Manny Pacquiao stops wife Jinkee from joining showbiz

LOOKS LIKE Manny Pacquiao’s new game show, “Manny’s Many Prizes” that starts airing live tonight after “24 Oras”, will be a big hit. Several thousands of people lined up last Thursday all around GMA-7 when the tickets were released, a sure indication that many impoverished people now look at game shows as their way out of poverty. “Yun naman talaga ang gusto kong gawin, makatulong sa mahihirap nating kababayan,” says Manny.

Is it true GMA wants him to make his wife Jinkee a co-host in the show but he declined? Jinkee herself has previously announced she wants to try hosting.

“Mas mabuting ako na lang ang mapagod dito sa showbiz,” says Manny. “Gusto ko, relaxed lang si Jinkee at ang mga anak na lang namin ang pagkaabalahan niya. Hindi na naman niya kailangang magpagod sa pagtatrabaho dito dahil busy rin naman siya sa mga business naming sa GenSan at sa Saranggani. Kung magsho-showbiz pa siya, baka wala nang personal na mag-asikaso ng mga negosyo namin lalo’t busy rin ako sa congress.”
