The family experienced this frightening moment on their first day in Japan when, while dining at the Rainforest Café, Sarina got separated from them. </p><p>“Kanina may insidenteng nangyari. Unang araw pa lang, bigla tumakbo ng mabilis ito [Sarina]. Sa sobrang laki ng Rainforest Cafe, hinanap namin. Ayon pala, umakyat sa taas. Nakita ko nagsha-shopping na. May dala na siyang basket ng mga toys niya. Si Maia, halos maiyak-iyak na dahil hindi namin makita si Sarina,” Jhong shared.</p><p>In a post, they further recalled: “Her first time getting lost… and it wasn’t just a quick one. Mommy was already crying, we had reported it to the management, and everyone was looking for her. After 10 minutes, Daddy finally found her. She had managed to go up to the second floor on her own and was calmly chilling with a basket full of toys. She went shopping. By herself.”</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1014207054028957&amp;width=500&amp;show_text=false&amp;height=889&amp;appId" width="500" height="889" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>In a video they posted, Jhong found Sarina calmly holding a toy basket filled with toys she chose herself. The incident had the family in distress, with Maia nearly in tears and staff helping to search for their little girl.</p><p>“Hey, Sarina! We are looking for you,” Jhong said, approaching Sarina.</p><p>Sarina responded, “I’m just shopping.”</p><p>He calmly reminded her, “Mommy is looking for you. We thought you were still downstairs. Don’t do that again, okay? Don’t do that. You have to tell us. Don&#x27;t go away from us. That’s not nice. We are so worried.”</p><p>He then asked her to apologize: “Say sorry to Mommy, to Lolo and Tito. Say sorry cause you don&#x27;t paalam.”</p>
