00:00What are the things that you do to provide for your family?
00:05The first thing I do is to rent an apartment in our house.
00:11How much do you rent an apartment?
00:13Now, it's expensive in Cavite.
00:15Before, our rent was only 6,000 pesos.
00:17When we moved, it was already 7,500 pesos.
00:19What else?
00:21Bills, medicine, water, everything.
00:24Bills?
00:25Yes, bills.
00:26Bills?
00:27Bills?
00:28Bills?
00:29Yes.
00:31Food?
00:33We don't have a refrigerator.
00:35That's why I'm the one who does the grocery shopping.
00:37I'm also the one who cooks.
00:39So it won't be wasted.
00:41Why don't you have a refrigerator?
00:43Because you can't afford to buy one?
00:45I have a question.
00:47Why don't you have a refrigerator?
00:49The answer is, we don't have anything to put in it.
00:51Others say, why don't you have a refrigerator?
00:53We can't afford to buy one.
00:55What's the reason why you don't have a refrigerator?
00:57What else?
00:59Everything.
01:01Internet, because she needs it for her online classes.
01:03Your mother's medicine?
01:05Yes. Water.
01:07For her tuition?
01:09There's a government voucher.
01:11That's a big help.
01:13For tuition and requirements.
01:15Yes, for tuition and requirements.
01:17Do you get tired?
01:19Yes.
01:21But they are my motivation every day.
01:23Because it's for the night.
01:25I'm sorry if I'm emotional.
01:27We understand.
01:29Because,
01:31my sisters,
01:33they are toxic.
01:35I'm sorry.
01:37I didn't spot them,
01:39but
01:41maybe I'm here to call out
01:43that we shouldn't be toxic
01:45to our younger siblings.
01:47Let's not rely on them.
01:49The responsibility that should be ours
01:51because we are the older ones.
01:53We are the stronger ones
01:55compared to our younger siblings.
01:57They have dreams that they can't fulfill
01:59because they are the ones who fulfilled them for us.
02:01What happened was,
02:03this is Felicity,
02:05this is Aniya, this is Mama.
02:07They live in their apartment,
02:09my eldest sister.
02:11They were evicted.
02:13All of their stuff
02:15were taken out.
02:17I was still training at work.
02:19I didn't know what to do
02:21because my salary was so low.
02:23So,
02:25I just took them out
02:27even though we were fighting
02:29like in the arena.
02:31Ana, you know it's important
02:33to take care of yourself.
02:35How do you
02:37take care of yourself
02:39even though you're already tired?
02:41I don't know.
02:43Maybe I just drink water.
02:45I'm not allowed to drink coffee.
02:47That's my struggle.
02:49I'm not allowed to drink coffee.
02:51And you're getting thin.
02:53Your duty is so hard.
02:55It's hard to answer that.
02:57With all of your obligations,
02:59and with all of your abilities,
03:01how do you take care of yourself?
03:03It's easy to say
03:05that you should take care of yourself.
03:07But I don't know
03:09how the breadwinners answer
03:11the question of how they take care of themselves.
03:13Because that's their ultimate
03:15sacrifice.
03:17That's their ultimate sacrifice.
03:19That's their ultimate sacrifice.
03:21That's why
03:23when you ask the breadwinners,
03:25they don't know.
03:27But that's the most important thing.
03:29They can't forget
03:31how they take care of themselves
03:33for the family.
03:35So, the family you're taking care of,
03:37you should take care
03:39of the one who's taking care of you.
03:41How do we take care of them?
03:43How do we talk to them?
03:45How do we take care of
03:47what they're doing to us?
03:49How do we make the breadwinners
03:51in our family happy?
03:53It's so tiring to go home.
03:55It's like going home,
03:57just to eat.
03:59That's what Felicity does.
04:01It's simple listening.
04:03It's not simple. It's a big thing
04:05for Ana Maria
04:07that Felicity listens to.
04:09Ana Maria.
04:11Ana Maria that Felicity listens to.
04:13Another breadwinner.
04:15That's a big thing.
04:17Giving them time
04:19is a big thing.
04:21But,
04:23it's not bad sometimes
04:25to say,
04:27I'll do it first.
04:29Even for a moment.
04:31It's not being selfish.
04:33It's being self-ful.
04:35It's not bad.
04:39I shared this one day.
04:41She was having a hard time
04:43in our lives.
04:45She was just hoping
04:47because she read in the Bible
04:49that the Lord will take care of the widows.
04:51So, you should also hope
04:53that the Lord will take care of the breadwinners.
04:55Right?
