Argus Sends a Heartfelt Message to His Father Before He Goes Back Abroad

The bond between Argus and his father once again became the highlight of a touching moment on It’s Showtime. During an emotional segment, the young Mini Miss U contestant delivered a tear-jerking message to his father, who was set to return to work abroad.

As part of the show’s tradition of celebrating family, the hosts gave Argus the opportunity to express his feelings toward his father before their temporary separation. With tears welling up in his eyes and a trembling voice, Argus began his heartfelt message:

“Daddy, alam ko po na kailangan niyong magtrabaho sa ibang bansa para sa amin. Pero gusto ko pong sabihin na sobrang proud ako sa inyo, at mahal na mahal ko po kayo. Lagi po kayong mag-iingat, ha? Kahit malayo kayo, nandito po ako, si Mommy, at ang buong pamilya para maghintay sa inyo. Sana po huwag kayong mag-alala kasi magpapakabait po ako at susundin ko lahat ng bilin niyo.”
(“Daddy, I know you need to work abroad for us. But I want to say that I’m so proud of you, and I love you very much. Please always take care, okay? Even though you’re far away, I, Mommy, and the whole family are here waiting for you. Don’t worry about me because I’ll be a good boy and follow all your advice.”)

The studio fell silent as Argus poured his emotions into his message. Even Vice Ganda and the other hosts, known for their playful banter, were visibly moved. Vice, wiping away tears, gently said, “Napakabait mong bata, Argus. Ang swerte ng Daddy mo sa’yo. At alam ko, sobrang proud din siya sa’yo.” (You’re such a good child, Argus. Your dad is so lucky to have you. And I know he’s very proud of you.)

The moment became even more emotional when the father, who was in the audience, was given the chance to hug his son on stage before leaving. He embraced Argus tightly and whispered, “Anak, ikaw ang lakas ko. Gagawin ko ang lahat para sa inyo. Magpakabait ka lagi, ha?” (Son, you are my strength. I’ll do everything for you. Always be good, okay?)

The father and son’s embrace drew tears from the audience, who couldn’t help but feel the deep love between them. Fans and viewers quickly took to social media to express their emotions about the scene.

One viewer commented, “Argus is such an incredible child. You can feel his love for his dad in every word he said. It’s moments like this that remind us of the sacrifices OFWs make for their families.” Another wrote, “This is why I love watching It’s Showtime. It’s not just entertainment; it’s full of heart and stories that touch your soul.”

Argus’s message to his father was a reminder of the sacrifices that many overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) make for their families. It highlighted the bittersweet reality of being physically apart yet emotionally connected through unconditional love.

As the segment wrapped up, Vice Ganda offered one last piece of advice to Argus, saying, “Lagi mong ipakita sa Daddy mo na sulit lahat ng ginagawa niya. At huwag kang malungkot masyado, kasi kahit malayo siya, ramdam niya ang pagmamahal mo.” (Always show your dad that everything he’s doing is worth it. And don’t be too sad, because even if he’s far away, he feels your love.)

Argus walked off the stage with a smile, holding onto his father’s words of encouragement and the promise of their reunion in the future. It was a moment of love, hope, and resilience that left a lasting impression on everyone who watched.
