"Well... I'm just a simple lady... with simple dream. A dream of coming to Manila just to look for a job. Unfortunately, the problem is... I don't have the means (financial) to go to Manila. I'm a scholar of DOST kaya ako nakapag-tapos ng kolehiyo. About my parents, deceased na sila when I am in high school years pa lang. I am staying in a boarding house for now... kasi wala naman kaming bahay na puede kong matuluyan dito sa bacolod. Taga Surigao po talaga kami, but lumipat lang nanay at tatay ko dito nung maliit pa lang ako, kaya wala na akong idea about sa mga relatives ko. I'm the only child dahil medyo weak ang health ng nanay ko that time and so medyo delikado na kung magbubuntis pa siya uli. I'm so very desperate. I'm really needing a help. I'm willing to sacrifice everything including myself in exchange for my future career sa Maynila. Wala po akong puedeng hanapin na trabaho dito sa bacolod 'coz magiging sales lady lang ang mga bagong graduate dito... I have my deadline in San Miguel and still, I don't know if someone could help me on my way to Manila... I really need help for now... I'm willing to offer an exchange for that... Whatever you wish... I'm risking it." .
