00:00Fishbowl and Balut, not just for those who are hungry, but also a way for the 10 children to finish their studies.
00:13That's not the only good news, because the children's dream house is for the whole family.
00:22Let's have a food trip together to inspire and give a good vibe to the story of the Atienza family.
00:40We got to know here in Good News, Mother Maring and Father Freddy.
00:45They've been married for 45 years, and they have not just one, but two, or three, but 10 children.
00:53It's fun, but it's hard to live. If we don't work, we won't have anything to eat.
01:01Their husband had a simple life back then, and that's also the life that their children grew up with.
01:08Their daily life back then was selling fishbowl and balut by Mother Maring and Father Freddy.
01:16Sometimes, I borrow money from my relatives so that I can have something to eat.
01:21We have a soup shop that we borrow fishbowl, fishbowl, and balut.
01:28If we get it now, we'll pay for it tomorrow.
01:31Their daily income here is not just enough for their daily food, but also for the education of their 10 children.
01:39I remember when I was 3 years old, I used to get everything.
01:43I would buy a bag of rice, food, and feed the children who were hungry.
01:49Let's buy balut.
01:50It's as if the husband and wife are strangers.
01:53Aside from selling, they also started making hollow blocks and selling bread.
02:01Even though life is hard, the siblings do not complain about the life they have.
02:06Mother Maring thought that I was okay with ketchup.
02:10That's why I said that, because there's really nothing to feed us.
02:14We have nothing to eat.
02:15So, I always say that ketchup is my favorite food.
02:22Because that's the only food I can eat even though I'm in college.
02:30As a result of their parents' hard work,
02:33they are also helping to meet their daily needs and for their education.
02:41My father used to make bread in the early morning,
02:46and I would sell it in the morning before going to school.
02:51Their dream for their parents is to give them a good life.
02:56But because of the state of their life back then,
02:59their family could not avoid being judged by others.
03:03They asked me, what will I achieve in life?
03:07Is that the only job that I can show to my children?
03:11Of course, it's painful for a parent and for my siblings.
03:14Another thing that they will never forget
03:17Our house used to be very small.
03:20If someone passes by, they would say that our house is a quarter.
03:27Dead marau to the bashers.
03:29Just focus on the goal.
03:32As a result of their family's hard work,
03:34and the hard work of Mother Maring and Father Freddy back then,
03:38one by one, and little by little,
03:40they were able to finish their education.
03:45For their education,
03:47one is office management,
03:50one is HRM,
03:52one is HRM,
03:54Jennifer is a teacher,
03:56Jessica is also a teacher,
03:58Donna is also a teacher,
04:00Samuel is an engineer,
04:01Christian is a businessman.
04:04The two of them are still here,
04:05they are still graduating from their master's degree.
04:08While Jennifer has a doctorate degree.
04:11And their son is already in his third year of college.
04:14That's why it's time for their parents to graduate.
04:20The gift from the siblings to their parents,
04:24from their small house that only had one room back then,
04:29now,
04:34it's upgraded.
04:40It has a nice living room,
04:43kitchen,
04:46two CRs,
04:47and seven more rooms.
04:49It's very happy.
04:51We can also live in a house with a stone.
04:54It's a big change for our children.
04:58Now, the family is no longer fighting.
05:02The mother and father are also taking a break from fishing.
05:07The bad vibes have been replaced by good vibes.
05:12But the plot twist in their life is not yet over.
05:16Because there is still a test in the balance of their family.
05:22It's not only life, but also the livelihood
05:24that is affected by the Christine earthquake in Agoncillo, Batangas.
05:29It was only in October,
05:31when the Christine earthquake hit the country,
05:33the province of Batangas was more affected.
05:36And their place, Mabini,
05:39was not safe from its impact.
05:42Our house was bombed.
05:44Their house was damaged.
05:46The roof was removed.
05:49The inside was damaged.
05:52It's really wet.
05:54There's nothing to hide. It's all wet.
05:56But there is no storm that can be compared
06:00to unity and love.
06:02That's why the family is committed
06:04to fixing their house again.
06:07Hey, hey, hey!
06:08Break first!
06:09Sina Ferds and Jennifer
06:11brought a snack for the family.
06:14This is our favorite snack!
06:16Cheers!
06:25Before, we can only taste a fish ball
06:27if it's burnt,
06:29and if it's left over.
06:31And in Maloc,
06:33if it's broken, it's broken.
06:35Mother, Father,
06:37thank you so much
06:39for your sacrifice for us.
06:41I thank the Lord God
06:44for giving me good children
06:46and a good life.
06:50As the saying goes,
06:52the family that stays together
06:54in sadness and happiness
06:56will always stay forever
06:58just like a family.
07:14The family that stays together
07:16in sadness and happiness
07:18will always stay forever
07:20just like a family.
