Krista Ranillo Uses Facebook to Discuss Manny Pacquiao Affair

Krista Ranillo

After defeating Miguel Cotto on Saturday, boxing great Manny Pacquiao returned to the Philippines with news of his affair with actress/model Krista Ranillo making almost a big a splash as his historic victory. Pacquiao is huge in the Philippines — I’m talkin’ Elvis huge — so an affair is a tremendous deal. What’s interesting is how social networking has played a part in the whole thing. Showbiz Gossips has reported that Ranillo broke her silence through Facebook:

In last night’s report in 24 Oras, GMA-7 reporter Nelson Canlas was able to talk to Krista Ranillo through Facebook chat. The actress is still in the US with her family and is set to go back to the country by the weekend. Krista revealed that she is aware of the negative issues about her rumored relationship with Manny Pacquiao.

Twitter is getting in on the action too. CNet Asia’s Joey Alarilla wrote about Twitter users sending messages with the hashtag “#teamjinkee”, in support of Manny’s wife, Jinkee Pacquiao. It’s just crazy how social networking services have changed the way we consume information, including 411 on adultery by superstar athletes…or would this be Adultery 2.0?

And yes, even though I’m genuinely interested in this story as a Filipino-American and a social networking junkie, I used the whole thing as an excuse to post a picture of a hot girl on my site. Hit the break for another picture of this sexy home wrecker.

“Elvis huge” needs a little more clarification to me.

Is that “Elvis huge” as in one side of the stadium sells “I Love Manny” buttons while the other side sells “I Hate Manny” buttons?

or

Does that mean “Elvis huge” as in too many grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches dipped in butter?

@N8R Actually it’s neither. He’s pretty much universally revered over there. Keep in mind that he’s a star athlete from a third-world country that doesn’t have many global figures. After him it’s a pretty big drop off. Who would be the second-most famous Filipino internationally? Probably Apl.de.ap from Black Eyed Peas.

I thought the most famous Filipino was Kirk Hammett from Metallica… even though he’s american born (I think).

@N8R Kirk is only part Filipino and he was born in San Francisco. Apl was born in the Philippines.

What about Imelda Marcos?

Or is that only if fame is measured by the amount of shoes?

Tou can tell alot about someone by their shoes.

@ Thundercracker

No, Imelda Marcos was the only other famous born Filipino I could think of. She used money from taxes to buy an INSANE amount of shoes.

I think R Pad’s quote is from Forrest Gump.

I don’t know either of those people but this post reminded me of something I hate most on facebook and twitter. I can’t stand it when some stupid girl or worse, a guy. declares their broken feelings or heartache as an update on facebook. “why oh why has he done this to me, I’m so hurt”

God please keep that stuff to yourself. I’m likely to drop a “friend” for getting that personal on facebook

haha, same here thunder –

maybe I did like those updates more when I was single. still though when a guy does it I want to take his man card. simply putting something like that on there is probably the very reason she dumped his girly ass

Yeah, so I thought perhaps that I was somehow missing something and out of the loop since I had no idea who this girl even was. So I wiki’d it. She’s been in nothing, but apparently everyone from the Philippines has been in her. I guess she just needs to marry a corrupt politico to become the South Pacific version of Eva Duarte, huh?

alright, first of all, imelda marcos was a bitch. she was like ferdinand marcos’ guardian devil. secondly, if you spectate on a manny pacquaio parade there, i assure you, there’s gonna be booze and food everywhere.

i didn’t live in manila. i only went there to get my visa. hated it there.

@Nightshade386 I wouldn’t say she’s been in nothing. She’s just unknown in America.

@rbee90 No offense taken!

@ rbee

After I brought up Imelda Marcos, I realized I should apologize to all Filipinos for it. I fell asleep shortly after however.

To all people from the Philippines… I apologize.
