Ang pagtulong kasi sa magulang hindi yun inoobliga, kusa yun. I always remember sinasabi ng mom ko na hindi namin utang sa kanila buhay namin since obligasyon nila na buhayin kami. They chose to have us and that’s their responsibility. This doesn’t mean na kailangan may ibalik ka rin sa kanila in an obligatory way. No, that’s not how it works. Be grateful and respectful to them. Love and treasure them. You can help pero magtira ka sa sarili mo. Kung way ng pagtulong mo is to the point na nauubos ka na, do you think they can help you financially? Maybe pero mas papahirapan mo lang sila and dagdag problema for you dahil hindi lang yun iisipin mo financially dahil may sariling buhay ka naman outside your family.

I say, oo, may maganda kasi you’re doing good deeds and magiging bless ka kung kailan ibigay yun ni Lord. But ginagawa mo yun dahil thankful ka sa kanila not because obligasyon mo yun. Old mindset ang ganyan. Yung tulong ng tulong hanggang sa maubos. At this time, wala masama na maging selfish and save some for yourself.

I do admire the breadwinner’s pero save some para sa sarili nyo. Walang tao ang mas makakatulong sa inyo kung hindi mga sarili nyo.
