00:00The woman of worth to me is every woman who's aware that we have that word, that we matter.

00:19Okay, I'll start with my discipline style.

00:22Kasi nung dalawa pa kami nung late husband ko, nag-division of labor kami.

00:26Kasi siya yung konsentidor, ako yung disciplinarian.

00:29So, pagkilangan, it would be, he would be the good cop and I would be the bad cop.

00:35So, syempre, mahirap gawin pag solo-parent ka.

00:39And pag sinubukan mong pagsama yung good cop and bad cop, syempre, lalo na in the eyes of your children,

00:46ang mangingibabaw ay yung bad cop.

00:48But as part of that, my parenting style has been, I think, I've tried,

00:55hindi lagi nagsasaksi, hindi.

00:56I try to love each child equally, just differently, kasi each of them's a different person.

01:03I try to communicate with them all their lives and to be open and welcoming and inviting

01:10without me imposing sa kanilang communication sa akin.

01:14And basically, just try to be present.

01:17Dami ko pa rin na-miss, I realize.

01:19Dami rin missteps, but I have tried and I will keep on trying to be present

01:25in the different ways they need it.

01:27Kasi habang nag-iiba rin yung edad nila, syempre,

01:30nag-iiba rin yung kung paano nila ako kailangan or di na kailangan.

01:39A lot of times, I question kung enough yung pag-prepare ko.

01:44Kasi kahit pag-couple kayo, challenge na, diba?

01:48And we were two parents to four children.

01:51So nung naging solo mama ko, mas grave pa yung fraction, diba?

01:55Naging one is to four.

01:56Isa lang ako, tao, and yun na, walang ka good cop, bad cop.

02:01Walang ka exchange ng opinion or approach.

02:05There have been many times I have questioned, until now.

02:09And kahit mahirap, minsan inisip ko, maybe that's good.

02:15Kasi as parents or even as any people in any relationship,

02:19palagay ko especially with our children,

02:21it's always good to be on our toes, diba?

02:23Kasi di lang naman tayo, pati sila, laging nagbabago.

02:28And to be in relationship with them means we have to pay attention

02:33and also be, you know, reveal to them paano din tayo,

02:38paano din ako nagbabago binang tao.

02:46Oh my, very much so.

02:48Every moment, conscious ako na babae ako.

02:51And it's for a reason.

02:53And para dahil yung karanasan natin mga babae,

02:56yung panalaw natin, yung pakiramdam natin.

02:58Pati sa ganyang mga policy and legislary questions, definitely.

03:03So bilang ina, bilang solo parent, bilang magiging senior,

03:08bilang dating youth and student, dami.

03:12I think, yes, definitely I bring all of that to my legislary work.

03:21The woman of worth to me is every woman who's aware

03:27that we have that work, that we matter.

03:30We have the dignity given by God or the universe.

03:33We have the rights as Filipinos.

03:36We have privilege and the responsibility of being human

03:41among so many species on this planet.

03:44And being a Filipino woman is also a source of particular pride.

03:48So for me, the woman of worth is lahat ng yaman na baon natin

03:52sa ating katawan, sa ating puso, sa ating isipan, sa ating kaluluwa.

03:57At inaalagaan natin ito, itong mahalagang ito.

04:01At inaalay natin, iniinvest natin sa mga bagay na kapaki-pakinabang.

04:06Yan ang tala ng worth natin.
