Anthony C. Marquez had been issued a Warrant of Arrest on Oct 9, 2019 by Judge Cesar C. Huliganga under criminal case # 19-2933, MTC, City of Paranaque.
The Accused remains a fugitive operating a commercial rental. Business Permit Licensing Office (BPLO) headed by Atty. Soriano-Malaya was informed but has not taken action to revoke the issued business license. I would like to know if the fugitive/accused is legally allowed to operate his commercial rental while he remains in hiding in Canada, but continues to benefit from his commercial rental income.
