00:00This is our real breadwinner accountant that we can invite here in the middle, April Conde.
00:09April, you are the breadwinner accountant.
00:13Yes.
00:14How long have you been an accountant?
00:165 years.
00:175 years.
00:18How long have you been a breadwinner?
00:205 years as well.
00:215 years as well.
00:22Yes.
00:23How long have you been living?
00:25We are 11 siblings.
00:28I have 10 siblings and my parents are 2.
00:32Are you the eldest?
00:33Yes, I am the eldest.
00:35You are living with 10 siblings and your parents.
00:38Yes.
00:39Isn't it hard for you, April?
00:41It's hard but I have to endure it.
00:44What are your parents doing now?
00:46Now, they are selling bottles.
00:51Whenever I give them money, I give them the money to pay for the house.
00:58After that, I get the money to pay for the house.
01:03You have 11 siblings and all of them are studying?
01:08The youngest is at home.
01:11He's not studying yet?
01:12No.
01:13How old is he?
01:144 years old.
01:16What is the most difficult thing that you've been through as a breadwinner?
01:20When my mother gave birth to our baby, it was during the pandemic.
01:26We found out that he was pregnant when he was 7 months old.
01:30We had no idea that he was pregnant when there was an outbreak in his uterus.
01:36It was during the pandemic so it was hard for us to have him checked up.
01:39Who was the outbreak in his uterus?
01:40It's so bad.
01:41Why would you kick his mother's uterus?
01:43No, it moved.
01:44Try to kick his mother's uterus.
01:47One of us will fall down.
01:49Who kicked him?
01:51The baby.
01:53He didn't know that he was pregnant.
01:55So, he didn't kick his mother's uterus.
01:57He might get a typhoid.
01:59It was during the pandemic.
02:02My mother was in a delicate situation.
02:06So, OB prepared us for CS.
02:09If it's normal, he might bleed.
02:13So, when he gave birth, we prepared a blood bag in case he bleeds.
02:20And it's expensive if it's cesarean, right?
02:22Yes.
02:23How did you do that?
02:24You're the one who will answer that, right?
02:26Yes.
02:27But what happened was that I didn't have savings.
02:30So, what I did was, I borrowed money from my colleagues.
02:34I also tried to borrow money from other family members.
02:36So that we can be sure that we will have something to hold on to when he gives birth.
02:41But didn't OB find out about your situation?
02:44And then he offered you something?
02:47Yes.
02:48OB found out that we are poor and we are siblings.
02:52I don't know if we are willing or if we want to give up my sibling.
02:57But my parents decided that I have a job.
03:02If I can afford it, I will give birth to another child.
03:09But of course, as a mother, I don't want us to be separated.
03:14So, I decided that even if it's hard, I will not give him up.
03:20So, you said, let's not give him up.
03:22Yes.
03:23Let's not give him up.
03:25So, it's still up to you.
03:26Yes.
03:27Because OB seemed to be out of concern for sure.
03:31Yes.
03:32Because he knows that you are already 10 siblings.
03:34Yes.
03:35So, what will happen to the child?
03:37So, when your mother gave birth, you were already a breadwinner.
03:42Yes.
03:43Because of the pandemic.
03:44Didn't you get angry?
03:45Didn't you say, we are already poor.
03:46You already gave birth.
03:47Did you talk to him?
03:48Did you do something like that?
03:50Or did you just pray to God?
03:51Did you just cry?
03:53At first, I felt bad.
03:55Because we don't have money anymore.
03:57Because of the pandemic, we are already 10 siblings.
03:59Then, another one was added.
04:02It's hard.
04:03Why can't they control themselves?
04:06Or even get pills.
04:09So, you can't do anything.
04:10You just have to accept it.
04:11Yes.
04:12Right?
04:14You have a boyfriend now, right?
04:15I do.
04:17Do you still get happy sometimes or often because of your boyfriend?
04:21I still get happy.
04:22Because he is there to listen to what I have experienced in life.
04:27Because when I cry, he is there to listen to me.
04:30He is like your speaker, right?
04:32Yes.
04:33He is the one who listens to you when you tell your story.
04:36Yes.
04:38How are your plans?
04:39Did your family choose you for a boyfriend?
04:43Do they have a say?
04:45Because some people, especially the breadwinners,
04:47their family has a say.
04:48Like, don't get a boyfriend first.
04:50Or some people are more lenient.
04:52Okay, if you are happy with that.
04:53We support you.
04:54What about you?
04:55What is your situation?
04:56They said that I should finish my studies first before I get married.
05:03How old are your two siblings?
05:05The one who followed me is 21 years old and 20 years old.
05:08Well, they are in their 3rd year of college and 2nd year of college.
05:12That is what your parents told you?
05:13Yes.
05:14Before you get married, you should finish your studies first.
05:17Yes.
05:18They also said that we should have our own house before I get married.
05:23It's hard, right?
05:24Even though I don't know you, I hear your story.
05:26It affects me.
05:28Why you?
05:29You ask yourself that.
05:30Why her?
05:32Why she?
05:33Why is she the one who will promise you?
05:35Right?
05:37It's painful.
05:38It's hard.
05:40I don't know your parents.
05:41I don't judge them.
05:43But I can't stop thinking,
05:46why did you do so much and you will buy it for your child?
05:50The obligation.
05:52So, what do you feel sometimes?
05:55What do you think when you are in a difficult situation?
06:00I feel like I am an ATM in our family.
06:03What?
06:04I am an ATM.
06:05You feel like you are an ATM in your family?
06:07Yes.
06:08Because when there is no food to buy,
06:10they don't have a place to sleep,
06:12they chat,
06:13Sister, can you buy some food?
06:15Sister, we have to pay for the school.
06:17It's like they think that when they chat,
06:19they will get money right away.
06:21But they don't think,
06:22even when I say that I don't have money,
06:25I don't have much to spend,
06:27they think that I still have a lot of money.
06:32That's what I was saying earlier,
06:33because sometimes we are used to it.
06:35Right?
06:36We are so used to it.
06:37I am not blaming you,
06:39I am not blaming you,
06:40but let's not blame the people who are abusing us.
06:46I am not saying that you are abusing
06:48because you can't judge that for yourselves.
06:50That's what he said earlier,
06:52let's not say that.
06:53Let's just say that they are always the first,
06:54the family.
06:55Yes.
06:56And you also need to get hurt.
06:58Right?
06:59Because sometimes,
07:00you don't know if you will get hurt
07:02if you don't get hurt.
07:03Do you sometimes complain?
07:06I do complain.
07:08For example,
07:09they chat,
07:10Sister, there is no food,
07:11I will say that I don't have money.
07:13But later,
07:14I will chat with my brother,
07:15Sister, have you bought food?
07:17I will say no.
07:18So I will still send,
07:19I will still give.
07:20Because I know that my brothers,
07:22when they are hungry,
07:23they cry.
07:24They are the eldest.
07:25Of course,
07:26they can't stand it.
07:27They can't stand it,
07:28especially if they are small.
07:29That's true.
07:30They can't stand it.
07:31They don't want to grow up.
07:32Sometimes,
07:33we,
07:34even though we are old,
07:35sometimes,
07:36we don't understand each other.
07:37Right?
07:38We just act like,
07:39I am angry here,
07:40that's it.
07:41Or you can't stand it.
07:42I can't stand it.
07:43But in your heart,
07:44you are breaking.
07:45That's true.
07:46Breadwinners are like that.
07:47You will try it,
07:48but you will give it to others.
07:51So that they will be the first.
07:52But in other breadwinners,
07:55you will try it,
07:56but you will pull it first.
07:57Because it might fall.
07:59It's hot.
08:00It's hot.
08:01You will try it,
08:02but you will give it to others.
08:03It's because it's eaten.
08:04Slowly.
08:05Slowly.
08:06Slowly.
08:07Hey!
08:09Can you eat it?
08:16It's hot.
08:17It's hot.
08:18It's hot.
08:19It's hot.
08:20It's hot.
08:21It's hot.
08:22It's hot.
08:23It's hot.
08:24It's hot.
08:25It's hot.
08:26It's hot.
08:27It's hot.
08:28It's hot.
08:29It's hot.
08:30It's hot.
08:31It's hot.
08:32It's hot.
08:33It's hot.
08:34It's hot.
08:35It's hot.
08:36It's hot.
08:37It's hot.
08:38It's hot.
08:39It's hot.
08:40It's hot.
08:41It's hot.
08:42It's hot.
08:43It's hot.
08:44It's hot.
