It's the simple life for Manny Pacquiao's kids

Mrs Pacquiao said that when they informed the children they were being transferred to General Santos City, there was no fuss or outcry.

THE PACQUIAOS HAVE pulled out their four children from an international school to enroll them in a private school in General Santos City. The boxing champion said he wanted his children to experience what he went through as a poverty-stricken youth in General Santos.
They love the simplicity of their rural surroundings now and do not miss the noise and chaos of life in the big city, said Jinkee Pacquiao. Her four children are doing really well after she and her husband, Manny, transferred them.
Mrs Pacquiao said that when they informed the children they were being transferred to General Santos City, there was no fuss or outcry.
"They are God-fearing, obedient and respectful," she said. The best thing about the decision to transfer the children was we are always together now unlike before," Jinkee said.
Living away from their children was not conducive to nurturing a happy family, she said.
Jinkee is also set to leave politics behind and focus on family after her term ends as Vice Governor of Sarangani Province.
