This is one of the best OPM songs I have heard here in our country Philippines not only in its message about their children but also in the parents who persevered and nurtured to provide for the needs of their livelihoods. I can not help to be emotional in this song. This song reflects on me and my mother who went through a lot just to have a good life. It also impresses on my mind that our parents can do everything for our good. serves as a way for us to cross our destination.

English Version
This song really needs to be heard by the majority because to make them aware of the fact that we need to value our parents because they are willing to suffer just to provide for our needs. They are happy to see that we are full even if they are real are hungry. They do everything no matter what happens for the good life of their children. Our parents are one of the best blessings that come in our lives so we need to appreciate them because we do not know how long we can be with them.
We children should love our parents more. Friends and other things we can replace or find again but our parents are only one and once they are gone we can never replace them. Everyone will leave us but no matter what happens our parents will not leave us. It is true that there are parents who leave their child but I want to say that these people do not have the right to be called a parent. Any hardship, any pain the parent should strive for for their children. This is the task assigned to us and we must fulfill it fully.
"While we still have time to love and show our love for our parents because through it we somehow get back what they did to us."
