiao would continue to be a good and caring husband and father and receive many more blessings from God.
