G ka ba kung ayain ka sa travel ng friends mo?
Digital billboards featuring chat messages of a barkada’s road trip plans are trending on social media after netizens join in the fun and bring up their own plans.
The mysterious chat messages, showcased on billboards along EDSA, Mckinley Ave., and various other locations, depict the typical banter among friends as they organize their upcoming adventure. One individual, Rich, extends an invitation with "Come on, friends, let's hit the road!" eliciting excited replies like "Hey, let's go!" from Nanie, "Sounds thrilling! Where are we headed?" from Hugo, along with additional responses from Fred, Nammie, Mage, Margo, and Hero.
Netizen Mommy Inday Irish (@mommyindayirish) shared, “Parang ako nalang team bahay ah, sama kaya ako?”
Without any brands, labels, or specific people identified, the intriguing display has piqued the curiosity and sparked the imagination of commuters and passersby. Is it an invitation to embark on a trip to a yet unspecified location? Perhaps a heartfelt exchange between acquaintances?
In the meantime, others have commended the group's spontaneity, with Maine Javier (@mainemeng15) capturing an image of the billboard and expressing, "This is the kind of invitation I like!"
The billboard perfectly coincides with that time of the year well-suited for road trips: summer. As temperatures climb in the Metro area, Rich's conversation with the group has sparked the "Fear Of Missing Out" (FOMO) among netizens, who naturally find themselves fantasizing about their next beach outing or poolside getaway with friends.

Whether you know easygoing friends like Rich, Hero, Nanie, Fred, Nammie, Mage, Margo, or Hero in your life or not, the billboard stands as an important reminder of the value of friendships and spending time with our loved ones.
Despite the ubiquity of social media and digital communications, creating memorable moments during road trips, travel plans, and new experiences continues to be priceless.
