Manny Pacquiao confessed he does not want Jinkee Pacquiao to tread on the same path as Imelda Marcos, implying that she does not want her wife to live a lavish lifestyle.
On November 4, Manny revealed that her wife had aligned herself with charitable works and livelihood programs in an interview.
The senator-and-presidential-aspirant Manny denies her wife would live the lifestyle of the former First Lady if he would become the next president of the country.
“Tinitiyak ko ‘yan. Kilala ko yung asawa ko, hindi siya ganun.” He said, pertaining her wife would not follow the ways of Marcos.
“Ang gusto ng asawa ko, magserbisyo, tumulong sa mga kababaihan at lalung-lalo na yung mga mahihirap.
“Gusto niya yung pagbibigay ng scholarship, pagbibigay ng housing sa mga pamilya at yung sustainable livelihood. Gusto niya yung mga charity work.” Manny stated.
In a different interview, Manny reiterates Jinkee will not be the second Imelda Marcos, saying that her wife does not like the world of politics.
“Ang asawa ko po ay mahiyain at hindi po mahilig sa pulitika. Naging vice governor sa Sarangani tapos isang term lang hindi na po tumakbo, kasi kaya lang po naging vice governor yun dahil napilitan lang po siya.”
Manny said that her wife does not like politics, amid the latter serving as the vice governor of the Sarangani province from 2013 to 2016.
“May problema lang po doon sa mga kasamahan ko, nag-away-away sa position. So, ang inilagay ko yung asawa ko in one term, tapos hindi na siya tumakbo dahil hindi siya mahilig sa pulitika.” He added.
Jinkee has always been the center of attraction of Netizens as she constantly posts her luxurious items such as dresses, bags, and jewelry on her social media account, and people have seemingly compared her to the former First Lady Marcos.
