Jinkee Pacquiao brings her daughters Mary and Queenie to her hometown in Kiamba, Sarangani to show them her old life before becoming the wife of Senator Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao.

On her Instagram post last Monday, July 13, she shared a photo of her and her children riding a “kariton,” while being pulled by a carabao at the Kitagas Katubao Kiamba, Sarangani.

The municipality of Kiamba is located at the western section of the Province of Sarangani and has an economy purely based in agriculture.

Jinkee wrote on her post that she's happy that her children got to experience what her life was growing up.

She shared, “Ang "kariton" (bow). Nagpapasalamat ako sa Panginoon na nakabalik ulit ako sa lugar kung saan kami nakatira nung bata pa ako, kung saan ako lumaki at nag aral ng elementary.

“Ang saya saya lang balikan ang nakaraan kung saan sumasakay kami ng kariton noon.

“Sinasama kami noon papunta sa bukid sa niyugan ng tatay ko sakay ng kariton at ngayon masaya ako na ma-experience ulit na sumakay kasama ang mga anak ko.

“Masaya sila na na-experience nila at hindi sila natakot!”

Jinkee served as vice governor of Sarangani from 2013 to 2016. She decided not to run again in 2016, instead she focused on her family and businesses.

The Pacquiaos recently went home in Gen San after spending the first couple of months of community quarantine in Metro Manila.
