Christian “Xian” Gaza surrendered to Malabon City police after two courts ordered him arrested for alleged violation of the antibouncing checks law in connection with a P3-million investment scam. Gaza, 24, generated some social media buzz in 2017 when he bought outdoor ad space to publicly ask actress Erich Gonzales out for coffee. He arrived at the police station on Thursday in a cheery mood, even posing for photos with some officers and kibitzers. Gaza then issued checks as payment, but Asuncion said they started to bounce by the time the balance stood at about P600,000. Asuncion said Gaza then “disappeared” and could not be contacted about the checks but remained active on social media.
