Getting selected values from selectManyChoice component inside valueChangeListener

Question

Hwo do I get the selected values from the selectManyChoice component inside the valueChangeListener.
The API docs for valueChangeEvent.getNewValue() show the return type as java.lang.object. This is good for single value what does it return in case of multiple values.
My drop down has string values so I am expecting a set of string values.

JDev - 11.1.2.3
public void onRegionSelect(ValueChangeEvent event) {
event.getComponent().processUpdates(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
if (!PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION.equals(event.getPhaseId())) {
event.setPhaseId(PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION);
event.queue();
} else {
List<Object> values = Arrays.asList(event.getNewValue());
System.out.println("Value changed ==>> "+values.size());
DCBindingContainer dc =
(DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
DCIteratorBinding iter = dc.findIteratorBinding("RegVO1Iterator");
ViewObject vo = iter.getViewObject();
StringBuffer regions = new StringBuffer();
for(Object index : values){
String iIndex = (String)index;
Row row  = vo.getRowAtRangeIndex(Integer.parseInt(iIndex));
regions.append((String)row.getAttribute("Region")+",");
String reg = regions.toString();
if(reg.endsWith(","))
reg = reg.substring(0,reg.lastIndexOf(","));
System.out.println(reg);
