MANNY PACQUIAO – Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao penned a heartfelt birthday message for his son Jimuel.
Manny Pacquiao recently took to social media to share a touching message for his eldest son, Jimuel Pacquiao, as he celebrated his birthday. In his heartfelt post, Manny expressed his pride and admiration for the young boxer, who is currently training in the United States.
“Happy Birthday, Jimuel! Anak, I am so proud of you and the man you are becoming,” Manny wrote. He continued by encouraging Jimuel to pursue his dreams and keep his faith strong.
“Napakalaki ng potential mo, and I pray that God continues to guide you, strengthen you, and open doors of opportunity in your life. Lagi mong panatilihin ang pananampalataya mo at mangarap ka nang malaki. God has great plans for you!”
The boxing icon also conveyed how much he misses his son, given that Jimuel is overseas, working hard to carve out his own path in the sport of boxing. “Your mom and I love you so much, at lagi kaming nandito para sa’yo no matter what. Miss na miss ka na namin! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! @pacquiao.emmanuel,” he added.
Meanwhile, Jimuel’s mother, Jinkee Pacquiao, also shared a heartfelt birthday message, offering prayers for her son’s success and happiness. “Happy birthday my son @pacquiao.emmanuel. I pray that God helps you see the potential He’s placed inside of you. May His divine favor open doors of opportunity for you this year and all year through. I pray that you feel God’s joy, comfort, strength, and care surrounding you,” she wrote.
Jimuel, who has been dedicated to his boxing journey, previously shared in a March 2024 interview with Inquirer how his father’s influence has shaped his approach to the sport. “Every punch, footwork, and strategy that I learned are filled with the wisdom of my father’s experiences,” he said.
Although he acknowledges the immense pressure that comes with being the son of a world boxing champion, Jimuel has learned to transform that pressure into motivation. “My short-term goal is clear: to transition from an amateur to a professional boxer. Every run in the morning and session in the gym is a step closer to my goals,” he stated.
Jimuel obtained his amateur boxing license in the U.S. in 2021 and has since been working tirelessly to hone his skills, determined to make a name for himself in the sport.
