Eman is Manny’s son with Joanna Rose Bacosa. He started boxing at age 9, inspired by his father, and has steadily built his record. His most recent fight was during the “Thrilla in Manila 2” event.
In a recent interview with Jessica Soho, Eman opened up about his relationship with Manny, sharing that while they have a good relationship, he prefers to use his mother’s last name.
Eman’s interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” also made headlines after he revealed that his celebrity crush is Kapuso actress Jillian Ward, who is also a Sparkle talent.
When asked to rate how strongly he’d like to court Ward, Eman gave a “5” out of 10 as he extended a message to the young actress, saying, “Hi po! Sana magkita po tayo.”
Eman is also currently gaining the attention of netizens for his striking resemblance to Piolo Pascual. The two recently met and had a friendly sparring match. /ra
