Jimuel Pacquiao shut down claims that his ex-girlfriend Heaven Peralejo asked money from his father Senator Manny Pacquiao.
Talent manager Lolit Solis earlier said that Peralejo approached the boxing champion for help, as per her Instagram page last Saturday, Sept. 12. She also claimed that Sen. Manny’s wife, Jinkee Pacquiao, gave P100,000 to the actress as financial assistance.
Jimuel, Manny and Jinkee’s eldest son, broke his silence on the issue today, Sept. 14 via Instagram Stories.
“I would like to clarify that the issue posted by Lolit Solis and [Fashion Pulis] about Heaven is false. There was no money given and there was no communication,” he said. “We keep getting involved in these issues and I just want to clear things up. She is not that type of girl and we are in good terms so no need for all the bashing.”
Solis meanwhile said in a succeeding post yesterday, Sept. 13 that Jinkee wanted the post about her giving away P100,000 taken down supposedly because of negative reactions.
“Never ako nagbura ng post kasi nga pinapanindigan ko ang bawat sabihin ko,” Solis said. (I have never taken down a post because I stand by everything I say.)
Solis also made a separate post yesterday stating that Peralejo’s manager Ogie Diaz defended the actress, stating that it is “impossible” she would have financial problems because she still had endorsements.
Peralejo has yet to speak up on the matter.
The “Pinoy Big Brother” alum previously debunked rumors that she relied on Jimuel and his family for her finances, stressing that she worked for her money.
The two confirmed they were dating in March 2019. Jimuel said on the talk show “Tonight with Boy Abunda” last February that he and Peralejo broke up twice and that they were now “good with each other.” JB
