I Flew To Philippines To Surprise My Former Helper After 26 Years! | On The Red Dot - Finding Auntie

From idle watching of birds in the sky to being comforted with a few more precious minutes in the playground, Johnathan ‪@JohnathanChuaa‬ has always associated those fondest years growing up with Auntie Zen, his childhood domestic helper. Those years were unfortunately short-lived due to a family crisis that forced Auntie Zen to return home when Johnathan was 7 years old.

26 years later, Johnathan and his sister, Nikki decide to relive those memories by paying Auntie Zen a surprise visit in her hometown - Guinobatan, Philippines to catch up on those lost years and thank her for the impact she has made in their lives that still lives on till this day.
