Jinkee Pacquiao reacts to comments on her resemblance to Miss Universe 2025 Fatima Bosch
Miss Universe has found its new queen and has become the talk of the town on social media, with celebrities sharing their thoughts on the recently concluded pageant.
This year's winner, Mexico's Fatima Bosch, caught the attention of Filipinos during the final competition as they couldn't help but see a resemblance between her and Jinkee Pacquiao, wife of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao.
"Bukod pa sana kay Ahtisa [Manalo], isupport din natin ang isa pang Pinay na nilalaban tayo. Laban po Ms. Jinkee Pacquiao," internet personality Senyora captioned on Facebook to a photo of Fatima during the Nov. 21 final competition introductions.
"Hindi mo kami maloloko Jinkee Pacquiao!" an X user posted with a photo of the newly crowned Miss Universe 2025 queen in the swimsuit competition.
Another made a joke in reference to Manny's stint on Netflix's Physical: Asia. Manny exited before the third quest due to his obligations in the Philippines.
"Natalo man sila Manny Pacquiao at ang Pilipinas sa Physical: Asia, binawi naman siya ni Jinkee ngayong Miss Universe," one user quipped. "Na para bang kumanta siya ng 'Para sa'yo ang laban na 'to!'"
It wouldn't be long until Jinkee caught wind of the trend.
"Parang ang layo naman Senyora," she wrote in the comments of Senyora's post. "Pero thank you na rin (laughing emoji, smiling face with hearts emoji)"
In her Instagram stories, Jinkee shared that she tuned into Miss Universe 2025. When she reached the finale, the socialite could be heard cheering for her "twin."
She also reshared some posts that jokingly congratulated her for winning the pageant.
Jinkee's been enjoying being a grandmother after her son Jimuel and his partner Carolina welcomed their first child.
The 74th Miss Universe was held at the Impact Challenger Hall in Thailand on Nov. 21. Fatima secured the most coveted title, followed by Miss Thailand Praveenar Singh as 1st runner-up, Miss Venezuela Stephany Abasali as 2nd runner-up, Miss Philippines Ahtisa Manalo as 3rd runner-up, and Miss Cote d'Ivoire Olivia Yacé as 4th runner-up.
