A TikTok video of a baby’s genuine reaction to her father’s arrival after work recently went viral on social media as netizens were touched on the special moment.
“Feeling ko yung tatay laging uwing-uwi din. ganito ba naman salubong sayo. ♥️♥️” a netizen commented.
“The quick change of mood after makita c daddy. pls daddy don’t change 🥺 mommy did a great job. core memories 💚” another said.
As of this writing, the video has already garnered more than 4.1 million views.
“Naging routine na nga po kaya parang alam na niya ‘pag pumunta na kami sa kanto, parating ‘yung daddy niya. Pagtigil pa lang ng jeep nakatingin na siya kung sino ‘yung bababa,” Mommy Clavel told The Philippine STAR.
For Daddy Eigie, his daughter’s reaction and smile makes everything easier for him as he continues to provide for their family.
“Sobra pong nakakawala po talaga ng pagod. Syempre bilang tatay po, nakikita ko ‘yung baby ko na masaya kapag nakikita ako kapag uuwi. Isa pa, nandyan din ‘yung misis ko, parehas sila inaabangan nila ako. Nakakawala ng pagod tsaka ng stress k sa trabaho,” he shared.
Daddy Eigie currently works for a BPO company. During the pandemic, they used to stay at home all together, that is why they try to adjust to his new schedule and line of work.
Mommy Clavel said she just wanted to record the moment but was surprised by Baby Hiyori’s reaction every time she would see her father arriving from work.
“Gusto ko ulit-ulitin kasi nakakatuwa din talaga eh. Nakakahawa nga daw po ‘yung smile niya do’n. Unexpected talaga ‘yun. Masarap sa pakiramdam ng daddy niya na ganun sila. Nakikita mo na masaya sila. Simpleng gestures lang. Sana huwag sila magbago,” she said.
According to the couple, Baby Hiyori is an answered prayer for them since Mommy Clavel was diagnosed with PCOS in 2019.
“Mula nung nalaman niyang may PCOS ako syempre natakot din po siya na baka hindi nga kami magka-baby. Bale miracle baby din siya kasi po six years na kami in a relationship tapos three years na kaming nagta-try magka-baby. Nung nalaman ko na pregnant ako, alam ko na sobrang matutuwa siya,” she noted.
Since Daddy Eigie grew up in a broken family, he promised to be the best father to his baby and partner to Mommy Clavel.
Stressing, “Ayoko maranasan ng anak ko na naghahanap ng magulang. Gagawin ko ‘yung best ko. Kung ano ‘yung kaya ko ibigay sa anak ko, ibibigay ko pati sa misis ko, sa mama ng baby ko. Tanggal angas talaga, ‘matik ‘yon, Kung boss ka sa labas, may boss sa loob ng bahay.”
Daddy Eigie and Mommy Clavel are now engaged and currently planning for their wedding.
They look forward to spending their lives together and guiding Baby Hiyori as she grows up.
“Sana huwag magbago ‘yung pagmamahal niya sa akin bilang ama niya, tsaka sana maging mabait na bata siya, tapos sumunod siya sa mama niya,” Daddy Eigie said.
