PACQUIAO?S FAMILY DUE TO ARRIVE IN L.A. By Eddie Alinea PhilBoxing.com Fri, 20 Mar 2015  LOS ANGELES, Cal. ? The five reasons behind Manny Pacquiao?s becoming the only man on earth to win 10 world times in eight weight categories will arrive here Friday (Saturday in Manila) to lend support for his biggest fight in his 20-year pro-career. Pacquiao?s Sarangani Vice Gov. wife Jinkee along with their brood of five ? Jimwell, Michael, Princess, Queennie and Israel -- fly in early evening here to watch the 147-pound titleholder in his preparations and, eventually, his clash of the titans confrontation with undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 2 in Las Vegas. ?Thank God I can finally see my loving wife and our five children all of whom I have been missing since we fly here to prepare for my coming fight,? Pacquiao told this writer on the eve of his family?s arrival Wednesday. ?I?m very excited na, I tell you. Parang five weeks ko na silang di nakakasama nang matagal since we pitched camp in GenSan last Ferbruary pa, kaya sabik na sabik na akong makita at makasama sila,? he said with a big sigh of relief. Our love of God kasi ang nagbubuklod sa amin. Kahit na kami malimit magkahiwa-hiwalay dahil sa trabaho ko, lalo kaming nagkakalapit-lapit,? he explained. ?When I?m overseas fror a fight, taiaga namang kumakalampag ang telepono sa magkabilang dulo sa tawag nila o tawag ko." he said. ?Malimit, pagbaba ko palang ng airplane, tumutunog na ang telepono ko.? ?That?s why I really never felt being sacred even when I?m facing a tough fight,? he emphasized. ?Alam ko kasi nasa likod ko sila at ang Panginoon.? It can be recalled that their daughter Princess, at the height of the clamor to see his father face Mayweather and stop him from issuing statements derogatory to his dad?s person and even the country and people. ?She was really very mad then and until now that?s why she egged me to do everything possible for me and Floyd to face each other to end, once-and-for all the bad-mouthing he hurled against me and us, our family,? the Pacman reminisced. ?I know that Princess was very happy upon learning that Floyd had agreed and I know, too, that since that day all of them, from Jinkee to or youngest, Israel, have been praying that I emerge the victor in this fight dubbed as ?Super Fight, or Mega-Fight,? Pacquiao said. ?Araw-araw, tinatawagan nila ako or, ako ang tumatawag sa kanila and they?ve been telling me to take care of myself while training and they wish or my victory,? he added with stars twinkling in his eyes. Asked if his other children ? Jimwell, Michael, Queennie and Israel -- feel the way Princess feels in regards to the fight, Pacquiao retorted: No, si Princess lang.? ?The rest kasi, siyempre ninenerbyos at at magsalita. But, gusto na rin nila matuloy ang laban. Si Jinkee, well, pinare-retire na nga nya ako matagal nang panahon, but alam nya na gusto ko ang ginagawa ko at masaya ako dito, kaya okay na rin sa kanya.?
