And once Minette began caring for Michael Buble\u2019s grandfather, she instantly became a part of the Buble family. Her compassionate heart endeared her to both Demetrio and Michael.<\/p>\n<p>But what also impressed Michael was the way Minette selflessly cared for her own family, too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"F4bbrRni\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cMinette doesn\u2019t keep any of the money that she made,\u201d he explained to the Property Brothers. \u201cShe\u2019s got a lot of family in the Philippines and she takes that money and she sends it all back. She\u2019s really a special, beautiful woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, Michael Buble decided he wanted to use his appearance on the show,\u00a0<em>Celebrity IOU<\/em>, to fulfill his grandfather\u2019s last wish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandpa would be so happy,\u201d Michael said. \u201cThis was his dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Last Wish Leads To Wonderful Surprise<\/h2>\n<p>Demetrio built his Vancouver home in the 1970s and the house held a lot of treasured memories.

And during that time, she and Demetrio became very close.<\/p>\n<p>So, while Minette was away visiting family in the Philippines, Jonathan and Drew Scott helped Michael Buble transform the home so Michael could turn it over to his grandfather\u2019s faithful caretaker.<\/p>\n<p>When Minette returned, Michael Buble surprised her with the news and the big reveal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandfather, his greatest wish was not just that this house was kept in the family but that this would be your home because he loved you so much,\u201d he explained. \u201cThis is all for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Minette is not usually one to cry.
