Sarangani Representative Manny Pacquaio has admitted that his wife Jinkee indeed used contraceptive pills and that they even fought over it.
“Pinagtalunan namin 'yun (We argued over it),” Pacquiao said in a live television interview at Aksyon 41 after his floor debate with Albay Representative Edcel Lagman, the principal author of the controversial Reproductive Health bill.
Pacquiao is a staunch critic of the RH bill, which pushes for responsible parenthood.
The boxing champion said Jinkee took the pills without his knowledge after giving birth to their first child. Pacquiao noted that Jinkee hasn’t taken pills since he told her to stop.
“Itinigil niya hanggang nagkaroon ng dalawa, tatlo, apat, at madadagdagan pa (She stopped and we had two, then three, then four kids, and even more),” Pacquiao added.
Pacquiao has four children: Emmanuel Jr. or "Jimuel", Michael, Princess, and Queen Elizabeth or "Queenie."
In a separate news report, Jinkee admitted taking contraceptive pills without Pacquiao's knowledge.
Pacquiao has been firm on his stand against the RH bill, saying that regulating the population would not defeat poverty and that it poses a great risk of a future lack or workforce in the country.
