Manny Pacquiao is an eight-division world boxing champion, considered one of the greatest boxers in history. He also found success as a politician, first becoming a congressman before getting elected as a senator.
Sen. Manny Pacquiao said that Gemma Parina, the vendor who went viral for slamming the "no vaccine, no ride" policy, does not need to say sorry. According to the senator, the unvaccinated street vendor only expressed the sentiments of millions of Filipinos who are being punished instead of being convinced to get vaccinated. Pacquiao also echoed what Aling Gemma said that it is the poor who are really affected by the situation. He also emphasized that in such situation, the rich are really at an advantage, considering they have their own vehicles.
Jinkee Pacquiao and Manny Pacquiao have recently spent their Valentine's Day together with their children.

In the caption of her viral online post, Jinkee simply wrote that "God is good" and included hashtags to her post as well. It is also worth noting that the post elicited several reactions and comments from netizens on social media.
