MANILA – WBO welterweight champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and his wife, Jinkee, have finally broken their silence on the raging controversy about the boxer’s alleged illicit affair with young sexy actress Krista Ranillo.
Pacquiao, who previously refused to address the issue, flatly denied for the first time the alleged affair between him and Ranillo.
He maintained that the actress, who is part of his upcoming film, "Wapakman," is just a close friend.
The pound-for-pound king also apologized to the entire Ranillo family.
"Pasensiya na at hindi ko naman ginusto na masira 'yong pamilya niyo. Dumating lang talaga 'yong pagkakataon na sinakyan ng [publiko] at nagkaroon ng isyu," Pacquiao said in his interview with another television network.
Jinkee’s take on the issue
Jinkee, on the other hand, admitted that many women now want to be closer with her husband following his success and fame.
"[Pero] di ba may family 'yong tao? May asawa at mga anak? We built this family. Naging masaya kami… Sana maisip nila na tulungan na maging masaya ang aming [pamilya] at huwag na nilang dagdagan ang problema,” Jinkee told “Showbiz Central” on Sunday.
In her first interview since the controversy broke out, Jinkee also did not deny that the rumor has caused friction between her and her husband.
However, she remains optimistic that she and Manny can hurdle what she considered the biggest problem in their marriage so far.
"Hindi naman tayo binibigyan ng problema ng Diyos kung hindi natin kaya. I'm sure maaayos din ito with the help of the Lord,” she said.
Jinkee was also grateful that a lot of people are supporting her in the midst of the storm, saying their love has made her “stronger as a person.”
But she called on the public to stop spreading the rumor for the sake of their four children. Instead, she said people should focus on Manny’s latest triumph over a formidable boxer, Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico, in the United States.
The beauty endorser also shared that she and Manny are now in speaking terms, and that they are trying their best to save their marriage.
Currently, Pacman and Jinkee are in their hometown, General Santos City, to spend time with each other and their children.
Jinkee also revealed that her husband, who is running for Congress in 2010 elections, had a meeting with some officials from Sarangani.
