Mommy D receives early birthday gift from Manny Pacquiao


MANILA, Philippines – Mommy Dionisia, boxing champ Manny Pacquiao’s mom, will turn 63 on May 15 and, already, she’s received an advanced birthday gift from her son—a luxury mini-van reportedly worth P3 million, no less.

The champion pugilist will not be able to attend his mom’s birthday celebration in General Santos City as he is training rigorously in preparation for his fight against Timothy Bradley.

But the obviously overjoyed Mommy D excitedly showed off Manny’s gift, her brand-new eight-seater Toyota Alphard luxury mini-van.

“Wala na akong masabi sa anak ko. Ito na ang advance niyang regalo sa birthday ko,” Mommy D said on “TV Patrol,” May 1.

As a yearly tradition, there will be a lavish birthday party for the PacMom, wherein she will have a special number.

“May ipakita ako sa lahat ng mga bisita ko,” she assured the televiewers. May intermission (number) ako talaga,” she boasted.

And apparently, even her birthday dress is something to look forward to. “Pati damit hindi nila alam,” she said of the surprise.

While inside the mini-van, Mommy D gave this message to her son: “Hello ‘nak. Goodluck sa laban mo. Galingan mo. Andito na ako, nagsuporta sa iyo. Pagdasalan ang importante. Magdasal tayo. ‘Wag mong iwanan ang pag-sign of the cross. Suntukin mo si ano,’yung kalaban mo [nang] kaliwa’t kanan.”

The report also noted that Mommy D is selling the mansion that Manny has given her because she she’s been having a hard time going up and down its high staircase. She’s currently staying in her old house also in GenSan.
