00:00So, how is your family? How many people do you live with?

00:03In totality, there are five of us.

00:06Five or six of you. So, how is the state of your life now because of your pursuit?

00:14Somehow, I can say that there is a big difference 10 years ago.

00:19Because 10 years ago, how was your life?

00:2210 years ago, it was a struggle.

00:24Because my father passed away.

00:27I was the only boy in the family.

00:30All of them were women.

00:32At first, my mother was the one to help out.

00:36My brother was a factory worker.

00:41So, somehow, even though my income was small in the Philippines,

00:45You had a lot of help.

00:49However, in 2014, I decided to go abroad.

00:55Because my mother passed away.

00:58She was already old.

01:01My brother was not able to graduate from high school.

01:05It's hard in the Philippines.

01:08If you don't finish your studies in the Philippines,

01:11It's very hard for you to go through.

01:14You need to have a diploma.

01:16If you have a diploma, you can go anywhere.

01:19But if you don't, you are nothing.

01:23So, you went abroad to work?

01:26Yes, I went abroad to work.

01:29You were not able to graduate from high school.

01:31I had two courses.

01:33My father was still alive.

01:34They taught me Computer System Design and Programming.

01:38They wanted me to take a two-year vocational course.

01:41Then, my father passed away.

01:43Unfortunately, it's not enough.

01:46It's not enough that I'm already two years old.

01:50I already have a diploma.

01:52But it's still not enough in the Philippines.

01:55Because there is an opportunity to be promoted.

01:58I hope so.

01:59I became a clerical job for three years.

02:02You will be promoted, but the head office is blocking you.

02:07Because your position, although your qualification,

02:11is qualified for the position,

02:14but your papers are not.
