Ayon kay Francine, ang isa sa mga bagay na nagbibigay motibasyon sa kaniya para magtrabaho ng mabuti at gawin ng maayos ang kaniyang trabaho ay dahil nasaksihan niya ang hirap na dinanas ng kaniyang mga magulang pagdating sa pinansyal na aspeto.
Sa isang panayam, muling binalikan ng ‘Kadenang Ginto’ star ang mga panahon na sila ay muntikan ng manirahan sa kalye dahil hindi na nila kaya pang bayaran ang renta ng tinitirhan nila.
Pagbabahagi niya,
“Nalubog kami nu’n sa utang. Palagi kami napuputulan ng kuryente, ng tubig. Tapos nakailang lipat din po kami ng bahay kasi napapalayas kami.”
Dagdag pa niya,
“Pero hindi naman po ‘yung pinalalayas na pinalalabas kami bigla ng bahay. Kumbaga, pinapaalis kami kasi hindi na talaga kayang bayaran ‘yung renta.”
Dumating din sa punto na siya ay nag-aaral nang walang libro at napakahirap para sa kaniya na masundan ang kanilang mga lessons o inaaral.
Aniya,
“Nu’ng first year [high school] ako, wala akong libro. Wala kaming pambili ng libro nu’n. Kaya ‘yun po siguro ‘yung mga challenges na hinarap namin dati sa buhay.”
Pagpapatuloy pa ni Francine, ito ang naging wake up call niya para mag-audition pa at gawin pa ang lahat ng kaniyang makakaya.
“Nu’ng mga time na ‘yun nasa isip ko kailangan ko ng trabaho, kailangan kong matulungan sina mama. Dati ko pa po talaga gusto mag-artista.”
Ayon kay Francine, ang unang trabaho umano niya ang isa sa mga bagay na pinaka iingatan niya at hindi malilimutan.
“Bata pa po kasi ako nu’n. Hindi ko alam kung magkano kinita ko. Pero ‘yung pinakaunang-unang trabaho ko po, AVP po siya ng car. Pero di ko po alam kung gaano kalaki sahod ko du’n.
“Ang natatandaan ko po nagpabili ako kay Mama ng maliit na cellphone. Tapos meron pang antenna. So may TV ‘yung cellphone ‘yun. Masaya kasi hindi ko alam na kaya ko pala kumita ng pera na pwede kong mabigay kina mama.”
