the Abu Sayyaf terror group planned to kidnap him or one of his kids. Manny is now taking serious security measures to keep him and his  family safe. He also called out the president for not informing him about the plot before going public. "If it came from an intelligence report, it should have been kept secret and need not be announced. And why just now? We have to study this." said Manny whose unprecedented eight world titles have made him one of the Philippines' richest men.

Pacquiao reportedly spoke about the situation at his home Wednesday night -- "I was alarmed when he announced the Abu Sayyaf wanted to kidnap me. I'm surprised because all Filipinos are my friends. I love them, especially the Muslims."
"We asked for security, protection for my kids, my family to make sure they are safe." 

Pacquiao said he was surprised that Islamic militants would target him, citing his good relations with Muslims in the southern Philippines.

"In fact, we support them. We give them livelihood so I don't know where that came from," he said.

Pacquiao, an evangelical Christian, said he was not worried about his own safety and that he would continue hitting the campaign trail where huge crowds flock to him in chaotic scenes.

"I live my life like every day is the last so I have no fear. God is with me," he said.
