On August 14, Kapamilya host-actress Kim Chiu got emotional while interviewing the Mini Miss U Contestant from Laguna Rain Majain about her family and living situation inside a cemetery.
During the ‘It’s Showtime’ segment Mini Miss U, Chiu asked Rain whether she felt scared living inside a cemetery. The Mini Miss contestant answered, stating she doesn’t feel afraid as long as she is with her family.
“Alam ko rin Tyang, nakatira sila sa loob ng sementeryo. Hindi ka ba natatakot doon sa loob?” asked Chiu.
“Hindi po, kasi ang mahalaga kasama ko ‘yung mommy ko at daddy ko at kuya ko. Ayun lang po ang gusto ko. Pumunta doon sa bahay. Kaya okay na po ako kahit sementeryo bahay namin basta mahalaga kasama ko lang po ‘yung mga pamilya ko.” Rain responded.
Amy Perez-Castillo remarked how mature the Mini Miss U contestant was with her responses.
“Kita mo nga naman, tingin ko 50 years old ka na ba?”
Chiu observed that Rain seemed emotional while responding to her questions.
“Tsaka, Tiyang, naiiyak si Rain. Bakit ka naiiyak? Bakit sa murang edad mo ay nakaramdam ka ng ganyan?”
Rain replied, “Naaawa po ako sa mommy ko at sa daddy ko po. Ang bait po ni mommy at daddy sa akin. Saka po inaalagaan po nila akong mabuti.”
Perez-Castillo then inquired, “Ano ba ang trabaho ni mommy at saka ni daddy?”
Rain detailed her parents’ livelihood while living in a cemetery.
“Si mommy po, naglalaba. Yung daddy ko po, naghahalo ng semento.”
Rain said she is the youngest of five siblings, and she detailed how her older siblings help out with their parent’s livelihood.
At this point, Chiu was visibly holding back her emotions.
When the hosts’ asked the Mini Miss U contestant about her message to her parents, Rain said, “Mommy, I love you. Nag-aalaga kayo sa akin, I love you din at Daddy.”

Chiu replied, noting how touched she was with Rain’s maturity and care for her parents.
“Hindi ako nalulungkot, nata-touch lang ako sa kwento mo. Saka gusto ko yung pananaw mo sa buhay na 5 years old ka pa lang, alam mo na kung ano yung ginagawa ng mga magulang mo na nakakabuti para sa ‘yo. Dapat hanggang paglaki mo ganyan ha. Grateful lagi ha.”
Rain then won the crown as the Mini Miss U for the day.
