Hundreds of netizens have supported a petition asking sportswear company Nike to drop boxer and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao as an endorser, following his remarks against gays.

The petition, initiated by Gay Marriage USA via Change.org, asks Nike to "say 'no' to hate speech" by withdrawing its sponsorship of Pacquiao, a champion boxer whom the brand has supported since 2008.

"Following [U.S. President Barack] Obama's recent announcement of support for marriage equality, Pacquiao quoted Bible excerpts to state that homosexuals should be put to death: If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads," the petition read.

Pacquiao has also been quoted as saying marriage "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."

Derek Ramsay admitted that his six-year relationship with Angelica Panganiban is over.

“Guys we truly appreciate all your concerns. Even though Angel and I are no longer together we still have the utmost respect for one another,” Derek said on his Twitter account.

“Guys pls don't believe any of the rumors about angel and john Lloyd. They did scenes for a movie and that's it. That's the truth. Tnx :),” Derek said.
