Soho began by saying that she did not want to ask questions but would simply listen to Kuya Kim’s story. Acknowledging Soho’s empathy, Kuya Kim said it was okay. “I'd like to think that my daughter Emman did not die in vain,” Kuya Kim said.
He shared that they knew his 19-year-old daughter was ill, sharing she’s made a few attempts in the past before she passed away on October 22 in California, United States, where she was based.
The TV personality said he had been praying every day that it would not happen. “For Emman to be safe, for Emman to be happy, for Emman to heal, yet this happened,” he said.
Kuya Kim believes that nothing is accidental and “everything is planned by the Lord.”
“I know this is not in vain. Emman did not die in vain. May dahilan at ang dahilan ay maganda. That gives me peace,” he added.
