FEATHERWEIGHT KING Manny Pacquiao has denied any involvement in the mauling of a 25-year-old party gatecrasher in General Santos City early yesterday morning. Pacquiao told the Bulletin upon his arrival in Manila yesterday afternoon that a certain Ricky Teves, a perennial troublemaker in the neighborhood, threw a bottle of beer on the direction of his wife Jinkee during a birthday party of his ?kumpare.?
?Hindi ko siya (Teves) sinuntok,? Pacquiao said at the L&M Gym in Sampaloc, where a post-Christmas party was being held for active and retired boxers and trainers.
?Hindi ako nanuntok kundi yung kumpare ko at yung mga ibang tao na umattend din ng party.?
Pacquiao claimed that he immediately called the attention of those manning a police station just 30 meters away from the house of the celebrant.
