24 things you want to know about Pacman

Twenty-four days. That was all it took for Jinkee Pacquiao to lose 13 lbs. (she overshot her goal by three lbs. since she only wanted to take off 10). Of course, that was with the help of the Belo Diet Injections. Jinkee’s weight problems started when she got pregnant with daughter Princess. After her delivery, she decided to seek the help of Dr. Vicki Belo who made her undergo smart-lipo, a safe procedure that got rid of the unwanted fat she gained during the pregnancy.

While Jinkee was more than happy with the results of the smart-lipo done to her at the Belo Medical Center, she got pregnant again (practically in close succession) with Queen Elizabeth. Fortunately, her weight problem was not as bad — thanks to the smart-lipo that eliminated most of her fat cells where the fats usually grow. However, having undergone pregnancy, she still had some excess fat to remove, especially since she wanted to look good and shapely when she sits in the front row during her husband Manny Pacquiao’s fight with Ricky Hatton. Both Jinkee and Manny were winners that time. Manny put Hatton to sleep — although not so gently — while Jinkee looked fabulous as the champ’s wife.

Jinkee credits her weight loss to the Belo Diet Injections, which was administered to her daily. In the beginning, Jinkee made daily trips to the Belo Medical Center for the injections and where her diet was also supervised (no breakfast — only chicken breast and medium-sized steak for lunch and dinner). However, when she had to leave for the United States to join Manny during the preparations for the fight, Jinkee merely asked a West Coast-based friend who knew how to do injections to administer the daily doses to her (that is how simple the procedure is).

Jinkee has maintained her curvy figure and credits those 24 days of Belo Diet Injections with the Belo Medical Group for the success. She admits that she tries to look good for Manny — not only to please him, but also because “If your husband is popular, you also have to look your best so that he will be proud of you.”

In connection with those 24 days (“those were easy,” says Jinkee who didn’t even have to exercise), I decided to ask her to reveal some 24 things the public probably didn’t know about Manny. Here they are below — courtesy of the one person who knows him best, his wife Jinkee:

1) Manny’s first gift to Jinkee was a heart-shaped gold necklace. No, it didn’t have diamonds since Manny was not yet the rich and successful boxing champ he is now that time.

2) He is scared of cockroaches and this boxing legend who is never frightened of his opponents on the ring jumps all over the place at the sight of this insect.

3) He is the resident comic in the house. “Even if I am angry, he can make me laugh,” says Jinkee.

4) He gets angry when Jinkee comes home late — especially when he gets home ahead of her.

5) He gets jealous when Jinkee prettifies herself. “He checks on me regularly and tries to find out who is with me when I go out. Little does he know that if ever I go out with men — mga bading ‘yun.”

6) Manny gets sad when he and Jinkee get into a fight and she wouldn’t get appeased.

7) His favorite dish that she prepares for him is tinolang manok with plenty of malunggay — and kare-kare, too.

8) Manny eats anything sent to him by his mother, Dionisia.

9) His favorite color is blue.

10) His favorite shirt is a blue Banana Republic.

11) The longest time he spends in the bathroom is 20 minutes.

12) He sleeps in boxer shorts.

13) He sprays cologne before he sleeps.

14) He sleeps on his back — with Jinkee resting on his shoulder.

15) He never spanks his kids. He only talks to them to discipline them. When the children get picky in the dining table, he tells them that they should be grateful that they have food on the table, while other kids starve.

16) When he and Jinkee get into an argument, he only keeps quiet, while she is the one who keeps talking.

17) His idea of relaxation is staying at home and doing videoke. He also plays billiards.

18) He got upset when Jinkee first went to Belo for treatments. What for? He wanted to find out. Jinkee carefully explained to him the procedures and when he found out everything was safe, he gave his blessings and it’s no longer an issue with him today. He even appreciates Belo now for everything the center is doing to his wife and has agreed to pose with her for the Belo billboards.

19) He prays before he sleeps and upon waking up.

20) Manny may love his mother like any loving son would, but he is more scared of Jinkee than his mother.

21) With his power, influence and wealth, he knows when people are sucking up to him.

22) He doesn’t have to warn her about the people buttering them up —   she knows (Jinkee is actually very bright and sensible).

23) He passes on people who want to do business with him — or need anything from him — to her.

24) He finds Jinkee sexier now, especially after her Belo treatments.
