Former Sarangani vice governor Jinkee Pacquiao seemed to have mistakenly supported the wrong country in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Pacquiao, the wife of Sen. Manny Pacquiao shared photos of an emotional Hidilyn Diaz, who made history by winning the first-ever gold medal in the women’s 55 kg category for weightlifting at the ongoing Olympics in Japan.
She praised the athlete by spamming a flag emoji as the caption. However, netizens noticed that she used the wrong flag.
