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.
