Son of Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao and wife Jinkee Pacquiao, Emmanuel “Jimuel” Pacquiao Jr., tries his hand in modelling as the newest addition to the list of celebrity endorsers of Blue Day Water Spa.
Jimuel, the eldest of the Pacquiao children, said he was reluctant to step into the limelight which his grandmother and father usually occupies.
“At first, ako kasi yung may ayaw pero na-convince nila ako na pumayag,” the 15-year old said during the press conference.
“I feel blessed naman na I got chosen to endorse the products and [the] spa. I feel blessed and thankful,” Jimuel added.
Jinkee was certainly excited with their son’s achievement. On her Instagram, Jinkee posted several photos of her son’s event press conference.
“Proud and blessed mom and dad. Heading to the presscon of Jimuel’s endorsement. #bluewaterspa #Godisgood #blessedandfavored”
Although new to the spotlight, Jimuel is reportedly linked to the beautiful Julia Barretto. However, Jimuel did not elaborate on the issue and just said that he is open to being friends with the young actress.
With his good looks to boot, Jimuel definitely can earn his spot in showbusiness, however, he prefers to prioritize his studies first.
“Right now, I probably wouldn’t go to… say yes to showbusiness since I’m still a student. So, focus on school,” the Grade 10 student said.
