To he and his loyal Beliebers, it was just a little fun.
Unfortunately for Justin Bieber though, digs made at Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao earlier this month has seen him potentially banned from entering the Philippines.
Details below…
Following his embarrassing loss to Juan Marquez in Las Vegas, Manny became the butt of many a joke sent his way by the ‘Believe’ singer, as published on his personal Instagram page below:
In response to his jabs, Manny declared that he would pray for the star- who latest LP hit US sales of 1, 141,000 units this months. This however, came as no consolation to Filipino congressmen who released the following statement today- urging the singer to be banned from the country.
They explained:
“Mr. Bieber should have known that the Hon. Pacquiao has reached his stature as such as a result of sheer hard work, determination and firm belief in God, and despite such stature best exemplifies humility and grace even in defeat.”
This was shortly followed by a resolution filed by these politicians demanding an apology for his ‘distasteful comments, lest he be declared person non grata‘, which in English means ‘an unwelcome person’.
Ouch.
