According to the official Philippines News Agency this is all due to a dispute of contract. Brown, 26, performed a concert as planned, but was held for supposedly failing to appear for a performance last New Year's Eve and it's said that he must pay back monies to the promoter for that event.Yikes!
According to the Bureau of Immigration Brown and his promoter John Michael Pio Roda could get a clearance certificate that would allow them to leave IF the Department of Justice consented.
