WATCH: Manny Pacquiao Apologizes for Same Sex Marriage Comment

The first and only eight-division world champion, Manny Pacquiao got slammed by netizens, as well as, people from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender or LGBT community after sharing his opinion about same-sex marriage. The senatorial aspirant unfortunately compared those people who are married with the same sex, “masahol pa sa hayop” (worse than animals) during his interview withย TV5โ€™s initiative, Bilang Pilipino 2016.

Perhaps, after realizing his judgmental comment, Manny Pacquiao took to Facebook his apology for his statement regarding the same-sex marriage “worse than animals.”

On his Facebook page, he captions his video:

I’m sorry for hurting people by comparing homosexuals to animals. Please forgive me for those I’ve hurt.

He, however, stands behind his belief about same-sex marriage. He further explains, “I still stand on my belief that I’m against same-sex marriage because of what the Bible says, but I’m not condemning LGBT. I love you all with the love of the Lord. God Bless you all and I’m praying for you.”

Manny Pacquiao is running for a Senateย this coming May 2016 election.
