00:00 It's not enough to give all the mothers a day to give their children a good time.
00:05 But let us share an inspiring story, three days before Mother's Day.
00:10 It's about a mother who is working harder than her family to finish her six children.
00:17 It's about Ian Cruz.
00:19 Strength of body and mind,
00:25 persistence in farming and other earnings.
00:30 That's what 67-year-old Malu Certeza is proud of in supporting her family.
00:35 Her six children have all finished their studies through farming.
00:41 When her husband lost his job, she farmed for five houses.
00:46 She also invested her other earnings.
00:49 The children are happy.
00:51 My eldest son, when he comes home from school, he will play with his banana and his canoti.
00:57 He has a job tomorrow.
00:59 My second son, my helper when he goes to the bathroom, he is a laundry man.
01:05 My husband is the one who carries the laundry and the laundry cleaner.
01:11 They say that they are happy with the food that their husband gives them.
01:15 Sometimes, they question why he made his children study a four-year course.
01:20 But Malu did it to get out of the cycle of poverty that her mother and other children are going through.
01:28 If it's just two years, they can work.
01:31 But if it's four years, I will have to work for two more years.
01:36 I want my children and grandchildren to have a good life.
01:40 Malu gradually got up from poverty, especially when her eldest son, Apol, finished his studies.
01:45 I promised him, "Mom, I will finish my studies and I will not walk anymore.
01:50 I will support you because I want to be an inspiration to my siblings."
01:56 Now, Malu is happy that she did not give up on her dreams and is now enjoying the fruits of her sacrifices.
02:05 This is the house I dream of.
02:08 I dream of a sidecar car.
02:11 That's all. You need to have high aspirations.
02:17 Work hard.
