Papa P as in Piolo Pacquiao?
Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao’s son, Eman Bacosa Pacquiao, has become a hot topic online not only for his recent boxing victory but also for his striking resemblace to Kapamilya heartthrob Piolo Pascual.
Eman recently made headlines after winning his match against Nico Salado in their lightweight division bout during the Thrilla in Manila II event at the Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday, October 29.
The event, graced by Manny and his wife Jinkee Pacquiao, served as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Thrilla in Manila and the legendary 1975 bout between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, which also took place at the same venue.
Aside from celebrating his triumph in the ring, the 21-year-old boxer also caught the attention of many netizens for an entirely different reason: his Piolo Pascual-like looks.
Social media users are having a field day after spotting the striking resemblance between the Kapamilya heartthrob and the rising boxing champ. This prompted viral posts combining side-by-side photos of Piolo and Eman humorously dubbed “Piolo Pacquiao.”
While neither Piolo nor the Pacquiao family has reacted to the viral comparisons, Piolo Pacquiao quickly trended on social media, drawing amused reactions and memes from fans.
