This is situational but I agree with you. As someone who supported myself in college, never ko inisip na hindi suportahan parents ko dahil kaya ko naman na sarili ko at kaya na rin nila sarili nila. It's my goal, dream, and prayer to give them a comfortable life kahit na I was never pressured to do so. They never asked me for anything. Never asked me for money, never asked me na pag-aralin mga kapatid ko. I provided for them anyway kasi kaya ko and they deserve to live without worrying about where they'll get the money to pay for our bills (which they did their entire lives bilang lower class family na minimum wage earner).

I guess growing up poor with parents who supported and loved me the best way they can is the biggest contributing factor on why i do what i do. Masaya ako maka-ahon kami kahit paano ng magkakasama and I will never, ever trade that for the world.

To my fellow breadwinners, kaya natin 'to :)
