I Flew To Philippines To Surprise My Former Helper Of 15 Years | On The Red Dot | Finding Auntie

Подробнее о видео

30-year-old Shawn Tok spent 15 years with Auntie Lili, the Filipino helper who became like the big sister he never had. Over the years, she would go back to the Philippines for a while, then return to work with his family. Shawn always believed she'd come back each time she left.

The duo has not yet met each other since Auntie Lili last left Singapore in 2021 to return home and take care of her mum, who had dementia. Shawn’s family celebrated her birthday every year when she was in Singapore, so now he’s planning a surprise journey to visit her for her birthday. To make it unforgettable, a crew approaches Auntie Lili, inviting her to join a documentary without revealing that Shawn will be there. An unforgettable reunion is in the works.
