Karla Estrada, Actress-TV host said on April 17 why she frequently lends a hand and adopts her relatives.
At the ‘Face2Face’ media briefing, which LionhearTV covered, Estrada mentioned how helping families is a trait that all Filipinos share.
“Oo lahat naman ‘yun mga pamangkin, mga kamag-anak. Okay lang kasi– ano ba, tayo pa bang mga Pilipino. Minsan nga, noong isang apartment lang, ang dami na namin, ngayon pa kayang parang gegewang-gewang sa bahay.”
She then noted the value of helping younger family members through their studies.
“So talagang ganon, bigyan natin ng pag-asang magkaroon ng magandang buhay. Actually kasi, ‘yung mga pamangkin natin, mga kamag-anak natin, na masisipag mag-aral, ‘yun ‘yung masasarap tulungan kasi sila ‘yung dapat natin tinutulungan, ‘yung mga kabataan nating kamag-anak.
“Para, kapag natapos silang makapag-aral, naging successful na sila, sila naman ang tutulong sa pamilya nila, para natatapos ka na doon. Hindi ‘yung lolang lola ka na, ikaw pa rin di ba?”
One of Estrada’s relatives was the late Sparkle artist Andrei Sison, who passed away after a car accident.
Estrada admitted that their family members, especially the young still mourn Sison’s passing.
“‘Yung aking mga anak at tsaka mga pamangkin na kinalakihan na kasama ni Andre, na pamangkin ko rin na pinalaki, sila rin ‘yung talagang binabantayan ko kasi sila talaga ‘yung kung nagdadalamhati ako, mas doble sila, dahil ‘yun talaga ang kasama nila everyday sa buhay nila.”
