Because though she doesnt own much financially, she manages to help them in their time of need. Most of them recall at one point they asked her to loan them money for baon and pamasahe. She never did make lista any of those. She didnt mind if they ever paid. According to her, shes glad to have helped. She never had a degree and being of help to these kids who are trying to earn their degree for a brighter future makes her happy. Through selling peanuts outside the campus, she was able to send all her kids to school and it brings a smile on her face to be able to give a little help to other kids too.
