Cuban resident abroad seeks a daughter in Cuba whom he hasn't seen since 1986.

A man originally from Santiago de Cuba, who currently lives outside the country, asked for help on social media to find a possible daughter who is believed to live in Pinar del Río.

User Ide Valera made an emotional appeal through the Facebook group Ventas Pinar del Río to find the daughter of the man. He did not provide any information about the Santiago resident, nor did he confirm which country he currently resides in; he only shared a current photo of him.

"He was in Pinar del Río in 1986-1987, when the 19 de noviembre Multipurpose Hall was built. He was a military pilot and had a relationship with a girl who was studying at the 'Comandante Manuel Fajardo' Provincial School of Physical Education (EPEF), pursuing a degree in Physical Education," Valera explained.

He indicated that the person from Santiago "doesn't remember" the name of that woman, who is allegedly the mother of his daughter.

"Just remember that she told him she was from Las Palmas (Pinar del Río), that she got pregnant and went with her dad to the shelter where he and the other workers stayed. Then he had to go to Santiago de Cuba due to family issues and lost contact with her."

This Cuban resident abroad wants to meet his daughter and stay in touch with her. Valera offered his Facebook account and a contact phone number (5957-2362) for anyone who may have information about this enigmatic case, of which there are few details.

The publication has generated various reactions, with messages of support and criticism towards the Cuban father. Some question his intentions, pointing out that too much time has passed for him to be seeking his daughter now.

"36 years have passed and now he wants to know about his daughter?" commented one person, while other users expressed their discontent with phrases like "When he lived in Cuba, he wasn't interested, and now, with so many kilometers of separation, he wants to meet her. What a great example of a father."

However, there are also messages of understanding, such as that of an internet user who expressed: "I think he is being sincere and wants to find the fruit of a love. Maybe they were both very young. Now he wants to acknowledge his daughter. It doesn't matter how many years have passed, it's fair. It's never too late to correct."

Valera hopes that his appeal will raise awareness among those who may have relevant information and that they will show solidarity with the search, ultimately allowing him to reunite father and daughter.
