An odd video advertisement that promoted a new loan application prompted some conversations about the consequences of debts in the country., a digital finance application of the Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation, released the advertisement on social media on Monday. In the short video, one farmer asked his friend to borrow a carabao. His friend told him that he is still using the farm animal and rebuked him into buying a tricycle.
It was here when the video took a disturbing turn. A man suddenly emerged from behind the carabao’s body to the surprise of both the farmers and the viewers. Social media users initially praised the creativity and the odd nature of the advertisement for a financial service.
