JINKEE, PACQUIAO CHILDREN ARRIVE IN L.A. By Eddie Alinea PhilBoxing.com Mon, 21 Mar 2016  LOS ANGELES, CA -- "Liliwanag na naman ang bahay namin mamaya dartaing na si Jinkee at mga bata eh." Thus declared the 37-year-old eight-division champ Manny Pacquiao during lunch he has been hosting members of his team, friends and supporters every Sunday while in Los Angeles at the Kabuki Japanese Restaurant here As expected, the Pacquiao's LA home brightened up early evening of that day with the arrival Sarangani Province's First Lady, Vice Gov. Jinkee, who flew in from Manila with the couple's brood of five. The former World Boxing Organization welterweight titlist personally welcomed Jinkee and children Jimwell, Michael, Princess, Queenie and Baby Israel at the Tom Bradley Airport from where they rode together to their mansion. ?Masaya na naman ang bahay," the Sarangani Congressman exclaimed while partaking dinner with family upon their arrival at the house. ?Buo na naman kasi ang pamilya.? "And because loved ones are here, I'll be more inspired in my training for my coming fight (against Timothy Bradley). "Iba siyempre kapag makakasama na uli ang pamilya kahit more than a week lang kaming magkakahiwalay." Pacquiao resumes his extensive preparations Monday morning with his regular roadwork at the mountainous Griffith Hills and punching mitts with chief trainer Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym later in the day. He and his team set foot here Saturday last week after undergoing almost a month of his build up program in General Santos City. Pacquiao, a devout family man, hugged his children one-by-one and kept Baby Israel in his arms longer. "Medyo mabigat na ang ensayo habang palapit nang palapit ang laban,? he said in reference to his coming April 9 return meeting with Bradley at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Jinkee thanked God for a pleasant trip and guiding them to a safe travel to this entertainment city of the world. ?Maganda ang naging biyahe namin at salamat at nakarating kami ng ligtas dito upang magkasama-sama kami muli,? Jinkee said. ?Sabik na sabik na rin naman kaming magkita-kitang muli. Lalo na ang mga bata." ?Almost a week lang kaming magkakahiwalay pero parang napakatagal na. When we were still in the country, halos hilahin na nga namin ang mga araw para bakasyon na ng mga bata at makalipad na kami papunta dito.? ?Masayang-masaya na ako ngayon na magkakasama na kaming buong pamilya. Salamat sa Panginoon,? Pacquiao said. ?Now that we are again together, praying together and going to church together, the more I will be focused on my training for the coming fight,? he added. ?Now that all of us are here, lalo na akong mai-inspire sa ensayo. My family?s presence will motivate me further to winning that fight,? he said.
