MANILA, Philippines -- A Metropolitan Trial Court (MTC) in Quezon City has issued an arrest warrant against Bataan province Vice Mayor Dexter Dominguez, also known as Teri Onor, after Dominguez allegedly failed to show up in three different hearings regarding two counts of estafa filed against him by a businesswoman.

Maria Luisa Mariano, 46, a resident of Project 3 in Quezon City, had earlier filed charges against Dominguez, a comedian and current vice mayor of Abucay, Bataan, for violating Batas Pambansa Blg. 22 or the bouncing checks law.

The arrest warrant was issued on Sept. 24 by acting presiding judge Catherine Manodon of the MTC Branch 43 who ordered a bail of P20,000 for the release of the accused.

Mariano accused Dominguez of allegedly borrowing from her a total of P1.68 million on different dates in March 2006.

Mariano, who sells health products, said she met Dominguez through a common friend. After a couple of weeks, she said Dominguez started borrowing money from her reportedly to finance a perfume business he was about to launch.

Dominguez apparently showed her the income he was getting from his shows in several bars and restaurants in Metro Manila where he performs, which enticed her to lend him the amount. Dominguez gave her 15 checks that bounced, Mariano added. "
