"Alam mo, ang talagang the best talaga, kailangan talaga best of friends kayong mag-asawa.  Hindi ba, kasi, talagang kayo 'yong magkasama.  Magkasama kayong magkukwentuhan mula umaga hanggang gabi bago kayo matulog.  Kami ng asawa ko, talagang kuwentuhan lang kami nang kwentuhan.  Para lang kaming barkada na kuwento nang kwento, non-stop."

Taking care of their children is an important source of joy every day.

"Kasi, kapag ako ang nanganak, talagang devoted mom ako.  Basta ang mundo ko nagre-revolve lang around the baby and the kids. 'Yon ang buhay ko and I don't complain dahil 'yon ang gusto ko.... I love my kids so much, sobrang source of joy.  Talagang, alam mo 'yon, nakakatuwa talaga kasi first day in the morning, una mong makikita 'yong anak mo.  Ang saya-saya!"

Ina said it was not really hard to raise three children. 

Her advice: "You know, you should always have a balance, di ba?  Kailangan strict ka, assertive ka na when you say 'No', you have to mean it.  But at the same time, you have to be fun-loving and 'yong cool.  Parang alam nila na hindi ka lang monster and hindi ka lang kaibigan, kailangan mayroon balance talaga sa pagpapalaki ng bata."

Is sibling rivalry an issue among her kids?

Never, Ina said. "Ang nakakatuwa nga sa mga anak ko, sa dalawa, kahapon sinabi ng boy ko, 'I wanna have 10.  Can you have ten babies?'  'Tapos 'yong panganay ko naman, 'I wanna have one more.'  So, the fact na naghahanap pa sila ng more babies, meaning, walang jealousy. 

"Kasi, di ba, kapag jealous sila, 'No more, you don't have time for us anymore. Ayaw na namin ng babies.'  Sa kanila, baligtad, mas gusto pa nila nang mas marami.  Sobrang nakakakilig ng puso.  Ibig sabihin happy sila na marami silang kapatid."

After giving birth to her fourth child, whom they will welcome next month, Ina has decided to take another vacation from work to give her full attention to her daughter.
