Sun Cellular brings love high in the clouds

MANILA, Philippines - Russel Macam, a registered nurse in Mabalacat, Pampanga, together with Julie Ann Edralin, a seasoned host at a famous leisure bar, just got engaged while aboard a hot air balloon last Feb. 12.

It was a sunny afternoon, the day before the proposal, when Russel went to Sun Cellular’s booth at the 17th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta held at the Omni Aviation Complex, Clark Airfield, Pampanga. Being in an almost 5-year relationship with Julie Ann, he decided to take it to the next level and planned a special marriage proposal on a hot air balloon ride. Russel bought a Sun Broadband Prepaid Kit for only P995 and became part of the first 20 subscribers entitled to a free hot air balloon ride, in partnership with Caltex. To make his plans even more special, he contrived with his relatives and the Sun Cellular team to make it a surprise.

One hot love: Russel welcomed his girlfriend Julie Ann with a bunch of fresh flowers to start their romantic hot air balloon ride.

The next day, he went to the event’s venue with Julie Ann. Little did Julie Ann know that this was going to be a life-changing moment for the both of them. While they were stepping aboard the hot air balloon, the Sun Cellular team was already putting in place the proposal banner on the other side of the field. Russel gave Julie Ann a bouquet of fresh flowers as they entered the hot air balloon. She thought it was just an ordinary romantic move from her long-time boyfriend. As they reached a high altitude, Julie Ann saw the huge “Will you marry me?” banner and was surprised to find her name written in bold letters. Right then, Russel asked Julie Ann if they could share a lifetime together. Teary-eyed, she replied with a resounding “Yes!” The couple hugged for a long time while savoring all the love in the air.

The wedding is set for October.
