Tears flowed as Dimples Romana and her husband Boyet Ahmee surprised their housekeeper with her own house.
The couple surprised their housemaid, or "Ate V," as she is fondly called, by bringing her on a tour of their newly bought property.
In the middle of the tour, it was revealed that the house is a surprise for their housekeeper, who has worked for them for more than 17 years.
The Kadenang Ginto actress had the surprise documented and posted the video on her YouTube channel on Friday, October 16.
"Sa buhay natin, meron tayong mga kapamilya na maaring hindi natin kadugo na inaalagaan tayo, may malasakit sa atin, minamahal tayo ng higit pa sa mga pamilya nila," said Dimples. "Si Ate V namin is one of our biggest blessings in life. Itinuring na niya kaming pamilya at pamilya na din namin siya. Kasama namin siya sa kalungkutan, kaguluhan, sa pagpupursigi at sa tagumpay. She has been with us for 17 years, opo, kasing haba na din ng taon ng pag-aasawa namin ni Papa Boyet at ng pamilya namin. Kasama na namin siya nung nagsisimula pa lang kami. Puro dasal at pangarap pa lang kami nun. Nagsisimula pa lang mag-ipon."

"May mga buwan na late namin siyang nababayaran ng sweldo dahil abot abot ang mga gastusin namin. I would always ask her and tell her puwede na niya kaming iwan dahil nahihirapan na kami to give her her salary, and yet through thick and thin, hirap at ginhawa, sa meron at wala, hindi nya kami iniwan. Hindi namin maabot ang mga pangarap namin, kung walang 'Ate V' kaming kaagapay sa araw araw na pamumuhay," she added.

"Ilang taon ko na din [pinag-ipunan] ito para sa iyo. ... Sa gabay at awa ng Diyos, sa daming dasal, dumating na ang panahon na pinapangarap ko lang na dumating," she wrote.
"Maibabalik na namin sayo ate V ang maraming taon ng serbisyo mo sa amin na para bang mga kapatid mo na kami. Mahal na mahal ka namin. Sana nagustuhan mo," she said.
