“Sagad na effort na namin ‘yan, guys,” Olivares added.

“POV: Puro kayo lalaki sa department na magki-Christmas party,” he said in the video with a grinning-squinting face emoji.

The setup included a few dishes on a table, a large soft drink bottle, an icebox, and a handful of gifts, one of which was only half-wrapped, prompting even more laughter from viewers.

“Wala ng set-up, purong inuman lang, sagad na effort na ‘yan,” Olivares responded with a grinning-squinting face emoji.

“‘Yung balot,” another user wrote with loudly crying emojis, referring to the partially-wrapped gift on the table.

“HAHAHAHA pinagsipan mabuti ‘yung regalo, tutal, mag-iinuman, baka mabitin. Alak na lang iregalo,” Olivares responded with an emoji.

“Ganto sa branch ko dati. Mga kasama ko, puro tito levels na. ‘Yung ibang branch, may theme theme pa. Kami, ayun, inum lang sila,” another TikTok user wrote.

“Grabe po sa tito levels, pero parang ganun na nga, HAHAHA,” Olivares replied.
