“When my kids nga make me lambing and they say, ‘Mama, we’re gonna take care of you, I tell them, ‘You don’t need to do that because I’m working so hard for you guys," Sharon emphasized.

“But I think it’s also right for a child, like I did it. I really didn’t have to take care of my parents day-to-day, but when there’s a big bill, like a medical bill, OMG, these are my parents, and without their guidance and their love, the way they raised me, I don’t think I’ll go as far as I have. I think kailangan din sa atin ‘yung filial piety. It’s just in our culture. And I’m sorry, kahit anong sabihin mo, may utang na loob ka sa magulang mo,” she emphasized.

“Siguro like me, they know I don’t need their money, pero the mere thought na naisip nila. Si Frankie, when she got her first paycheck, it was P20,000 in cash. When she got it, I was saying, ‘Wow, you got na your whole pay.’ You know what, she was giving the whole amount to me. She said, ‘It’s my first pay.’ I said, ‘OMG, you know, you just give us P1,000 and we’ll split it. You can keep that. Half of it you can spend with what you want, half of it you can keep muna.’ I’m teaching them, you know," Sharon added.
