The video begins with the couple noticing a shallow stream of rainwater cutting across the walkway.

“O, unsaon man na nimo?” Paul Jake asks.
(“So, how are you going to cross that?”)

“Lawm kaayo. Unsaon nalang?” Kaye replies, noting how deep the water looked.
(“It’s too deep. What am I supposed to do?”)

Without much hesitation, Paul Jake offers a solution.

“Kapyot, kapyot, kapyot, kapyot. Dali, dali, kapyot. Agay, y*wa!” he says as Kaye jumps onto his back, both of them laughing.
(“Hold on, hold on, hold on! Hurry, hold on! Oh my gosh!”)

At one point, the former Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up housemate jokingly complains while continuing to carry his wife.

“Kaduha na ni para sa tsinelas. Paita sa bagyo,” he says.
(“This is the second time I’ve had to do this because of the slippers. This storm is such a hassle.”)

Paul Jake captioned the post with a humorous remark about choosing hardship rather than letting Kaye’s footwear get wet, placing the hashtag "#husbandduties" by the end of it.

“Bahala na ma hirapan sa kalisod. Basta ang slippers hindi mabasa.”
(“It’s okay if I struggle, as long as the slippers don’t get wet.”)

Even though the couple confirmed they are back in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu as of writing, the reel was uploaded hours before the couple shared photos from their trip to Singapore.

This led some followers to speculate that the moment may have happened during their travels, especially as the city-state has recently been experiencing scattered thunderstorms.
