He added that different faith and beliefs should be respected.
“I heard sa mga pastor na makipag-audience sa kaniya. Dito sa atin, iba-iba ang paniniwala natin. Nirerespeto natin ang bawat isa, ang bawat paniniwala. At kung anuman ‘yung malalim na dahilan ay hindi natin alam, kaya hindi tayo puwede magbigay ng comment.” Manny Pacquiao stressed out.
