Brown allowed to leave the Philippines
Print Edition
GRAMMY award-winning singer Chris Brown was finally allowed to leave the Philippines yesterday after being stranded for three days due to a fraud complaint against him for a canceled concert last New Year’s Eve.
Brown was able to obtain yesterday a certificate that allows him to leave the country, said Elaine Tan, spokeswoman for the Immigration Bureau.
The 26-year-old R&B artist performed on Tuesday at a packed concert in Manila but wasn’t allowed to leave after a corporation, run by an influential religious group’s members, filed a fraud complaint against him for a canceled New Year’s Eve gig.
Tan said Brown obtained the departure clearance at the bureau’s extension office and not at the main office in downtown Manila staked out by dozens of journalists.
She said the clearance was given after “verifying that Chris Brown has no other derogatory record apart from the (immigration lookout bulletin)” that was issued on Wednesday.
“Departure formalities will be implemented by immigration officers at the airport,” she added in a text message.
Earlier, Brown tweeted: “This is a very serious situation and someone needs to be held accountable for mixing my name up in all this. I’ve done nothing wrong.”
