Susan Enriquez recalls selling banana cue as a child to help her family

Susan Enriquez looked back on her life before she became the award-winning journalist she is today.

In the latest episode of "Your Honor," hosted by Chariz Solomon and Buboy Villar, the Kapuso journalist opened up about her childhood, recalling how she grew up in poverty and sold food to help support her family.

"Mahirap na pamilya lang kami. Bata pa lang ako, nagtitinda nga ako ng mga banana cue. Tapos namumorsyento ako," Susan said.

"Gusto ko talaga kumita, kasi nga mahirap kami," she added.

From selling banana cue, Susan later began helping out in their small carinderia as she grew older. She even sold cooked meals in the market, working from six in the evening until six in the morning to help her family make ends meet.

"Nung nag-second year college na ako, nag-apply ako ng scholarship doon sa school. Awa naman ng Diyos, nakapasa ako sa scholarship," Susan said.

"So, nag-working student na lang ako sa school. 'Yung tindahan namin, umuuwi na lang ako pagka... pumupunta na lang ako doon pag Friday, Saturday, saka Sunday. Doon ako tumutulong sa pagtitinda," she continued.

Susan currently hosts "Unang Hirit" and the GMA Public Affairs program "IJuander." —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News
