“Kunyari sa mga pinsan ko, hindi ako magbabayad ng mga tuition fee nila. Hihingan ako ng kapatid ng pang-tuition, (sasabihin ko) ‘Ba’t ako magbabayad ng tuition fee ng anak mo, eh anak mo ‘yan,” Melai said.

“Kami, bata pa lang kami, tinuruan na kami na huwag umasa. Dapat kayo maging breadwinner. Pero dapat breadwinners. Lahat kayo breadwinners ng family.” 

“Kunwari nagtatrabaho si Ate. Dapat nagtatrabaho ka rin. Kunyari sinabi ng kapamilya ko tuition fee, sasabihin ko, ba’t ako mag-tuition fee? Pagalitan talaga. Manginig ka talaga, partner,” 

“Kaya kapag responsibilidad mo, responsibilidad mo ‘yan. Kasi pinasok mo ‘yan. Hindi pwedeng ako ‘yan,”
