We have building homes, education, livelihood projects, and we also have hospital financial assistance,&quot; she relayed.</p><p>Patricia explained that her desire to help others stems from her own experience of growing up with limited resources. Before entering show business, the actress came from humble beginnings.</p><p>&quot;Hindi naman ako nagbibigay dahil akala mo marami ako o meron ako. Nagbibigay ako dahil alam ko &#x27;yung pakiramdam ng wala ka, ng walang gustong tumulong sa&#x27;yo,&quot; she said. &quot;So ngayon meron akong parang ability na mag-give back o tumulong sa kaya kong way, parang ang laking [bagay] sa akin &#x27;yun dahil naiisip ko nung time ko eh na nandun ako sa sitwasyon kung gaano kahirap.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-20" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7fj-s0vZnH/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A20%2C%22os%22%3A28759103.4%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="945" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-20" 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><p>In the same interview, Patricia also reflected on the most important life lessons she’s learned over the years.</p><p>&quot;Siguro isa sa natutunan ko sa buhay &#x27;yung huwag kang susuko hangga&#x27;t may hininga ka, hangga&#x27;t may buhay ka, kaya mong gawin &#x27;yung mga bagay na mga dreams mo sa buhay, basta you always have good intention sa lahat ng ginagawa mo sa buhay,&quot; she said.</p><p>In a previous interview with Korina Sanchez on NET25, Patricia and Rob shared the journey that led their family to settle down in the Philippines after residing in the US for years.</p><p>Rob recalled the moment he felt a shift in his life and decided it was time for something new. &quot;We had a nice life there, I was taking care of people. However, I kind of felt like I could be doing more,&quot; he recounted. &quot;So I sold my clinic... Around that same time, somebody bought our house so it was kind of like we were free. We really didn&#x27;t have any responsibilities.&quot;</p><p>With no pressing responsibilities tying them down, Rob and Patricia decided to embark on an adventure. &quot;We figured hey let&#x27;s go to the Philippines and maybe for six months or one year, and just kind of live that adventure for a while. Let the kids experience the Philippines,&quot; he said.</p><p>But what was meant to be a temporary stay turned into something much more meaningful.</p><p>&quot;It started off just doing charity events. We were going around doing chiropractic at gyms and barangays, that was really fun and spreading this chiropractic message,&quot; he recounted. &quot;And just that appreciation and the way people felt, that was quite a great feeling again that I experienced.&quot;</p><p>The couple eventually realized they wanted to stay in the Philippines.</p>
