Pacquiao camp remains mum on tax issue because of gag order

REIGNING World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao refused to comment on his the tax issues with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), saying that a ‘gag order’ issued by the Court of Tax Appeals is still in effect.

“No comment but we’re doing our obligation,” Pacquiao told The Manila Times in a phone interview before his Philippine Basketball Association team KIA Sorento played against Purefoods at the Ynares Sports Center in Antipolo City on Wednesday.
