Hindi maikukumpara ang sakripisyo ng isang panganay na anak mula sa Bohol city na itinaguyod ang pagpapa-aral sa apat na nakababata niyang kapatid... kahit mismong diploma niya ang kapalit.

00:03 For many Filipinos, it's a great fortune for parents to have their children graduate.
00:08 But for Abby's family, it's a great fortune as a sister to have her four siblings graduate,
00:14 even if it's the opposite of her own dream of becoming a diplomat.
00:18 Abby is viral because her siblings have finished BS in Agriculture,
00:23 BS in Hotel and Restaurant Technology,
00:25 BS in Marine Transportation,
00:27 and BS in Hotel Management.
00:30 She says that her father doesn't support her anymore after her separation from her mother.
00:35 Her mother couldn't work because of her care for her grandmother.
00:39 So even in her third year college, Abby was forced to stop and look for a job for her family.
00:46 It just came to my mind that I'm the eldest, so I should be the one to work.
00:51 My siblings are really pitiful. They are still young.
01:00 They are my motivation to continue.
01:04 She also went to Manila, but she couldn't find a job.
01:09 Abby didn't think that she would be able to become a call center agent in the nearby Cebu.
01:15 It's really hard.
01:16 I give my mom 80% of my salary.
01:19 She borrows my allowance first.
01:22 Sometimes, I just wake up crying because I'm also anxious.
01:30 What if I don't have food or massages?
01:33 During the pandemic of 2020, she transitioned to online live selling.
01:38 But Abby also admitted that she didn't fight it alone.
01:42 In every ending, she has a role in inspiring others to study.
01:47 Her ex-boyfriend and now her husband John helped her a lot.
01:51 She gives almost 80 to 100 percent of her salary to her family.
01:57 I don't support anyone because I'm not the eldest.
02:04 So I'm the only one who helps her.
02:07 I want to thank her.
02:09 Her sacrifice is amazing.
02:11 It's rare for an eldest like her to give her all of her money to study.
02:16 If we're going to teach, it's not an obligation for us to do it.
02:21 It's not wrong if we can't do it, especially if we're not in the same class.
02:27 But for those who can make a sacrifice like this, thank you.
02:32 Right now, I'm more focused on myself.
02:37 Slowly, I'm pulling my inner child.
02:41 I'm doing things.
02:45 I couldn't do it before.
02:48 And I'm also planning to focus on my studies.
02:53 To those like Abby, I hope the time will come when you'll be a big sister or a big brother.
03:01 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Ngui Kuahe, for Tutok 24 Horas.
