She added, “How are they doing? Who are underwater for too long? Who needs help? Do I need to dive right now to pull them out to the surface because they are losing the strength to go on? How can I help them?”
Further, she added that It’s not an easy task, especially since there are so many loved ones she must constantly watch out for, and sometimes she needs to be “rescued.” But that is a role she has entirely accepted in this life as a mom, daughter, sister and mentor. She takes full responsibility for this.

Have a strong support system: Family, Friends, Colleagues, and Mentors who will guide and pull you up when you are down. Who is your Coach, Andrea, in life? Ako ang dami. Grateful for these people in my life. And I hope I am also Coach Andrea in theirs.”
