MANILA—It was a bold stunt meant to send a message about diversity.

And judging by the response Jevh Maravilla and Christian Toledo are getting worldwide, a lot of people seem to be lovin' it.

The two Filipino-American friends hung an advertising portrait of themselves at a fast-food joint in Houston, because they felt the posters there lacked diversity.

"I look up and I see a blank wall and I tell Christian, 'Hey, what if we put up a picture of us on there? Look around, there are literally no Asians in any of these walls. Maybe we can change that,' " Maravilla said in a video he and his friends uploaded on YouTube, explaining how they went about accomplishing the daring feat.

(The entire video of how they carried out their plan can be seen here.)

In the video, the friends showed how they pulled off the stunt. One of them even dressed up as a store employee instructing his pals to put up the poster, which hasn't been removed since July 13.

"I really hope they'll never take it down. Remember folks, all races deserve recognition and I guess I did my part," Maravilla said.

The tweet promoting their no-takedown streak has garnered more than 950,000 likes and 240,000 retweets as of posting.

The video documenting their stunt has also became viral with more than 600,000 views.

In an interview with Click2Houston website, Maravilla said he and his friends were inspired by "Crazy Rich Asians."

"That boosted my confidence into thinking maybe one day I could be just like that, and if I take a step and do something small like this, it could make a difference,” Maravilla said. — With reports from Gillan Ropera and Don Tagala, ABS-CBN News​
