Chris Brown barred from leaving PH
MANILA -Singer Chris Brown was barred by airport authorities from leaving the country on Wednesday, a day after his concert at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Brown's plane, a Gulfstream G450 aircraft, was supposed to depart at 1 p.m. Wednesday from a private hangar near Terminal 4 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
However, the singer was advised by immigration and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines to secure clearance from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima confirmed that the DOJ had issued a lookout bulletin against Brown in relation to a complaint over the singer's canceled show at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan last New Year's Eve.
De Lima did not mention who specifically filed the complaint.
As of writing, Brown was still seeking clearance from authorities, with the singer hoping to leave the country within the day. -- with reports from Raoul Esperas and Dexter Ganibe, DZMM
