The athlete-turned-politician received flak after he aired his views against same sex marriage in an interview posted on the Bilang Pilipino Facebook page on Monday.
"Common sense lang. Makakita ka ba ng any animals na lalaki sa lalaki o babae sa babae?" Pacquiao said.
He added, "Mabuti pa ang hayop, marunong kumilala kung lalaki lalaki, babae babae. O di ba? Ngayon, kung lalaki sa lalaki o babae sa babae, mas masahol pa sa hayop ang tao."
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Vice, an openly gay comedian, defended the LGBT community and said "we will pray for Manny Pacquiao."
He went on to reference Manny having the worst attendance record in Congress during his term as Sarangani represenative.
"Ang kailangan sa Senado ay mga bihasa sa pulitika, sa batas, sa ekonomiya. Hindi mga bulaang propeta," Vice said.
The comedian added: "Manny, di ka namin mapipigil kung gusto mong husgahan ang mga bakla sa mundo. Siguraduhin mo lang na di ka namin makakasalubong sa impyerno."
The LGBT is a group of people. We are humans. But not animals. Though we're no saints we will pray for Manny Pacquiao.

May mga taong nakaattend lng ng prayer meeting at nakapagbasa lng ng bibliya higit pa sa Diyos ang turing sa sarili nila kung makapanghusga.

Ang pagpatol sa parehong kasarian ay masahol pa sa hayup? E ang pakikiapid habang ika'y may asawa anung kababuyan ito? Pakisagot Manny!

Manny, di ka namin mapipigil kung gusto mong husgahan ang mga bakla sa mundo. Siguraduhin mo lng na di ka namin makakasalubong sa impyerno.

Manny maganda yung pagattend mo sa mga prayer meeting mo. Pero di masama kung umattend ka din sana noon sa kongreso.
