“Ang gusto lang naman namin makita ng mga bata na sharing is caring. Makita ng mga bata na sila din pamarisan nila pagdating ng panahon na every time birthday nila, hindi naman kailangan na bongga-bongga yung mga kuan, importante maka-share ka at maging panata nila yon. Kasi mas masarap talaga magbigay kaysa ikaw ang binibigyan,” Melai said.

“Good health kasi ‘di ba minsan yung sinasabi natin sa araw-araw paggising natin may problema tayo, yung trabaho natin iniisip natin problema natin. Wag mong hintayin na dumating yung panahon na isa na lang ang problema mo at yun ang health mo ‘di ba? So, for me, health is wealth talaga. Ikaw ang pinakamayaman na tao pag naeenjoy mo ang pag stay mo dito sa mundo.”
