“Bilang part po ng youth, naiintindihan ko po ang importansya ng Wi-Fi para sa ating araw-araw na pamumuhay. Sa eskwelahan ng bata, sa trabaho, at sa negosyo. Sa mga ate at kuya ko diyan na may trabaho sa umaga at sa gabi ay nagla-live selling pa (As part of the youth sector, I understand the importance of having reliable internet connection in our day-to-day living for the school work of the kids, at work, and for the business, as well as for my sisters and brothers in the crowd tonight with day job and live selling gig at night).
