"LESSON #1: HUWAG MAGING SPOILED
“Minsan kasi nagiging spoiled na gusto niya laging nakabukas iyong aircon. Sabi ko, 'You have to conserve energy. We don’t know what’s going to happen. We don’t know how long this will take, di ba?'”
LESSON #2: HELP OTHER PEOPLE
“Kapag nagalit siya sa akin, I cite examples. Sabi ko, there are people out there who are hungry, living on the streets. Sabi ko, 'We should be helping these people, rather than playing computer games.'
“Nakikinig naman siya at nari-realize niya kung gaano kahirap ang mga pinagdadaanan ng mga kababayan natin ngayon."
LESSON #3: HAVE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
“My son naman, hindi kasi siya lumaki sa akin. Pero ang ini-instill ko talaga sa kanya is be thankful that you are blessed, that you have a roof over your head.
“At the same time don’t ever forget na we should always help people who are fighting for their life every single day.
“Iyan ang kailangan mong matutunan, na tumulong ka. Huwag ka lang mag-Tiktok diyan, o mag-ano. Kailangan mong matutunan iyan.”
