AGE 14 tO 25

  WERE YOU ENJOYING YOUR LIFE AT THIS AGE?

Of course as a teen ager I enjoy playing volleyball and I have nothing to worry because my step father and mother were kind and helpful. Although money was hard to earn, still the family is contented of being poor. We owned a few hectares of land but the produce is just enough to live. Later when I live in Manila at the age of 20-25 I enjoyed by having girlfriends and going Night Clubs. I also enjoyed playing Poker with people of good standing at Phil Columbian Club.

DESCRIBE RELATIONSHIP WITH PARENTS AND BROTHERS AND SISTERS:

My parents were very good persons. They were understanding and loved us too much. They bought our needs and seldom punish us by making us pray before our statue of Virgin Mary & Jesus. We 3 brothers & 2 sisters were closed to each other because we pray together and attend the mass during Sunday and observed the Holy week. Sometimes Deling and me quarell because she will not follow me when i request her to fetch water from the well which was 80 meters away from our house. But later on for many years we were able to buy pump and that makes life sa little better for us. We have harmonious relation and the oldest son help the brothers & sister in the expenses for schooling. The eldest help those who were next to him or her.
