Justin Bieber offends the Philippines with boxer jokes

A group of politicians in the Philippines have called for Justin Bieber to apologise after making fun of the country's star boxer Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao lost by knockout earlier this month to Juan Manuel Marquez and his defeat seemed to tickle Bieber.

He posted joke images on his Instagram of Pacquiao, including one of the boxer knocked out in the ring with Lion King's Simba saying "Dad wake up".

This has seemingly angered seven members of the Philippines Congress, who have asked Bieber to apologise for his images.

They added: "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."

It's not been the best few days for Bieber, who was recently criticised by the California Hamster Assocation for giving away his hamster PAC to a pack of screaming fans.

However, the hamster and new owner are said to be doing fine.
