In his speech, Eman said that entering showbiz wasn’t his plan but rather God’s.

“I just want to thank everyone for welcoming me here. Gusto ko din magpasalamat sa Panginoon Diyos for his plan. Hindi ko talaga to plinano, actually gusto ko lang talagang maglaro. I’m so blessed po na nakarating po ako dito ngayon," he said.

Born in 2004, Eman is the son of People's Champ Manny Pacquiao and Joanna Rose Bacosa. 

Eman previously said that he is ready to enter showbiz.

Eman stood out at the recent Thrilla in Manila 2, organized by his father, where he maintained his pristine fight record with seven wins, zero losses, one draw, and four knockouts.
