I have encountered before that he was practicing some kind of FMA and since I am involved in the FMA, I really can see some influences.

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.

I don't think so.
Pacquiao I believe kickboxed; muay thai style. Which isn't any of that stuff you mentioned.
and for the record. Yes, I have looked into Filipino martial arts. Being a martial artist myself, I look into just about all martial arts.
