Pacquiao To File Multiple Cases Against Vlogger Francis Leo Marcos
FILE
Former senator and boxing icon Manny Pacquiao said Friday he is preparing to file several complaints against arrested vlogger Norman Mangusin, also known as Francis Leo Marcos, accusing him of spreading false information and deceiving the public.
Speaking in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB, Pacquiao did not mince words.
"May mga kaso akong isasampa sa kanya, hindi lang isa, but marami. Naka-prepare na lahat 'yun, pati 'yung mga ebidensya… Hindi ko pa nga na-meet itong taong ito. Gusto ko makita siya personally," Pacquiao said.
According to Pacquiao, Mangusin repeatedly invoked his name and fabricated stories for personal gain.
"Mahilig siya mag-name dropping and then gumawa ng story na hindi naman totoo. Para lang sa kanyang personal gain. Mahirap 'yun. Marami rin mga tao na naniniwala sa kanya, na napaniwala niya. Pero marami siyang tao na niloko, especially 'yung mga OFW natin," he said.
Pacquiao has yet to disclose the exact charges he intends to file.
Mangusin was arrested Tuesday by the Philippine National Police - Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in a hotel in Pasay City in connection with an unjust vexation case. Authorities recommended bail set at P120,000.
Police also cited his alleged unauthorized use of a police uniform, as well as the reported use of multiple names, passports, and birth certificates. The presence of unauthorized security personnel linked to the vlogger was likewise flagged.
On Friday morning, Mangusin was transferred from Camp Crame in Quezon City to the Parañaque City Jail after a court-issued commitment order.
“The [Bureau of Jail Management and Penology] confirms that at about 10:20 AM of 27 February 2026, Parañaque City Jail Male Dormitory received into custody Mr. Norman Mangusin,” BJMP spokesperson Jail Superintendent Jayrex Bustinera told GMA News Online in a message.
Meanwhile, CIDG-National Capital Region chief Police Colonel John Guiagui said their office has filed an opposition to Mangusin’s bail, citing other pending complaints.
“Yung opposition natin kasi marami pang naka-pending na kaso niya. So inaano natin na meron nang mga kasunod kaagad. Nagpa-receive tayo doon sa korte kaso wala naman pa silang response doon,” Guiagui told reporters.
As legal actions mount, the controversy surrounding the vlogger continues to unfold, with Pacquiao signaling he is ready to pursue the matter in court.
