Jinkee Pacquiao thanks Manny's supporters following boxing comeback: 'My heart is full'

GMA Network15 hours ago
Despite Manny Pacquiao's less than desirable results in his return to ring against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios, his wife Jinkee Pacquiao is still full of gratitude.
On Instagram, Jinkee shared photos of their family following the boxing match held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"My heart is full thanks to you all," Jinkee wrote. "I'm deeply grateful for all your love, prayers, and support."
During the match, Jinkee donned a maroon one-shoulder sleeveless top and a red bandage miniskirt. She finished off her look with a pair of red pumps and, of course, her signature Hermès bag, this time in the design Sac Faubourg Birkin 20 set in matte alligator black hardware.
At 46, Manny managed to finish a 12-round fight with Barrios, with the latter winning the match via majority draw.
The Filipino boxing legend may not have won the fight, but his legion of fans worldwide still referred to him as the GOAT (Greatest of all time), including Ruffa Gutierrez.
The Pacquiao-Barrios match marked the Filipino champ's boxing comeback after he announced retirement in 2021.

Kitchie Nadal bares reason why she relocated to Spain in 2017

After being in the limelight for years, Kitchie Nadal took a break from her music career and moved to Spain in 2017 with her Spanish husband Carlos Lopez. In Monday's episode of 'Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,' the OPM icon shared that she moved to Madrid for love and to build a life with their children. 'Love. Of course, love. I married a Spanish guy, nagkakilala kami during Yolanda. We are both volunteers. And then 'yon, ang bilis na-develop,' Kitchie explained. 'He decided to stay and then we got to know each other more. And we got married. We had a baby. When we had a baby, we decided to move to Spain,' she added. When asked about her life in Madrid, Kitchie says she is 'really happy' because she was able to focus on her family. 'I'm really happy. Kasi iba ang lifestyle doon eh. I was able to focus [on] my family, hands-on with the kids like everyone. Ang dami kong natutunan doon. House chores, lahat, multi-tasking. Talagang ano, I really love how I was able to focus on them,' she shared. She added that she missed performing while in Spain and would hold intimate gigs there for the Filipino communities abroad. "Syempre mas maliit siya but I really find it, for me fun nga siya kasi parang ang intimate and then parang feeling ko ang meaningful ng dating kasi parang you get to unite the Filipinos there," she said. In 2020, Kitchie released a Spanish version of her hit single 'Huwag na Huwag Mong Sasabihin,' titled 'No Me Digas.' According to the Filipina singer, her husband Carlos Lopez helped her translate the lyrics into Spanish. In the same "Fast Talk" interview, Kitchie was also asked if there was a chance for her to move back to the Philippines. "Anything is possible. We're open to anything," she said. Kitchie held a concert in the Philippines in June at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. She also held a concert in 2024 at the New Frontier Theater to mark her 20th anniversary in the music industry. A pillar of OPM rock, Kitchie is the hitmaker behind 'Huwag Na Huwag Mong Sasabihin,' 'Same Ground,' 'Bulong !!!' and 'Makulay na Buhay.' —Jade Veronique Yap/CDC, GMA Integrated News

This Filipino skills trainer helped Kevin Quiambao land a spot in a private scrimmage in US

What started only as a personal trip to the United States for Patrick Tancioco turned into a chance to help rising basketball star Kevin Quiambao chase his NBA dream. Quiambao was in the US in July, with training sessions in Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. Last week, he was also part of a private scrimmage hosted by Excel Sports Management, which was attended by scouts and front office personnel of several NBA teams. READ MORE | Kevin Quiambao talks about his NBA dream and recent US training Tancioco, who founded Better Basketball and trains top collegiate and professional players, traveled to the US to meet up with his mentor, NBA skills coach Drew Hanlen, and help run sessions with NBA players at the NBA Pro Day in Las Vegas. Upon learning that Quiambao was in the same country, Tancioco decided to lend the Pinoy baller a hand and connected him with Tim Edwards of Excel, leading to Quiambao's participation in the workout. "'Yun talaga ang pinunta ko dito, hindi si KQ. Na-tiyempo lang na nandito siya at kailangan niya ng tulong pero ako ang purpose ko dito ay i-meet si Drew Hanlen, 'yung mentor ko," Tancioco told GMA News Online in an interview last week. "So meron akong friend na agent, five years ko na siyang kaibigan, si Tim Edwards. Nag-fall through 'yung ibang plano ni KQ dito so minessage ko si Tim." [That's what I came here for, not KQ. It just so happened that he was here and he needed some help but my purpose was to meet my mentor Drew Hanlen… I have a friend who's also an agent, he's been my friend for five years, Tim Edwards. KQ's other plans fell through so I messaged Tim.] Quiambao is no stranger to Edwards. Tancioco shared that five years ago, he sent Edwards video featuring then-rising stars Carl Tamayo and Aldous Torculas—back when they were still playing for NU Nazareth School and UP Integrated School, respectively. The goal was to ask if either had the potential to make it to US NCAA Division I. "But surprisingly ang napansin niya doon sa video ay si Kevin Quiambao. Nu'ng pinaalala ko kay Tim, sabi niya sakto kasi 'yung agency niya, which is Excel Agency, merong private runs,' Tancioco shared. [Surprisingly, Kevin Quiambao was the one he noticed. When I reminded Tim, he said, it was fortunate because his agency, Excel Agency, was doing private runs.] The 24-year-old Quiambao, for his part, spoke about the work he's put in while he was in the US. "Tutuloy-tuloy lang. Siyempre for the love of the game, and then para sa country natin kasi I'm trying to aim na maging first Filipino full-blooded na makapasok sa NBA," Quiambao told GMA Integrated News' Martin Javier. "Nothing is impossible naman." [I just keep going. Of course, for the love of the game and for the country also because I'm trying to aim to become the first Filipino full-blooded player to make it to the NBA... Nothing is impossible.] —with reporting from Martin Javier/JMB, GMA Integrated News
