"MABUHAY! representing the democratic and freedom loving people of the pearl of
the orient, i am precious lara quigaman, from the beautiful country of THE
PHILIPPINES"


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

A: "i take no offence on being typecasted as a nanny. But i do take offence that
the educated people of the world have somehow denigrated the true sense and
meaning of what a nanny is. let me tell you what she is. she is someone who
gives more than she takes. She is someone you trust 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 of caring and loving other people. so to those who
have typecasted us as nannies, thank you. it is a testament to the loving and
caring culture of the Filipino people. and for that, i am forever proud and
grateful of my roots and culture."
