UPDATED 2:30 p.m. ET: Zayn Malik has left One Direction's tour of Asia and returned to the UK, after being signed off with stress. A statement said: "Zayn has been signed off with stress and is flying back to the UK to recuperate. The band wish him well and will continue with their performances in Manila and Jakarta."
LONDON -- Should One Direction want to get chiller in Manila, it will cost them a pretty penny.
The Philippines' Bureau of Immigration has imposed a "weed bond" on the band, asking 1D members Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson to post bonds of almost $5,000 (£3,360) each, which will be forfeited if they're caught using or promoting illegal drugs during their concert this weekend.
The demand follows a request by the local Anti-Drugs Advocate group to the bureau to keep an eye on 1D, after Malik and Tomlinson were reportedly seen smoking joints in Peru in a video published by The Daily Mail.
Liam Payne, another 1D member, apologised after the video was published, but it apparently wasn't good enough for anti-drugs campaigners in the Philippines.
Malik and Tomlinson are required to post a 200,000-pesos ($4,470) bond and a 20,000-pesos ($447) processing fee each, which their producer paid, bureau spokeswoman Elaine Tan said Thursday.
"The condition is intended to protect the public interest should the band members commit any violation during their stay in the Philippines," she said.
I love my boys and maybe things have gone a little sideways I apologise for that.We are only in our 20's we all do stupid things at this age— Liam (@Real_Liam_Payne) May 31, 2014
One Direction is scheduled to perform at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds in Manila as part of its "On The Road Again" tour, but a producer for the show had to post the bond and fee Thursday afternoon in order for it to go ahead.
The Anti-Drugs Advocate group has also urged the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency to send officers to monitor the band.
"We want to see their pure, raw, untainted talent," without need for them to take drugs, Anti-Drugs Advocate spokeswoman Christine Ching said, adding that producers for the show have given her team access passes to monitor 1D band members.
One fan, Ella Samson, was unfazed. "To be honest, there are a lot of videos that are coming out showing people doing drugs," she told the Associated Press. "If this group is coming here to perform, will they take drugs while they are performing? Of course not."
