The sprawling mansion of Manny Pacquiao will be featured in the April 16 episode of the hit South Korean variety show “Running Man” as one of the highlights of the show hosts’ recent visit to the Philippines.
The Filipino boxing icon was spotted welcoming the “Running Man” cast to his North Forbes Park home for a special race, as seen in a trailer clip uploaded by PULP Live World COO Happee Sy on Twitter on Sunday, April 9.
This mansion, which was bought by Pacquiao and his wife Jinkee from president Lorenzo Tan at the height of his boxing career, is now being sold for P2.3 billion.
The video also featured the cast, consisting of Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Jee Seok-jin, Song Ji-hyo, Kim Jong-kook, Jeon So-min, and Yang Se-chan, getting emotional during their fan meeting in the country last April 1.
“True faith has no time frame. We could wait for years… or miracles can happen over a few days, not unlike the miracle we celebrate today on Easter Sunday. Ultimately, what prevails is Hope. And with Hope we see our dreams become reality. For us Runners, it was [13 years],” Sy said.

Reports of the “Running Man” cast visiting the athlete-turned-politician emerged earlier this month, after one Lyn Ramos uploaded glimpses of their visit in the latter’s mansion.
Pacquiao previously appeared as a guest in an episode of the hit show in October 2022, where he participated at a tag-ripping game and promoted his exhibition match with South Korean martial artist DK Yoo. EDV
