What’s wrong with the Japanese customs?! Don’t they know how much pricey air fare is?

Kapamilya Actor John Lloyd Cruz was prevented from entering Japan Saturday, ABS-CBN has confirmed to the Inquirer.


“The authorities thought he was there for a concert with Martin Nievera,” said Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications. Cruz was actually in Japan for a concert with actress Nikki Gil, the network said.

Following the instructions of Japanese authorities, Cruz flew back to Manila the same day, obtained the correct papers and is now back in Tokyo.

The network said Cruz was not detained and would explain the matter further upon his return next week.
