A testimony from Dastynne dela Cruz, 16, father in US:

                “I pity [Bryan] because it took him so long before he met our father. He only saw him when he was already five years old. I feel that I should help my mother because I’m the oldest and my brothers are still young. That also pushed me to be more mature and responsible with myself.”

A testimony from Baj Salamera, 16, aunt in Japan:

                "It has been a long while since my auntie moved to Japan. It was difficult, especially for my grandmother because she misses her daughter so much. My auntie rarely returns here, we only chat and talk on the phone at times. But there was one time when we surprised my grandmother and made auntie return here. You can see the joy and surprise on their faces. I believe that it made them stronger and closer to each other. Even though my grandmother is gone now, we still convince my auntie to settle in the Philippines, so that our family may be complete again. "
