This is the amusing moment a father went to hide inside a big bucket of water and covered himself with a basin to hide from the money lender.

In the video, father Lito Cruz, 57 is seen frantically looking for a spot to hide after one of his daughters told him that the money lender is coming to their house.

As it turns out, her daughter Olai Cruz had just pranked the clueless father because she knows that he will have the panicked reaction.

She said: "I set up the camera before he went to sit on the balcony. I also made sure that every door is closed so that my father will have no way to escape."

Olai added that he owed a money from a friend, but because of the pandemic, his father cannot pay him yet.

She said: "He is one of the workers put on 'no work no pay' status. He was angry at me at first but in the end he was laughing."
