Jinkee Pacquiao gives birth to fifth child
Filipino boxing champ and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao and Sarangani vice governor Jinkee Pacquiao welcomed their fifth child in the afternoon of Sunday, April 27.
Jinkee gave birth via Caesarean section at the General Santos City Doctors Hospital. The couple named their youngest child Israel. He weighed 8.1 pounds at birth.
Before Jinkee gave birth, Manny asked his followers on Instagram to pray for her.
“Please pray for my wife as she is having our baby boy Israel in just a few hours,” he posted.
In a report on “24 Oras,” Manny came from a praise and worship service before he went to the hospital. He also prayed over Jinkee before she was sent to the delivery room. Their children Emmanuel Jr., Michael, Princess and Queen Elizabeth were all at the hospital to welcome the new baby.
After Manny’s feat against American boxer Timothy Bradley, Jr., Jinkee previously expressed her desire for Manny’s retirement, so that they can also spend more family time together.
“Gaano bang kadaming pera ang gusto mo, kung malalayo naman sa pamilya. Naprove na niya lahat yung kakayahan niya. Pwede na siyang mag-retire,” Jinkee told TV Patrol.
