00:00Number one, Justin Kim DeLeon of Batangas. What is your job?
00:07I'm a mechanical engineer.
00:08Wow, that's why you're good at numbers.
00:11Engineers are good at numbers.
00:14Thank you so much.
00:15You should be good at acting, sir.
00:18Thank you very much.
00:19Let's go to number two.
00:21Cassie really thought it was you.
00:23I'm a full-time event host.
00:26I told you.
00:27You said it right.
00:29Oh my gosh.
00:30You said host vibes.
00:32That's why you chose this.
00:34I'm a teacher.
00:36She's a teacher.
00:38But you said it right.
00:40Host vibes.
00:41Yes.
00:42Thank you very much.
00:44Did you enjoy acting?
00:45Very much.
00:46You're also good at acting.
00:49Sir is also good at acting.
00:51I hope you enjoyed it.
00:52I enjoyed it.
00:53Okay.
00:54Here it is.
00:55The real breadwinner teacher is number three.
00:59Hello.
01:02Michael John Buen of Las Piñas.
01:06You're from Las Piñas.
01:08Yes.
01:09Currently, I'm from Las Piñas.
01:11But originally, I'm from Nueva Vizcaya.
01:14Where's your family?
01:16They're all in Nueva Vizcaya.
01:18I'm the only one here.
01:19He's also from Nueva Vizcaya.
01:21No, we're from Bambang.
01:23Hello.
01:24Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya.
01:25Bambang is in Manila.
01:26Yes.
01:27It's near Tayuman.
01:28Yes.
01:29So, your family is in Nueva Vizcaya.
01:32You're in Las Piñas to work.
01:34Yes.
01:35So, you're always sent there.
01:37Yes.
01:38Okay.
01:39If I'm not mistaken,
01:40how much does the breadwinner teacher earn, sir?
01:45Michael.
01:46Michael.
01:48Every month, our salary is around 18,000.
01:52But when we pay our tuition fees,
01:55it's still deducted from our SSS, love.
01:59That's a lot.
02:00Yes, that's a lot.
02:01Do you teach in a private school?
02:03Yes.
02:04Is it true that the salary in a public school is higher?
02:07Yes.
02:08Yes.
02:09Before, I thought that the teachers earn more in private schools.
02:13No, it's higher.
02:14And there are more benefits in public schools.
02:17That's why they prefer to teach in public schools.
02:20How long have you been a teacher, sir?
02:21It's been 3 years.
02:223 years.
02:23Yes, sir.
02:24What's your subject?
02:25Physical education.
02:26Oh, it's true.
02:27It's true.
02:28Oh, PE.
02:29Yes, sir.
02:30Okay.
02:31It doesn't look like you're wearing skin, sir.
02:33Yes, because he has shoes.
02:35The two of you are wearing skin.
02:37Yes.
02:38So, you've been a teacher for 3 years.
02:40Yes, sir.
02:41How many years have you been a breadwinner?
02:43Since third year of high school up to now,
02:46I've been a breadwinner for my family.
02:48So, it's been 10 years.
02:49Yes, sir.
02:51Aside from teaching, what have you been working on?
02:54Before, I did a home-based tutorial.
02:57Then, I used my talent in dancing to increase my income.
03:04Racket.
03:05Yes, sir.
03:06You racketed your dancing.
03:07Yes, sir.
03:08I teach dance.
03:09I also make creative costumes.
03:12And I'm also an event organizer for events in Barangay.
03:16That's a lot.
03:17That's a lot.
03:18Yes, sir.
03:19So, she can do everything.
03:21She created it.
03:22But that's right.
03:23You can do everything.
03:24It's your income.
03:25Yes, sir.
03:26Because sometimes, our income is free.
03:30Yes.
03:31It's a waste, right?
03:32It's a blessing.
03:33You maximize the gifts that are given to you.
03:35Yes.
03:36Correct.
03:37So, how many lives are you saving?
03:43My father and mother.
03:45Then, my four siblings.
03:48Oh, you have four siblings.
03:50Yes, sir.
03:51Then, my four nieces and nephews.
03:54You have four nieces and nephews.
03:55Yes, sir.
03:56So, that's a lot.
03:57More than 10.
03:58Yes, sir.
03:59Lord, how will 18,000 or 16,000 fit in a month?
04:04So, how is that?
04:06What I do is, for example, I will pay 8,000.
04:11The cleanest amount is 7,500.
04:14What is that?
04:157,500.
04:16That's the total that I can afford because that's the least I can afford.
04:20So, now, that 7,000, I send it all to the family.
04:25Since I'm the only one they rely on when it comes to the basic needs and other needs of my nephews.
04:33So, how are you here in Manila if you don't have anyone left?
04:36If everything is in their hands, how do you live?
04:38The 5,000 that I left, I made it fit before I came back.
04:43For 15 days?
04:44Yes, sir.
04:45Sometimes, I'm also poor.
04:47And I'm so thankful that I have friends or co-teachers who are really giving me help
04:55because they know my situation in life.
04:57Where do you live here in Las Piñas?
05:00Does it have a roof?
05:01Yes, sir.
05:02Before, I was in the dorm of a school.
05:05Now, I left because I signed an end-of-contract contract.
05:10And good news, this December, I'm going to go to a public school.
05:15Wow!
05:17That's great!
05:20You'll earn more and you'll have more benefits.
05:23Yes, sir.
05:24But it's hard.
05:255,000, right?
05:26Yes, sir.
05:27How do you pay for it?
05:29How do you eat, sir?
05:32I make it fit.
05:34I just buy it.
05:35If I earn 500 pesos in 15 days, how much do you earn per day?
05:39Sometimes, I just buy chicken pastille for 30 pesos.
05:45And sometimes, in one day…
05:47It's just chicken.
05:48It's not minced.
05:49Yes.
05:50It's like fried chicken.
05:51Yes, sir.
05:52With rice, it's 30 pesos.
05:53Sometimes, I eat it twice or once in one day.
05:59Wow!
06:00And you need so much energy when you're a P.E. teacher because it's physical.
06:05Yes, sir.
06:06Yes, sir.
06:07You have to jump, run, and move.
06:10And the hard part is that you have to pay for electricity.
06:14You can't just laugh.
06:16You'll lose your house, you'll lose electricity.
06:19Yes.
06:20That's a cut-off.
06:21Yes.
06:22Do you know that your situation is like that in your school?
06:25Yes, sir.
06:27That's why I have friends who help me.
06:32Or I get close to them.
06:33I borrow money from them.
06:35Because…
06:36Yes.
06:37And maybe if it's a little easier,
06:42I give them the first payment of what I borrow.
06:46Because I also think that there are schools that have scholarships for students.
06:50For those who are deserving, right?
06:54Faculty members also have a lot of problems.
06:59Right?
07:00Just like him.
07:01So, I hope that you can extend the help.
07:10Right?
07:11There are PTA members, there are faculty.
07:13Is there an organization for the faculty?
07:16Even…
07:17Ah, this is what I thought of.
07:19There is a student council, right?
07:21You are thinking of the student council for the students.
07:25It's not bad if we can think of ways
07:30on how we can extend the help to our teachers who are also in need.
07:34Right?
07:35From students to the teachers.
07:38Right?
07:39Because the teachers also gave us a lot.
07:42That's true.
