“The biggest challenge of being a politician is motherhood. It’s time management,” confided the Davao city mayor. “Yun yung pinakamalaki. Kaya ganito kami. Hindi ko sila maiwan. Hindi ko maiwan more than one night. Kunwari, aalis ako. One night lang, kailangan kong bumalik.”
(The biggest challenge of being a politician is motherhood. It’s time management. That’s the biggest. That’s why we are the way we are. I can’t leave them. I can’t leave them for more than one night. Whenever I leave, it can’t be more than one night. I have to come home.)
