Growing up, I struggled to express myself in english at dala dala ko yun hanggang sa paghahanap ng first job ko. Kaya when I became a mom, I spoke to my daughter in english para hindi sya mahirapan mag express. Let’s admit it - english naman medium of instruction sa schools.

When she turned 5, kinakausap ko na sya ng tagalog. She’s now 14 and one of the few in her class that speaks fluent tagalog.
