Justin Bieber has come upR has come under fire from politicians in the Philippines after he mocked Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following Pacquiao’s knockout bout with Juan Manuel Marquez earlier this month (Dec12), the Baby hitmaker uploaded two photoshopped snaps of the fighter on the floor of the boxing ring.<\/p>\n

One had The Lion King character Simba standing over Pacquiao alongside the caption, “Dad wake up”, while another mock-up had Michael Jackson in his famous leaning pose<\/em><\/a> from the Smooth Criminal video, mirroring Pacquiao just before he hit the floor.<\/p>\n

The snaps have outraged Filipino politicians, who have threatened to make Bieber a “persona non grata” in the country unless he apologizes for his “distasteful comments”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The statement from seven members of the Philippines Congress adds<\/strong>, “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 (sic) such stature best exemplifies humility and grace even in defeat.”<\/p>\n
