Eman Bacosa Pacquiao begins taping for 'Never Say Die'

Eman Bacosa Pacquiao has arrived in Manila from Davao to start taping for “Never Say Die.”

According to Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras" Monday, the young boxer is excited to be a guest star because he is an avid viewer of the series. 

“Actually, nanonood ako ng ‘Never Say Die’ nung episode one pa lang, pagka-release pa lang kasi nandun sila Jillian, sila Raheel Bhyria,” he said.

Eman received a warm welcome on set, where he was approached by Jillian Ward, who gave him a garland. Raheel also gave flowers to Eman's mother.

For his first time acting, Eman admitted he is both excited and nervous.

“Syempre, kinakabahan po ‘ko habang ginagawa ‘yung mga acting na ‘yun. Tsaka excited po ako kasi ito po ‘yung first acting project ko,” he said.

“Excited po ‘ko na makatrabaho pa ang mga ibang artista,” he added.

Eman also teased that he will use his boxing skills for his role.

Previously, Jillian watched Eman’s boxing match in Bohol, where he won against Indonesia's Reynold Kundimang.

Jillian has also said that she is open to working with Eman.

Eman signed with Sparkle GMA Artist Center in November 2025.

"Never Say Die" airs Mondays to Fridays at 8:50 p.m. on GMA Network.
