Young CEO Xian Gaza endured two things following his extravagant coffee invite to Erich Gonzales: lots of nods and loads of bashings.
As social media went abuzz over his billboard act, there have been outcries that the 23-year-old businessman is allegedly a “scammer.” Joining the critics is actress Ella Cruz’s mom, who, aside from calling Gaza a “scammer”, also called him a “stalker.”
In a recent post, Cruz’s mom who goes by the name Jesica Zurc on Facebook, aired out her sentiment over Gaza’s much talked-about coffee date proposal to Gonzales.
“Wow para luminis name nya sa scammer issue nya, may pa billboard naman ngyon… may nauto nanaman sya guys para mag invest sa monkey business nya..”
(Wow, just so his name would be cleared of the scammer issues, he did this billboard gimmick now… He was able to fool people again so they would invest in his monkey business.)
Netizens were quick to react on her statement. Zurc repeatedly answered curious netizens who asked if Gaza is actually a scammer. In her replies, she alleged that he recently got involved in a scamming incident and is making noise to cover up his acts, to supposedly entice people to invest in his business.
Further, she commented that Gaza has also come after her daughter: “Nag stalk na yan kay ella kaya i know d guy.” (He has stalked Ella so I know the guy.)

She also criticized the “millionaire” label on Gaza and instead called him “pasikat” (fame-whore).

Backtracking into his Facebook account, some public posts of Gaza indeed bore images of Ella Cruz and captions pertaining to her.
In a post dated October 4, 2016, the controversial CEO uploaded a photo of the actress-dancer with the caption: “I don’t believe in courtship. It’s a waste of time. If I love the person, I’ll tell her right away. But for you, I’ll make an exception. JUST LOVE ME NOW AND I WILL COURT YOU FOREVER.”

In another Facebook post dated November 4, 2016, Gaza uploaded a photo of the actress and him together, with this caption: “They say in every man’s success there’s a woman behind it, and I want you to be that woman. Not behind but beside me. Build an empire with you Gabriela.”

It is not clear if the two have been in a relationship, but given his past posts and recent ones that involve Gonzales, it would seem that Gaza has the tendency to be attracted to celebrities. Inquirer.net has sought Gaza’s comment on the issues surrounding him, but he has not responded yet as of this writing. JB
