Jinkee Capeña Jamora-Pacquiao (born January 12, 1979), more known as Jinkee Pacquiao, is a Filipina socialite, media personality, film producer, former politician who served as a vice governor of Sarangani, Mindanao, Philippines from 2013 to 2016. She is well known as the wife of professional Filipino boxer and Senator Manny Pacquiao. She also had a brief career in the film industry as a producer for her husband's documentaries and for several box-office titles.
Jinkee Jamora was born in General Santos on January 12, 1979[2] to Nestor Jamora (born c. 1956, Kiamba, Sarangani) and Rosalina Capeña (born c. 1957, Silago, Southern Leyte).
Political career
In 2013, Pacquiao decided to run for vice governor of Sarangani province in Mindanao,[3] after her husband was reluctant to choose between two friends who both wanted his support for the position.[4] She was elected in the May 2013 election as the candidate of the United Nationalist Alliance.[1][5]
After her first and only term, Jinkee decided to retire from politics to focus on their family and her businesses.[6]
