MANILA: A Philippine lawmaker is seeking to permanently ban US Republican presidential **minee Donald Trump from visiting the Southeast Asian nation after the billionaire called it one of the "terrorist nations".
Trump has ** major business in the Philippines, but developer Century Properties Group Inc is building a $150-million Trump Tower, a high-rise residential building under licence from the American real estate mogul.
In a bill filed in Manila’s House of Representatives, Congressman Joey Salceda said, "There is ** feasible basis or reasonable justification to the wholesale labelling of Filipi**s as coming from a ‘terrorist state’ or that they will be a Trojan horse."
Salceda was referring to Trump’s comments at a rally on Thursday in Portland, Maine, in which he took a**ther swipe at immigrants.
