Netizens and showbiz colleagues quickly flooded Jinkee’s social channels with warm messages, praising Mommy Dionisia’s genuinely happy expressions. Many fans pointed out how meaningful it is to see the family’s matriarch embrace the newest addition to their growing circle.
This heartfelt gathering marks a deeply emotional milestone for the Pacquiao family. Over the past few years, keeping the entire family unified has proven logistically challenging, with Jimuel based permanently in the United States for his boxing aspirations and his sister Mary studying abroad in London. By coordinating their schedules around Queenie’s graduation from Brent International School Manila in late May, the family managed to secure this rare window of complete togetherness. As Mommy Dionisia enjoys her time in Los Angeles holding her great-granddaughter, the viral video serves as a touching reminder that despite global fame and geographic distance, the family’s deep roots and love for one another remain entirely unchanged.
