Lol at him trying to sue for defamation of character when they are only asking for tax documents.

Thats the problem with articles like this. No real details so people who are inclined jump to conclusions.

From GMA Philippine news:

World boxing champ and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao on Monday dismissed as “plain and simple harassment” the case filed against him by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

At a press conference, Pacquiao said the BIR filed the case against him in “bad faith” to single him out and to besmirch his reputation.

“Itinataya ko po ang aking buhay sa loob ng ring… but in just one instance, the BIR has tarnished my name by filing this case against me,” he said.

Pacquiao added that the BIR’s move was not in line with the Aquino administration’s platform of governance. “Higit **** mas mahalaga sa kanila ang buwis kaysa sa karapatang pantao? Hindi po yata ito matuwid na daan,” he said.


Pacquiao said he cannot be charged with failure to obey summons because he did not personally receive the subpoena for the documents.

“The subpoena was not served to me personally, but to a person whose identity is not known to me,” he said.

Abraham Espejo, one of Pacquiao’s lawyers, later identified the “unknown” person who received his client’s subpoena as a certain Jocelyn Nebria.

Espejo added that the subpoena was also sent to an “unknown” place in General Santos City, despite the fact that Pacquiao lives in Sarangani and holds office at the Batasan Pambansa in Quezon City.

“Why send it to an unknown place and person? What is the purpose? Hindi po ito due process. Railroaded po ito,” he said.

The lawyer said that the BIR’s actions are in violation of the agency’s own Memorandum Circular 88-2010, which requires summons to be issued personally to a taxpayer.

millions of dollars in endorsements?

What like the contract with Nike that he signed for 27k?

Yeah sure companies are dropping million dollar endorsement deals with him since the government requested tax documents from him. Good luck with that one.

Manny Pacquiao's financial obligations are absolutely NONE OF FLOYD'S BUSINESS. He's the one one signed that contract.

if people made rumors about you being gay, you'd be suing too. then you'd have gay guys flirting with you and body builders grabbing you're ass. you try to deal with it yourself you'd probably get beat up or ****d, so my suggestion is that you find yourself a damn good lawyer!

it's pretty g@y of pac to be filing all these fkn lawsuits....
