Christian Albert Gaza, more popularly known as Xian Gaza, surrendered to Malabon police after two investors sought for his arrest due to an alleged investment scam.
According to previous reports, the Chinese business man was sued by Jaime Asuncion and Melinda Cruz for allegedly duping them into lending him at least P3 million.
The investors said Gaza can no longer be found after Branches 26 and 120 of Malabon Metropolitan Trial Court released two warrants of arrest against him for violations against Batas Pambansa (BP) 22 or the Anti-Bouncing Checks Law.
After the issue erupted, Gaza seemingly took the accusations lightly and posted several photos poking fun at his case on Facebook.
In the photo shared by Philippine Star, Gaza was all smiles and even gestured a peace sign as police put him in handcuffs and locked him in a prison cell.
Gaza asked help from his friends to pay for his bail as he is financially broke, reported Philippine Star.
“I became a fraud along the way. I really hate the person I’ve become,” he said.
While this the first time he has been placed behind bars, Gaza’s name has already been involved in a handful of issues.
Several netizens have aired out their dealings with Gaza. One of them is Dewanie Catapang who claimed to have worked with Gaza for the “Haiyan Shirt Project”. According to Catapang, the project never took off and she did not get paid for her work in the said project.
Gaza, president and CEO of Hongkong-based Guanxiqian Group, made rounds on social media last year when he asked actress Erich Gonzales to go on a date with him by putting up a huge billboard in Morayta, Manila.
