Eman Bacosa Pacquiao joining Jillian Ward on 'Never Say Die' — report
MANILA, Philippines — Young boxer and Sparkle artist Eman Bacosa Pacquiao is all set for his acting debut in the GMA action series "Never Say Die".
The project will have Eman acting opposite the show's lead stars David Licauco and Jillian Ward, the latter whom the son of boxing legend Many Pacquiao has been associated with the past few months.
Upon signing with Sparkle last year, Eman admitted to having a crush on Jillian, and not long after, the two met for the first time.
Last February 28, Jillian attended one of Eman's boxing matches in Bohol and even shot several videos with, him prompting assumptions by fans that the two are an item.
Jillian did admit when she signed a new contract with Sparkle that she was open to working with a supportive person like Eman if it meant seeing him more often.

According to Pep.ph, Eman will begin production on "Never Say Die" next week, March 16, although his role remains under wraps.
Also joining the series is young actor Heath Jornales, who recently finished as the runner-up on "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0" alongside Krystal Mejes. He finished behind Caprice Cayetano and Lella Ford.
Jornales is no stranger to action as his father, Michael Roy Jornales, is an actor, fight director and stunt choreographer.
The project also reunited Jornales with Jillian, having appeared together as siblings on last year's "Mga Batang Riles".
