00:00What was the most difficult thing that you've been through as a breadwinner?
00:03When my mom gave birth to our baby,
00:07because it was a pandemic,
00:09we found out that she was already 7 months pregnant.
00:13We had no idea that she was already pregnant
00:17when there was an outbreak in her uterus.
00:19It was a pandemic, so we had a hard time getting a check-up.
00:22Who's the one who had an outbreak in her uterus?
00:23That's so mean.
00:24Why would you hit your mom's uterus?
00:26No, it was moving.
00:28Try to hit your mom's uterus if you know that one of us is going to fall.
00:32Okay, sure.
00:33Who's the one who hit your mom's uterus?
00:35The baby.
00:36Yes, the baby.
00:37She didn't know that she was pregnant.
00:39She hit her mom's uterus when she was a baby.
00:43Because of the pandemic,
00:45my mom was already in a delicate situation.
00:49So we prepared an OB-GYN for her.
00:53Because if it was normal,
00:55she might bleed or something.
00:57That's why when she gave birth,
00:59we prepared a blood bag in case of bleeding.
01:03And it's expensive, right?
01:05Yes.
01:06How did you do that?
01:07You're the one who's going to answer that, right?
01:09Yes.
01:10But what happened was that I didn't have any savings.
01:13So what I did was,
01:14I borrowed money from my colleagues.
01:17I also tried to borrow money from other families.
01:20Just to make sure that we have something to hold on to when she gave birth.
01:24Did OB-GYN know about your situation?
01:27And did they offer you something?
01:30Yes.
01:31OB-GYN found out that we're having a hard time.
01:33And we're siblings.
01:35I don't know if we're willing or not.
01:38Or if we want to give up my sister.
01:41But my parents decided for me.
01:45They said that I have a job.
01:47If I can afford it,
01:48I can have another child at home.
01:52But of course, as a mother,
01:54and I don't want to be separated from my siblings,
01:57I decided that even if it's hard,
02:00I can't give her up.
02:03So you said,
02:04let's not give her up.
02:05Yes.
02:06Let's not give her up.
02:07So,
02:08the child is still with you.
02:09Yes.
02:10Because OB-GYN,
02:11it's like,
02:12it's out of concern for sure.
02:14Yes.
02:15Because she knows that you have 10 siblings.
02:17And what will happen to the child, right?
02:20So,
02:22when your mother got pregnant,
02:24you became the breadwinner.
02:25Yes,
02:26because of the pandemic.
02:27Weren't you angry?
02:28That we're having a hard time.
02:29You got pregnant.
02:30Did you talk to her?
02:31Did you do anything?
02:32Or did you just pray to God?
02:34Did you just cry?
02:35At first,
02:36I felt bad.
02:38Because we didn't have money.
02:40Because of the pandemic,
02:41we only had 10.
02:42Then we added another one.
02:44It was hard.
02:46Why can't they control
02:49or at least get pills?
02:52Because you can't do anything
02:53if I'm not there.
02:54Yes.
02:55Right?
