Jinkee Pacquiao breaks her silence in exclusive tell-all with YES!
Manny Pacquiao may have made history as the only boxer to win in seven different weight divisions, but he made headlines for an entirely different reason late last month. Newspapers and talk shows were abuzz with his alleged affair with sexy star Krista Ranillo, while wife Jinkee chose to spare only very few words about the issue. But this January 2010, Jinkee finally breaks her silence, sitting down with YES! magazine for an exclusive tell-all interview.
People may have thought of Jinkee as the clueless wife who is always last to know, but she dispels that notion as she tells YES!, “Alam ko naman, e. Kasi hindi ko naman dapat ipagkaila na mayroon talagang nangyari, kasi buong bayan or lahat ng tao, alam nila. Hindi naman puwedeng ako lang ang walang alam.”
While any other wife would want to confront her husband immediately about the rumors, Jinkee decided to hold off any talks about their marital problems since Manny was preparing for a big fight, and the nation’s pride was at stake.
“Hindi puwedeng mag-usap kayo sa problema pag may fight… hindi puwede, e, kasi maapektuhan ‘yong fight niya,” she points out.
A Pacquiao insider confirms this with YES!, saying, “Inisip [ni Jinkee], baka mamaya mawala sa mood, matalo—siya ang sisihin ng mga tao. Kawawa nga, e.”
The historic fight against Miguel Cotto has passed for Manny, but Jinkee continues to fight for her love and her marriage, finally airing her pent-up emotions and setting the record straight only in YES! this January 2010.
Aside from featuring the Pacquiaos’ $2.5M home in Los Angeles’ Millionaire’s Row, YES! also paints a picture of the entire Jinkee-Manny-Krista story.
Krista was not ready to air her side of the issue, but her friend Dennis Evangelista talked to YES! in Krista’s defense. “Tinext ko siya, sabi ko, ‘Whatever it is, kailangan i-defend mo ang sarili mo,’” he tells YES! Out of everything that he and Krista had talked about, one thing is clear: “She’s denying it,” Dennis says, “Hindi daw totoo.”
