This is the hilarious moment a protective father intimidates his daughter's suitor at her debut party.
Jerico Lantin, the father of the debutante, sits in front close to his daughter Karla Lantin on her 18th birthday when Karla's suitor is about to give a speech in Manila, the Philippines.
Footage shows the suitor, Marcus, reading a letter for the birthday celebrant while Jerico watches and listens closely. He moves even closer when the boy is about to finish the speech.
After the speech, Marcus grabs the hand of the father and proceeds to pay respect by taking the dad's hand and bringing it to his forehead.
When Marcus sits beside Karla to take a picture, the father signals the boy to move further away from his daughter, causing the crowd to laugh.
Patricia Lantin said: 'She is my youngest sister, and my dad has known Marcus for quite some time.
'Marcus visited our home and asked if he could take my sister on a date, as it was his birthday at that time. He even brought flowers. Such a sweet and nice guy!
'During her debut, Marcus wasn't part of the 18 dances, but he featured in the 18 gifts. It was during this moment when he read the message for my sister.
'My dad, known for his playful nature, decided to step forward, adopting the role of a strict dad to playfully intimidate his daughter's suitor.
'To everyone's surprise, Marcus remained unfazed and even faced my dad while reading his message, concluding with an 'I love you so much' at the end.
'He then blessed my dad before taking a seat beside my sister for a photo op. It amused everyone that my dad was pretending to be strict at that time.'
