MICHAEL Pacquiao, son of boxing legend and former senator Manny Pacquiao, has drawn online attention after netizens noticed apparent facial enhancements.
The changes were spotted after a video from his mother Jinkee Pacquiao’s recent birthday celebration circulated on social media.
Several netizens were quick to defend the young Pacquiao, stressing that the decision was personal and should not be an issue for the public. “Ok lang ’yan, ginaya lang niya ginawa ng mom niya at pera naman nila ginamit so ’wag na mangialam lol,” one commenter wrote.
Others echoed the same sentiment, pointing out that cosmetic enhancements have become common. “Pera nila ’yan, mukha nila ’yan, buhay nila ’yan lol. Saka normal na ’yan sa panahon ngayon kaya go lang,” another netizen said.
Some comments focused on his new look, comparing his features to various ethnicities but still expressing approval. “Nagmukha siyang Mexicano pero kebs lang, pera naman nila ’yan at pinaghirapan ng magulang. Sabi nga kung mayaman ka at mamatay na pangit, nasa’yo na ang problema,” one post read, while another remarked, “Para na siyang Iranian na Indian na Pakistani. Basta Middle East men ang itsura niya. Guwapo na rin siya.”
Other netizens shifted the conversation away from appearance, highlighting Michael’s personality and past struggles. “Na-meet ko na siya and napaka-humble na bata. Wala kang makikitang kayabangan sa katawan,” one shared.
Another commenter recalled that Michael had faced bullying in school: “Nag-stop siya mag-aral dahil na-bully siya sa international school before kaya nilipat sila sa province. Na-depress siya, lagi siyang binu-bully, kaya hayaan niyo na siya. Walang issue ang Pacquiao kids, humble sila.”
