Aquino released a statement on Wednesday saying Abu Sayyaf, a notorious kidnap-for-ransom gang that has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and beheaded a Canadian hostage this week, had planned to abduct Pacquiao or his children. I was alarmed. I&rsquo;m surprised because all Filipinos are my friends.
I love them, especially Muslims. We&rsquo;ve added security for my family and me,&rdquo; he said.
