Pacquiao will take a shot at Marquez’ World Boxing Council's (WBC) super featherweight title when they clash in Las Vegas Sunday morning (Manila time).
Dionisia said she is confident her son will defeat Marquez. So does her husband, Rosalio, who predicts his son will demolish the Mexican.
"I have confidence in my son. I know he will win this fight," Rosalio said.
But Dionisia said even if she is sure about Pacquiao's victory, she is asking Filipinos to pray for him.
"To all our fellow Filipinos, please pray hard for Manny's victory. This is the only help I'm asking," she said in the vernacular.
"Siyempre, iba talaga yung may kasamang dasal sa Panginoon [Of course, it is different if you accompany it with prayers to the Lord]," she said.
Dionisia said Pacquiao had prepared hard for this fight.
Asked if Pacquiao would take Marquez down during the early rounds of the fight, Dionisia said she would not want to speculate.
"I don't want to speculate whether Manny would knock Marquez out in this or that round. It's hard to tell because they are both experienced and good fighters," Dionisia said.
One thing Dionisia said she takes pride in is that her son's fights have always united Filipinos.
"Parang tumitigil ang ikot ng mundo, bumababa ang krimen, at pansamantala nating nakakalimutan ang away pulitika sa tuwing may laban si Manny. Kaya malaking bagay ito para sa bansa pag mananalo siya [It is like the world stops turning, crime drops, and political bickering is temporarily forgotten whenever Manny has a bout. Thus, it will be a major event for the country if he wins]," Dionisia said.
Despite her confidence, Dionisia said that she will not watch the live television broadcast of her son’s bout and will instead attend mass at the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish here before proceeding to her Pacquiao’s home in Lagao village.
"I'll be inside the prayer room for the duration of the fight. I'll just watch the replay," she said.
