Sparkle artist and boxer Eman Bacosa Pacquiao has addressed the speculation surrounding the removal of “JW” from his TikTok bio, which many netizens believed referred to Kapuso actress Jillian Ward.
During his guest appearance on ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’, Eman clarified both the issue and his previously shared cryptic posts that drew attention online.
“Natuwa lang po ako sa post,” Eman said.
“Tsaka naisip ko po na maraming makaka-relate po du’n. Siyempre lalo na sa mga cousins mo, kung may cousin kang babae o kapatid na babae. Parang you’re just being protective.”
The boxer was referring to a cryptic post he shared last month, which read: “I can fight 100 men who wants you, but I can’t fight a guy who you want.”
He reiterated that the post was not directed at any specific person, but rather reflected a protective sentiment toward family and loved ones.
Eman also explained his decision to remove the “JW” with a heart from his TikTok bio.
“Tinanggal ko lang po ‘yun kasi nandu’n po ‘yun iniisip ng tao si Jillian, na-a-associate sa kaniya. Kaya since we’re good friends, tinanggal ko po ‘yun kasi ayaw ko siya magkaroon ng issue,” he said.
It can be recalled that in November, Eman admitted having a crush on Jillian. The two later met in person, sparking excitement among fans. Jillian also attended one of Eman’s boxing matches in Bohol.
Currently, Eman is also seen in the series ‘Never Say Die’, where he stars alongside Jillian Ward, David Licauco, Raheel Bhyria, and Kim Ji Soo.
