‘Papa-paint brush’
To teach one’s child is to discover oneself

At the San Fernando Market, we met Lolo Pedro. At 77, he continues to work hard, repairing and selling shoes — a trade he has spent almost half of his life doing.
The pandemic affected his livelihood; he takes home less money because of fewer customers. Still, he shows his mettle by laboring on, despite risks to his aged health.
“Wala, ganito ang buhay, kailangan mo kumayod kahit anong mangyari kung gusto mo mamuhay,” he stated with conviction.
To teach one’s child is to discover oneself
Be grateful for people who take the time to give you ‘me time’
Advocate even while young, “but be the change that you want to see”
To patronize young merchants is to support their ambition
It’s not the gadget… it’s the student
Showing your children how you work can give them a good head start in life
A sibling’s love should be cherished for life
Planting seeds that make you happy is doubly worth it when it makes other people happy too
Not helping many is no excuse for not helping some
A loving embrace is more powerful than the simple gift that precedes it
Parents who play teacher can find new ways to bond with their student-children
Don’t let anything get in the way of your studies
Put your faith in God, in all humility, in good times and bad
Tireless work shows fortitude
For children, it’s amusement; for adults, it’s togetherness
There is simply no excuse these days for not hearing Mass
A young person’s kindness and faith can inspire the old
For someone in need, a pack of goods is a pack of hope
Never feel sorry that you are your own yaya
No gift is more precious than caring for our elderly during their twilight years
