00:00So your eldest son was born early, so he has a family?
00:04He was born on the 2nd of December.
00:07Where is he now?
00:09He's also at home.
00:10He's working?
00:12Yes, for his two children.
00:14At least he's able to provide for his children.
00:17Yes.
00:18Okay.
00:20How old is your youngest son in your family?
00:23Six years old.
00:24He's still young.
00:26Did your mother tie you up?
00:29No, because if he's six years old, he's the last one to get pregnant.
00:33He's still young. He's 55.
00:35When will we realize that life is really hard?
00:38And they're already 12.
00:39Maybe he's 51.
00:42It's hard, right?
00:44Life is hard.
00:46So, for you to be able to provide for yourself, that's also hard.
00:51Because the salary won't increase compared to the average worker.
00:56But if you have a wife, that's a share.
00:58You'll have more children.
00:59Especially if you have a lot of children.
01:03Right?
01:05Why is it a lot?
01:09So, I don't want to hurt your feelings,
01:13but I really hope that the parents will realize that life is really hard.
01:17So if you're having a hard time, don't add more children.
01:22It's not just for you, it's for the children who are having a hard time.
01:28Are 12-year-olds still popular these days?
01:32Because they're six years old.
01:34Sadly, in the Philippines, there are so many.
01:38If you just go out of your homes,
01:41you'll see the real situation.
01:46It's common in the Philippines.
01:48You'll say,
01:49why are there so many stories like this in the Philippines?
01:54It's a sad reality.
01:56We really need to study,
01:58we really need to plan,
02:00and we really need to provide a solution.
02:03And we really need to help each other
02:05so that we can overcome this pandemic in the Philippines.
02:12Because, like her, it's sad, right?
