MANILA, Philippines — Fans teased Jillian Ward as the “next Jinkee” when they spotted the young actress among the crowd at Eman Bacosa Pacquiao’s boxing match in Bohol. 

Photos and videos of Jillian among the audience at the Kumong Bol-anon 24 in Tagbilaran at yesterday's match surfaced online where she is seated beside Eman’s mother, Joanna, at ringside. 

Eman, the son of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, fought against Indonesian boxer Reynold Kundimang in four rounds before taking home the win.

The young Pacquiao admitted last year that he has a crush on Jillian. 

Jillian also uploaded a new clip riding on the Big Guy trend earlier today, this time showing that the mysterious guy was none other than Eman. 

Eman and Jillian’s online interactions have fans looking forward to their pairing, with some comparing them to the young Manny and Jinkee Pacquiao.
