Comedian Wacky Kiray couldn't help but give in to his emotions after pulling off an aerial silk dance routine with partner Arci Muñoz for Saturday's "I Can Do That."

Choking back tears, Kiray said he badly wanted to win this week for their mentor, Louie Lorenzo, a tricycle driver who does aerial silk dance performances on the side for nearly five years now.

"Parehas sila ng tatay ko tricycle driver lang din dati," shared Kiray. "Ayon lang pinatigil ko na tatay ko kasi nabulag iyong kabilang mata niya so hindi na niya kayang magtrabaho. Kaya naiisip ko iyong tatay ko [kapag nakikita ko siya]."

Prior to their performance, Kiray said he started to feel empathy for Lorenzo when he and Muñoz visited the beat-up covered court where Lorenzo usually trains at.

Pointing out that having a single make-shift cushion and that training outdoors aren't exactly ideal, Kiray asked Lorenzo why he continues to perform despite this.

Lorenzo answered that he does it to financially support his family, and that he needs the cash for his planned wedding with his girlfriend. "Sila rin iyong inspirasyon ko," he said.

Kiray and Muñoz then dedicated Saturday's performance to Lorenzo.
