MANILA, Philippines - Speed and power inside the boxing ring are the weapons of Manny Pacquiao. But unknown to many, he also has another secret weapon. This is his group which surrounds him 24 hours a day from the Philippines to America. Tonight at 10:30, GMA 7’s News and Public Affairs gets to know the individuals comprising Manny’s group more popularly known as Team Pacquiao.
In Los Angeles, California, the People’s Champ is deep in training under coach Freddie Roach. While undoubtedly, Manny is a born boxer, many wonder if he would have reached the top echelon of boxing without Roach.

Meanwhile, get to know other members of Team Pacquiao who also made a fortune because of Manny’s success — including his best friend, Buboy Fernandez and his cook, Nonoy Neri who now owns several properties here in the Philippines. However, both say not everyone behind Manny serves him with honesty, as many of them actually are only interested in his money. Discover the intrigues and conflicts hounding Team Pacquiao.
Televiewers will also get to know the two important women in Manny’s life: Aling Dionisia and Jinkee Pacquiao. They will reveal how their lives changed and how they cope with Manny’s growing wealth and stardom.
