Naniniwala ako na mas nabigyan ko ng sapat at balanseng oras ang pag-aalaga sa aking asawa at mga anak at ang pagiging researcher ko sa opisina kahit na may pandemya.

Ang pandemya ay hindi naging hadlang upang itigil ang galaw sa bawat araw, bagkus ito ay isang gintong pagkakataon na naging malapit sa isa’t isa ang bawat miyembro ng pamilya

Na balanse ko ang trabaho at panahon sa pamilya sa pamagitan ng self-discipline and leadership.
