“I heard you are getting married. May both of you live a blissful marriage with plenty of children,” he began.
Calling the influencer by her first name, Aynrand, Kier said he’s kept silent about their father-daughter relationship “because I am certain that both of us know the truth.”
In his letter, Kier revealed how difficult it was just to see his estranged daughter. “Bata ka pa lang, lagi na kitang hinahabol, you don’t know what I had to do just to see you. Until now, I’m still waiting for our meeting.”
The letter comes at the heels of Dani's YouTube video, where she said "my dad and I never really had a solid relationship.
"All I know is he's my dad and that's that," Dani continued.
Kier's letter is accompanied by a myriad of photos of the father and daughter, what Kier calls “memories that will forever be in my heart.”
Kier also wanted to make it clear to Dani: “I was the first man who ever loved you and that no matter what, you will always be my daughter.”

Dear Aynrand Danielle,
First things first, congratulations, I heard you are getting married. May both of you live a blissful marriage with plenty of children.
Aynrand, I don't really say much about our relationship because I am certain that both of us know the truth. I believe that no matter what you say now can never change the truth and the memories we had.
I'm here, I will always be here. Bata ka pa lang lagi na kitang hinahabol, you don't know what I had to do just to see you. Until now, I'm still waiting for our meeting.
Here are some pictures of us, memories that will forever be in my heart. I kept this glass flower I gave you a long time ago hoping that you will bloom as a good and truthful person.
I want you to know that I was the first man who ever loved you and that no matter what, you will always be my daughter. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Hindi importante ang opinyon ng iba. Para sa akin, kasama ang Legaspi family you will have a special place in our hearts.
I wish nothing but the best for you. May God bless you and everyone you love.
