01:10Assistant Vice President and Head of the GMA Artist Center,
01:13Ms. Ida Henares.
01:15Applause
01:20Can you please tell us very quickly about the nature of your jobs?
01:23You ask the General?
01:25She was afraid of you earlier, General.
01:27You are the First Lady General?
01:30Yes, of the Philippine National Police.
01:32Wow.
01:33Philippine National Police, huh?
01:34From Apari to Julio.
01:36National Police, huh?
01:38Was that a dream, even before, to become a police officer?
01:42Well, I think it runs in the blood.
01:44Why? Your father?
01:46In my family, I have two uncles who are in the military, my cousin.
01:53I even have a priest who is a police officer.
01:57Your husband, did you meet him on the job, or?
02:01He's a civilian.
02:03He's not in the service?
02:05Not in the service.
02:06So what's a regular day for you like?
02:08For me, every day is a regular day of job.
02:12It goes with the...
02:14What time does he usually wake up?
02:16Around 4 a.m.
02:18I usually wake up at 4 o'clock.
02:19I told you.
02:21And then?
02:22I prepare everything, going to the office.
02:25So I should, especially Monday, we are attending flag-raising ceremony.
02:29And after that, we go on with the usual routine.
02:32We have conferences, and of course, we entertain clients, especially battered wives.
02:38Wow.
02:40I'm not battered.
03:10So we're trying to have more progressive schools in the country.
03:14Okay.
03:15So we're piloting the school to be an example of that.
03:18Oh, okay.
03:19Her name is complicated, right?
03:21Miss Ada.
03:22Miss Ada.
03:23This is really a showbiz.
03:25I handle the talent management and the talent development arm of this network.
03:31So that means that, of course, we manage the careers,
03:34and we represent the homegrown artists of this network,
03:37as well as we offer talent development courses for them and also for the public.
03:41Huh?
03:42We're more complicated.
03:43Do the song you're doing.
03:45It's a waste.
03:48We're just starting.
03:50I'm flattered.
03:51She said that her first two songs were memorized.
03:53Memorized.
03:54Wow.
03:56What's the nature of your job?
03:57It's really far from singing, from how people know you.
04:00How did you end up in this job?
04:02Okay.
04:03It's like this.
04:04Nobody wants to do it.
04:05Nobody wants to be the president of the association.
04:07So I have to do it.
04:09They say that I'm strong and brave.
04:12You're an operator?
04:13Yeah.
04:14Because we have a business, which is a bus company.
04:17Okay.
04:18So I'm looking for a president.
04:20So you married into that kind of business?
04:22Yes, I am.
04:23Or you started it together with your husband?
04:25Yeah.
04:26You started it together?
04:27We started it together.
04:28Okay.
04:29Yeah.
04:30And then, it ended.
04:31I became the president, right?
04:32Oh, it ended.
04:33You became the president.
04:34Yeah, of the association.
04:35Okay.
04:36Of the association.
04:37We will know more about our guests, but we will take this break.
04:40And when we come back, we will meet a woman who is on top of her job,
04:45even all the way to the kitchen.
04:47Stay tuned.
04:48Up next is a lady boss who will show us how to prepare a quick dish
05:18using mainstay hits in the fridge.
05:20We have with us Ms. Ida Linares.
05:22What are you going to cook today?
05:24We're going to do gising-gising.
05:26Gising-gising.
05:27And where did you learn this?
05:28Where?
05:29Oh, my gosh.
05:30Or you made this up?
05:31Well, it's like this.
05:32I have a tendency to, when we go to a restaurant and I like the dish,
05:35I kind of taste it, and then I try it at home.
05:38So that's what I do.
05:39You're good.
05:40So this one is something that I tasted in a restaurant.
05:43That you really like enough to try at home.
05:44I liked it, and so I tried it, and so this is how we do it.
05:46What's the first thing we do?
05:47Okay, what we will do, the first thing is,
05:49Wow, this is big.
05:50Let's start with, ah, let's put some oil, of course.
05:53We have to put some oil, right?
05:54Tita, that's what I wanted to tell you.
05:57In case you get mad at me.
05:59We'll put some oil, of course.
06:01Not too much because, you know.
06:03This is what?
06:04A main dish or an accompaniment?
06:06Yes, it can be like a side dish.
06:08But if you want it to be the main dish,
06:09if you want to put some pork or ground beef or anything,
06:13you can also do that.
06:14That's delicious, Tita.
06:15Yes, that's delicious.
06:16Of course, and then let's put some garlic.
06:19Some garlic?
06:20Let's put some garlic.
06:21You want a lot of garlic?
06:22Yes.
06:23Okay.
06:24As a general,
06:25General, yes.
06:26General, yes.
06:27Let's put some garlic.
06:28Okay, let's put some garlic.
06:29And then?
06:30And then we'll just saute garlic and onions.
06:33Onions.
06:34Alright.
06:35You like onions also?
06:36Some people don't.
06:37Okay.
06:38Let's put a lot of onions then.
06:39Okay.
06:40There.
06:41As lady bosses, do you find time to cook?
06:45Okay.
06:46Once in a while.
06:47I try to cook.
06:48We bake with my girls.
06:50Ah, you bake with your girls.
06:52General, do you have time to cook?
06:54Yes, of course.
06:55Especially in the morning.
06:56Ah, you really cook?
06:57Yes.
06:58Breakfast for everyone?
07:00Yes.
07:01But General, when you cook,
07:03do you still have a straight body?
07:07Do you cook in uniform?
07:09Alright, and then?
07:10And then, what's next?
07:11Of course, we wait for that to wilt a bit,
07:14the garlic and the onions.
07:16And then, what we'll do next,
07:18we'll put the green chilies.
07:20The chili, you know the Pinoy chilies?
07:23Yes, yes.
07:24This is the secret thing.
07:25The native.
07:26Yes, this one.
07:27The chilies are for seasoning, if they call it that.
07:29There, for seasoning.
07:30It doesn't matter, right?
07:31It doesn't matter when you put the chilies.
07:33Can it be at the beginning or at the end?
07:35Preferably here, before you put the water spinach.
07:38Okay.
07:39But it wilts very easily.
07:40So, if you want it a little hot,
07:42you want this to cook a bit so that the...
07:45The flavor is more intense.
07:46Yes, exactly.
07:47And you can put as much.
07:49Like for some people,
07:50the Bicolanos want a lot of chili, right?
07:52Okay.
07:53But for us, not too much, just a bit.
07:55Okay.
07:56And then, after you do that,
07:58we can already put...
08:00Smell it.
08:01Yes, smell it.
08:02Can I smell it?
08:03It smells good.
08:04It smells good.
08:05It smells good.
08:06It smells good.
08:07And then, after that,
08:08we can put the kangkong.
08:09What you do with the kangkong,
08:10I like it especially when the...
08:12Sometimes, we use a lot of the leaves for the soup.
08:15But I like the stem.
08:17And I don't like to waste the stem.
08:18So, that's why this is a good thing.
08:20This is a good dish.
08:21And I think it's a good thing, really,
08:22that you chop it, right?
08:23Because sometimes...
08:24It's hard to melt.
08:25Our visitors get choked.
08:26Oh, the kangkong is this long.
08:30Yes, yes.
08:32That's right.
08:33And then, this one,
08:34sometimes it can be a little crunchy.
08:37The stalk, right?
08:38If it's not overcooked,
08:39it's a little crunchy.
08:40So, we'll cook it.
08:41We'll mix it.
08:42There.
08:43There's a lot of kangkong.
08:44A lot of kangkong.
08:45It's going to wilt.
08:46It's going to wilt.
08:47And then, if you want,
08:48you can probably add a little bit more oil
08:49so that it won't burn.
08:50Is there such a thing
08:51as overcooking the kangkong?
08:53Yes.
08:54If it's overcooked,
08:55it's not so delicious, right?
08:57Okay.
08:58Okay.
08:59So, we'll do that.
09:00And then, why would...
09:01That's right.
09:02That's right.
09:03Don't be noisy.
09:04So, auntie,
09:05are you a stern boss in the office?
09:07Does that also mean
09:09that you don't know how to cook lambeng?
09:12I'm good at lambeng.
09:13This is a form of lambeng.
09:15Why do you think I know how to cook?
09:17I had to learn how to cook, right?
09:18You have to feed your family.
09:19You start by feeding your husband.
09:21You have to feed your man.
09:22Yes, of course.
09:24So, my husband likes to eat
09:26things like that.
09:27So, that's why.
09:28Actually, he likes this dish.
09:30This is the one.
09:31He likes this dish.
09:32That's why you master this.
09:34Yes, what I like about him is
09:35he's my best customer in terms of cooking.
09:38Because he believes in my cooking.
09:41So, whatever experiment I do,
09:42he'll eat it.
09:43In his eyes, you don't know wrong.
09:44No, I better talk to him.
09:47So, as a lady, as a woman boss,
09:49how do you make lambeng
09:52for your husbands?
09:53We're going to add the...
09:54General, I want to know
09:56how do you make lambeng for your husband?
09:59Well, if you make a coffee for him,
10:01I'll say,
10:02Babes, your coffee is ready.
10:04Prepared by the General.
10:06Do you also make lambeng
10:07even if you're wearing a uniform?
10:08When you go home from work,
10:11how do you make lambeng?
10:13Well, hug him, kiss him,
10:16and especially take off your uniform.
10:19Because with the uniform,
10:21the police power is there.
10:25If you take off your uniform,
10:26you don't have the police power.
10:29You only have the wife power.
10:30Yes.
10:32I have a follow-up question to the General.
10:34What is it?
10:35I'm a bit scared.
10:36Do you also flirt with the General?
10:39I'm just curious.
10:42That's what he wants.
10:43Oh, that's what he wants.
10:46The General is beautiful.
10:48That's why you shouldn't flirt
10:50with the General.
10:52Oh, yes.
10:53Okay, at this point,
10:55we added already a little soy sauce.
10:57Okay.
10:58And then we will put one cube.
10:59This is like a bouillon.
11:00Yes, a bouillon.
11:01It can be beef or chicken.
11:02Okay.
11:03Go.
11:04I don't know why we're melting this thing.
11:06I know you just got widowed recently.
11:09But when your husband is still alive,
11:11sometimes when you put soup,
11:12how do you take care of him?
11:14He likes salty food.
11:16And he's a good eater also.
11:18He appreciates it.
11:20What is his favorite dish that you cook?
11:24Actually, he likes steak.
11:26It's so easy to cook.
11:27He likes steak.
11:29If it's not steak,
11:30he likes native food
11:34like dinengding.
11:37So I'm sure he will like this.
11:39He would have liked this.
11:40Yeah.
11:41Right?
11:42Most definitely.
11:43Miss Joy.
11:44Yeah.
11:45From a full school day,
11:48how do you take care of him?
11:49Actually, my husband and I,
11:51we work together.
11:52Oh, so you see each other at work.
11:54Yes.
11:55Actually, the best way to make him
11:57is to give him a day off from me.
12:00He likes playing golf.
12:02Do you play golf together?
12:03No, but then that's his time off.
12:05So oftentimes, that's what we try to do.
12:08We try to spend quality time together.
12:11But at the same time,
12:12we allow each other also to do things
12:14on our own.
12:16I read that in a book.
12:17You have to put spaces in your togetherness.
12:20And then the relationship is healthier.
12:22Yeah.
12:23Is it ready?
12:24Okay, we put a little bit of this seasoning.
12:27Just a little bit of that.
12:28Tita Ida said,
12:29when in doubt, put seasoning.
12:30Yes, when all else fails, put seasoning.
12:32The soy sauce is not yet right.
12:34This is it.
12:35Yes, the soy sauce needs to be more.
12:36More.
12:37And then lastly,
12:38let's put a little pepper.
12:40Okay?
12:41And actually, this is it.
12:42It's cooked.
12:43It's done.
12:44So it's good with everything.
12:45Fish.
12:46Yes.
12:47Chicken.
12:48Chicken, pork, beef.
12:49Yes, you can eat it with anything.
12:50Even just this.
12:51And rice.
12:52And rice.
12:53Let's put this later.
12:54You try it.
12:55You have to try it.
12:56And then you have to say it's nice.
12:57Whatever.
12:58I love my job.
12:59It's so good, Tita Ida.
13:00There, okay.
13:01There you go.
13:02So very simple.
13:03She's my friend.
13:04I'm going to say,
13:05It's so good, Tita Ida.
13:06Very simple.
13:07There you go.
13:08I'll serve it.
13:09Is this something that you can prepare for your husbands?
13:10Is this enough?
13:11Yeah, they can taste it.
13:12They can taste it.
13:13Just taste it.
13:14It's good.
13:15It's good.
13:16It's good.
13:17It's good.
13:18It's good.
13:19It's good.
13:20It's good.
13:21It's good.
13:22But you have to taste it.
13:23Then it's okay.
13:24Look at me.
13:25She's negotiating her portion.
13:26Because in this show,
13:27everyone is always serving.
13:28And Wilma is the only one left.
13:29It's fine.
13:30It's fine.
13:31Wilma come here.
13:32There.
13:33Taste.
13:34I love this.
13:35It's so good, Tita Ida.
13:36I wish you could smell how delicious this is.
13:37You have to taste it.
13:38You have to taste it.
13:39This is already our menu.
13:40There.
13:41There.
13:42There you go.
13:43There you go.
13:44There you go.
13:45There you go.
13:46There you go.
13:47There you go.
13:48There you go.
13:49There you go.
13:50There you go.
13:51There, you can eat that with rice, right?
13:54Yes, I can imagine this with a little bit of pork.
13:57There, let me taste it.
13:59Tell me.
14:00General, it's delicious.
14:02General, please try.
14:04I will try it first.
14:06Let's try it.
14:07Okay.
14:08Let's see if it's delicious.
14:12In fairness, it's delicious.
14:14I love my job.
14:16I woke up.
14:17That's why it's called Gising Gising.
14:20We will take a break but when we come back,
14:22we will talk about how they keep the music playing with their husbands.
14:25This is good.
14:26Stay tuned.
14:50New days, a sweet life.
14:52Walk away with Lucy.
14:59Sweet, sweet life.
15:01Every day's a new beginning.
15:03Sweet life.
15:04Every night I start to sleep in a new place.
15:08How does a busy mom prepare for a trip?
15:11Ms. Joy Abakin will show us just that.
15:14Do you do the packing for everyone in the family?
15:16Your husband, your…
15:18Is it really you?
15:19Yes, I do.
15:20I actually enjoy packing.
15:21But because I have two girls,
15:23so they try to copy, of course, mommy.
15:25So I allow them to have their own little small bag
15:28where they can carry their own things
15:30so that they learn to be responsible for it.
15:32How do you do it?
15:33You have a checklist?
15:35Yes.
15:36Today, we were just talking about the things that they can bring with them
15:39like their toys.
15:40And how much?
15:41How much toys to bring?
15:43Because they might fill up their suitcases with all toys.
15:46That's true.
15:47I keep them busy when they're in the airplane
15:49so that, you know, they don't get so bored.
15:51And then, like, my little girl,
15:53she always likes having her small,
15:56but sometimes it's not allowed,
15:58but then small mouthwash.
16:01She's particular about those things.
16:03But now it's liquid, right?
16:04It's not allowed in the airlines.
16:06So one of the things that I teach them
16:08is to put the ones that can spill in a Ziploc.
16:12Or in a toiletry kit.
16:14So what are the…
16:16Okay, let's start.
16:17Packing tip.
16:18I'm a light packer.
16:20Yeah, typically,
16:22Filipinos just pack everything
16:25until it's really, really tight.
16:27I really don't like that.
16:28Especially now in the airport,
16:32they inspect, right?
16:33So it's not nice if you open it and it's all messy.
16:36Right?
16:37So all the…
16:38So you separate your…
16:39Yes.
16:40It depends on what you're going to bring.
16:42Like, if it's a shirt,
16:43of course,
16:44you try to make it as compact as possible.
16:47So you cover it first before you put it in.
16:50Yes.
16:51And then,
16:54if it fits,
16:55another way that they do it is that they roll it.
16:57They roll it, yeah.
16:58Yes.
16:59You know, I learned that from my foreign boyfriend.
17:02Maybe especially jeans, right?
17:04You really roll it
17:05because you don't like it if it's jeans.
17:07Yeah.
17:08But jeans, oftentimes, because it's very heavy,
17:12you can also flatten it.
17:13Like, if you have long sleeves like this,
17:16instead of…
17:18instead of it being flat,
17:20if you have that big bag,
17:21you can actually leave it flat
17:23so you don't have to plan where you go.
17:25Yes, right?
17:26So the less folding,
17:28the less creases also.
17:30And then you can just put the sleeves in front.
17:34So you're talking about an overnight bag.
17:37You're not really showing us how to pack for a trip.
17:40That's really the Maleta type.
17:42If it's the Maleta,
17:43I was saying, depending on what your bag is,
17:45like, if you're going to have a polo shirt,
17:48typically, you don't…
17:49you try to minimize all the creases
17:51so you don't have to iron where you go.
17:53So you want it flat.
17:55You mentioned earlier
17:56that you and your husband work in the same environment.
18:00Yes.
18:01Who is the boss?
18:02Is it you?
18:03Is it him?
18:04Or there's no such thing?
18:06Well, we do different things.
18:08He's more in the finance
18:09and the marketing aspect of the school.
18:11You're more administrative.
18:12Yeah.
18:13But I'm the director of the school.
18:14So technically, in a way,
18:17I do mostly overall things.
18:20So you decide, not your husband,
18:23when it comes to school?
18:24Or together, you make decisions?
18:26We make decisions
18:27because administratively,
18:29I know the curriculum,
18:30but of course, everything has to pass through finance.
18:33And so he's part of the decision-making process.
18:38What about you, Ms. Claire?
18:40Are you still the boss when you get home?
18:42In the house?
18:43No, because you worked also when your husband was alive.
18:45You worked with him also.
18:46Yeah.
18:47When you get home, who's the boss?
18:48Him.
18:49Him?
18:50Is that okay with you?
18:52Of course.
18:53Because you know,
18:54the problem with us is
18:57I'm the celebrity, right?
18:59I'm the one that's really my name.
19:01And then everybody…
19:02You're in the front line.
19:03I'm in the front line.
19:04And everybody, you know,
19:05most of the time, people will say,
19:07Are you Mr. De La Fuente?
19:10Really?
19:11Yeah, because people don't know that I'm Mrs. De Guzman.
19:15Okay.
19:16People don't know that.
19:17So they'll say,
19:18Are you Mr. De La Fuente?
19:19You know, sometimes I feel that
19:21maybe there's something wrong with him.
19:23You're irritated with him, right?
19:25You never talked about it.
19:27We never talked about it.
19:28We never mentioned anything about it.
19:31But it has to be the man
19:33who's going to call the shots in the house
19:35or anywhere.
19:37Oh, so you believe that?
19:38Yeah, I believe that.
19:39Oh, okay.
19:40General, do you believe that?
19:41That you need to be submissive?
19:43Or are you used to being the boss when you get home?
19:46Well, you know, in the military parlance,
19:49the wife is always higher one rank.
19:53Really?
19:54If the husband is one star general,
19:56the wife should be two star generals.
19:58Cute.
20:00Some of my friends are generals,
20:03and they say,
20:05they command their men,
20:08but they don't want their men to be late.
20:11But if their wives are waiting
20:13because they're going to a party,
20:15even if they're 15 or 20 minutes late,
20:18they're just waiting.
20:21But that's a general.
20:23Yes, that is true.
20:24But in my case,
20:26the husband has always the final say.
20:29Depends on the wish of the wife.
20:33Tita Ada, what about you?
20:35I'm a general.
20:36You and your husband,
20:37you're both in the same industry.
20:39You're both creative people.
20:41Do you clash?
20:42Who has the final say?
20:44No, we don't clash.
20:46Never.
20:47Actually, we've worked very well together
20:49because for about 20 years.
20:51I can attest to that.
20:52Really?
20:53You know why?
20:54Because my husband and I,
20:55we recognize each other's gifts.
20:57So if he's good at that,
20:59then that's what he'll do.
21:00And if he lets me do what I really like to do.
21:03So I concentrate on my gifts,
21:05and that's a happy combination.
21:07And I also believe that
21:09you have to let your husband take his place.
21:13You know what I mean?
21:14You have to give him his place of honor.
21:16And we are the ladies.
21:19We know our place.
21:20If you know your place,
21:21and if you know that it's not only because
21:23when you get married to a person,
21:25it's not only this agreement that we have,
21:27it's this agreement that we have with the Lord.
21:29But the main focus should always be
21:31where God has placed you,
21:33what are you going to do with that position?
21:35So whether you're a mother,
21:37whether you're a daughter,
21:38whether you're a wife,
21:39or a career person,
21:40what are you going to do with that position?
21:43Or that place that he has given you
21:45and blessed you with?
21:46So if you look at that way.
21:48So there's no reason for you to clash?
21:50No reason for anybody,
21:52for a husband and wife to clash.
21:53But of course,
21:54there are things that we have to understand.
21:56Cause a shot.
21:57Cause a shot.
21:58In some areas,
21:59if it's my area,
22:00then it has to be me.
22:01If it's his area,
22:02then it has to be his area.
22:04By the way,
22:05let me show you our suitcase.
22:09What happened?
22:10It's so big.
22:11The suitcase is so big.
22:13If there's a lot of people like this,
22:15why are we afraid to go up in the suitcase?
22:18No one will take care of us.
22:21If your suitcase is this big,
22:23you can still go shopping.
22:26Ms. Joy,
22:27you only have a few clothes?
22:29No, we only provided a few.
22:31And it's rolled up.
22:32Look, I'll show you.
22:33And then the polo,
22:34you put it at the bottom
22:36so it's less messy,
22:37less messy.
22:38It's just rolled up.
22:39Like a lumpia.
22:40Is that how you pack?
22:42Yeah.
22:43General,
22:44who packs?
22:45Of course, I do.
22:46You do the packing?
22:47We have different packing in the police service.
22:49Oh, General,
22:50we have different packing.
22:53Do you have a plancha?
22:56We do not usually use that kind of bag.
22:59When we go out,
23:00we have the backpack.
23:02Oh, you have a backpack.
23:03Yes, of course.
23:04That is easy.
23:05But what if it's just a vacation,
23:08not work?
23:10You're still used to it.
23:11Yes, for me.
23:12But for the children,
23:13they also have their backpack with them.
23:17Let's pause for a break.
23:18We will be right back.
23:48We are back.
23:49And Tita Ada,
23:50do you have favorite household chores?
23:51I had a manufacturing company.
23:52So I used to design
23:53and I'm really a designer by heart.
23:54And I studied when I was a young girl.
23:55And so we did,
23:56I did clothes.
23:57You studied designing clothes?
23:58Designing, yes.
23:59Oh, wow.
24:00And I used to manufacture bags
24:01and clothes, etc.
24:02But when my kids were small,
24:03they were more interested
24:04in designing clothes.
24:05So I used to make clothes
24:06and I used to make bags
24:07and I used to make bags
24:08and I used to make bags
24:09and I used to make bags
24:10and I used to make bags
24:11and I used to make bags

25:06and I used to make bags
25:07and I used to make bags
25:08and I used to make bags
25:09and I used to make bags
25:11I like cooking
25:12I like cooking
25:13I like cooking
25:15Okay
25:19How bad
25:20What if you're
25:21What if you're
25:22No, I'm not
25:23You can only do that
25:24to your friends
25:26What if your husbands
25:27tell you that
25:28there's only room
25:29for one boss
25:30in this household
25:31I want you to quit your job
25:33General said that
25:36You've never been
25:37told that
26:03If your spouse
26:04asks you to quit your job
26:06That's a crime
26:07Yes, because
26:08he is depriving you
26:09to improve your life
26:11and this is a sort
26:12of economic effort
26:13They don't have
26:14a heart for the general
26:15There's a law now
26:16There's a law now
26:18But of course
26:19it depends on the situation
26:20I think, right?
26:21Like for instance
26:22if it is necessary for you
26:23to quit the job
26:24to quit the job
26:25because you're needed
26:26by your family
26:27then it's a different
26:28situation
26:29It's not abuse, right?
26:30Of course
26:31What about you, Ms. Joy?
26:32If you feel that
26:33you're not being abused
26:34No case
26:35Yes
26:36No complaint, no case
26:37No complaint, no case
26:40What about you, Ms. Joy?
26:41What if
26:42because you work
26:43in the same school
26:44Yes
26:45and sometimes
26:46the idea
26:47clashes
26:48somehow
26:49Not really
26:50Never
26:51I think
26:52if your husband
26:53asks you to do something
26:55that's presuming
26:56that he doesn't
26:57really, you know
26:59fully understand
27:00you are
27:01respect you
27:02because I think
27:03the basic is
27:04So you treat it
27:05as a sign of respect
27:06or disrespect?
27:07No, not really
27:08It's just that I think
27:09if they
27:10if you
27:11you are doing something
27:12that you love to do
27:13and he understands that
27:14Why should he take that
27:15away from you?
27:16If he understands that
27:17Unless
27:18extremely necessary
27:19I think the respect
27:20between husband and wife
27:21will not force
27:22either of you
27:23to make choices
27:24that, you know
27:25that you're not
27:26very comfortable with
27:28So
27:30I'm very conscious
27:31about
27:32really giving
27:33because
27:34like as a mom
27:35you're a model
27:36to your children
27:37and as I've said
27:38I have two girls
27:39and I don't ever want
27:40them growing up
27:41to think
27:42I can't be this
27:43or I can't do this
27:44just because I'm a girl
27:45So
27:46I'd like to
27:47No stereotypes
27:48Yes
27:49I'd like to model for them
27:50that whatever you think
27:51you can do
27:52it's alright
27:53and especially
27:54my girls are extremely
27:55you know
27:56curious
27:57and
27:58and I think
27:59as a girl
28:00oftentimes we say
28:01we'll underachieve
28:02or we won't be as smart
28:03because maybe
28:04the boys don't like that
28:05but I think
28:06they should be able to
28:07as you've said
28:08God gives us
28:09different kinds of talents
28:10Yes
28:11and they should be able
28:12to really
28:13fully explore that
28:14and still
28:15find somebody
28:16who love them for that
28:17and not ask you
28:18to be
28:19you know
28:20stereotyped
28:21as not working
28:22or doing other things
28:23just so that
28:24they'll feel good
28:25about themselves
28:26Yeah
28:27I'd like to ask
28:28Tita Ida
28:29and Tita Claire
28:30because
28:31you both agreed earlier
28:32that you really want
28:33to be submissive
28:34Yes
28:35as wives
28:36So if your husband
28:37say that
28:38Quit
28:39Don't work
28:40Quit
28:41Don't work
28:42She said the same thing
28:43earlier
28:44She said the same thing
28:45It depends
28:46if for example
28:47it's really so necessary
28:48What makes it necessary?
28:49What situation
28:50I don't know
28:51We'll see that situation
28:52when it comes, right?
28:53We can't say
28:54Well for me
28:55a necessary situation
28:56would be
28:57if your children
28:58need you
28:59Well yeah
29:00I mean like
29:01because the whole idea
29:02for me
29:03of working
29:04is not like
29:05something that I have to do
29:06to prove myself
29:07Yes
29:08You know it's not
29:09it's something that
29:10you want to do
29:11it's something that you
29:12it's a gift
29:13as a matter of fact
29:14probably you're very prepared
29:15or you're equipped for it
29:16that's why you're in that job
29:17right?
29:18So
29:19and sometimes
29:20the reason why we do this
29:21aside from developing yourself
29:22is really
29:23to keep a family
29:24to provide for your family
29:25Yes
29:26I think that point of
29:27remember the biggest task
29:28of a mother is
29:29really raising good children
29:30good people
29:31Yes
29:32Now
29:33What about being a woman?
29:34Exactly
29:35So if that gets in the way
29:36If that gets in the way
29:37and if it's affecting
29:38your children
29:39and they need you
29:40I would even
29:41voluntarily say
29:42that I will give up my job
29:43I think in like
29:44because I run a school
29:45so I see a lot of the moms
29:46you know
29:47they'd bring their toddlers
29:48Yes
29:49or their preschoolers
29:50and they'd say
29:51you know teacher
29:52I used to be super busy before
29:53and I used to do this
29:54and I've decided
29:55that I want to spend time
29:56with my children
29:57Especially the growing years
29:58Yes
29:59because that's when
30:00the person is really molded
30:01Yes
30:02So I think it's a personal choice
30:03like I don't think
30:04they feel bad about
30:05quitting
30:06or taking time off
30:07Yes
30:08from work
30:09because at that point
30:10in their lives
30:11maybe they feel that
30:12it was necessary
30:13it was their priority
30:14Yes
30:15but then there are
30:16there are some parents
30:17who I
30:18you know they'd say
30:19should I quit
30:20as a mom
30:21should I do this
30:22and I go you know
30:23Yes
30:24because there's so much
30:25quality time
30:26you can spend with them
30:27so I think it's really
30:28a personal choice
30:29and a personal value
30:30and also the
30:31the circumstances
30:32that you're in
30:33Yes
30:34because most people
30:35It's a case to case
30:36Right
30:37if you have the luxury
30:38to give it up for this
30:39you know you always
30:40have to weigh everything
30:41right?
30:42If you really don't
30:43have that luxury
30:44and you must
30:45go to work
30:46to feed them
30:47that's why
30:48now we have our
30:49For financial reasons
30:50Yes
30:51Exactly
30:52so if you have
30:53that luxury
30:54and not only the luxury
30:55but if you have
30:56that option
30:57then you can take it
30:58when it's necessary
30:59Okay
31:00I'll turn you over
31:01now to Wilma
31:02let's see what's
31:03happening with her
31:04Wow
31:05I've learned a lot
31:06Thank you
31:07I'm with Joy
31:08so my question
31:09goes like this
31:10because not all
31:11women
31:12are like us
31:13lucky
31:14women
31:15have jobs
31:16and fathers
31:17have jobs
31:18what if
31:19in a situation
31:20that
31:21your mother
31:22is the big boss
31:23but then again
31:24your father
