The heartwarming video of an OFW dad surprising his beloved son during a moving-up ceremony.
Recently, Ali Caz, a Facebook user, shared a heartwarming video of an Overseas Filipino Worker father surprising his son during a moving-up ceremony. The video went viral online and garnered various reactions from the netizens.
In the video, the student initially expected his mother to accompany him on stage. But as he turned around, he was shocked to see his father instead. The boy immediately burst into tears, unable to hide his emotions as he hugged his dad tightly in front of the crowd.
The father, who has been working in Saudi Arabia as a driver for the past three years, returned to the Philippines without telling his son. He wanted to be present for his son’s Grade 10 moving-up ceremony.
According to Ali, the father and son are very close, which made the surprise even more meaningful.
Many netizens commented that they could relate to the video, especially those who have parents working abroad. Some shared how they also grew up without seeing their OFW parents for long periods.
Others said they cried just watching the video, even if they didn’t personally know the family.
The video reminds us of the sacrifices OFW parents make for their children. Despite the distance and years apart, love always finds a way to be felt and sometimes, to show up on stage when you least expect it.
As of this writing, the touching video has already gained millions of views and continues to inspire many people online.
