For women for whom a romantic commitment remains elusive, this might be a solution to all your single problems: rent a fake boyfriend.
A young man named Marvin Buyan Alcantara is advertising his services on Facebook as a fake boyfriend to desperate ladies looking for a date for the Christmas holidays.
In his photo ad which he posted on Facebook on December 2, the 22-year-old Marvin, who is 5’6″ tall, said he’s an electrical engineer from Taytay, Rizal.
“5’6 lang eh pero mahaba ang pasensya ko. ‘Wag mo na kong pag-trying kumanta at sumayaw baka mas lalo ka lang humanga,” Marvin wrote.
“Marunong ako mag-tagalog, pero ‘pag nakainom napapa-english ako,” he added.
He offers his services as follows:
First package (P100):
*Hugs and holding hands.
*Netflix and chill.
*Fishball and kikiam only.
Second package 2 (P250): *Hugs and holding hands.
*Conversation about life.
*Movie date.
*Flowers.
*Selfies that can be posted on “My Day.”
Third package (PM for the price):
*Hugs and holding hands.
*Kisses.
*Conversation about life.
*Selfies.
*Flowers.
*You can bring and introduce him as a boyfriend to your family and friends.
In an interview with DailyPedia, Marvin said he wasn’t serious about renting out his “boyfriend services.”
“It’s just for fun. I’m working right now,” he said.
When asked about his parents’ reactions to the photo ad, Marvin noted that his parents just had fun with it.
“Nakatuwaan na lang po nila. Kilala naman nila ako simula bata,” he said.
“They know my post went viral,” he added.
Marvin noted that he doesn’t mind receiving negative comments on his post.
“Mas nagfo-focus kasi ako at natutuwa sa mga nakaka-appreciate ng nasabi ko sa post ko,” he added.
Marvin’s post has since gone viral with over 11,000 likes. It has also been shared more than 5,000 times. Over 14,000 people had already commented, mostly having fun at his photo ad.
