Because of so many complains on the results, particularly from Angel Locsin fans, YES! Magazine through Summit Media President Ms. Lisa Gokongwei-Cheng, answered the hullaballoo:

“I have spoken to Ms. Maglipon, our Editor-in-Chief, and this is how they computed for the results. They actually counted the number of endorsements that Ms. Locsin has 12 active endorsements and then asked around the industry about her talent fee. The YES! team then multiplied the number of endorsements versus the rate card in order to come out with an annual number. Please read YES! and tell us if we got the number of endorsements wrong. If you can give us facts, we will definitely print your letter and admit our error.”

Jinkee Pacquiao or Jinky Pacquiao looks very different then from the Jinkee Pacquiao we have all become familiar with. Just take a look at these Jinkee Pacquiao photos. I just don’t know if these were taken when Jinkee was not married to Manny Pacquiao yet or before she had children. Some say its Jinky Pacquaio ( spelling)..

Manny Pacquiao Scandal

The mystery girl in green is a girl named Donna. If i were to believe a reader who just sent me these photos of Donna, famous for the so-called Manny Pacquiao scandal. In the previously published photos of the Manny Pacquiao scandal, the girl’s face was edited out. But now, her face is for the world to see (and judge??!).

Right now, the girl is just known by the name of “Donna”. How apt a name,lol…na do na kaya si Donna? lol..

In case you’ve not heard of the Manny Pacquiao scandal, although the chances of it being nil, it having been all over the net and on broadcast media, boxing champ, Manny Pacquaio, was photographed embracing two girls and reportedly kissing one of the girls, who in this case is the girl named “Donna” in Embassy Super Club. See the related story and photos in my previous post, Manny Pacquiao Scandal.

In case Donna, wants to get more than her 15 minutes of fame, she can drop me a line to explain her side of the story by emailing me at getitfromboy@gmail.com.

Meanwhile, in another Manny Pacquiao development, another girl is accusing him of duping her in a vehicle sale transaction. Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao said the accusation is completely false and he already paid the girl in full years ago. This story was reported only in ABS-CBN. No mention in Manny Pacquaio’s tv home, GMA.

Note: The photos were edited because the watermarks led to an adult site. What was edited was only the watermark. (promise!)

Someone emailed me the following photos of Manny Pacquiao partying in Embassy Superclub but no date were given as to when did this happen. But it looks pretty recent. In these photos Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is seen kissing a party girl and was also seen flirting with other girls. In one photo his bestfriend, whose name escapes me at the moment, is also seen grinning at what Pacman and the “girl” is doing, which is super intimate flirting.



This scandal in Embassy is just one of a string of recent rumored sexcapades of Manny Pacquiao. With money and fame comes girls. Now, i understand why wife, Jinkee Pacquiao is rumored to have thrown a fit when Manny Pacquiao was rumored to be having a relationship with actresses Ara Mina and Valerie Concepcion.
