Madonna caused uproar last week when she used the Philippine flag in an ‘inappropriate’ manner – by wearing it.
She could now face a ban from the country after she was slammed by one of its top officials.
Reuters reports chief of the Heraldry Section of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, Teodoro Atienza, told radio station dzBB the flag had been “ridiculed” by the singer.
Atienza declared Madonna had violated a law that prohibits the wearing of the Philippine flag “in whole, or in part, as a costume or uniform”.
And Reuters reported the singer and concert producers could be held liable for the violation even if they were unaware of the law.
The Philippine’s Roman Catholic leader Archbishop Ramon Arguelles also called for Filipinos to boycott Madonna’s shows over her suggestive performances and outfits.
The tour features a segment called Holy Water that includes dancers dressed as scantily-clad nuns performing on cross-shaped stripper poles.
