World boxing champion turned congressman Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao said in an interview with a local broadcaster that people in same-sex relationships are "worse than animals."
It made him earn the ire of virtually the entire Internet, especially from personalities like Tony winner Lea Salonga, Perez Hilton, TV host Boy Abunda, and comedian Vice Ganda.
1. The athlete-politician asked this question like a zoology professor in college
2. Because not everyone knows how to use Google Search, people just provided their answers
3. Saying that there’s more to owning a kitty than having a purring companion
4. But Tony Award winner Lea Salongga knows the exact number
I'm just going to leave this right here...
5. OOOPS!
Actually, homosexuality is practiced by around 1,500 species. Not 450. My bad.
6. But Pacquiao still believes that if people engage in same-sex relations, they are worse than animals.
7. So people now are disappointed with him
8. Like him, our dear friend, who questioned Manny’s and his mother’s libido :)

9. And also made it clear that they look like monkeys
10. Some netizens are serious, asking Nike to drop Manny Pacquiao as one of its endorsers
.@Nike, with its inclusion & diversity policy, should drop bigot @MannyPacquiao as its brand endorser. https://t.co/x2ar89mI8t
11. Yeah, there’s even an online petition #DropPacman
12. Thankfully, Nike heard the netizens and dropped Pacquiao
No more @Nike for @MannyPacquiaoTR. #PrayForMannyPacquiao https://t.co/5ufOpFUp7J
13. But how about his other endorsements?
#PrayForMannyPacquiao #LoveWins
We can never can tell.
14. So one of your Miss Universe 2015 judges has something to say
#MannyPacquiao has some seriously messed up views on same-sex marriage https://t.co/I3zTlNRPa2
Perhaps he has a serious problem on class Mammalia and zoology, too.
15. But people want to know the stand of the “real” Miss Universe 2015 on the issue. Hmmm, is this acceptable?
Ewan ko pero natawa talaga ako dito! 😂😂😂 #MissUniverse #MissUniverso @PiaWurtzbach #PrayForMannyPacquiao #LoveWins
16. And this is why most Filipinos believe Pacquiao shouldn’t be elected as senator
I won't vote for Manny not bec he offended the LGBT community but bec he's inexperienced & lacks proper education. #PrayForMannyPacquiao
17. Even saying that members of LGBT community are smarter than the boxer
U confidently called d LGBT community as an animals which they're most intelligent than u, u don't belong 2 the senate #PrayForMannyPacquiao
18. So TV host Boy Abunda asks: Would I vote for someone who thinks I am worse than an animal?
19. His answer? “Manny, the answer, in your own words, is common sense.”
20. Comedian Vice Ganda had this to say on Twitter
The LGBT is a group of people. We are humans. But not animals. Though we're no saints we will pray for Manny Pacquiao.
21. But Pacquiao doesn't know how to stop, saying homosexuals must be "put to death"
22. But netizens seem to disagree
The bible doesn't exist just to be used in condemning people, it exists to teach, yet many misinterpret its words #PrayForMannyPacquiao
23. And because respect begets respect
You preach the word of God, you propagate the word Unity, but somehow you forgot to learn Respect and Equality. 👊👊 #PrayForMannyPacquiao
24. So what should we do now? #PrayForMannyPacquiao
#PrayForMannyPacquiao #LoveWins
Because love will always win!!
