?I only have a simple wish, that he will come home safe and victorious on my birthday.?
Thus said Dionesia ?Nene? Pacquiao, the reigning universal featherweight champ Manny Pacquiao?s beloved mom and no. 1 cheerleader as she anticipates this Sunday?s clash between his son and WBA/IBF featherweight ruler Juan Manuel Marquez.
The 55-year-old Dionesia will turn a year older on May 15, and the simple wish of seeing his son come home after his call of duty is enough as a gift
However, when told that this Sunday?s mammoth event also falls on Mother?s Day, Dionesia Pacquiao let out a hearty laugh, and wished that his son could also deliver a Mother?s Day gift which is a win over the tough Mexican champ.
