A compilation video of a father from Southern Leyte recently went viral on social media after netizens were touched on his sweet safety hand gesture to his daughter whenever she’s driving.
Daddy Felix Ledesma said that he saw the same specific hand gesture in a video he watched on social media.
“May nakita lang ako na paatras tapos masikip ‘yung sa likod, ‘yung nag-sensyas ganito lang. Parang dahan-dahan lang ba kung dikit ka, mabundol ka sa likod. Bawat alis niya, senyas ko ng ganun,” Daddy Felix told The Philippine STAR.
“Bahala na ma-late basta makarating siya nang safe. Basta magdahan-dahan lang,” he added.
Sybill is an only child that is why her parents are overprotective of her.
She currently works as a teacher at the Southern Leyte State University, Tomas Oppus Campus.
“I’m a baby at 28 [years old] po eh. No’ng wala pa kaming sasakyan, hinahatid-sundo niya ako gamit ‘yung motor. Ngayon na marunong na ‘kong magmaneho, lagi niyang binubuksan ‘yung garahe para ready na po ‘yung sasakyan. Minsan pa nga kahit nagtu-toothbrush pa ‘ko nandun na si Tatay sa labas naka-abang na eh,” Sybill shared.
“Si Tatay po kasi napaka maalaga, very caring po. Sa bahay po namin, siya po ‘yung nagluluto, naghuhugas, naglalaba. Ginigising niya kami nang maaga. Minsan pa nga pinapagalitan kasi late magising. ‘Pag feel niya male-late na, minamadali na niya ako Takot kasi po siya na baka magmaneho nang mabilis,” she added.
She added that she’s been capturing Daddy Felix’s sweet gesture for two years now.
“‘Yung garahe namin masikip, ma’am. Hindi ko alam na bawat alis niya, dating, naka-video pala siya, hindi ko makita na palagi siyang naka-video. Tagal na ‘yun eh,” Daddy Felix said
Sybill revealed that she is totally a daddy’s girl. “Marami naman pong nagsasabing daddy’s girl kaya nga po sabi nila, ‘Naku, lagot ka ‘pag mag-aasawa ka na, iiyak ka nang todo kasi mami-miss mo ‘yung tatay mo,’ sabi nila.”
As of this writing, the uploaded video on TikTok has already garnered more than 280,000 views.
“Will always be tatay’s little girl driver ?❤️ keep him healthy and safe, Lord ?” Sybill captioned the video.
“The best talaga mga tatay, di lang masyado halata kasi di sila ganun masalita, pero sa gawa nila mararamdaman mo,” a netizen commented.
“Relate to this whenever paalis ako ng bahay at maabutan ko siya sa labas pag magpapark,” another echoed.
Sybill stressed that she is very thankful to have protective and loving parents.
“Twenty-eight years old na ko. Hindi ako nagagalit na parang bine-baby ako eh. Kahit nga umaalis ako, humihingi po ako ng permiso. Mga 10PM umuuwi na po ‘ko kasi ayokong mag-alala si tatay at si nanay,” said Sybill.
“Lagi po nating tandaan na ‘yung mga magulang natin hindi po natin mga kaaway ‘yan, kakampi po natin sila.Mas masarap po ‘yung buhay ‘pag okay po ‘yung relasyon natin sa ating mga magulang. Lagi nating i-treasure ang oras na kasama natin ang isa’t-isa kasi minsan lang po tayong mabuhay sa mundo,” she added when asked about her message to the public.
