What happens when you encounter your celebrity crushes IRL doing regular, blue-collared work?

You become part of a video assured to go viral for a long time, that’s what.

A brand of debit card had Alden Richards, James Reid, Liza Soberano and Kakai Bautista pretend to be regular pangkaraniwang masa doing regular pangkaraniwang jobs for one day. And then they filmed them.

Kapuso actor Richards disguised himself as a bagger named Ricky Salumbre, while Kapamilya star Reid took the role of a security guard named Gina Medina.

Actress Soberano transformed into a barista named Marga dela Paz and comedienne Bautista played a massage therapist Cathy Pinagpala.

In addition to doing their respective jobs, they were also tasked to engage people in small talk, and of course deny their true identity, if recognized.

The service then simultaneously released all four videos on social media on Nov 12, which up until now, are still going viral.

The celebrities took their roles seriously — grabe maka-small talk si Alden, while Liza was a real head turner inside the tea shop. James the security guard awkwardly frisked someone. Kakai was just way too talkative for a masahista.

The customers meanwhile were all shocked upon recognizing their idols. Some of them even cried while interacting with the artistas.

Those who recognized the actors were awarded preloaded debit cards, the chance encounter with their idols, plus an extended period of fame courtesy of these viral videos.
