Jinkee Pacquiao had a lighthearted response after netizens jokingly tagged her as the newest Miss Universe queen following Mexico’s Fatima Bosch clinching the 2025 crown.
On Instagram, Jinkee reposted photos and stories from fans who congratulated her as if she were the new titleholder.
“Congrats Mexico!! (queen emoji) @jinkeepacquiao (Philippine flag),” a netizen wrote alongside a photo of Jinkee in a red dress, similar to Mexico’s red evening gown.
Another one also said: “Congrats Ms (Jinkee Pacquiao)! You’ve made the Philippines proud.”
Jinkee also laughed off a humorous post claiming that she and her twin sister, Janet Jamora, had flown to Thailand to support their “long-lost sister Fatima.”
“Dumating na sa Thailand si Jinkee Pacquiao at Janet Jamora para isupport ang isa nilang nawalay na kapatid na si Miss Mexico,” a netizen wrote along with an AI-generated photo of Jinkee, Janet, and Miss Mexico.
A post made by content creator Senyora on Facebook also caught Jinkee’s attention.
“Iba rin talaga barang ni Ms Jinkee Pacquiao! Pasok din Top 5! Go Ms Jinkee! Make Manny proud! 🇵🇭,” Senyora wrote, to which Jinkee replied, “Parang ang layo naman Senyora (amazed emoji) pero thank you na rin. God bless you Senyora!”
After Fatima’s win, Senyora continued the playful banter, saying: “Still a win for the Philippines! Congrats Madam Jinkee! You’ve made the Philippines and Sen. Manny proud! 🇵🇭 Para sa’yo ang laban na to!”
Like many Filipino pageant fans, Jinkee watched the recently concluded Miss Universe 2025 competition in Thailand to support Miss Universe Philippines Ahtisa Manalo.
In her earlier Instagram stories, Jinkee was heard cheering for Ahtisa who concluded her journey as 3rd runner up.
“Let’s go, Philippines!!” Jinkee cheered.
She also expressed support for her “twin” Fatima Bosch as the Mexican beauty queen was crowned Miss Universe 2025.
Fatima Bosch bested 120 candidates in the 74th edition of Miss Universe held on Friday, November 21, in Thailand. Thailand’s Praveenar Singh finished as first runner-up, followed by Venezuela’s Stephany Abasali, the Philippines’ Ahtisa Manalo, and Côte d'Ivoire’s Olivia Yacé.
