Dionisia has been robbed, and there have been threats made against his children; the tall walls, the guard tower and the bodyguard manning his house are clearly meant to discourage casual visitors. The boy who had nothing has much to lose now. Under orders from Pacquiao, his sons - toddlers Emmanuel Jr. and Michael - are kept in an air-conditioned back room all day, out of reach of kidnappers. Pacquiao has said he'll forbid his sons to enter the ring, but Dionisia understands how powerless...
