A lawmaker in the Philippines has been urging Congress to officially ban Canadian superstar Justin Bieber from ever setting foot in the country again after he posted some photos to Instagram that offended the country.

Yacap party-list Rep. Carol Jane Lopez is attempting to get the 'As Long As You Love Me' sensation declared "persona non grata" for allegedly mocking boxing champion Manny Pacquiao in photographs shared via his Instagram account.

In addition to this, Lopez has asked Filipino youth to boycott Bieber's concerts and his music. The pictures uploaded by Bieber show Pacquiao knocked out cold inside the ring with a worried baby Simba (from Disney's The Lion King') and Pacquiao slumped forward and photoshopped to look like he's doing Michael Jackson's iconic 'lean' move.

Lopez also cited Bieber's admiration and support of American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr (shown below) as the leading reason for why his Instagram uploads were so offensive and personal. 

'Ban Justin Bieber' is currently in the Top 10 worldwide trending topics list on social networking site Twitter, with many of his fans talking about the situation.
