Deport the employees says Isko Moreno
Manila Mayor Isko Moreno submitted a letter to the Bureau of Immigration calling the deportation of Chinese employees of the firm selling products with a label stating Manila as Province of China.
Shi Zhong Xing and Shi Li Li, owners of Elegant Fumes Beauty Products, Inc., were also accused of several violations aside from selling a product called “Ashley Shine Keratin Treatment Deep Repair,” accompanied by a misleading label.
Based on the report of Manila Bulletin, Isko Moreno tagged labeling Manila as Province of China in its product, “unacceptable.”
“Hindi po ako governor ng China. Mayor po ako ng Maynila, Philippines. ‘Yan po ang address ng Maynila. Maynila ay Pilipinas, at ang Pilipinas ay malaya. May sariling soberentiya,” he said.
“Hindi natin hahayaan ang mga superpower na ‘yan na parang tayo ay pinipitik-pitik lang sa mata at binabalewala nila ang soberentiya ng ating bansa,” he added.
Meanwhile, Isko Moreno has requested the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to conduct an investigation regarding the matter.
According to him, the packaging of the haircare brand is “an affront to the sovereignty of the Philippines and an insult to its duly constituted authorities.”
The firm was immediately closed as per order by the Manila City Mayor.
