‘Zero Kilometers Away’ graphic artist proposes to GF with Episode 5 Easter egg

The creator of the visual art for ‘Zero Kilometers Away’ made a marriage proposal to his girlfriend through an installment of the online program.

Alvin Caintic, who produces the on-screen pop-ups for the show, hid a hidden message in Episode 5 when Ardi, portrayed by Mavy Legaspi, was browsing through social media.

Among the posts that appeared on the newsfeed was a collection of photographs featuring Alvin and his girlfriend. In addition, there was a black velvet box containing a ring.

“Will you marry me?” reads the caption underneath.

Caintic originally wanted to propose in Luneta.

“May special meaning kasi ‘yun para sa kanya. Tapos Kilometer Zero pa. Kaso umulan that time,” he said.

“Naisip ko na isingit ko na lang sa graphics ng digital series, kasi nanonood siya nu’n. Para may surprise factor dito,” he continued.

He then proposed while his girlfriend was watching the episode.

“Habang nanonood siya, pinause ko,” he said.

He concluded, “Nagulat siya noong pinabasa ko sa kanya ‘yung nakasulat sa caption. Paglingon niya, hawak ko na ‘yung singsing.”
