‘Queen Elizabeth’ is Pacquiao’s crowning glory in ‘08


MANILA, Philippines – The birth of his fourth child with wife Jinkee capped what turned out to be a banner year for Manny Pacquiao. The Pacquiao’s welcomed their newest addition to the family when Jinkee gave birth to a 7.9-pound baby girl Tuesday night (early Wednesday in Manila) at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Hospital in Los Angeles, California. Everyone who followed Pacquiao’s amazing run in this year could very well say that Queen Elizabeth’s birth, the name that Pacquiao will give to his youngest child, is a fitting end for the Filipino boxing icon’s 2008 stint. He went 3-0 against three of boxing’s greatest fighters with two of those matches are title fights. But what earned Pacquiao the respect and admiration of the whole boxing world is his eighth-round stoppage of the sports’ poster boy and 1992 Barcelona Olympics gold medalist Oscar De La Hoya on December 6. Pacquiao really is on top of the world but having the chance of aiding Jinkee in the birth of their youngest child is incomparable to the three wins he registered in 2008. Once he got hold of Queen Elizabeth, Pacquiao thanked God for a keeping the mother and daughter safe. Jinkee had a safe delivery while Queen Elizabeth is healthy. But like any expectant father, Pacquiao was at first nervous for seeing his wife undergoing labor. And since the United States allows husbands inside the delivery room to aide their wife in child birth, Pacquiao had the chance to cut his daughter’s umbilical cord. Jinkee was rushed to the hospital early Tuesday morning and gave birth to Queen Elizabeth at 6:37 a.m. Los Angeles time. Manny and Jinkee’s other kids are Jemuel, Michael and Mary Divine Grace also known as Princess. They are set to return to Manila in January to arrange the passport and birth certificate of their youngest child, which is a US citizen by birth. – GMANews.TV
