Happy 60th birthday Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao!
Who the hell does not know Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao?
She is considered as the Philippines most famous mother celebrity today, not necessarily because her offspring is World Boxing Champ and national hero Manny Pacquiao but because she is, by herself a quirky, lovable character, a truly Pinoy original which makes her a newsworthy personality.
Her trip to the US of A and back hugged a good number of headlines and even HBO Sports special 24/7 has featured her arrival in Las Vegas after having included her in their previous special on the Pacquiao-Dela Hoya fight. Various news crews assigned to cover the boxer have also been dispatched to get hold of his mother and include her in their interviews. Indeed, Mommy Dionisia, just like her famous son has already acquired a mystique all her own. Men seek her autographs, women want to be pictured with her and reporters fall in line to capture each word that comes out of her mouth.

Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao has arrived! Being Manny’s secret weapon,and his staunchest prayer warrior was not lost on the boxing champ and has been showering her with gifts that only a few mothers in the world could ever imagine receiving from their sons.
Today, May 15, 2009, Mother Dionisia, is celebrating her 60th birthday and the World Boxing Champion is making sure she gets the grandest celebration that she deserves. The party will be held tonight at the Phela Grande Convention Center and no less than former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos has been invited to be there, being Mommy Dionisia’s idol when she was just a struggling young mother trying hard to make both ends meet in her small shanty in Labangal, General Santos City.

[...] Yesterday was Dionisia Pacquiao’s birthday. No no silly, Manny’s real name is not Dionisia, it’s his mom – or as the pun-crazy media has started calling her – Pacmom (uhh, right). She’s not quite as famous as her son (yet), but there’s no doubting her celebrity status. Echoing another blogger’s sentiments, who the hell does not know Dionisia Pacquiao?!? [...]

Happy Birthday Mommy Dionisia! By looking sa pictures parang 18th birthday nya. I’ve seen her sometimes kapag nagbaballroom sya, she’s really good parang hindi 60 years old ang nagsasayaw- in fact mas magaling pa siya sa akin – haha!
