In an interview with the Manila Standard and ABS-CBN?s Dyan Castillejo on the eve of the million people march at the Luneta, Pacquiao said "Whatever the decision of the President is we need to respect his decision. He is the authority.? At the same time Pacquiao said he believes the President ?will do what?s best not for himself but for our country and our people.?

Pacquiao who spoke to the Standard and ABS-CBN after attending the 11th anniversary celebration of the ?River of God? church at Crowne Plaza in Ortigas said ?What I am doing is praying for our nation and praying for the President that God will guide him to make a good decision."
