Amy of The Little Dreamers guested on Billy Crawford's Uberture yesterday as part of her bagging the Outstanding Little Dreamer award last Saturday together with Philip. I'm sure many viewers have felt the way I did when her story was unfolded to the public. Amy is a 6 year-old kid from Las Piñas City, stricken with poverty.She received a gift of bicycle for getting the highest score last gala night and she was so thankful of it on the interview saying that she had always wanted a bicycle because she and her brother never had one. She even said, "kasi po mahirap lang po kami".
Uberture went to Amy's house to interview her and her family. They even prepared a video clip of Amy riding the pink bike with her little brother on the streets of a not so pleasant neighborhood. The backdrop of the interview was Amy's house, which has lumang yero (used galvanized iron sheets) as walls. That made me realize why Amy has colds ever since the competition started.
Her father works as a construction worker and her mother says that her husband's salary can only go as far as food for their table.
Gusto ko pong magka-kotse saka bahay saka tv kasi po 'yong tv namin naibenta na.
Amy is only 6 years old. A small, thin child with big dreams. I know her story has touched many hearts, as it has touched mine. Watching her performances will never be the same again.
