Manila, Philippines - Having been vilified by netizens for various allegations, young businessman Xian Gaza deleted his posts on his social media accounts.
This, after giving a statement he wouldn't delete anything on his social media accounts.
Now, the only remaining posts on his Instagram account are the photo and video showing the billboard he mounted to invite Erich Gonzales for a coffee date, and a fan picture with the Kapamilya actress.
His Facebook only shows his last two posts.
Up until yesterday, July 4, he had kept the comment option of his Facebook page open in a post where he admitted that he was a former scammer.
His own comment to his post was addressed to his haters: “Consider it all as a freedom wall and freely express whatever you want, it's a free country anyway.”
SUV DEAL.
One of Xian's two remaining FB posts was a response to the accusation of actress Ella Cruz's mom, Jessica Cruz, that he issued them a bad check for the purchase of their Toyota Fortuner.
In an exclusive interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) yesterday, Jessica related that Xian gave them a post-dated check as down payment for their vehicle.
She said the post-dated checks turned out to have insufficient funds.
Moreover, the 24-year-old businessman decided to back out on their deal and returned their vehicle.
Xian explained his decision, “I personally pressured myself to take it dahil gusto ko silang i-impress kahit wala naman akong paggagamitan ng unit at wala ring siguradong buyer.
“When I found out that the unit is roughly 500K-550K ang market value at luging-lugi ako, there I decided not to fund it anymore and nagkasundo nalang na magsolian ng unit and so with my downpayment.
“We just came up ni Mr. Cruz last January 2017 na mag-danyos perwisyos ako ng 50K Pesos taking it from my downpayment para sa 3 weeks time na perwisyong nadulot ko sa kanila.”
QATAR SHOW. Xian, who described himself as a CEO of a startup company based in Hong Kong, also reacted to the accusation of receiving money from a certain Ryan Salcedo Tañada for a supposed event in Qatar.
Xian admitted to receiving an amount of P200,000 as a downpayment for an event in Qatar in which Tañada is the executive producer.
Xian related, "Without the knowledge of Mr. Tañada, the 200K Pesos was diverted to the operation expenses backlogs of Gazera Media na company namin ni Mr. Walter De Vera who is the founder of Filipino Vines community.
“I partnered with Mr. De Vera last March 2016 on a 50-50 ownership sharing, me as the pure financial partner while him as the industrial partner.”
According to Xian, the business did not do well so he stopped funding the company and proceeded to declare bankruptcy.
He wrote, “I stopped shelling funds to the company to stop my bleeding dahil wala na akong nakikitang kalalabasan na maganda on the aspect of profit generation and declared bankruptcy to Mr. De Vera last December 2016.”
HAIYAN SHIRT PROJECT. In the same long Facebook post, Xian also sought to clarity the charity project he initiated for Yolanda survivors.
This was in connection with the allegations raised by a netizen named Dewanie Catapang in her series of Twitter posts yesterday.
Her long Twitter thread cited instances to back up her claim that he is a scammer.
