[@lollettealipe9363]

Heartwarming story! Shawn has a beautiful heart to recognize the selfless love of Lily. We usually hear about the bad experiences of domestic helpers abroad. This story shines a light on the goodness of people’s hearts, both that of the OFWs and of the ones who treat them as members of their families.

[@244hayrick]

Another episode that warms my heart. Thank you CNA for this one. What makes me love this and the previous episode is it's broken my wrong notion about Singaporeans. I always thought that because of their economic stature, they are snobbish and condescending. Actually they know better and act better. They are wise enough to realise the indispensable role of their helpers to them and their economy. Great episodes.

[@TeacherEric173]

As a Filipino expatriate, I express my gratitude for your visit to your domestic worker from the Philippines, which alleviated her feelings of longing. Your gesture serves as a commendable example to the residents of Singapore who employ domestic help from abroad. May God bless you and your family for your kindness.

[@whitelotus5418]

You're so kind Shawn, I can see you have a big heart. You are naturally cute, be a vlogger already,Thank you for being Amazing!

[@arraghielle]

Seems like Singaporean employers and their children are more compassionate than Hong Kong people. The attachment they have with their helpers is obviously a kind that never break and fades away right after the helper go back home in the Philippines for good ❤

[@edhangad]

No, also HK people employers are also attached to their filipino helpers

[@Labrador-r483]

I like this show because it highlights some traits of Filipinos-- selflessness and community. In this era wherein people have become more and more individualistic, we are reminded how crucial and beneficial collectivism is for us to thrive and grow strong. That, similar to a bamboo plant, when people come together, we can hold on to each other and multiply our strength. So that come the storms, trials and tribulations, we only bend but still be able to stand back up as the storm clears. Keep safe and thank y'all.

"sometimes when my parents are still not home yet, when you see Auntie Lily sitting there it sort of gave me the assurance that there's still someone home" ... this is so true, when I was a kid, I just love to see my Lola at a corner, we don't chit chat much but the presence is already comforting enough

[@space5776]

This young man is well brought up to respect elders regardless if they are your helpers . Be kind to others & others will be kind to you. My mum has a lived in helper too. They fight like sisters & make up like best friends. Mum is 90 but she cares for the helper more than herself. Everyone out there who has a live in helper, pls remember she is also a human being with feelings & emotions. Be kind, spread love & learn not to let the material wealth around us makes us feel that we are better than those who has little. A lot of Singaporeans treat their helpers like a helper & talk to her like she js not worth much. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable.

Life Tip: Collect videos that showcase humanity at its best and add them to a special playlist. (Include this one) Imagine having hundreds of such videos that you can watch on repeat, turning it into a hobby to share with others until your perception of the world shifts to focus on the kindness and compassion of humanity. Of course practice humanity yourself everyday and influence others, that’s gonna be the best breed of influencers.
