Filipina celebrity Erich Gonzales is being asked for a date through a billboard message located in Morayta.
While millennials flock to social media and online dating apps like Tinder to find a match, Xian Gaza, the private individual who sponsored the billboard, is doing things differently.
The billboard bore the following message:
“I can’t even express how much I like you a latte.”
“Will you … drink coffee with me?”
Erika Chryselle “Erich Gonzales” Gancayco

Gaza lists himself as the president and CEO of a Hong Kong based company, Guanxiqian Group on his Facebook and Instagram profile. He posted a photo of the billboard on Instagram and tagged Gonzales’ profile.
They say it’s first time in Philippine history.
I say: That’s how special you are to me.
@erichgg , will you drink coffee with me?#PleaseSayYesErich

Gaza first met Gonzales in January 2017 during a movie screening at a mall in Quezon City. He took a selfie with her during the encounter, which he also posted on his Instagram profile.
Last January 5, I was so down and demotivated with life while nursing a broken heart. So I have decided to take a much-needed walk towards SM Aura’s chapel, crying while praying, desperately asking for some Divine strength and guidance then went down and decided to book a flight to Hong Kong immediately the next day to unwind and breathe some air. Afterwards, I jumped off to Uptown Mall Cinema to watch the last full show of “Assassin’s Creed” and much to my surprise you were seated right there in front of me along with some other four. After the movie, I mustered all courage I had up my sleeve in order to approach you and took this very selfie so that I may remember that magical moment. You, being kind, happily obliged. At that moment, you had left a massive imprint on my heart. You left me mesmerized.
I don’t wanna portray sainthood nor pretend to be one in your eyes. Yes, I’m a typical bachelor who tries to meet and mingle with some girls but there are two factors why nothing shall really work out that time. First, I’m on my ‘moving on’ stage and second is without your knowledge, you really touched a portion of my heart that even myself can’t describe nor put it into words. Half of 2017 had passed now and I made 29 flights to numerous locations taking that “Uptown Mall Cinema Moment” with me, and so with you who never left my mind.
