Magkakausap kami lagi sa video call, ganyan. Pero iba pa rin yung makakuwentuhan mo sila ng harap-harapan. Yung masabi mo yung mga problema mo harap harapan. Iba yung comfort na nabibigay nila, lalo kung physically. Kapag natapos ko siguro yung work and magkaroon ng bakanteng time talaga na mahaba, sobrang gusto ko pumunta sa US.”</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DR6ouT3E8uo/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A186073.3%2C%22ls%22%3A183257%2C%22le%22%3A183643.39999999997%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Carmina Villarroel</strong></div><p>“I want to reconnect with two people, my mom and my dad.
