In a striking red blouse and black shorts, Louis Vuitton wedge on her feet worth P70,000, three gold medal bracelets on her right arm worth P50,000 each and a blue Hublot watch on her left wrist worth P1.9 million, Jinkee Pacquiao made a stunning entrance at the Shape Up Boxing Gym in Cooyeesan Hotel where husband Manny is training.
Despite her full schedule, this time supervising the almost complete construction of the family hotel in General Santos City named Road House, Jinkee made sure she had time to visit and show support to the pound-for-pound king.
Jinkee was never seen in any of Manny?s training sessions before his fight with Juan Manuel Marquez, sparking rumors that the couple are having marital problems again. Jinkee said she was very busy then with their businesses and the children who still had school at that time.
When Jinkee arrived, the eight-division champion was doing his usual pre-training ritual limbering up exercises with Marvin Somodio, a Baguio local who took over Alex Ariza?s job by assisting trainer Freddie Roach as conditioning coach when Ariza, Pacquiao?s strength and conditioning coach left last week for the US.
Jinkee expressed her happiness on Manny?s being a ?changed man? after the World Boxing Organization belt-holder declared he has been saved as a Born Again Christian. He now attends Bible studies and worship services at the Alabang New Life Christian Center and sends his friends Bible verses in text messages.
?Manny has changed 101 percent. I?m very happy and the kids are happy, too. he always spends time with them instead of going to other places,? Jinkee said.
Though she admitted she was sad about the tax case filed against Manny by the BIR, she also said those are just distractions and diversions from his training. She noted that these issues always come up before Manny?s big fights.
?He doesn?t mind those things, too. He concentrates on his training. And we have people who are taking care of those things,? Jinkee remarked.
Jinkee arrived in Baguio City Monday night with twin sister Janet and sister Hidee, mother Rosalinda, cousin Malou Masangkay, sisters-in-law Shealea, Nene and Lingling, Marissa Soriano, and Jeric Soriano. #
