A would-be presidential candidate who promised each Filipino P1 million in return for their vote has been asked to vacate his old campaign headquarters for non-payment of rent, among other reasons.

A Quezon City metropolitan trial court judge ordered yesterday the eviction of Eddie Gil from his former campaign headquarters along Quezon Avenue and EDSA after he lost a battle with the JWS Development Corp., which claims ownership of the property.

A Makati City judge issued yesterday a warrant of arrest for Gil for failing to appear for his arraignment on a bouncing check case filed against him in 2001. The self-proclaimed billionaire allegedly issued a check for P270,000 for musical instruments.

Gil was only recently allowed by the Supreme Court to continue his campaign after the Commission on Elections disqualified him from the presidential race for being a nuisance candidate.
