MANILA \u2013 The Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a subpoena to American singer Chris Brown to appear in the preliminary investigation hearing of Iglesia Ni Cristo\u2019s (INC) estafa case against him.<\/p>\n

Aside from Brown, his Filipino-Canadian promoter, John Michael Pio Roda, was also summoned to appear in the hearing scheduled on Friday, 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are hereby directed to obtain, personally or through representatives, copies of the complaint, supporting affidavits and other evidence submitted by the complainant. You or your representative are\/is likewise entitled to examine all other evidence submitted by complainant,\u201d the subpoena read.<\/p>\n

Should Brown and Roda fail to comply with the orders, it \u2018shall be considered as a waiver of your right to be furnished copies of the complaint, supporting affidavits and other documents, as well as to examine all other evidence submitted by the complainant.\u2019<\/p>\n

It can be recalled that INC\u2019s Maligaya Development Corp. (MDC) earlier filed an estafa complaint against Brown and his promoter after the RnB singer failed to show up for a New Year\u2019s Eve concert at the Philippine Arena on December 31, 2014. Moreover, Brown was already paid about P40million.<\/p>\n

Just last week, Brown was in the Philippines and performed at a mall in Pasay City. The American singer was then prevented from leaving the country after the Bureau of Immigration (BI) issued a lookout bulletin order against him. Brown, however, was later on allowed to depart after securing a clearance.<\/p>\n

Roda, on the other hand, remained detained at the BI jail. He has been currently facing a deportation case for being an undesirable alien.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
