Manny Pacquiao and Kris Aquino nearly kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf if plan was not stopped says Aquino.
PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III said on Wednesday that Abu Sayyaf militants may have plotted to kill him and kidnap boxing star Manny Pacquiao, disclosing previously unknown details about an extremist group blamed for the beheading of a Canadian hostage.
Aquino said the bandits also wanted to explode bombs in metropolitan Manila to try to get funding from the Islamic State group but the plans were uncovered and troops have reduced the Abu Sayyaf’s ability to inflict harm.
Aquino, whose six-year term ends in June, vowed “to devote all my energies” to ensure that the extremists would be “at the very least … a very seriously degraded problem” for his successor.
