00:00The price of buying rice for us Filipinos is very high.
00:05So do you believe that these bags of rice
00:10instead of being sold, are just given for free to others?
00:15Where is that coming from?
00:18We met the Cheong, a Filipino-Korean family from Angeles City, Pampanga.
00:25Cez Nanda and her Korean husband, Jong Soo, are Filipinos.
00:30They own businesses in retail, food, accommodation, and more.
00:36Their two children, Jezzy and Seya, were given a good life.
00:42Their family really likes to collect happy memories
00:47that they upload online.
00:49We have to be realistic about our situation.
00:53She said that we can upload videos on social media
00:56so I can remember my children even if I'm not here.
01:00I always feel sorry. That's why I do my best for my daughter.
01:04They didn't expect that many people would enjoy their videos
01:09and that many followers would join them online.
01:13But their family's perspective changed during the pandemic.
01:18At that time, quarantine was very strict.
01:21We asked ourselves, can we do something about it?
01:24Can we help other people?
01:26So the first thing we did was to make sandwiches in a very simple way
01:30and then we share with other people.
01:32Until an outreach program at a school,
01:35reality-checked Jezzy, who was 8 years old at the time.
01:41They went to a public school to ask for help.
01:45There was a big difference from international school to public school.
01:48The two of them were surprised.
01:50Why is their CR like this?
01:52Why do they share in one book?
01:54Why is there less food during recess?
01:56Why is there no uniform?
01:58That's what made them curious.
02:00They have to suffer in the heat for a while.
02:03I don't have to worry about a break,
02:06like if I have food or not.
02:08But when I sat in there...
02:16But I enjoy it now,
02:18because I know I help a lot of students my age and other grades and ages.
02:24This is where she asked for help from her parents to help others.
02:29Then when I was 8, I told my mom the idea of giving people,
02:35mostly students and children, rice and milk powder and canned food.
02:41And her husband, all out support in helping their children.
02:46Very, very proud.
02:48At a very young age, he thinks that students like him should not be hungry,
02:53so that in the future, they will have a good future.
02:57So they can focus on their studies also.
03:00It makes my heart beat fast that I have a very kind son.
03:04He thinks about other people.
03:06Since then, every day,
03:09Since then, every day,
03:11I have been donating rice and milk powder to public schools.
03:14Even from their own pockets.
03:17They continued this prayer.
03:19Until their followers were able to help.
03:24Because every month, it's okay.
03:27But now, it looks like every week.
03:30So when they go to the other school, they attend to their school.
03:36So every month, we go to different schools to share rice.
03:40Until now, every week, we go to different schools.
03:44But what the family really wants in helping,
03:48is the hardship that Cez herself experienced in life.
03:52When my mother is pregnant, my father is a carpenter.
03:55There are times when we don't have rice.
03:57As a mother, I always worry if we have rice.
04:00The time comes when you feel hopeless,
04:03you have no hope, you can't eat.
04:05My uncle will knock on the door.
04:07He will borrow rice, even half a kilo.
04:10I want my son to be like that in the future.
04:14He will be a hope for other children.
04:17And today, the Good News team will accompany the Chung family
04:21to deliver 300 bags of rice to an elementary school.
04:26Most of the children here,
04:28walk for more than an hour before they reach the school.
04:33This is one of the grade 6 students, Joy.
04:36It's hard for me to go to school without having rice.
04:40Rice is important to us because there are a lot of people who help us.
04:46I can focus on my studies when I eat.
04:51I am happy that someone helped us.
04:55Joy's parents were not able to go to school.
04:58That's why they promised to support their child's education.
05:03I want Mary Jo to grow up.
05:06To be a teacher.
05:07To be a teacher.
05:08She needs to be full when she goes to school.
05:11It's better to have a good income than to go to school without a good income.
05:16It's better to have a good income than to go to school without a good income.
05:20I can't focus on my studies if I don't have a good income.
05:24The school is very grateful for the help of the Chung family.
05:31But the rice, especially since we are far from home,
05:34is a huge help.
05:39Age does not determine the ability to help.
05:42It doesn't matter if it's small or big.
05:45What's important is that it comes from the heart.
06:09The Chung family is grateful for the help of the Chung family.
06:13The Chung family is grateful for the help of the Chung family.
06:17The Chung family is grateful for the help of the Chung family.
06:20The Chung family is grateful for the help of the Chung family.
06:23The Chung family is grateful for the help of the Chung family.
