A heart-warming video of a five-year-old girl guiding her blind father to work has gone viral.

Mr Pepe is paid about 300 pesos (AU$9) a day for climbing up to 60 coconut trees on the farm.

The video was captured by Rhuby Capunes and uploaded to her Facebook page on June 10. It has since had over 2 million views.

The footage shows Jenny holding one end of a long stick as her father holds the other. She uses the stick as a guide, walking barefoot through the farm in a dress. The pair stop for a break and Jenny hands her father a drink of water before he starts work.

After the video gained international attention the ABS-CBN Foundation visited Mr Pepe and Jenny in the Philippines.

Thanks to the help provided by the foundation and the television program, Pepe and his whole family will live in a more secure environment and will receive means to deal with the father’s illness, as medical treatment and training to be able to function alone.
