The Mariah and Manda episode

The heir apparent to the throne of Great Britain, Prince William once requested an audience with pop icon Britney Spears. The tall and handsome royal was indeed granted his request. Back on Philippine soil, a more parochial incident transpired akin to this. We called up an old high-school pal, Rhiza Ortiz, who bought in Mariah Carey for a one-on-one with the celebrity.

She was quick to elucidate the episode where General Manager Edgar Manda of the NAIA wanted to meet Mariah at the VIP lounge. Not knowing whom the GM was, Mariah's bodyguards shooed Manda along with other NAIA officials.

Manda characteristically made yet another scene in the media. International and local celebs have every right to say no to visits and courtesy calls. These artists have a universe of their own and are not government workers that follow protocol. Unless the GM becomes royalty, he should just stick to his post of cleaning up the airdome.
