In a moving New Year's Eve post, Kuya Kim thanked the public for being their pillar of strength during a year that tested the faith, resolve and love of the Atienza family.
He admitted that the arrival of 2026 felt different for his family: “This new year's eve strikes different.”
This marks the first New Year for the Atienzas following the tragic passing of his youngest daughter, Emmanuelle "Emman" Atienza, in October 2025.
Despite the somber tone, the TiktoClock host expressed deep appreciation for the support his family received during their most difficult year.
“Thank you for being with us this year. We appreciate you all with all our heart," he wrote.
In a separate post, Kuya Kim's wife, Felicia, shared a throwback photo from a previous New Year celebration, capturing a cherished moment when Emman was still with them.
Felicia also welcomed the New Year with a bit of hope and optimism, as she surrendered her family to the grace of the Divine: “Welcome 2026. May we all be held in His grace.”
