This Filipino construction worker has gone viral on TikTok, find out what keeps him dancing


A Filipino construction worker has been entertaining millions of people with his hilarious and feel-good dance videos.

But did you know that this viral TikTok creator is actually a single father working night and day to support three children amid the COVID-19 pandemic?

In a live interview on "Unang Hirit," Dindo Cabiles said it's tough to work so far away from home, but he had to make sure two of his children finish high school.

And so, the father turned to making TikTok dance videos to pass the time.

"Nung panahon ko kasi, mahilig po ako sa sayaw. 'Pag makarinig ako ng tugtog, mapapaindak na ako," he said.

At the same time, Cabiles made tons of TikTok lovers — including his children — very happy.

"Natutuwa po kami tsaka sobrang proud kami kay papa kasi kami po yung nag-download ng TikTok niya!" his daughter Diane said.

After hearing his inspiring story, "Unang Hirit" surprised Cabiles with two brand new laptops to help with his children's online schooling amid the pandemic. — Margaret Claire Layug/LA, GMA News
