She then described the conditions they lived in during her younger years, revealing that they grew up in a squatter community where even basic necessities were difficult to afford.
“Kasi, noon, talaga dati aaminin ko walang-wala kami. Nakatira lang kami sa iskwater - ang bahay namin graba, ang dingding namin yero. Isang higaan lang [kami] magkakapatid sama-sama. Wala kaming kubeta!”
According to Donita, one of the biggest challenges their family faced was her father's illness. He suffered a stroke for a decade, preventing him from working and leaving her mother to shoulder the responsibility of supporting everyone.
“Sobrang hirap namin dati talaga, kasi father ko is talagang may sakit noon. Ilang years, 10 years na-stroke siya. Tapos, walang trabaho, mama ko lang nagtatrabaho labandera. Masaya naman 'yung pamilya namin kahit papaano, dun ko naranasan kumain araw-araw kanin lang at asin.”
Despite their struggles, Donita emphasized that their family remained close and content. She said those difficult years taught her that happiness cannot always be measured by material possessions.
Looking at her life today, she acknowledged how far she has come, saying she now has a house, a vehicle, and financial stability. However, she has never forgotten where she came from or the lessons she learned from those difficult times.
Donita said that despite now having a house, a car, and better financial stability, she has never denied the difficult situation their family once faced. She shared that they remained content with what they had and added:
“Pero nangarap lang talaga tayo na magbago ang buhay natin.”
Donita also shared her belief that genuine happiness is not exclusive to those with wealth. She pointed out that many Filipinos who live modestly still choose to value togetherness and peace of mind over financial success.
“Pero 'pag masaya ka, kahit wala kang pera, 'di ba mas marami Pilipino na mahihirap na masaya sa buhay. Kesa, sa sobrang yaman na-problemado pa rin. Nangangailangan tayo ng pera, pangkain. Pero, mas okay pa rin 'yung iba na tingnan mo 'yung iba ayaw ko mag-abroad, okay lang ganito kita ko, basta magkakasama tayo, masaya tayo.”
Her story became a reminder that while success may change one's circumstances, the sacrifices of family and the lessons learned from hardship remain unforgettable.
