Two Chinese Businessmen to be Expelled from the Philippines for Branding Manila as a Province of China

Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno", said on social media that he would expel two Chinese businessmen from the country. Their cosmetic products showed an address of "Manila Province, P.R. China". Besides, the city government found that the company did not get permission from the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines and ordered the company to close down.

Levi Facundo, Director of Bureau of Permits and Licensing Office, who led the operation against the company, said that the department had received many complaints about the product's labels, which are from Binondo, Manila's Chinatown, after tracing. Facundo said these products were misrepresentation and considered as a basis to shut down the business automatically. "There is no Binondo in China. Binondo is in Manila. This is a serious insult, and we do not allow this" said Facundo.
