HOLOSTARS English -ARMIS- member Octavio received a birthday LED billboard at Glorietta mall in Makati, Philippines, last weekend. The 180-square-meter digital ad ran April 11-12 at the mall's Activity Center, one of the busiest spots in the central business district. A fan group called Octoposse Philippines organized the project. Separately, a fan gathering called Bloomfinity took place at Wiltlover Signature cafe in Gateway Mall, Araneta City, themed after Octavio's latest outfit from January 2025. Registered attendees received item sets and food. The cafe had a photo card decoration corner. Octavio also released a song cover of Kenshi Yonezu and Hikaru Utada's "JANE DOE" with NIJISANJI EN's Enna Alouette, plus an "Octalks" radio session where he revealed he once tried to join Enna's agency. An archived karaoke stream featured songs by both artists. Octavio acknowledged the billboard on Tuesday, joking about "39 feet of Octavio."
