Mendoza that she was standing when she heard this couple (husband and pregnant wife) debating over something. As the discussions are getting louder, she took her earphones off, and heard the big announcement: This woman is about to give birth!

Veron said that the heartwarming feeling in this particular situation was the millennial version of Bayanihan.
