Manny Pacquiao’s wife, Jinkee, and his alleged “other woman,” Krista Ranillo, were said to have bumped into each other at the Chanel Shop inside the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

An article referred to on “The Buzz” said that “sparks nearly flew when the two [and their] groups threw snide remarks at each other.”

Host Kris Aquino said Jinkee confirmed to her that the encounter took place but minus the verbal exchange.

“It’s true. Nagkasabay [kami ni Krista] pero wala akong sinabi. I did not open my mouth. Tiningnan ko lang siya. First time ko siyang namataan sa buong buhay ko,” Jinkee told Kris in a text message.

Kris reiterated that neither Jinkee nor Krista provoked each other.

“She [Krista] did not approach. Meron sa paligid ni Jinkee na nagsalita, pero sabi niya [Jinkee], ‘Wag,’” Kris said.

In a separate interview on “Showbiz Central,” Jinkee revealed that ever since Manny achieved his superstar boxer status, “women had been around [him].”

“Ang iniisip ko, kasama ‘yun sa kanyang pagiging famous. Maraming lumalapit, pero sana ‘yung ibang babae, intindihin nila ‘yung family nung tao,” said she.

Jinkee reported that she and Manny are fixing their marital problems.

“Okay naman [kami ni Manny]. Nag-uusap kami. Kahit anong sabihin ng iba, inaayos namin ang aming family. Hindi naman tayo bibigyan ng problema ng Diyos na hindi natin kaya. Maayos din ‘to. Alam kong kayang-kaya namin ‘to,” she assured.

The Pambansang Kamao’s wife pleaded with the public to focus on his recent victory instead of the controversies.

“Hindi naman namin ipagkakait ‘yung sagot namin in the right time. Maging masaya na lang muna tayo sa pagkapanalo ni Manny. Ayokong maapektuhan ang mga anak namin, at makarinig sila ng mga hindi maganda,” she said.

Jinkee also thanked members of “Team Jinkee” for their support.

“It makes me stronger na nandiyan sila sa tabi ko. Nakakayanan ko ang mga problema dahil sa kanila. [Salamat] Team Jinkee sa pagmamahal niyo sa’kin.” (From an article published at mb.com.ph)
