We had a personal chat with the accommodating, kind and excited Mr. Elayan Allafi. ArabNews run a story of a Filipino looking for his Saudi father.
Now, a Saudi man residing in the capital city of Riyadh has contacted the Filipino who has been searching for his father for 15 years and told him that he was ready for a DNA tests to confirm that he is indeed his son.
Elayan Allafi, married and with 2 kids did everything to find his roots, and set-up Instagram and Facebook account to trace his real father.
Allafi said: “Thanks to Allah, I am so happy the man is willing to recognize me but wants to be sure that everything goes through the legal process. He expressed his willingness to undergo DNA test.”
According to Allafi, his mother met the Saudi man in Manila in 1983-84 through a Filipino friend who was a business partner.
“I retained my name in my passport in the hope to see him one day, although it is something unfamiliar in the Filipino community to have such a name. However, everybody knows me there as “Arabia son”.
“I am confident about meeting my father, so that I can visit the Two Holy Mosques with my wife to perform Umrah".
“Once he recognizes me, I will perform Haj immediately,” he said.
Son and daughter of Elayan and his wife, who will soon find out who their real grandpa is.
Elayan said that his effort paid of, and he is very happy to see his father and hear his voice. He said he has peace of mind.
He is looking forward for the DNA test anywhere, hopefully soon. It takes extra effort and sacrifices to finally find the truth. There's a saying that says, in order for you to arrive to wherever you want to go, you have to discover where you came from. Thats what exactly Elayan did, through the help of social media, and ArabNews, soon he will be able to find out his roots. His real father.
