00:00He wants to be a soldier because of the benefits.

00:02Yes.

00:03He wants to get the benefits.

00:06Before he became a soldier, he did a lot of work as a breadwinner.

00:11Yes.

00:12That really tested him and his whole family.

00:15Yes.

00:16What were the jobs that you did as a breadwinner?

00:19Since high school, I didn't choose.

00:23Since we came from a broken family and I saw the situation of our lives,

00:29no one told me that I would be the breadwinner.

00:34When the day came, you would be the one to feed us.

00:39No one dictated that to me.

00:41How did you become a breadwinner?

00:42I saw the hardships of life.

00:44We were six siblings.

00:46I saw my grandmother.

00:48Every morning, there were six of us.

00:52She would count the coins.

00:54I will never forget that.

00:56My allowance was 10 pesos.

00:58It was just enough for us.

01:02There was nothing left.

01:04I was the fifth out of six siblings.

01:07Why did you take the responsibility?

01:09I was the only one who finished school.

01:14What happened to the others?

01:16It was typical that no one could afford to live.

01:19We would just go to high school and then get married.

01:22They were not able to go to school because of your financial situation?

01:29Yes.

01:30Before, my grandmother only had a small pension.

01:35Why did you finish school?

01:37When I was young, I had a mindset that I didn't want to grow old.

01:43Until my grandmother passed away, she was the only one who could provide for us.

01:49Ever since, my grandmother only had a small pension.

01:54What about the others?

01:55It was like she was given a chance.

02:00Before I went to school, I thought that what my grandmother gave me was enough.

02:05What about tomorrow?

02:07Before I went to school, I thought that what my grandmother gave me was enough.

02:14I told myself that I wouldn't allow my situation to continue.

02:23What did you do for a living?

02:25When I was in high school, I worked as a housekeeper.

02:29I cleaned the house.

02:31I had a family.

02:33I would go home.

02:34I also took care of the greenhills.

02:37What did you do for the greenhills?

02:39I worked as a vendor.

02:41I took care of the jelly case.

02:43I was just an average worker.

02:45At that time, I was paid P100.

02:48At that time, I was still a minor.

02:51I was just an average worker.

02:53My classmate's mother took care of me.

02:57You worked hard, Christine.

02:59You did almost everything.

03:01You won't be a breadwinner if you don't work hard.

03:05You need determination.

03:07If your parents can't do it, you expect them to do it.

03:14Yes.

03:15But they don't give up.

03:20If you work hard, you will be a breadwinner.

03:28While she was still studying, she was still working at a young age.

03:33She was the only one who could help her family.

03:36And she didn't give up.

03:38All of her siblings are in the same situation.

03:42All of them are the children of their parents who don't have money.

03:45But she didn't give up.

03:48She chose to change the story of her life.

03:52But who convinced you to become a soldier?

03:54I did.

03:55Guys!

03:56I believe you.

03:58She sold you a jelly case.

04:01Jelly case!

04:02But no one convinced you to become a soldier?

04:04No one.

04:05I see.

04:06My question is, isn't it dangerous to be a soldier?

04:09Isn't it dangerous to be a soldier?

04:11Yes.

04:12Aren't you afraid of it?

04:13No.

04:14It's part of the duty of a soldier.

04:17It's a different thing.

04:18Yes.

04:19But there's nothing scarier than worrying about your family's food.

04:24That's what many Filipinos worry about every day.

04:28What will we eat tomorrow?

04:31And how will our family live?

04:33Right?

04:34That's what's important.

04:35That's what's scary.

04:36Enrollment is scary.

04:38Paying for school is scary.

04:40Electricity.

04:42But she's happy because it's also a success story.

04:46That's true.

04:47She's a breadwinner who's been through a lot.

04:50She achieved a lot for her family.

04:53First of all, for herself.

04:55She finished her studies.

04:57What else did you achieve for your family?

05:00She didn't just finish.

05:02I mean, aside from graduating magna cum laude.

05:06Yes!

05:07Right?

05:08That's true.

05:09Paps knows that, but he doesn't know that this is the real soldier.

05:13She chose a different one.

05:14Don't blame her.

05:15How did Paps know that?

05:17He doesn't know that.

05:18Now, he's based in Kilates.

05:20Now, he knows that.

05:22Isn't that great, Ms. Paps?

05:24She didn't just graduate magna cum laude.

05:25There's a distinction.

05:26There are honors.

05:27Magna cum laude.

05:29What's your course?

05:31AB Psychology.

05:32Not Criminology?

05:33No.

05:34Psychology.

05:35Psychology.

05:37Magna cum laude.

05:39Wow.

05:41So, she's working, but she's really concentrating on her studies.

05:46I learned through hard work.

05:48Because I was a scholar back then.

05:50And then, when the grade dropped to lower than 1.75,

05:55the scholarship was lost.

05:57That's why I really tried to keep up.

06:00That's determination.

06:02That's great.

06:03And focus for her family.
