The eldest son of boxing legend and senator Manny Pacquiao, Jimuel, took to his vlog his appreciation for the boxing champ for giving them a ‘comfortable life’.
“Actually we’re very lucky kasi nu’ng medyo mahirap pa ang buhay, maliliit pa kami noon. So nu’ng lumaki na kami, na-receive na ni dad ‘yung big break niya, champion siya. Naranasan namin this life,” Jimuel said in his vlog.

Jimuel added that they are lucky because they don’t have to go through what his father had to go through in life.
“I feel very blessed kasi ‘yung hirap di namin masyadong naalala kasi maliit pa kami noon . From what I hear from my dad, I understand naman what we had to go through,” he said.
Jimuel added that Manny told him that boxing was his only way for them to get a comfortable life.
“Kaya nga siya nag-boxing para hindi na namin daanin ‘yung ganoong life,” he added.
