The Unkabogable Star previously expressed his wish to meet Lian after encountering the child’s video online.
In his latest YouTube vlog titled, “Walang Bayad Na Bonding with Viral Kid, Lian, Vice finally got to meet Lian as he accompanied him, together with his family and It’s Showtime’s “Batang Cute-Po” kids, into a children’s amusement center for a day of fun and laughter.
Lian, whose video showing him delightedly getting a free face-painting session after expecting it to be paid stirred emotions across social media, opened up about his touching experience at the birthday party in a candid conversation with Vice.
“Ang daming naantig dun sa video niyo na yun, isa na ako dun. Nung nakita ko talaga yung video, naiyak ako. […] Parang nakakalungkot, ‘di ba? Parang naramdaman namin siya. Bakit ka ba pumila dun?”, the comedian asked.
“Kasi po madami pong pine-paint,” replied Lian, adding that he wanted to have his favorite superhero, Spider-man, painted on his face.
“Nilagay naman nila sa mukha mo ‘yung Spider-Man. Masaya ka talaga?” the host inquired further to which the child affirmed.
“Ano yung tinanong mo dun sa nung nakapila ka? Anong tinanong mo?”
“’May bayad po?'” Lian recalled.

Despite their financial constraints, the joy on Lian’s face was evident in the viral video upon receiving the free face painting.
“Masaya ka kasi mae-experience mo yung face paint. Pa’no kung sinabi sa ‘yong may bayad ‘yun? Anong sasabihin mo?”, Vice Ganda inquired further.
Lian’s response was heartbreaking: “Aalis na lang po kami.”
“Hindi mo na susubukan? ‘Di ka hihingi ng pera dun sa kasama mo, kay Lola o kay Mommy?”
“Hindi na po kasi po wala po kami pong pera,” the child answered.
