" Legend Manny Pacquiao is too cool 😎😮💨 Thank you, boss! 🫡" Lara wrote in the caption.
In another post, Lara shared more clips from their visit to Manny's place with a heartfelt message.
"I am truly humbled to spend time with such a legend. Thank you for welcoming us and allowing us to visit you; it was an extraordinary experience to be in the presence of boxing's only eight-division world champion. Please continue to inspire people. May God bless you even more," she said.
Manny Pacquiao surprised viewers when he led Team Philippines in Netflix's reality competition Physical: Asia.
However, the boxing champion had to exit the show midway through the season due to prior obligations. He was later replaced as team captain by Filipino-American athlete and competitive CrossFitter Justin Hernandez.
Other members of the Philippine team included rugby medalist Justin Coveney, strongman Ray Jefferson Querubin, and Olympic athlete Robyn Lauren Brown.
Team Philippines finished third in Group A, tying with South Korea. But the team got eliminated after losing the tiebreaker “sack throw” event.
