00:00Our patient is about to give birth.
00:08Some residents here in Lemery, Batangas are confused.
00:13In just a few moments, they will see a girl giving birth on the street.
00:20She's giving birth!
00:24People are helping in giving birth to a 16-year-old girl.
00:29You can also hear in the video that the doctor refused to go to a hospital.
00:35They came from an emergency.
00:37They know that our patient is about to give birth.
00:41They let her out.
00:43Did they do the right thing?
00:46We are here outside.
00:49The patient is about to give birth.
00:51That's why she was able to give birth on the street.
00:54There's the baby.
00:56She's giving birth. We're on the street.
00:58While they were on the tricycle, the baby's head was coming out.
01:03Thankfully, she was wearing a diaper.
01:05She was able to give birth right here in this place.
01:09Can you imagine the fear of the baby and the pain that she experienced
01:15while giving birth here on the side of the street?
01:18If the baby was able to last longer than what I saw,
01:21and what I saw with my own eyes,
01:23I wouldn't be able to do it.
01:25The baby's head was coming out.
01:27The baby's head was coming out.
01:30Yes, here.
01:31But only up to here.
01:32Only up to here.
01:35It's dangerous.
01:36Be strong.
01:38If you don't let the baby out, you'll die.
01:42What's the truth behind this incident?
01:45What are the government's programs for mothers like her?
01:50This is the life of a human being.
01:52This is the life of a mother.
01:53They shouldn't have done that.
02:04On June 28, around 5 p.m.,
02:07people will see a baby.
02:10We will hide it under the name Hazel.
02:13Hazel is only 16 years old.
02:15Sir, our patient is about to give birth.
02:20Hazel is about to give birth.
02:23What's left to do is to take her to the street.
02:27There she is.
02:29She's still giving birth.
02:31She's calling for help.
02:33There's the baby.
02:37There's the baby.
02:39She's giving birth.
02:40We're on the street.
02:42This patient is about to give birth.
02:45She was placed under a carton as a cover
02:48and covered with a blanket while giving birth.
02:51After a few minutes of fussing,
02:59We're not going to give birth to this baby.
03:02Thank you, Lord.
03:04Thank you, Lord.
03:06Hazel tied her baby, Chesca,
03:09her real name.
03:11She's giving birth.
03:13We're on the street.
03:15She's giving birth on the street.
03:17There's the baby.
03:19There's the baby.
03:21After giving birth,
03:22residents took Hazel
03:24to their house
03:26to let her rest and clean up.
03:35After giving birth on Dalaguita Street,
03:38she was taken to the hospital
03:40with the help of their barangay.
03:42She's being taken away.
03:44She's being taken to a private hospital.
03:46There you go.
03:48Hazel was immediately taken to the ambulance
03:50and her newborn baby
03:52to be taken to a private clinic
03:54after being refused
03:56to go to a public hospital.
04:03Thank you very much.
04:05Thank you very much
04:07Thank you very much.
04:14While they were in the tricycle,
04:16the baby's head was coming out.
04:18Thankfully, she was wearing a diaper
04:20until she gave birth
04:23right here in this place.
04:25So, can you imagine
04:27the fear of the baby
04:29and the pain she experienced
04:31while giving birth
04:33here on the side of the road?
04:35We also found some residents
04:37who helped Hazel
04:39while she was on the road.
04:41So, did you see her here?
04:43Yes.
04:44She's about to give birth.
04:46When we arrived,
04:47she immediately got off the tricycle
04:49and carried the baby.
04:51She couldn't do it anymore.
04:53Yes, she climbed up.
04:57According to Shella,
04:59they thought the baby was dead
05:01because her head was turning black
05:03and she couldn't breathe
05:05after she gave birth.
05:07I just held the baby
05:09until she gave birth.
05:11I held the baby
05:13until she cried.
05:17Thank you very much.
05:19Thank you very much.
05:21That's where we lived
05:23when we heard the baby crying.
05:25So, the baby didn't cry when she gave birth?
05:27Yes, she didn't cry when she gave birth.
05:29I held the baby
05:31until she cried.
05:33I think it took
05:35half an hour
05:37before the baby died
05:39because her head
05:41was turning black.
05:43To be honest,
05:45I was the only one
05:47who couldn't do it.
05:49I didn't want to do it
05:51but I just wanted to help.
05:53Did you get scared?
05:55No, I didn't.
05:57I just wanted the baby to survive.
06:00What can you say now?
06:02To the hospital?
06:04Emergency?
06:06Here.
06:08She was taken out of the hospital.
06:10She was taken out of the hospital.
06:12Shella felt scared
06:14and she asked for help
06:16from Hazel's parents.
06:18They were very brave to help the mother.
06:20They took me to their house
06:22while I was taking a bath.
06:24They helped me and took the baby out of the house.
06:26I didn't know what to do
06:28while I was taking a bath.
06:30I thought
06:32as a mother and as a woman,
06:34it's very dangerous.
06:36We found out
06:38that the mother
06:40who gave birth to the baby
06:42died because
06:44the baby didn't come out.
06:46That's what I thought.
06:48That's why I knew
06:50that if the baby didn't come out
06:52it might die.
06:54She had a high BP.
06:56I thought the baby might not be able to take it.
06:58She was already very soft.
07:00I sat down and told her
07:02to get up
07:04and I told her to get up
07:06so that she can feel better.
07:08I told her to listen to me
07:10and feel better
07:12because if the baby doesn't come out,
07:14you will die.
07:18If the baby will last
07:20as long as I saw
07:22with my own eyes,
07:24the baby won't last.
07:26The baby?
07:28So the baby's head came out?
07:30Yes.
07:32But only up to here?
07:34Yes.
07:36Because she's a minor,
07:38giving birth to a baby is dangerous,
07:40especially if it's outside a maternity clinic
07:42or a hospital.
07:46According to an OB gynecologist,
07:48there are many problems
07:50that can happen to babies.
07:52The risk of giving birth to a baby
07:54is two to five times higher
07:56than that of an adult mother.
08:00While the risk of giving birth to a baby
08:02is three times higher
08:04than that of an adult mother.
08:08When they are teenagers,
08:10they are already categorized
08:12under the high-risk group because of their age.
08:14There are many risks and potential complications
08:16for anyone in general
08:18who delivers outside
08:20of a controlled environment.
08:22Having sepsis
08:24in a mother because she's exposed
08:26to open wounds
08:28is because of the bacteria
08:30that can cause infections.
08:32She's giving birth on the street.
08:34Oh my God!
08:36There's the baby!
08:38Oh my God!
08:40Because of what happened to Hazel,
08:42some neighbors and relatives
08:44are also very angry.
08:46Why don't you understand the patient?
08:48They know
08:50that our patient is about to give birth.
08:52They let her out.
08:54Did they do the right thing?
08:58We're already outside.
09:00The patient is about to give birth.
09:02Oh my God!
09:08Three days later,
09:10the uploader returned
09:12the video of Mannylyn and Hazel
09:14inside their house.
09:16This is where Hazel
09:18retold what happened to her.
09:20Why did you give birth
09:22on the street?
09:24There was an emergency.
09:26They let us out.
09:28Thank you
09:30to those who are worried about ***
09:32and to those who are asking about her.
09:34This is where they live.
09:36To those
09:38who want to help ***
09:40*** is a young mother.
09:42She doesn't have a husband.
09:54Hazel and baby Chesca
09:56also visited the reporter's notebook.
09:58Hazel refused to give an interview
10:00because of the trauma she experienced
10:02while giving birth on the street.
10:04But she told us
10:06that she was pregnant with her boyfriend
10:08who was 11 years old.
10:10Because of poverty,
10:12she couldn't continue her studies
10:14in Grade 5.
10:16We interviewed her mother.
10:18She told us that on June 28,
10:20her daughter was admitted to the hospital
10:22after feeling nauseous.
10:24But when Hazel arrived at the hospital,
10:26she tested positive for COVID-19.
10:28This was also the reason
10:30why she refused to go to the hospital.
10:32They let *** out.
10:34They said
10:36she tested positive for COVID.
10:40Around 5.30 p.m.,
10:42they left the hospital
10:44and decided to go home.
10:46But while on the road,
10:48Hazel's car suddenly exploded.
10:50So she got out of the car
10:52and rushed to the hospital
10:54on this dirty road.
10:56That's a lie.
10:58We're here on the road.
11:00What do you think
11:02we should do?
11:04She witnessed
11:06the struggle of her daughter
11:08Hazel while she was on the road.
11:10She tested positive for COVID-19.
11:12I didn't know
11:14what to do.
11:16I said,
11:18my daughter,
11:20where are you?
11:22It hurts.
11:24I don't know
11:26what to do.
11:28There's the child.
11:30She's pregnant.
11:32We're on the road.
11:34We brought her here
11:36Do you think what they're doing is right?
11:38I said,
11:40why did you bring her here?
11:42This is for
11:44the poor.
11:46Why did you bring her here?
11:48She's like a dog.
11:50She's having a hard time.
11:52She's not pregnant.
11:54She's outside.
11:56Is it right to let this patient out?
11:58It's really bad.
12:00It's really sad.
12:02We didn't ask why you're here.
12:04When we arrived at the hospital,
12:06she was positive.
12:08We asked
12:10why she's still positive.
12:12You should have
12:14taken her to another room.
12:16You shouldn't have left her there.
12:18She's a human being.
12:20She's a mother.
12:22They shouldn't have done that.
12:24She's still on the road.
12:26She's like a pig.
12:28You took my daughter.
12:30They said
12:32she's pregnant.
12:34I said, she's not pregnant.
12:36You took my daughter.
12:38At that time,
12:40the mother
12:42and the child
12:44were both dead.
12:48Hazel is currently in a home quarantine
12:50with her newborn baby
12:52while being monitored by the barangay.
12:54We checked her
12:56umbilical cord.
12:58Her condition is fine.
13:00She doesn't have any infection.
13:02We gave her
13:04vitamin K,
13:06medicines, and steroids.
13:08Once the
13:10family members
13:12are negative,
13:14we can bring
13:16the baby to the
13:18Luis R.H.U.
13:20for a newborn screening.
13:22They also tested negative for COVID-19
13:24on July 4.
13:26In the last study
13:28by the Philippine Commission on Population and Development
13:30in 2021,
13:32more than
13:34136,000
13:36children between the ages of 7
13:38and 19
13:40were tested positive for COVID-19.
13:42This number increased to
13:44150,138
13:46in 2022.
13:48But there's no exact number
13:50of teenage pregnancy cases
13:52in 2023
13:54until the second quarter of 2024.
13:56Based on the study
13:58by the Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA,
14:001 in every 10 babies
14:02are born every day
14:04under the age of their mother.
14:06The Philippines also has the highest
14:08teenage pregnancy rate in Asia.
14:10We also need laws.
14:12Our laws
14:14in the Philippines
14:16are more strict
14:18regarding adolescent pregnancy.
14:20At the same time, services
14:22in local government units
14:24for adolescents
14:26aged 10 to 19
14:28need to have an information drive
14:30to protect themselves.
14:32In the demographic survey
14:34by the PSA,
14:36the poorest of the poor
14:38and rural areas
14:40have the highest number of teenage mothers.
14:42It means that
14:44the birth
14:46in the Philippines
14:48is a problem.
14:50There are not enough doctors and facilities.
14:52The Philippine Department of Health
14:54should actually work with the DILG
14:56as well as the DepEd
14:58on how we can actually have
15:00an extra fund for teenage pregnancy
15:02of children because it's all about funding.
15:06In 2022,
15:08the Department of Health or DOH launched
15:10the National Safe Motherhood Program
15:12or NSMP.
15:14The purpose of this program is to ensure
15:16that Filipino women
15:18have adequate access
15:20to services and facilities
15:22to have a safe
15:24pregnancy.
15:26Meanwhile,
15:28as Hazel became aware
15:30that she was rejected by the hospital,
15:32the reporter's notebook
15:34took the medicine seriously.
15:36What is the protocol
15:38for those like Hazel
15:40who are in an emergency situation
15:42but were infected by COVID-19?
15:44This past Wednesday,
15:46the reporter's notebook
15:48went to the hospital
15:50and refused to accept
15:52Hazel.
15:54We would like to clarify
15:56what is the truth
15:58about the measures
16:00against them.
16:02We will try to ask for an explanation
16:04as to why they refused to admit
16:06a minor
16:08who is close to 100.
16:11There she is!
16:13We are outside!
16:15The patient has arrived!
16:20There is the child!
16:22She is pregnant! We are on the street!
16:35The reporter's notebook
16:37went to the hospital
16:39and refused to accept Hazel.
16:41Someone's here!
16:45Hi!
16:47Good afternoon!
16:49I'm Mackie Pulido
16:51from GMA Sevens.
16:53I'm with the
16:55reporter's notebook.
16:57It's okay.
16:59You don't have a video.
17:03We talked to the officer in charge
17:05of the hospital.
17:07We wanted to give a statement
17:09because what we want to talk about
17:11before giving a statement
17:13is what the medical director
17:15wanted to talk about
17:17is the doctor who looked at the child
17:19who is close to 100.
17:21The problem is that the doctor
17:23is out of town.
17:25There's no reason to give
17:27but they are out of town
17:29and they cannot say when they will be back.
17:31What can you say now?
17:33A few days later,
17:35I'm sorry for the emergency!
17:37The hospital has not yet
17:39given an official statement
17:41about Hazel's experience.
17:43But the reporter's notebook
17:45is open to them.
17:47We also tried to get a statement
17:49from the Department of Health
17:51about what happened but they still
17:53did not respond.
17:57Meanwhile,
17:59the Barangay and
18:01Municipal Social Welfare Development Office
18:03of Lemery, Batangas
18:05sent Hazel and her newborn baby.
18:07They were also given groceries
18:09and medicines
18:11while they were recovering.
18:13Our job is always open
18:15for counseling
18:17so that they can overcome
18:19this situation.
18:21Hazel's mother
18:23wants to give her child justice
18:25because of the hospital's refusal
18:27to take care of her child.
18:29I want to pay back
18:31for what happened to my child.
18:33Two lives were lost
18:35that day and they did not help.
18:37I hope that
18:39no one will repeat
18:41what happened to my child.
18:43They should just accept
18:45where they were
18:47brought to the hospital.
18:49It's hard because
18:51their lives are at stake.
18:55The government always says
18:57that there are programs
18:59to protect people
19:01and newborn babies.
19:05But when it comes to life,
19:07it's clear that
19:09there are still many
19:11who do not deserve
19:13medical attention.
19:15So the question is,
19:17how long will Hazel
19:19and baby Chesca endure?
19:23I am Mackie Pulido.
19:25I am Dune Veneration
19:27and this is Reporters' Notebook.
