Manny, Jinkee Pacquiao Challenged Children To Eat ‘Saging with Bagoong’

‘Saging with Bagoong’ challenge for the children of Manny and Jinkee Pacquiao

Senator Manny and wife Jinkee Pacquiao challenged their children to eat “nilagang saging with bagoong halubaybay”.

It is known to many that before becoming a world-renowned boxing champion, Manny and his family lived a simple life away from the luxury that they have now. When he rose to fame as a boxer, he was able to provide for his family their necessities and even much more than that.

However, despite the fame, fortune, and power that he has now, the boxer turned lawmaker is still remembering his simple life before. One good example of this is the recent vlog entry of Jinkee Pacquiao on her YouTube channel.

She showed the favorite merienda of her husband – the “nilagang saging with bagoong (ginamos) halubaybay”. The senator shared that in the past, this menu had been their staple food for 10 years. With that, Jinkee thought of challenging their children to try this.

At first, the kids were apprehensive to try the food for the first time. However, Princess tried it first and said that it was good but too salty for her. Then, Jimuel also tried as he was ready with a bottle of water in his other hand.

Later on, Queenie and Michael also tried the favorite merienda of their parents. Manny Pacquiao said in the video that they would teach their children to eat “pagkain na pang mahirap” for a week.

This video garnered positive reactions from netizens. Here are some of the comments.

“Natutuwa ako kay Manny talagang he is trying to raise the kids to be humble and appreciate simple lifestyle. Good job guys you are great parents!” – Precious Peel

“Other billionaires: fillet mignon Pacquiao: Ginamos” – Daniel Arcamo Atiga

“Grabe bisaya kaau sila sa balay oi.. i hope the kids will stay this way, they’re raised to be down to earth and humble. Good parenting!” – Jessa Soliano
