Britney Spears caused a stir among Filipino netizens in 2007 when she wrote in her song “Piece of Me” that she wants to “sneak away to the Philippines” to avoid American tabloid journalists. Last year, disk jockey Andi Manzano tweeted that Britney Spears would be coming to Manila for her Femme Fatale Tour – a claim that later on proved to be false.
