This eight-year-old kid has been staying with his parents in UAE for two years.
One day, his parents, both overseas Filipino workers, decided to prank him for his birthday.
Thirdy, who’s been staying in UAE as a tourist to be with his parents, became emotional when his mother told him that she booked him a flight going back to the Philippines.
“So nung surprise day kunwari po badtrip mom niya at binilan na siya ticket pauwi ng PH. As seen sa video na nag iimpake siya at iyak na iyak kasi ayaw niya po talaga umuwi ng Pinas,” aunt Maegan Pinaroc Manaois told the Philippine STAR.
He kept on crying as he could not believe that he would go back home unexpectedly.
But when he started removing the clothes inside the luggage, he saw a big box!
Thirdy’s mood immediately shifted after realizing it was his dream gaming console!
“Kahit before pa po nung birthday niya, talagang nag aask na siya if pwede ba ‘yun ‘yung gift niya pero binibiro biro na siya na hindi pwede kasi pricey. So nung surprise day kunwari po badtrip mom niya at binilan na siya ticket pauwi ng Philippines. Nag iimpake siya at iyak na iyak kasi ayaw niya po talaga umuwi ng Pinas,” Maegan recalled.
Maegan said that Thirdy could not believe that his parents granted his birthday wish.
Maegan described her nephew as a sociable and extrovert kid. “Kahit first time niyo mag meet sobra na kayo magiging close. Super sweet din niya, napaka malambing na bata at sobrang talino.”
Thirdy celebrated his 8th birthday last March 27, 2022.
The video brought good vibes to the online community! It has already garnered more than 490,000 views on social media, as of writing.
“‘Yung pinaiyak ka muna bago ka nisurprise!” a netizen commented.
“You’re so precious bebe boy! Sarap mang-surprise ng ganito!” another netizen commented.
Maegan said she decided to share the video on social media to give updates to their relatives staying in the Philippines.
“Gusto ko lang I-share ‘yung naging reaction nya sa friends and family namin most especially nasa malayo kami and sa nga nakaka-miss kay Thirdy. Sobrang priceless at genuine kasi nung naging reaction niya kaya ang sarap ibahagi sa iba,” she explained.
“Nag end ‘yung video kasi gusto na niya i-try ‘yung switch, di parin siya makapaniwala akala niya nananaginip daw siya. Sobrang priceless at genuine kasi nung naging reaction nya kaya ang sarap ibahagi sa iba,” Maegan added.
