MANILA, Philippines—What? Mommy Dionisia dating a guy?
Sorry to disappoint scandal-news hungry fans, the mother of boxing champion, Sarangani Representative Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao denied she has a boyfriend.
“Ay ayaw (I don’t like),” said Dionisia on Wednesday on television in a report by anchor-newscaster Ted Failon.
“Marami dyan. Natural lang na merong manligaw (There are so many of them out there. It’s natural that I’d have admirers)”, she said before covering her mouth to laugh.
It was actually her son, the people’s champ, who advised her to stay celibate. In a separate interview with broadcaster-news anchor Anthony Taberna, Manny said he advised his mother not to be swayed by worldly pleasures, especially of the flesh.
As an Evangelical Christian pastor who follows and preaches the teachings of the Holy Bible, Manny said it’s the right thing to do.
He also revealed his mother is not married to his estranged father. Manny said his father is actually Mommy Dionisia’s second partner.
He added Mommy Dionisia can’t remarry because she’s married to her first husband.
