As a practitioner of FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) this couldn't be furthered from the truth that he didn't learn FMA. FMA have their own kickboxing called Kali/Escrima/Arnis/Silat/Kuntaw...
And Pacquiao have practiced some form or variation of the FMA.
If anybody who hasn't heard, try GOOGLING the said names of the arts above and Guro Dan Inosanto. The only remaining heir to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. (there's 3 of them who earned the Tao of Jeet Kune Do and Jun Fan Jeet kune Do)
Guro Dan is Bruce Lee's most famous student. This linke is called PANANTUKAN (A Visayan term for SUNTUKAN, suntok meant punch in Tagalog)
Not undermining the great training and teaching of Freddie Roach but if you look at the influence of the FMA, it is the multi-hits, all angle hitting, leverage and footworks that Pacquiao has already employed.
