Manny Pacquiao Charity Sued - Used Clothes Are NOT 'Relief Goods' - TMZ Exclusive

By TMZ special to Doghouse Boxing. The Manny Pacquaio Foundation is learning the hard way
... used clothes do NOT count as "relief goods" in the Philippines ...
this according to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
Manny's charity is
being sued by a logistics company which claims they were hired by the
MPF to ship several containers filled with "relief goods" to Manny's
home country back in 2009.
But according to the lawsuit, "The
containers were inspected by the Philippines authorities and found to
have contained used clothing rather than relief goods and have held such
containers as a violation of Philippines law."
The logistics
company says the goods never made it to the people in need ... because
they were confiscated by Philippine officials.
In the suit, the
company implies Manny's Foundation is using the incident as an excuse to
dodge the $35,805.36 bill ... even though it clearly believes it was
the Foundation's responsibility to correctly label the goods.
The shipping company is now demanding the full payment -- plus interest.
Calls to the Manny Pacquiao Foundation have not been returned.
