LUIS - A junk shop worker here and mother for nine children is working
so hard to earn extra income to send the latter to school and be able to
buy school supplies before the formal opening of classes.
Susan Santos, 51, single mom said that ordinarily she is only earning P250 a day in her job as junk shop worker.
"Mahirap po talaga ang buhay lalu na ang daming kung anak. Kadalasan kulang po ang kinikita ko sa pangangalakal sa pag araw araw na pangangailangan ng aking mga anak sa pagkain, damit at iba. Kaya ngayong papalapit ang pasukan iniisip ko kung paano papasok sa eskwela ang aking mga anak," she said.
Santos told Sun Star Pampanga that of the nine children, three of them were still in elementary, two are in high school and another in preparatory school.
She claimed that despite of extreme poverty she is planning to push for the continuing education of her children saying that this is the only way to change their future.
"Ang gusto kahit ang mga anak ko lang ay magbago ang buhay nila. Huwag silang tumulad sa akin walang pinag aralan kaya hanggang dito lang ang alam kong hanapbuhay," the single mom noted.
Helping Santos in the job as junk shop worker are two of her elder children while her eldest child is already employed as sales lady in a super mall in the City of San Fernando.
During weekends, Santos is also working as laundry woman to augment on the other needs of her family members.
"Kahit ano gagawin ko para sa aking mga anak," she ended.
