00:00:00 Feeling blue or sad are those who plan to swim in this beach in Barangay Lumbokan in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte in Mindanao.
00:00:11 Because their sea is just a few minutes away.
00:00:15 The fish are all caught in one go.
00:00:19 Jellyfish attack.
00:00:20 It's raining.
00:00:21 We're afraid to swim because it's dangerous to our body.
00:00:28 But the residents are more concerned about the jellyfish.
00:00:32 They don't usually see the black or colorless ones, but the blue ones.
00:00:39 It's raining.
00:00:40 Where is Lumbokan?
00:00:42 This time, I was afraid because there are a lot of blue jellyfish.
00:00:47 Attack of the blue jellyfish.
00:00:52 The jellyfish or "dikya" of Butuan City in Agusan del Norte in Mindanao are very cute.
00:01:00 They are all together and blue.
00:01:03 But they are still alert because of these.
00:01:08 They are fierce.
00:01:09 What happened?
00:01:10 I'm a blue jellyfish.
00:01:12 According to Parly, they call these jellyfish "bongkatol" in their place.
00:01:19 We were surprised because there are a lot of them.
00:01:22 I've seen blue jellyfish before, but not that many.
00:01:25 It's 16 centimeters in size.
00:01:29 It has a head like an umbrella that illuminates or shines under water.
00:01:35 The symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae gives color to jellyfish.
00:01:41 This algae gives color and food to jellyfish.
00:01:48 The blue jellyfish that we saw in Lumbokan is Achromytoides purpurus.
00:01:55 It also has a sting, but it's just mild.
00:01:58 Although it looks like a catfish, don't be fooled.
00:02:03 It's a bit like a fish that likes to swim.
00:02:06 So, let's just swim first.
00:02:08 The algae of "bongkatol" or Achromytoides purpurus
00:02:13 contains toxins or toxins that can cause nausea and vomiting when they get close to our skin.
00:02:22 Jellyfish have nematocysts or stinging cells.
00:02:27 They use them to stun, capture, and eventually eat their prey.
00:02:33 This can cause an allergic reaction.
00:02:38 Cindy is afraid that her two children will get stuck here when they swim in the sea.
00:02:44 I got a stick and I threw it into the sea to cover the trash.
00:02:48 But...
00:02:49 The stick slipped.
00:02:51 The wet jellyfish saliva splashed into my eyes.
00:02:55 It's like my eyes were covered with chili.
00:02:57 It's very itchy. It hurts to close my eyes.
00:03:00 Cindy immediately applied first aid or first-aid to her left eye.
00:03:06 I applied cold compress.
00:03:08 When I got home, I washed my eyes with water.
00:03:11 Cindy's eyes were swollen for two days.
00:03:14 It was like I was being stabbed.
00:03:16 For the last three days, I didn't have any symptoms.
00:03:18 That's why I didn't go to the doctor.
00:03:20 If there's a little bit of salt water on your eyes, you should wash it with salt water.
00:03:26 If you wash it completely, it will take 30 seconds to 1 minute.
00:03:31 You should take it to the hospital immediately.
00:03:32 Jonas is a fisherman.
00:03:34 His life was ruined because of the flood of jellyfish.
00:03:38 They can't swim because there are a lot of jellyfish.
00:03:43 When they swim, they catch jellyfish.
00:03:45 There are a lot of jellyfish here.
00:03:47 It's very wide here.
00:03:48 It can reach up to 12 feet.
00:03:50 Before, they catch 10 to 20 kilos of fish every day.
00:03:55 You can earn 5,000 pesos a day.
00:03:57 But now...
00:03:58 Some people get into trouble.
00:03:59 They don't get anything.
00:04:00 They just get 1 kilo or 1.5 kilos.
00:04:03 That's why some people are desperate.
00:04:05 They discard their jobs.
00:04:07 That's why some people work in construction.
00:04:10 I borrowed a fish from a fishmonger.
00:04:12 The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources has livelihood assistance.
00:04:18 They can help the LGUs.
00:04:22 I need to take a bath.
00:04:24 Jellyfish attack.
00:04:25 Not only the livelihood of the affected LGUs, but also their lives.
00:04:30 This morning, March 24,
00:04:34 the children of Renon and Priscilla, who are April's parents,
00:04:38 took a bath on the beach near their house in Araceli, Palawan.
00:04:43 But less than an hour after the child left.
00:04:46 We were called to the house.
00:04:50 My child was disfigured.
00:04:53 April's left arm was stabbed by a fish called "salabay".
00:04:59 Unlike the blue jellyfish of the boat,
00:05:02 its head is white and the fins are brown.
00:05:06 In English, it is known as box jellyfish.
00:05:09 It is one of the most dangerous species of jellyfish.
00:05:13 The one who was left on the beach,
00:05:15 the one who was left behind, went to the sea.
00:05:19 Actually, the first aid that can be done is to pour acetic acid or vinegar for 30 seconds
00:05:25 for the quick release of its tentacles.
00:05:28 Or, it can be reversed with hot water that does not get in.
00:05:32 April was immediately taken to the Rural Health Unit or RHU of Araceli.
00:05:38 We just saw Neneng, he was already in the OCD.
00:05:41 They just pumped my child.
00:05:43 His arm was almost black.
00:05:44 His arm length was about 6 inches.
00:05:48 He was also brought back to life.
00:05:50 The cause of April's death was anaphylactic shock,
00:05:57 secondary to jellyfish sting.
00:05:59 We call it severe allergic reaction.
00:06:02 The venom of the box jellyfish is particularly severe.
00:06:06 It has a lot of different types of proteins that are combined.
00:06:09 Now, all of their effects are at the same time.
00:06:11 [Music]
00:06:18 Mother, you are happy now.
00:06:20 Wherever you are.
00:06:22 My child is fine now.
00:06:24 He is in a good condition now.
00:06:28 Meanwhile, to create the so-called physiochemical parameters,
00:06:35 the BFAR or Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in the Caraga Region
00:06:41 headed to Barangay Lumbukan to see the increase of blue jellyfish there.
00:06:47 To know its water quality in terms of the list of oxygen,
00:06:54 ammonia, and other nutrients in the water.
00:07:01 The reason why our temperature is so hot now,
00:07:05 in the previous weeks, our heat index was around 40 to 42.
00:07:11 Based on the biology of jellyfish, the hot temperature is really favorable.
00:07:16 It is also an indicator that when jellyfish come out,
00:07:21 there are not many predators eating them.
00:07:25 It is really hard to address climate change
00:07:27 to restore the balance in our ecosystem.
00:07:30 Fisheries management is really needed.
00:07:33 Meanwhile, so that no one will be disgraced by the Bungkatol,
00:07:39 I tell the people to watch the coastline,
00:07:43 to see if there are any fish and the president,
00:07:46 they automatically go there in the morning.
00:07:49 To those who are still chasing the outing,
00:07:53 be careful with the fishermen.
00:07:56 They don't have any debts if they come to our shores.
00:08:01 Their possible destination is like they have already robbed us.
00:08:10 In Sultan Kudarat, they have a doctor,
00:08:21 although not a doctor, but a faith healer.
00:08:26 And what he uses to diagnose diseases, eggs.
00:08:31 The eggs of the questions will definitely be the ones to be sent to this compound in South Cotabato.
00:08:39 There is a blue container here,
00:08:43 which contains 500 eggshells.
00:08:49 And all of these were collected by Rodelio.
00:08:52 It's already broken, so there are some left.
00:08:55 But he will not make Leche Flan, especially he doesn't waste food.
00:09:01 He uses these eggs for medicine.
00:09:06 Come on, this is the one that will help. Come here, look up.
00:09:09 Mother.
00:09:12 Mother.
00:09:15 By breaking the eggs,
00:09:19 he can diagnose the disease of his patient.
00:09:23 Like a scan or x-ray.
00:09:26 He's a prostitute, sir.
00:09:29 He's a prostitute.
00:09:31 He has UTI.
00:09:33 He has a lot of problems, like breast cancer, gout, and also almorhanas.
00:09:38 He even has a bone.
00:09:39 He's in surgery.
00:09:40 We want to help our family, sir.
00:09:42 For him, he's not a pregnant woman, he's a woman.
00:09:44 I don't want to have a bone,
00:09:46 because it's back to normal.
00:09:49 Is this a foundation or just a piece of wood for medicine?
00:09:54 It's only 3 o'clock in the early morning.
00:10:00 One by one, the people who wanted Rodelio to be consulted came.
00:10:05 Or Doc Lot Lot, if they call it.
00:10:08 Each patient has their own eggs, which is a requirement for those who will be treated.
00:10:15 You're the patient, you bring the eggs.
00:10:17 There are eggs in a bag, one on each side.
00:10:18 It's prohibited to take it.
00:10:19 That's why this store is near Rodelio's clinic.
00:10:24 The income is like eggs.
00:10:27 We're very big.
00:10:28 Before, one week, we had 10 trays.
00:10:30 When we have a schedule, the most we have here is 20 trays.
00:10:35 One day.
00:10:36 At 5 in the morning, the treatment started.
00:10:40 Julie,
00:10:45 because she can't walk after she got a stroke,
00:10:50 is in a wheelchair and her father, Adolfo, is pushing her.
00:10:54 My friend got a treatment here,
00:10:56 and she's getting better, but this is just temporary.
00:10:58 God has mercy on her.
00:10:59 I hope she gets better.
00:11:01 What's wrong?
00:11:02 Her chest is so swollen.
00:11:06 The eggs they brought,
00:11:12 Rodelio put them on different parts of Julie's body.
00:11:16 It's like an X-ray or a body scan.
00:11:20 The eggs were broken,
00:11:22 the flesh was swallowed by Rodelio using his hands.
00:11:25 I'm looking for water.
00:11:28 I'm looking for water.
00:11:31 I'm looking for water.
00:11:32 I'm looking for water.
00:11:33 The eggs were swallowed by Rodelio using his hands.
00:11:36 The eggs were swallowed by Rodelio using his hands.
00:11:37 She can't eat animals,
00:11:39 she can't eat animals,
00:11:40 because it's a disease that affects humans.
00:11:42 Julie will have surgery soon,
00:11:46 but she didn't cut her.
00:11:48 Her neck,
00:11:57 her hands,
00:11:58 My neck, my neck.
00:12:01 Try to lift your shoulders.
00:12:06 Even Julie's mouth was cut.
00:12:10 My neck.
00:12:14 My neck.
00:12:22 And it's like Rodelio tied her up.
00:12:25 Even though he didn't hold any knife or scissors.
00:12:29 Next thing he did was to make Julie drink a bottle of wine.
00:12:35 She was drinking a lot,
00:12:37 she drank 200 bottles of wine.
00:12:38 She didn't eat anything.
00:12:40 She didn't eat anything.
00:12:44 She didn't eat anything.
00:12:45 She's looking for food.
00:12:46 After their healing session,
00:12:50 Julie's aura became brighter.
00:12:54 My God.
00:12:56 Stroke is a medical emergency for us.
00:13:00 If we don't get treatment,
00:13:02 we will have a deficit that we're hiding.
00:13:04 And we'll just be in a daze,
00:13:05 we won't be able to help.
00:13:07 Every Monday,
00:13:08 Thursday,
00:13:09 and Saturday,
00:13:10 almost 300 people come to this compound
00:13:13 to get treatment.
00:13:14 The compound is owned by the former patient, Riza,
00:13:18 and her mister, Jinky.
00:13:20 Riza had a myoma or a tumor in her uterus.
00:13:24 My stomach is sticking.
00:13:27 But she didn't get a consultation from a doctor.
00:13:30 Because I don't want to repeat what happened to my mom.
00:13:34 She was a victim of hospital negligence and malpractice.
00:13:38 The captain there said that it's better there
00:13:43 because the treatment is cheap.
00:13:45 The treatment is spiritual.
00:13:46 And after the two sessions,
00:13:48 I didn't feel anything.
00:13:50 I didn't feel anything.
00:13:51 I was amazed.
00:13:52 I was like, "Wow, the pain is gone."
00:13:54 But because Rodelio's house is 3 hours away,
00:13:58 the wife of Sultan Kudaratpa
00:14:01 decided to make the compound
00:14:04 the treatment for more people to help.
00:14:08 I just visited Ilaha.
00:14:10 I didn't pay anything.
00:14:11 They're the only ones who voted.
00:14:12 Do they think I'm a donation?
00:14:13 Annalyn followed up and checked up.
00:14:16 She told Rodelio that she decided to get her uterus treated
00:14:21 which she's been having for 17 years.
00:14:25 I went to the doctor in August last year.
00:14:28 The doctor held me tightly.
00:14:30 I didn't have a hard time breathing.
00:14:32 I felt better.
00:14:33 Annalyn's two uterus were gone
00:14:36 a few months after her first session with Rodelio.
00:14:40 So now, she visits here every month
00:14:43 to make sure that her uterus hasn't returned.
00:14:46 She only comes back once every 4 months.
00:14:48 She also regularly takes the medicines that Rodelio gave her.
00:14:53 I just take a coffee and then I take my medicine.
00:14:57 The cyst can shrink.
00:14:59 It depends on the contents.
00:15:00 There will be liquid inside.
00:15:02 It can be reduced.
00:15:03 But the cyst's capsule will suddenly disappear.
00:15:07 It's not just a small one.
00:15:08 Efelya's 31-year-old daughter, Jofel,
00:15:13 hasn't been able to speak since she was a child.
00:15:16 I asked her what happened to her.
00:15:18 Is it really a cyst?
00:15:19 I gave her medicine.
00:15:21 Within 5 or 6 years, she was cured.
00:15:25 But the doctor didn't treat her condition.
00:15:29 Until she heard about Rodelio's treatment.
00:15:33 We used to work together.
00:15:36 He told me that there's a medicine.
00:15:39 I said, "I'll try it."
00:15:41 After their first session with Rodelio,
00:15:44 Come on, let's put this inside.
00:15:46 Come, let's look at it.
00:15:47 Just last month, Jofel was diagnosed with a cyst that can't speak.
00:15:51 She's pregnant.
00:15:53 She's pregnant.
00:15:54 Pregnant.
00:15:56 Pregnant.
00:15:57 Come here.
00:15:58 Come here.
00:15:59 Pregnant.
00:16:00 Pregnant.
00:16:01 Pregnant.
00:16:02 Pregnant.
00:16:03 Pregnant.
00:16:04 Within 31 years,
00:16:07 she's been saying, "Mama, Papa, and Dad."
00:16:10 Her words are all in a straight line.
00:16:12 For 31 years, I thought she wouldn't be able to speak.
00:16:15 That's it, forever.
00:16:17 But now, I have something for her.
00:16:20 This is false.
00:16:21 Since birth, she hasn't been able to form a language.
00:16:24 Then suddenly, she knows how to speak.
00:16:27 The cyst may cause complications.
00:16:30 There are many structures attached to the cyst.
00:16:33 It can hurt, it can be painful.
00:16:35 Even though her patients call him a doctor,
00:16:40 he's not a licensed doctor.
00:16:43 He only knows how to give medicine to his grandfather.
00:16:48 When I was 10 years old, my brother helped me.
00:16:55 He says he can give medicine to his grandfather,
00:16:58 by what he calls "tiwata."
00:17:01 In the history of tiwata,
00:17:03 he's the only one who gave medicine to his grandfather in the Philippines.
00:17:07 But not everyone believes Rodelio.
00:17:10 Like his patient, Emy,
00:17:13 who doubts the ability of a licensed doctor.
00:17:17 I felt like I couldn't stand.
00:17:19 My feet were weak.
00:17:21 Someone recommended me to go to the dentist.
00:17:24 I followed his advice.
00:17:25 But nothing happened.
00:17:27 I have a cyst, ma'am.
00:17:31 I have to go to the dentist.
00:17:32 It's a prostate.
00:17:34 But is it possible to see the pain of a person
00:17:40 from the inside of an egg?
00:17:42 She doesn't have the capacity to know the pain,
00:17:45 like an X-ray.
00:17:47 If the egg is not preserved well,
00:17:50 it can affect the inside of the egg,
00:17:54 or the formation of egg yolk or egg white.
00:17:56 There may be fungi that grow there,
00:18:01 and we drink it.
00:18:03 We should remember that everything we put in our body
00:18:06 is processed by our blood.
00:18:08 And this could be the cause of our illness.
00:18:10 Most of the people who believe in them
00:18:15 are not able to access public medicine.
00:18:21 At the same time, they don't have enough money.
00:18:24 So sometimes they go there
00:18:26 and they pour their belief that they can be cured.
00:18:30 There's a placebo effect
00:18:32 where you believe in a person or a treatment,
00:18:36 and then you have an expected effect in the alveoli
00:18:39 because they believe in it.
00:18:41 If you don't believe in it, you can't get it.
00:18:45 It's better to believe in yourself
00:18:47 than in others.
00:18:49 I always tell my patients
00:18:52 that the rural health unit is free to consult.
00:18:56 And usually, if there's a medicine that's available,
00:18:59 it's still free to give.
00:19:01 Most of the people who go to Rodelio
00:19:05 don't have a hospital fee
00:19:07 or a doctor's license.
00:19:10 They only have money to buy eggs.
00:19:13 So they cling to him.
00:19:16 When it comes to the health of the patient,
00:19:20 people who go to the doctor
00:19:22 or to the hospital
00:19:24 are often considered
00:19:26 as a fool
00:19:28 who can't afford it.
00:19:36 This Mother's Day,
00:19:38 an old story of a man from Cavite
00:19:41 who, in order to make his mother feel loved,
00:19:46 tattooed his body with his own hand.
00:19:52 To those who have already had their tattoos tattooed,
00:19:55 what's the story behind your tattoos?
00:19:58 My husband and I are a Japanese couple.
00:20:03 It's a tradition.
00:20:04 It's a Filipino culture.
00:20:05 This is my husband's name.
00:20:06 My first love.
00:20:07 It's a tradition, but it's true.
00:20:09 24-year-old Tui,
00:20:12 the design of his first tattoo
00:20:15 is not a face or any image,
00:20:17 but
00:20:18 the most important thing is his old body or handwriting.
00:20:26 How are you, children?
00:20:27 Thank you for your prayers for your mother.
00:20:30 Continue that,
00:20:31 you will learn to pray to God.
00:20:33 We love you so much.
00:20:35 Always have fear of God
00:20:37 so that you won't commit a sin.
00:20:39 These are the last memories of his mother Joy Ann
00:20:44 before she died of cervical cancer.
00:20:47 It's been more than a decade.
00:20:50 I love you, Nac.
00:20:51 I'm proud of you and your brother, Brian,
00:20:53 because you already know how to pray.
00:20:56 Always be thankful to God
00:20:58 for all the blessings.
00:21:00 Keep on praying, brother.
00:21:02 Miss you, Nac.
00:21:03 Love, Mama.
00:21:05 Today is Mother's Day.
00:21:08 Did you say everything you wanted to say to your mother?
00:21:12 Tui lives here in Baco, Orcavite
00:21:19 with his brother, Brian,
00:21:21 and his nephew, Bea.
00:21:24 My main goal now is
00:21:26 to be as one.
00:21:28 That's my mother's only wish
00:21:30 that we won't fight.
00:21:32 This is what Tui thought of
00:21:34 last year when he wanted to get a tattoo.
00:21:36 I'm already thinking of a design.
00:21:37 I have a list on my phone
00:21:39 of designs I see.
00:21:40 Animals like lions,
00:21:42 goats,
00:21:43 but I don't feel like it.
00:21:45 I want something memorable in my life
00:21:47 and it became a part of my life
00:21:49 when I got my first tattoo.
00:21:51 Until someone cut him off
00:21:55 from his drawer.
00:21:57 I saw my old wallet.
00:21:59 I opened it and saw the letter.
00:22:01 His mother wrote it
00:22:04 a few months before he was born.
00:22:06 She wrote it.
00:22:07 She was on dextrose at that time.
00:22:09 Nac, please understand my letter.
00:22:12 Mama's hand will be cut off
00:22:14 because of the tattoo, Nac.
00:22:15 She apologized for the letter
00:22:17 because she was confused
00:22:19 when she wrote it.
00:22:20 She was already hearing.
00:22:21 Her hand was already numb.
00:22:24 I was trying to cover it up
00:22:26 so it wouldn't get damaged.
00:22:31 I was hiding it in my wallet.
00:22:34 We read it over and over again.
00:22:37 It had the same effect
00:22:38 on the three of us.
00:22:39 It was like we were being crushed.
00:22:41 My mother left nothing.
00:22:43 Just the letter.
00:22:45 This is what I will take care of
00:22:47 until I grow up.
00:22:48 So that he won't forget
00:22:51 what his mother bought him.
00:22:54 Just last month,
00:22:56 he decided to get a tattoo.
00:22:59 It was the first time
00:23:00 someone got a tattoo of that kind.
00:23:02 I was surprised.
00:23:03 I asked again,
00:23:04 "Are you sure you want a tattoo
00:23:05 of the whole letter?"
00:23:06 It's hard because
00:23:10 you need to know
00:23:11 the hand stroke of the letter.
00:23:13 You have to copy it.
00:23:15 It's complicated to get a tattoo of the ribs
00:23:17 because when a person breathes,
00:23:19 the carotid artery can get damaged.
00:23:21 It can get swollen.
00:23:22 While I was feeling the pain,
00:23:24 I remembered the times
00:23:26 when I was still fresh.
00:23:28 The time when he passed away.
00:23:30 I got a tattoo of him here
00:23:41 because the letter fits perfectly.
00:23:44 Tui was alone
00:23:46 with his mother, Joy Ann.
00:23:49 Because their relationship
00:23:51 was like that of their father.
00:23:52 Their mother accompanied
00:23:54 their nursing studies
00:23:56 and taking care of their siblings.
00:23:58 And even then,
00:24:00 they were really fond of
00:24:02 writing each other.
00:24:05 When he comes home,
00:24:06 he would be surprised
00:24:07 that we have something to give him.
00:24:09 Then he would read the three of us
00:24:11 the letter one by one.
00:24:12 When their mother, Joy Ann,
00:24:15 entered the nursing school,
00:24:17 she would always leave a letter for them.
00:24:20 But in 2008,
00:24:22 after graduating from nursing,
00:24:24 their mother's body suddenly collapsed.
00:24:27 She was weak and suddenly
00:24:29 she couldn't get up.
00:24:31 She was dizzy.
00:24:32 She couldn't sleep well
00:24:34 because of the pain.
00:24:35 We were thinking,
00:24:36 "What's happening?"
00:24:37 Of course, we were still young.
00:24:38 What we were thinking was,
00:24:39 "It's just a disease.
00:24:40 When they're brought to the hospital,
00:24:42 they'll be treated."
00:24:43 Their mother was diagnosed
00:24:45 with cervical cancer.
00:24:47 Tui was only 8 years old.
00:24:50 The pain that was imposed on me
00:24:53 and on my siblings was really severe.
00:24:55 When you go to school,
00:24:56 you see a lot of mothers
00:24:59 with their children.
00:25:00 They're strong and energetic.
00:25:01 I couldn't help it.
00:25:03 I couldn't help being jealous.
00:25:05 I would turn around.
00:25:06 When I turn around,
00:25:09 my mother was lying there.
00:25:12 Then,
00:25:13 they were brought to the hospital.
00:25:15 They were confined.
00:25:18 They were brought back
00:25:19 and checked up.
00:25:21 It was really hard for us.
00:25:23 The most painful part for me
00:25:25 was when she asked for forgiveness
00:25:28 because we couldn't enjoy our childhood.
00:25:32 We always told her,
00:25:34 "Of course, we're your children.
00:25:36 We're here.
00:25:37 Who else will help you
00:25:39 if not us?"
00:25:41 The most memorable thing for me
00:25:43 was her screaming.
00:25:44 It was so painful.
00:25:45 When she asked for help,
00:25:47 I prayed to the Lord
00:25:48 so that my mother would be safe.
00:25:50 Joy Ann was confined to the hospital
00:25:54 and because she was not allowed
00:25:56 to visit her children,
00:25:58 she told them
00:26:01 what she had told her before
00:26:04 to the doctors.
00:26:06 I was only 7 years old.
00:26:07 I didn't know where I was placed.
00:26:09 I was given a letter
00:26:11 but it was lost.
00:26:12 I remember what was written in the letter.
00:26:14 "Don't abandon my siblings.
00:26:16 Pray."
00:26:17 The letters were not followed.
00:26:21 When I went to the coronary,
00:26:24 the first thing I did
00:26:27 was to seal her nose.
00:26:29 That's when I realized
00:26:31 that my fingers were sinking.
00:26:38 I realized that she was gone.
00:26:43 I'm sorry.
00:26:48 I became emotional
00:26:58 because I remember the hardships,
00:27:01 the fatigue, the sacrifices,
00:27:04 the sleepless nights.
00:27:05 We were not like the others,
00:27:07 but my mother was.
00:27:08 Their mother, Joy Ann,
00:27:12 was buried on the 10th birthday of Tui.
00:27:16 When I left the house,
00:27:18 my mother's coffin was being carried
00:27:21 to the cemetery.
00:27:23 I don't remember my birthday.
00:27:25 Until now,
00:27:27 I can't forget that
00:27:30 my mother is always remembered
00:27:32 on my birthdays.
00:27:34 I'm always sad.
00:27:36 I'm always looking for her.
00:27:37 Since then,
00:27:38 the siblings have been standing on their own two feet.
00:27:43 When I was 17,
00:27:45 I was forced to work
00:27:47 even though my salary was low.
00:27:49 I was earning P100 per day.
00:27:54 I was trying to survive.
00:27:56 We were born early
00:28:00 in the real game of life.
00:28:02 You need to work hard.
00:28:04 You need to be able to meet
00:28:06 your daily needs.
00:28:08 We haven't graduated yet.
00:28:12 We only graduated from college.
00:28:16 The three of us are fighting
00:28:18 to get through.
00:28:19 I'm working as a data analyst.
00:28:22 My brother is a manager
00:28:25 in a fast food chain.
00:28:27 Our youngest is a call center agent.
00:28:30 In our lives,
00:28:31 the three of us
00:28:32 are still fighting for her.
00:28:34 We are still fighting
00:28:36 because of her discipline
00:28:38 and teaching us as kids.
00:28:40 Now,
00:28:42 because they are living in Cavite,
00:28:44 they haven't visited their mother's grave
00:28:48 yet.
00:28:50 This Mother's Day,
00:28:51 I want to visit her grave
00:28:54 and remember the memories
00:28:56 we have together.
00:28:58 That's why,
00:28:59 on Tuesday,
00:29:00 we accompanied them to bring this.
00:29:03 This time,
00:29:06 they have a letter
00:29:08 for their mother, Joy Ann.
00:29:10 Hi, Mom.
00:29:11 Thank you so much
00:29:12 for your support.
00:29:14 Even though you are poor and alone,
00:29:16 you taught us to be strong in life.
00:29:18 Until now,
00:29:19 we have each other.
00:29:21 And we know that you are with us
00:29:23 in our battles.
00:29:25 We miss you so much, Mom.
00:29:27 Dear Mom,
00:29:28 thank you so much for all your sacrifices
00:29:30 for us, your siblings.
00:29:32 I managed to guide my siblings
00:29:34 just like I promised you.
00:29:38 Dear Mom,
00:29:39 even though I have been with you for only 7 years,
00:29:41 I still brought all your teachings for us.
00:29:44 Happy, happy Mother's Day.
00:29:46 We can only go to the past
00:29:55 to experience love again, Mom.
00:29:58 We will do it.
00:30:00 I will say
00:30:02 1 million words of "I love you."
00:30:08 2 million?
00:30:09 Nothing.
00:30:11 That's not enough
00:30:13 to say
00:30:15 that I love my mother so much.
00:30:18 Don't forget that
00:30:20 your mother is always there for you.
00:30:22 No matter what happens,
00:30:23 I will never be able to compare
00:30:25 to the love of a mother.
00:30:28 I will love my mother like I love a statue
00:30:36 because she will never leave me.
00:30:38 She is always in my body,
00:30:40 in my mind,
00:30:41 in my whole being.
00:30:43 The love of a mother.
00:30:49 The love of a mother.
00:30:51 Marking
00:30:55 for a lifetime.
00:30:58 Climate change is real.
00:31:09 It cannot be denied.
00:31:11 Because of our excessive use of fossil fuels
00:31:15 like oil, gas, and coal,
00:31:18 the world is getting hotter.
00:31:20 It's raining.
00:31:22 The ice is melting in cold places.
00:31:25 As a result,
00:31:26 the water level in our oceans is increasing.
00:31:30 The former glaciers
00:31:32 are now submerged
00:31:34 just like some islands
00:31:36 here in Bohol province.
00:31:42 There are exactly 7,641 islands in the Philippines.
00:31:48 But the number of those
00:31:52 is decreasing.
00:31:54 Because there are many small islands
00:32:03 that are slowly being flooded by the sea.
00:32:06 It can be seen from our studies
00:32:08 that most of the Philippines
00:32:09 will experience a certain degree of rising sea levels.
00:32:13 The islanders of Tubigon in Bohol
00:32:17 are feeling the same way.
00:32:19 Their whole barangay
00:32:21 along with other island barangays
00:32:24 are slowly being flooded
00:32:27 by the sea
00:32:31 after years.
00:32:38 That was a beautiful house.
00:32:40 Yes, it had an air-conditioner.
00:32:41 When the land was submerged,
00:32:42 the land was lowered
00:32:44 until it reached the water.
00:32:45 That's where it was.
00:32:46 It's gone.
00:32:50 It's gone through the bottom.
00:32:52 The bottom is being affected
00:32:54 because there are parts
00:32:55 where the water level is high.
00:32:58 Not only the land
00:33:02 is being submerged in this situation,
00:33:04 but also their homes.
00:33:07 Their livelihoods
00:33:09 and dreams.
00:33:11 Oh my God, it's deep.
00:33:13 The one in Kinder and Grade 5,
00:33:16 compared to this one,
00:33:18 that's deeper.
00:33:19 The kids are just slipping
00:33:21 their shorts
00:33:23 because the water reached
00:33:25 the chair.
00:33:26 It's already squatting on its chair
00:33:29 because the water still reached it.
00:33:31 You said you're holding it in because
00:33:34 you want to finish your studies.
00:33:36 In the face of a changing climate,
00:33:40 how prepared is the Philippines?
00:33:43 Communities like the law
00:33:45 are trying to figure out
00:33:46 where we should really go.
00:33:48 Whose fault is that?
00:33:49 We're here in Tubigon, Bohol.
00:33:57 There are six island barangays.
00:34:01 And what's important is
00:34:03 four out of six islands are being submerged.
00:34:07 It's a disaster.
00:34:10 Last Thursday,
00:34:13 when I was expecting a high tide
00:34:15 in Batasan Island,
00:34:17 I headed to the island.
00:34:18 So this is the Batasan Island
00:34:21 here in Tubigon.
00:34:22 From a distance,
00:34:24 from where we are now,
00:34:26 you can see the island.
00:34:28 It's at a high risk
00:34:30 because there's almost no elevation.
00:34:32 In fact, the island is below sea level.
00:34:36 Back, back, back!
00:34:38 There, the water is coming in.
00:34:42 We arrived there 10 minutes
00:34:44 before 10 in the morning.
00:34:46 But the water is high.
00:34:48 Even earlier than expected
00:34:51 high tide at 11 in the morning.
00:34:54 If you look at the aerial map of Batasan Island,
00:34:58 which is the most affected barangay in Tubigon,
00:35:01 you'll notice that only a small land mass is left.
00:35:06 It's a thing that is being feared by almost 1,000 residents here.
00:35:11 Oh my, you're still like that. Thank you.
00:35:14 They even have a welcome poster.
00:35:18 Thank you, bossing.
00:35:19 Did you do that?
00:35:21 Thank you. Thank you.
00:35:23 Like other island barangays in Tubigon,
00:35:26 the life of the Batasan Island residents is hard.
00:35:29 In fact, their island is very beautiful.
00:35:33 If we're going to timeline the incident here in Batasan Island,
00:35:39 this house will serve as a marker
00:35:42 because this house, they said, is very beautiful.
00:35:46 It's moving. It's moving!
00:35:48 We're here.
00:35:49 It's moving.
00:35:51 It's moving. Is it an aftershock?
00:35:55 But when it moved here in Bohol province in 2013,
00:36:00 they noticed that the level of the land that the house is being occupied
00:36:05 has dropped to the level of the sea.
00:36:09 Now, if you look at it, it's like it's engulfed by the sea.
00:36:13 That house, ma'am, before it moved, it had two rooms.
00:36:17 That's a beautiful house.
00:36:19 Yes, it has an aircon.
00:36:20 It's a rest house, a vacation house.
00:36:22 It's a vacation house.
00:36:23 It has an owner.
00:36:24 When it moved, the land dropped to the level of the sea.
00:36:29 Is that how it is?
00:36:30 Yes.
00:36:31 Where is the owner now, ma'am?
00:36:32 They don't live here anymore. They're in Saminlan.
00:36:36 So there are people who relocated.
00:36:39 The houses here are like the houses on stilts
00:36:45 that we saw in Tawi-Tawi and other low-lying places.
00:36:51 It wasn't like this before.
00:36:53 Yes.
00:36:54 How far was the sea before?
00:36:56 The sea didn't enter here?
00:36:58 No, it was just behind the house.
00:37:01 It's gone. It's gone past the bottom of the well.
00:37:07 My well is heavy because it's full of water.
00:37:10 The well here is weak because there are parts where the water level is high.
00:37:16 So that's the only solution.
00:37:19 The drilling has been stopped.
00:37:21 For more than a decade, the residents of Batasan Island have been used to the rising water level.
00:37:34 Is it like this every day?
00:37:36 After one week, it's low tide.
00:37:40 Then the next week, it's high tide.
00:37:42 There's a week of low tide.
00:37:45 To monitor the tides, the houses here do not lose their calendar.
00:37:53 When we found out that it's high tide, we looked at the calendar.
00:37:57 Dad also has a fan.
00:37:59 I don't think there's anything that's not wet here.
00:38:04 Everything is wet.
00:38:05 Everything is flooded by the sea.
00:38:07 It's like high tide, low tide.
00:38:09 This is how they live.
00:38:14 How are you? Are you okay?
00:38:16 Yes, I'm okay.
00:38:17 The water is high tide.
00:38:18 That's how it is.
00:38:19 The sea is high tide.
00:38:20 What did the captain say?
00:38:24 The sea is high tide.
00:38:28 It's like high tide.
00:38:29 That's what they say.
00:38:31 Grandma, it's dirty.
00:38:33 The garbage is mixed.
00:38:35 And because they don't have big rocks to block the water from the sea,
00:38:43 they use piles of corals that are also damaged by the sea.
00:38:50 Because of the corals, the fish live and lay eggs,
00:38:54 and their livelihood is also affected.
00:38:58 So that the garbage from the sea cannot enter their houses,
00:39:03 they put mud.
00:39:06 Grandma, that's a different kind.
00:39:08 You're leaving in the water.
00:39:10 Yes.
00:39:12 Do you have to clean it?
00:39:14 Yes.
00:39:15 How?
00:39:16 Grandma, you don't have to spend money.
00:39:18 There's no garbage.
00:39:19 They're also leaving.
00:39:26 I really want to leave.
00:39:29 I thought the grandma was also different.
00:39:32 It turns out that they still leave the water in common practice.
00:39:36 So that the dirt won't enter.
00:39:39 But it will return.
00:39:41 You should collect it, especially the plastic.
00:39:45 What is that?
00:39:50 You're catching fish or garbage?
00:39:52 Garbage.
00:39:53 Garbage.
00:39:54 You can still carry a lot.
00:39:56 Because when it's gone, it will come back later.
00:39:59 Their basketball court is submerged,
00:40:04 but the residents are still playing.
00:40:09 The road is an instant swimming pool.
00:40:12 In the water, there are fish in the road and the water is so clean that if you call it a tank.
00:40:20 This is not a place for people to die.
00:40:23 It's not like Teguau.
00:40:25 The boat is making noise.
00:40:31 How are you there?
00:40:34 Your house was submerged.
00:40:38 So you're making a new one?
00:40:40 I'm in debt.
00:40:41 You're in debt.
00:40:43 You're in debt to build a house.
00:40:46 How much did you owe?
00:40:49 840 pesos.
00:40:51 Your house is already two floors?
00:40:53 Just this one.
00:40:54 Just this one?
00:40:55 No, the water won't reach it.
00:40:57 Just that one.
00:40:59 Just that one.
00:41:01 The kids are still swimming.
00:41:07 Even though there is still a little happiness.
00:41:10 The kids are swimming.
00:41:13 The sea is already there.
00:41:15 They are already at home.
00:41:17 They are already in the park.
00:41:18 Are you painting?
00:41:19 I'm painting because the beach is near here.
00:41:22 But the water will reach it.
00:41:24 It's okay.
00:41:25 It's okay.
00:41:26 You are Ma'am Mirasol?
00:41:28 Is this your house?
00:41:30 I met Mirasol here.
00:41:32 She was born and raised in Batasan Island.
00:41:36 Back then, they were not able to reach the water even in high tide.
00:41:42 But now, from living room, kitchen, to bed, the sea is letting them in.
00:41:50 How can you live like this?
00:41:52 How can you live like this?
00:41:54 You are being let in by the sea.
00:41:56 It's hard.
00:41:57 How do you cook?
00:41:59 How do you sleep?
00:42:01 The sea is just there.
00:42:03 You can go in anytime.
00:42:05 We can sleep, but sometimes, when the sea is at night, we can't sleep.
00:42:10 The sea also comes in at night?
00:42:13 If the sea is high, our bed will reach the sea.
00:42:17 That's why we can't sleep.
00:42:20 When it rains, we will put it in the basin.
00:42:24 We will drink it.
00:42:26 It's clean.
00:42:27 It came from the sky.
00:42:29 Do you have children here?
00:42:31 Yes, we have five children.
00:42:32 How do you take care of them?
00:42:33 We will just carry them when the sea reaches the bed.
00:42:38 When they eat, they are also like this.
00:42:40 They are drowning.
00:42:41 How do you continue to carry them?
00:42:43 Now, it's already 2 meters high.
00:42:45 If it's still high there...
00:42:47 We will put it there.
00:42:51 It will just go up.
00:42:53 According to the residents, they started noticing the gradual sinking of their barangay in 2013
00:43:02 when the strong tides swept the province of Bohol.
00:43:07 The island will disappear.
00:43:09 How can it disappear?
00:43:10 We were worried.
00:43:12 We prayed that it wouldn't disappear.
00:43:15 Aside from the tides of 2013, the Odep storm of 2021 seems to have made the island sink even more.
00:43:24 Aside from Batasan Island, other islands also sank, such as Ubay, Inanuran, and Bilang-Bilangan.
00:43:32 The geological setting of Bohol is mostly limestone.
00:43:36 So when there was an earthquake, it rose.
00:43:38 Unfortunately, Batasan is one of the areas that sank.
00:43:42 This phenomenon that happened in Tubigon, we call it caused seismic uplift or subsidence.
00:43:49 The North Bohol Fault is the reason why the islands in the north of Bohol sank.
00:43:56 It's a combination of the movement of the land and the rise of the water due to climate change.
00:44:01 The global average is 3.2 millimeters per year.
00:44:05 According to our records, Bohol is at 10.8 millimeters per year.
00:44:10 So it means that it rose three times faster than the global average.
00:44:14 The question is how can you educate the children?
00:44:33 [Children playing]
00:44:40 There is one thing that remains unabated.
00:44:43 The dream of the children to finish their studies.
00:44:48 Hello, good morning.
00:44:55 This is where I met Teacher Lisa, a teacher at Batasan Elementary School.
00:45:01 The whole school was submerged in water.
00:45:04 Ma'am Lisa, how can I teach in this situation?
00:45:12 The children were really distracted. They didn't listen.
00:45:15 It's hard to teach.
00:45:16 Yes, ma'am.
00:45:17 In other classrooms, the equipment is already being damaged.
00:45:22 I was just a new student, one year and six months.
00:45:30 That's where I learned from my students that this is how it's done.
00:45:35 The equipment is placed on top.
00:45:38 The students, if they are not wearing slippers, they just choose to use their feet.
00:45:49 How do you save the reading materials if the water is entering like this?
00:45:56 We put it there, ma'am, on the higher part.
00:46:01 You just save it.
00:46:03 Because there is a trap.
00:46:07 Because if it rains, ma'am, you can't read.
00:46:12 So their modules, their teaching materials, they save it.
00:46:19 Who knows ABC?
00:46:22 Okay, game.
00:46:24 What else do you know?
00:46:26 G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.
00:46:41 When I went to the other classroom, I reached a deeper water.
00:46:47 Oh my God, it's deep.
00:46:50 In Kinder and Grade 5, compared to this, it's deeper.
00:46:57 Hello, ma'am, hello, teacher.
00:46:59 Good morning, students.
00:47:02 Thank you.
00:47:07 Look, the students just rinse their shorts because the water reached the chair.
00:47:17 Look, she's raising her shorts because the water reached it.
00:47:21 She's not sitting on her chair anymore.
00:47:24 How can you study like this when you're submerged in the water?
00:47:29 I'm used to it.
00:47:31 She's used to it.
00:47:33 Do you want to change to a class that doesn't get wet?
00:47:36 I don't want to.
00:47:37 No one will guard me.
00:47:46 It's not safe for the kids, but we can't do anything if it's this high tide.
00:47:51 We just fight.
00:47:52 Even though their situation is difficult, they still continue their studies
00:47:59 because studying is one of the keys for them to succeed,
00:48:05 so that they can adapt to this situation.
00:48:08 We always ask for this to be elevated.
00:48:14 But even though the students' shorts are submerged in the water,
00:48:18 their dedication to study still remains.
00:48:22 They rely on education.
00:48:26 I want to be a nurse to help people who are sick.
00:48:32 She's squatting on her chair because the water is still reaching it.
00:48:37 But you said you're holding it in because...
00:48:40 I'm holding it in because I'm afraid of the water.
00:48:43 She's holding it in because she wants to finish her studies.
00:48:46 Very good. Let's have a toast.
00:48:48 Study well.
00:48:51 This is not what you're destined to do when you grow up.
00:48:56 I hope there will be a solution.
00:48:58 We're used to it. Let's just adjust.
00:49:12 This type of case of submerged islands is not only happening in Bohol,
00:49:17 but also in different parts of the Philippines,
00:49:21 including some parts of Bulacan, Mindoro, Rojas City in Capiz, and in Cotabato City.
00:49:29 According to Greenpeace East Asia,
00:49:32 due to the 13.24 mm rise in the water level in Manila Bay,
00:49:38 Metro Manila is not only being submerged 10 cm every year.
00:49:46 An insurer in Europe, the Philippines, is the most vulnerable in climate change
00:49:54 with almost 3% of GDP being lost every year because of climate impact.
00:50:00 We have a report that showed that by 2030,
00:50:03 the chance of Manila being submerged is higher due to the sea level rise.
00:50:10 Since 1880, it is estimated that the sea level has risen by 21 to 24 cm worldwide.
00:50:22 According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of America,
00:50:26 the sea level rises by 3.4 mm every year.
00:50:32 In fact, even our neighbor Indonesia, which is also an archipelago like the Philippines,
00:50:39 has already moved its capital from Jakarta to Nusantara in Borneo
00:50:46 due to the gradual sinking of their capital.
00:50:51 The process of climate change is normal, but we can see that due to the actions of people,
00:50:57 climate change is accelerating in historical levels.
00:51:02 Another indication that the effects of climate change are really bad is global warming.
00:51:10 According to experts, it can be considered global boiling due to the rise in the temperature of the world.
00:51:19 That's why it's so hot here in the Philippines.
00:51:25 There is a report that shows that the temperatures in April are the highest in recorded history.
00:51:33 1.58 degrees higher than the pre-industrial average, which is the average temperature of April.
00:51:39 This is just a trailer.
00:51:41 What will happen in the Philippines?
00:51:43 Our wet seasons will be more unpredictable, but it's really glaring.
00:51:47 If we continue with how we run our business on fossil fuels and our carbon emissions don't decrease,
00:51:55 we're looking at 365 days of extreme heat all year.
00:52:00 That's how bad it is.
00:52:01 Everything will get worse before it gets better.
00:52:05 That's why it's really urgent to call for our carbon majors to be accountable for what they're doing in the world today.
00:52:15 The Tagaritos have been abusing the island for a long time, and it's time for them to leave.
00:52:22 Because of the extreme heat, the forces of nature cannot be stopped.
00:52:28 But for the Tagaritos, it's easy to say, but difficult to do.
00:52:34 Because this is where they were born, where they found their families, where they found their livelihood,
00:52:38 and where their ancestors were.
00:52:41 This is where they started.
00:52:45 The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has long declared the Batasan Island as uninhabitable.
00:52:55 There's no hope that the island will be saved.
00:52:58 As of now, there's no hope.
00:53:01 Because it's submerged.
00:53:03 In the disaster response, what immediate action should be taken?
00:53:09 The islands are being declared as no-build zones. We really encouraged them to relocate.
00:53:16 The LGU can't fund it.
00:53:18 Fortunately, we have a grant from the National Housing Authority worth P50 million.
00:53:24 Okay.
00:53:25 And it's going to be 60 units for each family.
00:53:30 So all the families?
00:53:31 Not all, ma'am.
00:53:32 How many families?
00:53:33 It's only 60, but the affected is like 300.
00:53:38 But when I asked the residents of the island if they were ready to move,
00:53:44 many of them said that if they were to be settled here, they would die here.
00:53:50 We'll just live here. We don't have any land.
00:53:55 You won't be able to live on the land?
00:53:57 Some of them don't want to leave.
00:54:00 Do you want to leave?
00:54:03 No, ma'am.
00:54:04 You're having a hard time, but you still don't want to leave?
00:54:06 Because the elders here are our children.
00:54:09 Our parents are living here while they're dying.
00:54:13 Why don't you want to leave, even in this situation?
00:54:16 We're used to it, ma'am.
00:54:18 Because we're looking for a home here on the island.
00:54:22 We don't know how to move to the mainland.
00:54:25 It's better if we have a house in the mainland.
00:54:29 If there's a storm, we'll have a place to go to.
00:54:35 If we have money, we can buy land.
00:54:38 But if we don't have money, we'll just stay here.
00:54:41 They don't want to leave.
00:54:43 Of course, they have a sentimental hold on the island.
00:54:47 They've been living there for generations.
00:54:51 That's why they don't want to relocate.
00:54:57 Because their grandchildren are already there.
00:55:01 We can do something.
00:55:03 We have a Paris Agreement.
00:55:05 It's one of the biggest agreements between governments around the world.
00:55:09 It commits to cut down carbon emissions.
00:55:12 On the other hand, the problem is that while the emissions are being cut down,
00:55:16 the companies don't want to change.
00:55:18 We need to support and expand the call to solve the carbon majors.
00:55:24 It's a phenomenon.
00:55:25 We can't do anything about it.
00:55:26 It's only a matter of adaptation for the residents there.
00:55:30 Communities like Batasan are being tied up.
00:55:33 The call now is that we need to support these communities in a big way
00:55:41 because the fight of these communities is our future.
00:55:46 To stop global warming or the continuous warming of the world's temperature,
00:55:56 we need to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
00:56:00 This is what big and rich countries are fighting against.
00:56:04 While small and not rich countries like the Philippines
00:56:10 are more vulnerable to the consequences of climate change.
00:56:15 Just like the stronger typhoons.
00:56:18 Let's talk about the problem.
00:56:20 Let's be serious so we don't go down.
00:56:24 [Music]
00:56:32 The second child of a wife in Oton, Iloilo was gossiped by the British
00:56:40 because she didn't have children.
00:56:42 She is not the real daughter of her father.
00:56:46 To solve the issue and find out,
00:56:50 they went deeper into the DNA test.
00:56:53 What is the result?
00:56:55 A mother is being tied up by the British in their barangay.
00:57:01 I have a neighbor here who always gossiped that our child is not the child of my husband.
00:57:07 It's very painful to hear that my child is not the child of my husband.
00:57:12 It's like your chest is about to explode.
00:57:14 Because of this, she asked for help from our program.
00:57:19 I want to slap my neighbor's face to see what the truth is.
00:57:24 When we fight,
00:57:25 But in our interview, there are new information that came out.
00:57:30 I chatted with foreigners to...
00:57:32 They told me that my child is not the real one.
00:57:38 It's like my body is being tormented.
00:57:40 It's painful to hear that your wife is the one who is being tormented.
00:57:45 After the results of the DNA test,
00:57:48 will she be able to keep quiet about what she is being taught by the British?
00:57:53 Or will she be more afraid of them?
00:57:56 I am not afraid.
00:57:58 I am not a coward.
00:57:59 God knows everything.
00:58:01 Here in Paterno Street in Oton, Iloilo,
00:58:09 Emily lives.
00:58:11 And what is tied to this wheel is her 10-year-old son,
00:58:15 whom we hid under the name of Jane.
00:58:18 My son is white,
00:58:19 and my husband is very dark.
00:58:21 They just based it on color.
00:58:24 They said that my son is good, and my husband is ugly.
00:58:27 I am just quiet, but it hurts my chest.
00:58:30 As Jane grew up,
00:58:32 the stories of the child,
00:58:36 the not real child of Mr. and Emily, became more and more.
00:58:39 I always ask myself, why do they say that I am not a child?
00:58:44 Sometimes, my head is in pain.
00:58:47 At first, they said that he is just dead.
00:58:50 I just followed the rumors.
00:58:52 I just drove.
00:58:53 But as time passed,
00:58:56 he grew up.
00:58:57 He has a mind.
00:58:59 One day, if we don't prove that he is the son of his father,
00:59:03 he might ask me a lot of questions.
00:59:05 It hurts so much.
00:59:06 The feeling that it's okay for me to be hurt,
00:59:09 but not my son.
00:59:10 The feeling that he can't defend himself.
00:59:14 It's wrong to joke.
00:59:16 It decreases the social emotional of a child.
00:59:19 Parents need to be careful
00:59:22 on how they handle the behavior of children.
00:59:25 But who is the one who initiated this issue to Emily?
00:59:29 The rumors came from my neighbors.
00:59:32 They all tell me that whenever we fight.
00:59:36 One of the people who Emily often loses,
00:59:39 agreed to have an interview,
00:59:40 on the condition that she will hide her identity.
00:59:44 Let's call her "Ana".
00:59:46 And the source of the latest rumors of Emily,
00:59:50 is a speaker.
00:59:53 January, my friend was filming at my old house.
00:59:58 She asked me to guess who the speaker is.
01:00:00 So I guessed that it's her birthday.
01:00:03 It's for the birthday of your child.
01:00:04 My child thought it's us,
01:00:06 so she cried.
01:00:07 My mom said that the speaker is at your house.
01:00:10 She took the speaker,
01:00:12 she carried it,
01:00:13 and she played it.
01:00:14 So the neighbors heard it, and she left.
01:00:16 When it's your birthday,
01:00:18 you need to play music,
01:00:20 especially on your birthday celebration.
01:00:22 I don't know anything,
01:00:23 because my child is the one who played it.
01:00:25 You don't know how to play,
01:00:27 but it's your child's birthday, so you need to play.
01:00:30 It's not your child's.
01:00:31 And the rumor of the simple speaker,
01:00:34 You have a husband already.
01:00:35 was followed by the neighbors.
01:00:38 It's a war.
01:00:40 She told me that my child is not my husband's child.
01:00:43 And my child is also here, inside the house.
01:00:46 It's true, when I heard it.
01:00:47 Ana's defense,
01:00:49 she said that she heard it after Emily threatened her.
01:00:54 I was shocked, so I said,
01:00:57 I'm ashamed of who your father is,
01:01:01 second, third,
01:01:03 but I never mentioned the name of the child and her father.
01:01:08 I was angry with her,
01:01:09 because I was older at that time.
01:01:11 I was angry with her, because she was the one who threatened me.
01:01:14 There are people who are being blattered here in the barangay.
01:01:19 There are also complaints against Emily.
01:01:21 It's not me who got the issue.
01:01:23 I heard it from someone,
01:01:25 many people know about it,
01:01:26 I didn't start it.
01:01:28 It's coming out of your mouth,
01:01:29 that she's not the child of this,
01:01:31 that she's not the child of Moises.
01:01:33 She said it herself, so everyone knows.
01:01:35 I can't deny that she threatened me,
01:01:39 I didn't do anything wrong.
01:01:41 But does Ana have a solid basis in what she said to Emily?
01:01:49 In 2011, Emily and Moises met in a radio program in Iloilo.
01:01:56 My husband was on air, he was looking for a text mate,
01:01:59 I got that number.
01:02:01 They got along well,
01:02:03 and just a month later, they got married.
01:02:06 The children were blessed,
01:02:08 Moises was giving them a ride in selling balut.
01:02:15 Until Emily gave birth to Jane,
01:02:19 who said that there are people who are far from the look of her mister.
01:02:22 They just based it on color.
01:02:25 Moises was slowly affected by the doubts.
01:02:29 If you're mad at me,
01:02:31 you always tell me that you're not the child of my child.
01:02:34 Okay, you can believe it, if you want to believe it.
01:02:36 But she's just quiet, she doesn't answer.
01:02:39 It hurts when your wife says that.
01:02:43 Emily's guess was that the gossipers used her past.
01:02:50 She already had a child before Moises met them.
01:02:55 My mother is my daughter from my first husband.
01:02:58 I was pregnant for 8 months.
01:03:00 I got home from work, she's no longer there.
01:03:03 Emily thinks that the real father of Jane is one of the people who made the guess.
01:03:08 His former text mate and ex, who we hid under the name Mark.
01:03:14 Even though they were together before,
01:03:17 Mark and Jane met.
01:03:19 I went there for my friend's birthday, not for him.
01:03:23 Before we met, they said that my ex, I was pregnant for 3 months.
01:03:28 Emily talked to Mark, she said that he's quiet.
01:03:32 She said that he's dead for many years.
01:03:36 Emily also admitted that she has a catch-up with a foreign man.
01:03:42 I won't replace you, I'll add you.
01:03:44 Just kidding.
01:03:45 When we fight, I'll just make her jealous.
01:03:48 But the gossipers still don't want to stop her.
01:03:53 That's why she asked for help in our program.
01:03:58 I'm not a liar, I don't have any other gossip.
01:04:00 I want to have a DNA test to prove to the whole world that I'm not lying.
01:04:06 Last week, Moises and Jane joined the DNA paternity test.
01:04:17 Is Moises really Jane's son?
01:04:20 I'm a virgin, I don't have any feelings.
01:04:23 But are they ready for any result?
01:04:27 I'm nervous because if it's negative, it's like the gossips in the house.
01:04:33 Will the result of the DNA test be a shock or will it make the doubts even more?
01:04:42 I'm just careful.
01:04:44 Next.
01:04:46 A mother from Oton in Iloilo, doesn't want to be a mother.
01:04:55 She doesn't want the Marites to attack her barangay.
01:04:59 She's gossiping that the father of her daughter, Jane, is really different.
01:05:06 My son is white and my husband is black.
01:05:09 I'm just quiet but I have a pain in my chest.
01:05:12 That's why the mother, Emily, asked for help in our program.
01:05:17 So that the issue can be finished.
01:05:22 I'm a virgin, I don't have any feelings.
01:05:25 I'm nervous because if it's negative, it's like the gossips in the house.
01:05:32 And the result of the DNA test has already been released.
01:05:45 To guide the couple in the process of their results, MSWD accompanied them.
01:05:53 If the result is negative or positive, we are here to inform them.
01:05:59 In the support of the couple and in coordination of the DNA testing center,
01:06:08 the result of the DNA paternity test of Moises and Jane,
01:06:15 the government of their barangay is now holding.
01:06:17 He will tell them the result.
01:06:20 The result of the DNA paternity test of Moises and Jane is
01:06:27 99.99%.
01:06:33 99.99%.
01:06:34 It means that Moises and Jane are true fathers and they are just victims of the gossip of the barangay.
01:06:49 They are true fathers.
01:07:01 I'm crying because this is the only way to clear my name.
01:07:08 For more than 20 years, I heard that gossip.
01:07:13 I don't need to explain to them one by one.
01:07:17 I don't need to explain that I never cheated my husband.
01:07:25 I'm just worried that they might not hear my sign.
01:07:32 I used to be jealous of him.
01:07:36 I'm very happy now.
01:07:38 I proved that my husband is true to me.
01:07:41 That he didn't cheat me.
01:07:43 I don't care if it's positive or negative because that's not the main source of our fight.
01:07:48 The main source of our fight is his behavior.
01:07:52 Those who are doing fake news or not correct information,
01:07:58 they can be charged with defamation or slander.
01:08:03 Depending on the context, they can also be charged with child abuse
01:08:07 for their wrong and painful actions.
01:08:11 They often make jokes to some children that their real mother or father might be different.
01:08:21 Let's stop this because it affects the children.
01:08:25 And the best way to fight the marites is 99.9999% DNA test.
01:08:35 A dozen of brothers in Batangas
01:08:44 had to share the land that their mother inherited.
01:08:51 How?
01:08:52 Bingo!
01:08:53 In letter B,
01:08:58 this couple was very nervous.
01:09:05 They played bingo intensely.
01:09:08 Letter N.
01:09:10 Bingo is a matter of who will be the one to share
01:09:15 the half hectare of land that their mother inherited.
01:09:20 Who will be the one to share the land?
01:09:25 The ones who shared the land in the video are the Tigasanwan in Batangas.
01:09:39 Crisanto and his 11 siblings.
01:09:43 According to Crisanto,
01:09:49 when their mother, Sinica Nora, died just last year,
01:09:53 she did not leave any last will and testament.
01:09:57 So, the brothers thought of a plan
01:10:01 on who will be the one to share the land that their mother inherited.
01:10:06 Before, when we said we will sell,
01:10:09 no one will pay, no one will help.
01:10:11 But this time, we need to help first.
01:10:14 This is where Crisanto's brother came up with a bright idea
01:10:18 to let everyone play their favorite game,
01:10:22 B-I-N-G-O, Bingo.
01:10:25 Those who are saving,
01:10:27 for example, those who have land, they do that.
01:10:30 Sometimes, they invite us to play bingo.
01:10:33 We are not against what the elder man says.
01:10:38 We will just follow what he says.
01:10:40 The land up for grabs,
01:10:43 owned by anyone among the siblings.
01:10:46 This 4,700 square meters of land is in Barangay Talahiban I.
01:10:53 In the 1940s, when their father, Chodoro, became the land tenant.
01:10:59 The land owner would make all the expenses.
01:11:03 When it's time to harvest, he would reduce the amount of money he gave.
01:11:08 Then, they would divide the excess.
01:11:11 He planted rice, which he distributed to 13 of his children.
01:11:17 Only 12 of them are left now because one of them died.
01:11:21 Father Chodoro's wife, who is the mother of Canora,
01:11:25 used to sell rice in the market.
01:11:28 We would walk around the market and sell rice.
01:11:34 Because of father Chodoro's hard work,
01:11:37 after 5 decades of being a tenant or a landowner,
01:11:42 he was able to inherit the land that he was the landowner of.
01:11:47 I just understand that when you are a tenant,
01:11:50 and you need to own that big piece of land,
01:11:54 the landowners will give you a share.
01:11:59 The family of the landowner refused to be interviewed.
01:12:04 But when they asked, they said they have no plans to repay the land.
01:12:09 They said it's up to us.
01:12:11 It's a big help to us.
01:12:12 We are thankful to the landowner.
01:12:14 We are happy that our father worked hard.
01:12:16 He did not lose his favor to us.
01:12:19 In 2001, father Chodoro died of a heart attack.
01:12:24 The following year, Canora's mother died of dementia.
01:12:30 His eldest son, Chrisanto,
01:12:33 was thinking about what to do with the inheritance left by his parents.
01:12:38 I don't know what to do.
01:12:40 If I told him, "This is yours," he might get angry.
01:12:44 "Why did you give it to him?"
01:12:46 So on April 28, a few days after Canora's mother's first death anniversary,
01:12:53 a dozen of siblings gathered to...
01:12:57 To let her be!
01:13:00 To have a bingo!
01:13:02 I didn't know that.
01:13:05 Because the sixth sibling, Virginia, also died,
01:13:10 his son, Vernal, became his representative.
01:13:15 Look, maybe this is the first one.
01:13:17 Of course, we were happy that he was invited.
01:13:21 But wait, what about the sixth sibling in the bingo?
01:13:25 To clarify, the land cannot be owned by just one person.
01:13:32 Instead, they will divide it into 13.
01:13:36 Including the family of Virginia, who died.
01:13:39 Our real sibling.
01:13:44 And they will have a bingo to decide where the land will go.
01:13:51 Literally, draw lots.
01:13:54 I took a piece of paper and put a number on it.
01:13:58 I put 13 numbers on the paper.
01:14:01 Each of them has a chance to be picked by a bull.
01:14:07 Whoever you pick, I'll pick him.
01:14:11 This is my number one. If I'm number 10, he'll be number 10.
01:14:16 Crisanto is the one I like.
01:14:18 Lot number 5.
01:14:19 I made a hole there.
01:14:21 And Julie, no matter what part of the land, carry it.
01:14:25 My plan is to give my child a lot so that they have a memory to get from me.
01:14:31 Okay, just eat.
01:14:32 Zosimo, the bull, has a plan to take care of the animals.
01:14:36 I plan to take care of the animals and breed them.
01:14:41 So he bets on the lot with the lowest number.
01:14:44 Because when it rains, 6 to 13, the water reaches the land.
01:14:50 The water can't reach the land.
01:14:52 But Zosimo is a thief.
01:14:54 Mine.
01:14:57 His nephew is Vernal.
01:14:59 What I really want is 1 to 5.
01:15:02 Because when the time comes when it rains, even if you have a plant, you will really get home.
01:15:08 Vernal practiced before he started pulling.
01:15:11 Oh my!
01:15:13 At first, I tried.
01:15:15 I was pulling 10, 9, 11.
01:15:19 I said I won't pull anymore.
01:15:21 But Crisanto has someone to talk to.
01:15:24 I asked them for that portion.
01:15:27 Number 5. I asked them.
01:15:29 They gave it to me.
01:15:33 I'm not involved in pulling.
01:15:36 Because he's my brother, we agreed to what he wants because he's the one who can pull.
01:15:41 And their game has already started.
01:15:45 Julie was pulled.
01:15:50 Lot number 6.
01:15:56 I'm just happy.
01:15:58 As long as my mom is satisfied, I'm okay with anything I pull.
01:16:04 When Zosimo was about to pull,
01:16:06 I was pulled by a guy.
01:16:08 I was shaking.
01:16:10 I was like, "Okay, I'll get number 1."
01:16:12 I pulled number 10.
01:16:23 My head was so heavy, I was sweating.
01:16:29 It was okay.
01:16:30 I didn't go down that far.
01:16:32 Just up to my thighs.
01:16:34 For Vernald, the fight is still fierce for the lot he wants.
01:16:40 I'm so happy because we're left with 7, 1, 2, 3.
01:16:46 And the 7th one was pulled by a lady.
01:16:48 There are only 3 left.
01:16:49 That's the only one left.
01:16:51 3, 2, 1.
01:16:52 Checkmate, I might not pull.
01:16:53 And when he was about to pull,
01:16:56 he pulled number 3.
01:17:01 He got number 3.
01:17:05 I'm so happy.
01:17:08 Even if the land is not that big.
01:17:11 It's different.
01:17:13 You'll be really happy.
01:17:15 The one who got the lot number 1,
01:17:20 is Bayong.
01:17:26 We're so happy that we were able to pull number 1.
01:17:29 Maybe it was given to us by our parents.
01:17:33 The siblings are planning to sue the land owner
01:17:38 so that they can formally name the part they were able to pull.
01:17:43 The legal way for the heirs or the land owners to share their properties
01:17:48 depends on what they agree on.
01:17:51 As long as they agree that this will go to whom,
01:17:55 that will be valid.
01:17:57 The draw lots in the video are legal.
01:18:02 As long as the heirs and the land owners agree
01:18:06 and they put what they agreed on on paper
01:18:09 and they signed it, they were notarized.
01:18:11 I'm thankful because we're able to agree on things.
01:18:16 Even if the land is divided into two,
01:18:19 we're still thankful to the land owner.
01:18:21 We didn't think that we would have a share of the land.
01:18:25 That's a big thing.
01:18:26 Let's see if other families are playing their favorite game,
01:18:32 the land robbery.
01:18:33 The letter N.
01:18:35 The Javier family is different.
01:18:38 They're just playing bingo.
01:18:40 Because their motto is
01:18:42 "The family that plays together
01:18:48 stays together."
01:18:50 Thank you so much, Kapuso.
