Apat kami lalaki We grew up very poor. Our dad died when I was only five. Very strict and namamalo ang nanay ko. I really admire her bringing us up dahil kahit ganoon ay walang tarantado sa maing apat [ako lang medyo siguro]. Growing up poor is a blessing na rin siguro dahil ni minsan hindi namin pinag-awayan magkakapatid ang pera. And I thank my wife so much for understanding everytime I give my brother money.

And for my kids, I try to be patient pero I do spank them whenever they go over the line. But I always tell them the reason why I did so. And I always make it a point that I keep my promises. And so far I haven't broken any. If they ask me and I know I could not give or do, I always just tell them I'll try. Ang mga bata, for every ten na you did good for them, they'll probably remember a couple. But they will remember every single broken promise or spanking you gave them...
