Eman Pacquiao Becomes a Sparkle GMA Talent
EMAN BACOSA PACQUIAO – The 21-year-old son of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has officially signed with Sparkle GMA Artist Center, the talent management arm of GMA Network, marking his entry into the entertainment industry.
Eman confirmed to Cabinet Files that he is now a Sparkle talent and that the agency will coordinate his TV guestings. He clarified, however, that his primary focus remains on boxing. While open to opportunities in showbiz, he emphasized that his career choices will not compromise his personal values or faith.
Eman has gained a significant following on social media, with his Facebook audience growing from 200,000 to over half a million, reflecting his rising popularity. This visibility makes him a potential candidate for product endorsements. He stated that he would only endorse products that align with his beliefs and values, explicitly avoiding gambling or anything that promotes negative behavior, as these conflict with his Christian faith.
Despite stepping into the limelight, Eman remains deeply family-oriented, regularly honoring his mother, siblings, and stepfather through social media posts. He shared that his family accepts his flaws but continues to love him, and he often posts messages about love, unity, and Christian teachings, including Bible verses about respecting parents.
Meanwhile, Sparkle GMA Artist Center is the talent management arm of GMA Network. It discovers, develops, and manages actors, hosts, singers, and influencers for television, digital media, and brand endorsements. Sparkle oversees over 300 artists and regularly signs both new and established talents through events like “Signed for Stardom.”
Some of its most popular stars include Sanya Lopez, Bianca Umali, Ysabel Ortega, Gabbi Garcia, Khalil Ramos, Ruru Madrid, Miguel Tanfelix, and Derrick Monasterio, along with singers like Jessica Villarubin and young actors such as James Graham, Allen Ansay, and Sofia Pablo.
