MANILA — Fans playfully teased Jillian Ward as the “next Jinkee” after spotting her in the audience at Eman Pacquiao’s boxing match in Bohol.

Photos and videos circulated online showing Jillian seated ringside beside Eman’s mother, Joanna, during the Kumong Bol-anon 24 event in Tagbilaran on Sunday.

Eman, son of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, faced Indonesian boxer Reynold Kundimang in a four-round fight and secured a victory.

Last year, Eman admitted he has a crush on Jillian. The young actress also shared a clip on social media earlier Sunday, joining the Big Guy trend and revealing that the “mysterious guy” featured in the trend was Eman.

Their playful online exchanges have sparked fan excitement over a potential pairing, with some comparing the duo to a young Manny and Jinkee Pacquiao.
