Imagine training in boxing gloves that have been your companions for six long years—worn, torn, and barely holding together. That’s exactly what Eman Bacosa Pacquiao, the son of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, has been doing—until now. In a heartwarming gesture, Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho stepped in to change the game for Eman, treating him to a day of luxury and much-needed upgrades.
In a recent vlog titled 'Spoiling Eman Bacosa Pacquiao for a Day,' Vicki Belo documented the young boxer’s shopping spree, where he received brand-new training gear, boxing essentials, and even a stylish watch. Among the highlights? A fresh pair of boxing gloves, replacing the old ones Eman had been using since he was just nine years old. 'My gloves were literally falling apart,' Eman shared, 'because I’ve been using the same pair for the past six years.'
But here’s where it gets even more special: Hayden Kho surprised Eman with a unique MoonSwatch featuring an ostrich-leather strap—a gift that blends practicality with a touch of luxury. This isn’t just about new gear; it’s about supporting a young athlete’s journey and recognizing his dedication to the sport.
Eman, who signed with Sparkle earlier in November, is also the newest member of the 'Belo Babies,' joining the ranks of Kapuso stars like Michelle Dee, Gabbi Garcia, and Solenn Heussaff. Born in 2004 to Manny Pacquiao and Joanna Rose Bacosa, Eman’s passion for boxing began at age nine, inspired by his father’s legendary career.
And this is the part most people miss: While Eman’s connection to his father’s legacy is undeniable, he’s carving out his own path in the boxing world. But here’s a thought-provoking question: Does being the son of a boxing icon add pressure, or does it open doors that others might not have? Let’s discuss—do you think Eman’s lineage is a blessing, a burden, or both? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
