"I don’t consider it utang na loob (debt of gratitude). I don’t feel like it’s my obligation to take care of my parents now that they’re older just because they raised me and paid for my education. This is not so different from your relationship to your husband or wife. In marriage, you signed a contract and made your vows to be with each other no matter what. To me, these are just promises, and you have a choice not to keep them. However, if you decide to keep them, it’s because of love. You are shown love, and so you love back."
