Jinkee Pacquiao says no to Ellen DeGeneres, hasn't 'texted' Paris Hilton yet

Manny Pacquiao’s wife has passed off the chance to guest on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” – for a reason.

“Ano lang, kasi live. Sabi ko ayoko nang live. First time ko ‘yung magge-guest sa Amerika tapos sa CBS pa tapos live. Sabi ko, ayoko nang live hindi ako sanay,” she explained on “Showbiz Central,” May 29.

Jinkee hesitates because she lacks good command of English, as she, herself, admits.

“Siyempre, English ‘yon so baka magno-nosebleed ako. Hindi ako fluent sa Ingles. Inaamin ko naman ‘yon. Basta, naging totoo lang naman ako na baka ano ‘yung masasabi ko. Ayokong magkamali, eh,” she humbly said.

Although “nanghinayang din ako pero naintindihan naman nila,” Jinkee still welcomes the possibility of one day guesting on “Ellen.”

“Pag taping lang na, ano, okay lang sa akin. Pero ‘pag live talaga... takot kasi akong magkamali, eh. Parang ayokong ma-criticize ng tao.”

“The next time baka handa na ako sa gano’n,” she said.

Of late, Pinoy performers who have guested live on “Ellen” were Charice Pempengco, Ralph Salazar and Arnel Pineda of Journey.

In the taped interview, Jinkee addressed accusations that questions her penchant for shopping. Most of her acquisitions include the most expensive signature bags, shoes, accessories and clothes. Pacman’s wife is not at all offended by the “Material Girl” tag some gave her.

“Hindi naman. May kanya-kanya naman tayong opinion sa isang tao. Pero hayaan na lang natin kung ‘yon ang opinion nila,” she said.

During Manny’s last fight with Sugar Shane Mosley, Jinkee met hotel heiress and socialite Paris Hilton who promised that she will visit the country soon.

To this, Jinkee said, “If ever talaga na matuloy siya ia-announce ko para at least alam ng mga tao talaga na pupunta siya dito. Last naming usap nu’ng umalis ako after the fight, pabalik ng Pilipinas. ‘Yun lang ‘yung last kasi nahihiya naman akong... alam mo ‘yun, ‘yung parang mauna akong mag-text. Baka busy ‘yung tao.”

Meanwhile, Manny refused to confirm report that he will have a rematch fight with Juan Manuel Marquez on Nov. 12.

“‘Pag nakapirma na siya tuloy na ‘yon,” Pacman said.

He also did not comment on who’s the better fighter between him and Marquez.

“Ayaw ko namang magbuhat ng sarili kong upuan. Ayokong magsabi ng hindi maganda sa tainga ng mga kababayan natin. Hayaaan na natin ang mga fans, mga fans ng boxing at mga kababayan natin na maghusga kung sino ang lamang o sino ang pipiliin.”

Now that he’s back in the country after his fight with Mosley, Pacman has also buckled down to work as Saranggani representative.

“Busy tayo sa congress. Busy tayo sa trabaho natin. At least makita naman nila na hindi ako bubulakbol-bulakbol lang doon at ginagawa ko ang aking magagawa.”
