In his proposed legislation to ban Trump, Salceda cited a 2001 memorandum issued by the Philippine immigration agency. A lawmaker in the Philippines is calling for Donald Trump to be banned from the country after the U.S. presidential candidate suggested that Philippine immigrants posed a threat to the United States. That proposal prompted Britain's Parliament to call a debate in January on whether to ban Trump. Trump does not have major business interests in the Philippines, though he has licensed his name to the Trump Tower Manila, a large residential tower scheduled to open in the Philippine capital this year. The debate was noteworthy for its colorful language — one lawmaker called Trump "the orange prince of American self-publicity" — but the move to ban him was unsuccessful.
