A CEO asked actress Erich Gonzales out on a date in an unusual way.

Xian Gaza, president and CEO of Hongkong-based Guanxiqian Group, put up a huge billboard in Morayta, Manila on Saturday with the message: I can’t even espresso how I like you a latte. Will you… drink coffee with me?”

Gaza shared a photo of the billboard on Instagram with the caption, “They say it’s first time in Philippine history. I say: That’s how special you are to me. Erich Gonzales, will you drink coffee with me? #PleaseSayYesErich #CoffeeWithErich”

Gaza met Erika Gancayco or more commonly known as Erich Gonzales at a movie screening earlier this year and took a selfie with the actress. (https://www.instagram.com/p/BWCNN_cjEMj/?taken-by=xiangaza)

Since then, the young CEO has developed a great admiration for the actress.

“I really hope to meet you soon, Ms. Gancayco. And above all else, thank you very much for unknowingly making me smile and inspiring me in each passing day for the last half year,” Gaza said in a Facebook post.

The actress has yet to reply to the invitation.
