Eman Bacosa Pacquiao, son of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao and former partner Joanna Bacosa, is taking his first step into showbiz. On November 19, he officially signed an exclusive contract with Sparkle GMA Artist Center, marking a major milestone in his journey. While embracing the entertainment world, Eman continues to pursue his professional boxing career, determined to build his own identity both in and out of the ring.
The signing ceremony was attended by top executives of the Kapuso network, including GMA Network CFO Felipe S. Yalong, Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, Sparkle First Vice President Joy Marcelo, and Sparkle Assistant Vice President for Talent Imaging and Marketing Jenny Donato. Eman’s mother, Joanna Bacosa, was also present to support her son as he took this important step in his career.
A Humble and Grateful Start
At the press conference, Eman expressed his gratitude and excitement. “I just want to thank everyone for welcoming me here. Gusto ko din magpasalamat sa Panginoon Diyos for His plan. Hindi ko talaga ’to plinano, actually gusto ko lang talagang maglaro. I’m so blessed po na nakarating po ako dito ngayon,” he said.
Despite being the son of a world-renowned athlete, Eman’s words revealed humility and genuine enthusiasm. He emphasized that this opportunity is part of a bigger plan, and he is ready to embrace it while pursuing his own passions.
Carving His Own Path
While Eman is stepping into the entertainment scene, he is also building his name as a professional boxer, creating a record independent of his father’s legendary career. Known for his dedication, discipline, and passion, he is steadily gaining recognition not only as a rising athlete but now as a promising talent in the Kapuso network.
With Sparkle GMA Artist Center behind him, Eman is ready to explore his versatility and make his mark in showbiz. Balancing boxing and entertainment, he is proving that he can forge his own path, creating a legacy that honors his family name while establishing his unique identity.
