Jillian Ward’s ‘partner’ challenges Eman Bacosa to sparring

RAHEEL Bhyria, the on-screen partner of Kapuso Sparkle artist Jillian Ward, has publicly challenged Eman Bacosa, son of boxing legend and former senator Manny Pacquiao, to a sparring session.

In an Instagram Story, Raheel reposted the first meeting between Jillian and Eman during the premiere night of KMJS: Gabi ng Lagim The Movie. “Hahahaa sana magkita din tayo soon idol [Eman],” he wrote.

Raheel also commented on Eman’s contract-signing video with Sparkle GMA Artist Center, saying, “Sparring idol [Eman].” Eman replied with a single boxing gloves emoji, leaving fans guessing whether he was accepting the challenge.

Eman earlier admitted on Fast Talk With Boy Abunda that Jillian is his crush. Raheel, meanwhile, was first paired with Jillian in the 2022 GMA drama series Abot-Kamay na Pangarap.
