Like or Dislike: A Scary Wedding Proposal


Source: www.abs-cbnnews.com

Cameras recorded an apparent hostage-taking inside a restaurant in Quezon City last Saturday, which turned out to be an elaborate prank ending as an actual wedding proposal.

The video of the prank, which was uploaded on YouTube by producer Tootoots Leyesa, shows a couple browsing items at the Van Gogh Is Bipolar restaurant.

According to the introduction shown in the video, the footage was taken "on the evening of 23 November 2013."

The set-up: an armed man being chased by the police, played by film actor Leon Miguel, goes inside the restaurant and takes the boyfriend hostage. "Faced with the possibility of dying, the hostage had one simple wish," the introduction read.

Taken from two angles -- one from the restaurant's CCTV camera and another from a hidden camera -- the video shows the chilling skit of a violent hostage-taker shouting and cursing at the pleading man

"Damay-damay na 'to, [expletive]," the irate hostage-taker says as he tugs at the man's collar.

"Wala naman kaming ginagawa sa inyo, eh," protests the hostage, who is sitting on a chair. "Kakain lang kami, o. Bigyan niyo man lang ako ng pagkakataon... Hindi ko pa nga napapakasalan 'tong girlfriend ko, eh."

The man's pleading gets a violent reaction from the suspect.

Although not seen as she is seated in a corner of the restaurant, the woman is heard telling her boyfriend to stop talking. "Babe, huwag ka na magsalita!"

The boyfriend, however, continues, "Gusto ko lang pakasalan 'yung girlfriend ko! Huwag ganito!"

The suspect then appears to push the man towards his girlfriend. Still in character, the hostage-taker hands the man a ring and allows him to propose.

The boyfriend quips, "Puwede bang hulugan 'to?"

He continues, now addressing his girlfriend, "It has been a roller coaster ride for the past four, five years for us... I don't know the perfect timing for this, but I think right now is the right time for this -- to ask you: Will you be my partner in case of a zombie apocalypse?"

"May I have the honor to be your husband? Will you marry me?" the man asks, now kneeling on the floor in front of his girlfriend.

Wiping tears as she laughs, the woman says yes.

A number of men, who appear to be accomplices in the prank, then emerge as they applaud and congratulate the newly engaged couple.

"Ang galing niyo umarte!" says the woman, still wiping tears.

As of writing, the YouTube video of the proposal had over 5,000 views.

Leyesa, the producer of the video, told ABS-CBNnews.com in an e-mail on Wednesday that the couple, therapist Calvin Leorna and kids' yoga teacher Annabelle Jay-Ar Trono, have been together for over four years.

They are planning to get married in late December.

    1. siguro yun ang personality nila.. so bahala sila sa buhay nila.. sundin ang trip as long as walang nasasaktang ibang tao.. pero kung ako yan.. naku baka lalo kong hindi pakasalan yan. pero siguro kaya naman nya ginawa yan dahil alam ni lalaki na matutuwa ang gf nya.

    2. I agree. Not romantic at all. Epic fail for me. I feel for the girl, traumatic experience.

  9. Ok congrats! Pero kung ako dun sa girl, tatad*ak*n ko muna yung boyfriend (cum fiance) ko bago sagot at suot ng singsing para magtanda at huwag nang ulitin ang ganitong paut*t sa araw ng kasal ko. Yun lang.

  22. hindi ko talaga gusto public proposals. mano't sila sila na lang, pinapakita pa sa iba.e hindi naman lahat natutuwa

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ok sya if they kept it to themselves kasi they know each other's sense of humor pero with the intention of making it viral, some might find it in bad taste, na parang trying hard.

    ReplyDelete
  24. nasan ang romatic moments dun? sana'y wag ma-imbibe ng pagsasama nila ang concept ng wedding proposal. scary and too dangerous! - matandang mapamahiin

    ReplyDelete
  25. super dislike! bad idea to scare the woman you want to marry. madami namang pakulo but not this...this is crazy

    ReplyDelete
  26. it was nice, except for the bad camera angles and lighting

  27. mabuti na lang walang sakit sa puso si girl kung hindi matitigok un ng di oras panigurado. malamang sa ospital ang bagsak ng wedding proposal niya.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Mas gusto ko pa yung nag-propose nung zombie run last year. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Dislike. Too adventurous/dangerous. Pano kung pumalpak plano nila, like meron nakakita na hindi accomplice at nagreport sa pulis? E di nakagulo pa sila. I don't find it romantic.

    ReplyDelete
  30. What a poorly done wedding proposal! The main actor was so lame as well as the antagonist! They remind me of Elmo magalona & machete aljur abrenica na parehong tuod umarte hahahaha

  34. A proposal should be a beautiful and romantic moment, not this.

    ReplyDelete
  35. ang panget umarte nung bf. its not even funny/romantic. nainis lang ako dahil sa panget ng pag arte.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Honestly naiyak ako. You should be happy for them. Stop being bitter guys! Medyo corny sana mas nakakatakot pa yung hostage taker n sinampal sampal muna yung guy. Habang umiiyak yung girl then sabhin nung guy, kuya kung mamatay lang din ako gusto ko magpropose muna sa gf ko. To make things more serious. Then yun na!

    ReplyDelete
  37. the script is crappy. trying hard na maiba ung proposal pero ang ending nakakainis.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Scripted na scripted ang arte ng lalaki. Imbis maawa ka nakakairita naman.

    ReplyDelete
  39. new concept = negative comments... that's how we are... am sure they planned everything out, imagine they even hired an actor. congrats guys!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  44. traumatic? eh di na nga nag react yung girl? paano naging traumatic? she said YES!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. 2 thumbs up for creativity!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Never ko talaga feel yung mga guys na kailangan pa i publicize ang pagpo-propose.
    Ang nangyayari, sa guy naka-focus ang attention.
    Moment dapat ng girl ang wedding proposals, diba?
    Bad omen yata ganito eh, na ang guy eh attention-seeking ang peg.

  47. i love it. it's different. and it's definitely not for everybody. I admire the gutsy guy. to go against the grain is always the hardest. kudos to the couple. i know a number of people who shed a tear after watching the video. long live!

    ReplyDelete
  48. i think if the camera angle was ok, baka mas ma-appreciate natin. but i love the guy's proposal line, i guess nasa personality nga nila yang mga takutan na yan. sweet na din. but i wouldnt want this for my proposal!
