The former members of Heart Evangelista’s glam team, Justin Soriano and Jeck Aguilar, gained widespread attention when they were reportedly prevented from boarding their flight to Dubai, allegedly due to an immigration hold order.
Speculation arose among netizens, suggesting a connection between Heart Evangelista and her husband, Senator Chiz Escudero, and the incident, given the reported fallout between Heart and her former glam team. However, many netizens came to Heart’s defense, asserting that she had no involvement in Justin and Jeck’s travel issues.
Influencer and businessman Xian Gaza was among those supporting Heart, offering a different perspective. Xian proposed that the complications may have arisen from issues with Justin and Jeck’s Dubai visas, resulting in the denial of a boarding pass.
“It is not true that the former glam team of Heart Evangelista has a hold departure order. The issue lies with their Dubai visas, which is why they were not issued a boarding pass at the PAL check-in counter. Without a boarding pass, one cannot proceed to the immigration counter. Without being at the immigration counter, it is impossible to know whether there is a hold departure order or not. It is also untrue that they were employed by Heart through her husband’s connections.
Let’s refrain from spreading fake news. If you check the Bureau of Immigration database for the name “Christian Albert Soriano Gaza,” you will realize that my records are clean, and I am allowed to enter and exit the Philippines. I am not on any watchlist, and there is no hold departure order against me. I have not been offloaded even once. My record is very clean. It turns out I’m the one who doesn’t want to return to the country because I cannot risk my enjoyable life abroad.”
Here is the original post of Xian Gaza:
“Hindi totoo na may hold departure order yung dating glam team ni Heart Evangelista. Yung Dubai visa nila ang may problema kaya sa check-in counter pa lang ng PAL ay hindi na sila inissuehan ng boarding pass. Kapag wala kang boarding pass, hindi ka makakapila sa immigration counter. Kapag wala ka sa immigration counter, hindi mo malalaman kung may HDO ka ba o wala. Hindi ka rin mao-offload. Hindi totoo na pinatrabaho sila ni Heart through her husband’s connections.
“Huwag sana tayong magpakalat ng fake news. At kapag sinilip niyo sa database ng Bureau of Immigration yung pangalang “Christian Albert Soriano Gaza”, mare-realize niyo na malinis pala ang records ko at pwedeng maglabas-masok ng Pilipinas. Wala pala ako sa watchlist at wala ring hold departure order. Wala ring offload maski isa. Very clean record. Ako lang pala yung ayaw umuwi ng bansa kasi hindi ko kayang i-take risk yung napakasarap kong buhay sa abroad.”
