But on January 2013 Gacuan decided to give up the rice aid saying, “My eldest child was employed then, he told me to give up the rice since he now have an income. We are still luckier than other people who really have nothing.”
Ngunit noong Enero 2013, nagpasya si Gacuan na ipahinto na ang tulong na bigas sa kanila nang sinabi niyang, “May trabaho na ang panganay kong anak at sinabi niya rin sa akin na ihinto na ang bigas dahil kumikita na siya. Maswerte pa rin kami kaysa sa ibang tao na walang-wala.”
