Ako nagda-dine lang, and then I see all the families having dinner together, but not ‘together.’ ‘Yung dad nasa phone, ‘yung mom nasa phone, ‘yung isang baby nasa iPad, ‘yung mas maliit nanonood ng TV,” she mentioned.

“Because we’re the transition generation. We went from no phones to having everything at the tip of your fingers, with AI pa lalo ngayon. I don’t know. Of course, there [are] so many great things you can do if you use it the right way, the technology. But I just want to go back to the past,” she added.
