"Almost five years ago anak, our business was struggling. We were in a very bad shape. Palugi na talaga tayo. Halos masisiraan na kami ng bait ng mommy mo on how to survive at the same time not showing to you and your siblings what we are really going through. Ang nag i-isa nating branch ay wala na talaga, we were in 60 million debt in the banks. Lahat ng amortizations ng mga sasakyanan natin ay hindi na nababayaran. Kakatapos mo lang sa pag a-aral and we have to take care of your brother and sisters tuition fees. Lahat ng ari-arian natin ay nakasangla na. What are you gonna do if you were in my shoes that time? When you can't anymore get new loans? Plus it was the time our Motel was affected by the earthquake. There is almost no hope at that time. Pero anak, ako ang haligi ng tahanan. I can't give up...no matter how I wanna end my life that time...."

Gimbal na gimbal siya sa mga narinig....halos hindi mag sink in ang mga sinasabi ng ama. But she is paying close attention. She is speechless. She can't imagine how sassy of a life she lived without knowing ganun na pala ang nangyayari sa kanila. The three of them including her sister and brother are living a very luxurious life those times... he can't imagine the heroism his dad have done for them.

"....how did we survived Dad? how did you do it? I-i m-mean...paano tayo naging ganito ngayun?"

"..the only chance anak is to look for an investor right? or anyone who can lend us money..? but who is gonna trust you in that situation anak? My businessmen friends are telling me, they wanna help me but they know the whole business is already a total failure. Walang point kahit pa tumulong sila bec the only solution there is, is to get funds to pay all the debts and start anew. Alam ko din yun...alam na alam ko yun. But I still can't lose hope. Out of desperation, kung sino sino na ang mga business mogul ang pinupuntahan ko kahit hindi paman nila ako kilala." wala na talagang tigil ang pag agos ng luha ko hearing what my dad is confessing now...
