Kim Atienza had this simple message, but it had a great impact
Kapuso veteran TV host Kim Atienza captured the hearts of many netizens because of his message to someone who was on the verge of giving up.
Kim’s personal life became a relevant topic in showbiz and on social media last year. It was because of the unexpected death of his younger daughter, Emman Atienza, who had been very vocal about her mental health condition.
Emman was known as a vibrant social media personality. She would share her funny videos online, her bonding with her friends and family, as well as her personal endeavors.
However, just like many social media personalities, Emman also received bashing. At times, she would address issues against her and would advocate for mental health awareness.
Last October 2025, the online community was shocked when news about Emman Atienza’s death circulated. Eventually, Kuya Kim Atienza and his family confirmed the sad news. The veteran TV host celebrated the life of his younger daughter with heartwarming posts about her.
In interviews, even though he was crying and grieving, Kuya Kim loved the fact that Emman became his daughter and expressed the love that he has for her.
Just recently, Kuya Kim captured the hearts of netizens because of his response to a netizen’s emotional post. “Mama, Papa, hindi ko na po kaya. Sorry po,” a netizen wrote.
The veteran TV host invited the netizen to his Kapuso morning variety show with the expectation that they would see each other. “Watch Tiktoclock live next week as my guest? I’ll wait for you ok?” Kuya Kim said.
This was shared on Reddit, and netizens could not help but be touched by how the veteran host cared for someone who was probably going through the same issues that his late daughter had. Here are some comments from netizens to Kuya Kim Atienza’s response.
