The virtual world is buzzing with excitement as the striking resemblance between Manny Pacquiao, the Philippines’ beloved boxing icon, and his once-secret love child, Emmanuel Joseph Bacosa Pacquiao, emerges as the talk of the town.

Eman Bacosa, as he’s affectionately known, is not only capturing hearts for his promising boxing skills but also for being a mirror image of his famous father.

Eman Bacosa’s recent foray into the world of professional boxing is making waves online. It’s not just his impressive athletic abilities that are catching everyone’s attention but also his undeniable physical resemblance to Manny Pacquiao.

This resemblance has led netizens to embrace him as the spitting image of his iconic dad.

On September 23, 2023, Eman made his remarkable debut in professional boxing, officially stepping into the ring for the first time. The event was part of the highly-anticipated Blow By Blow promotion, spearheaded by none other than Manny Pacquiao himself through MP Promotions.

Standing tall at an imposing 5’10” at the age of 19, Eman’s height surpasses that of his legendary father, who stands at just 5’5″.

The young boxer’s debut bout on the undercard of the Blow By Blow event was a suspense-filled showdown against Laguna representative Jommel Cudiamat, which culminated in a captivating split draw.

Eman Bacosa’s entry into professional boxing not only marks the beginning of an exciting journey but also carries the weight of his family’s legacy, particularly that of his famous father.

Apart from his in-ring skills, Eman’s family background and his undeniable physical resemblance to Manny Pacquiao have been a subject of intrigue, further fueling interest in this emerging talent.

On his social media accounts, Eman shared photos from the fight, showcasing the invaluable guidance he received from Coach Buboy Fernandez and Coach Dodie Boy Peñalosa, both prominent figures in the world of boxing.

The online community has wholeheartedly embraced the young Pacquiao, offering their best wishes for his journey to becoming a rising boxing champion.

One Facebook user eagerly expressed, “Good luck Eman Bacosa. The next Manny Pacquiao. The Pride of Palawan. God bless you.”

In the online sphere, another netizen, apparently smitten by Eman’s striking resemblance, remarked, “In fairness, gwapo,” referring to the young boxer’s good looks.

Meanwhile, another user couldn’t help but see Eman as the “handsome and young version of Manny Pacquiao.”

As Eman Bacosa’s star continues to ascend, he not only carries his own dreams but also the collective hopes and excitement of a nation eager to witness the next chapter in the Pacquiao family’s storied legacy.
