Manny Pacquaio vs US Pres. Barack Obama on Same Sex Marriage
MANILA - US President Barack Obama's backing of same-sex marriage has called out a heavyweight opponent: Philippine congressman and world boxing champion, Manny Pacquiao.
In an interview with Examiner.com, in his Los Angeles home last week, the WBO welterweight champion stressed: "God's words first."
He also said people should "just believe" what the Bible says.
"God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other," the Examiner quoted Pacquiao. "It should not be of the same sex so as to adulterate the altar of matrimony, like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of Old."
He also said that the US should set a tone on morality for other nations to follow.
Pacquiao said blocking the legalization of same-sex marriage should begin in the "high offices" of the US government themselves.
On the same day as his interview, Pacquiao participated in a Bible study session. He recently turned his back on gambling and drinking, and rekindled his faith.
After his June 9 bout with American Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas, he plans to hold a preaching session "open to all religions."
Pacquiao is also known for his stance against a Reproductive Health Bill in the Philippines.
In an interview with ABC News, Obama said, "I've just concluded, for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married."

Allan Speaks:
Hindi ko talaga kinakaya si Manny Pacquaio. haha! Kahit ano pang sabi niyang maka-Diyos na siya at palagi na siya ng nagbabasa ng Bible hindi ko pa rin siya talaga kayang paniwalaan. Bakit kaya? Parang hirap na hirap akong bilhin ang istorya niya. :) Pero Full support ako kay Pacman kapag boxing na ang usapan. (:
