Q: "what do you say to the people of the world who have typecastedfilipinos as nannies?"

A: "i take no offence on being typecasted as a nanny. But i do takeoffence that the educated people of the world have somehow denegratedthe true sense and meaning of what a nanny is. let me tell you what sheis. she is someone who gives more than she takes. She is someone youtrust to look after the very people most precious to you - your child,the elderly, yourself. she is the one who has made a living out ofcaring and loving other people. so to those who have typecasted us asnannies, thank you. it is a testament to the loving and caring cultureof the Filipino people. and for that, i am forever proud and grateful ofmy roots and culture."
