As their savings were already used up, Opiana and his three siblings were not able to sustain studying in a private school and transferred in a public school. “Sometimes I walk to school or skip eating breakfast just to save money,” he narrates.
Dahil nagamit na ang kanilang mga naipon, si Opiana at ang kanyang tatlong kapatid ay hindi na naipagpatuloy ang pag-aaral sa pribadong paaralan at lumipat na sa publikong paaralan. “Minsan naglalakad lang ako kung papasok o hindi mag-aalmusal upang makatipid ng pera,” pagbabahagi niya.
