Ate V has been Dimples and husband Boyet Ahmee's house help for over 17 years

Actress Dimples Romana recently gifted “Ate V” – their house helper of over two decades – with a brand new house. The actress and her husband, Boyet Ahmee, documented their surprise – and house tour – in a video posted on Dimples’ Instagram page.

Dimples and Boyet said the house – a two-bedroom home – was their way to thank Ate V, who had been working for their family for 17 years. Dimples, who has been in showbiz since her teens, said Ate V – short for Vilma – stuck with their family even when finances were tough. The actress sheepishly admitted that at one point, they were unable to give Vilma her salary for several months because funds were tight.

The couple had brought Vilma along in the guise of wanting to get her approval before buying the house, which they said they’d rent out. Dimples joked that they bribed Vilma with cash to coax her out of their home.

The “big reveal” – that the house is actually their gift to Vilma – happened at the second floor, in what seemed to be the house’s main bedroom. Balloons spelled out the phrase “Oo para sa ‘yo ito” (Yes, this is yours) – with a standee of Vilma to boot.

Dimples has been in showbiz since the late 90s, rising to fame as a cast member of Tabing Ilog. She became an internet sensation after a scene from the 2019 afternoon soap Kadenang Ginto – wherein she played Daniella Mondragon-Bartolome – went viral. – Rappler.com
