Kapamilya Actor-TV Host Jong Hilario and Partner Maya Azo Race Panic After Their Daughter Serina Went Missing in Japan

Kapamilya actor and TV host Jong Hilario and his partner Maya Azo Race were overwhelmed with fear after their daughter, Serina, went missing during their trip to Japan. Serina Hilario, known as a cheerful and lively child and one of the youngest vloggers today, is adored by many.

In the latest vlog of the It’s Showtime host, he documented their vacation in Japan, which was meant to celebrate Maya’s birthday and visit her sibling. However, their trip took a dramatic turn on the very first day.

According to Jong, an incident happened at the Rainforest Cafe, where they lost sight of Serina. “On the first day, Serina suddenly ran off really fast. The Rainforest Cafe was huge, so we all looked for her, even the staff,” Jong recounted.

They spent several tense minutes searching, and the situation was reported to the café’s management. Maya was already on the verge of tears, fearing for their daughter’s safety. Fortunately, Jong found Serina happily shopping for toys upstairs.

“I saw her already shopping, carrying a basket full of toys,” Jong shared.

In a video posted on Serina’s Instagram, Jong can be heard saying, “Serina, we’re looking for you!” to which the little girl smiled and replied, “I’m just shopping,” while holding a small basket filled with stuffed toys and playthings.

“Mommy is looking for you. We thought you were still downstairs,” Jong told her, to which he firmly added, “Don’t do that again, okay? Don’t do that. You have to tell us. Don’t go away from us. That’s not nice. We were so worried. Don’t do it again.”

In the end, Jong gently told Serina to apologize to her mommy, grandfather, and uncle, all of whom were extremely worried during the incident on their Japan trip.
