00:00There are people in the city of Malaybalay in Bukidnon who are being harassed because they are able to walk even though they are paralyzed and limp.
00:13To see is to believe.
00:16This is not for those who have a weak heart.
00:21But for those who have recovered, this is what they will endure.
00:28I'm already a year old.
00:29You're already a year old?
00:30Yes.
00:31You're still in pain?
00:32The 20 paralyzed patients who have not been able to walk for 8 years,
00:39were tortured and punished.
00:42It hurts!
00:43Is it still hurting?
00:43It hurts!
00:44My body hurts!
00:46Is it still hurting?
00:47They were even humiliated.
00:50It hurts!
00:53But after the torture session,
00:55Oh my! Oh my!
00:59Oh my! Oh my!
00:59Oh my! Oh my!
01:00Oh my! Oh my!
01:00Oh my! Oh my!
01:01Oh my! Oh my!
01:01Oh my! Oh my!
01:02Oh my! Oh my!
01:02Oh my! Oh my!
01:03The paralyzed patients who have not been able to walk for 8 years,
01:06Oh my! Oh my!
01:11were tortured and punished.
01:15From Panabo, Davao del Norte.
01:19A few weeks after the torture session,
01:22she was able to walk again.
01:26After I was drafted from the military, I was able to walk again.
01:29I was able to walk again.
01:30I can't imagine that I can walk again.
01:33I don't feel any pain anymore.
01:34In 2015, the paralyzed patients had a problem.
01:38I was able to go to the doctor.
01:40They told me that I had a loss of fluid in my liver.
01:42What kind of medicine did she take?
01:45When I drink, I feel relieved.
01:48But when I don't drink anymore, I feel nauseous.
01:50I can't walk properly anymore.
01:51It hurts too much.
01:52To have medicine and surgery,
01:55they sold 3 hectares of land.
01:58We spent more than 100 pesos.
02:00We spent a lot of money.
02:02But it didn't affect me.
02:04Not just her 20 pesos,
02:07but also the hope that she will be able to walk again.
02:13Until May, she was able to watch her husband online.
02:17She saw a lot of people there.
02:19After the torture session, she was able to walk again.
02:22So last month,
02:24from Panabo,
02:25she traveled for 5 hours
02:28to Malaybalay City in Bukidnon
02:30to undergo the torture session.
02:32When we arrived,
02:33there was no ceremony.
02:34I just lay down.
02:35I'm 30 years old.
02:37You're 30 years old?
02:38Oh my God!
02:40Oh my God!
02:41Oh my God!
02:42Oh my God!
02:43It hurts more than before.
02:45It hurts so much.
02:48But she said that everything she did was worth it.
02:51And she cried.
02:52Oh my God!
02:53Oh my God!
02:54Oh my God!
02:55Oh my God!
02:56I stood up.
02:57I can walk again.
02:58Thank God.
03:00Oh my God!
03:01Oh my God!
03:02Oh my God!
03:03Oh my God!
03:04Oh my God!
03:05I can't imagine that I can walk again.
03:07It doesn't hurt anymore.
03:08Ligamentous laxity,
03:09these are our shoulders.
03:11Usually, it can be seen all over our body,
03:13on the shoulders,
03:14on the neck,
03:15on the thighs.
03:16They are the ones that stop our movement
03:18when there is too much excess movement.
03:20Laxity is where it softens or weakens.
03:24There are no studies that show that
03:26massage or acupressure alone
03:28can treat or cure ligamentous laxity.
03:31If the ligamentous laxity is mild,
03:33they can heal on their own.
03:35But if it's too severe,
03:37that's where we offer surgery.
03:39Cesar doesn't have a clinic
03:43and what he uses for his treatment is this.
03:49I started with a simple massage.
03:53Then, I applied it to my brain
03:56until it was true.
03:59It was only 7 in the morning
04:01when the masseurs arrived.
04:03No!
04:06That's enough.
04:08Cesar doesn't have a device
04:10or any ointment or ointment he uses.
04:13His instrument is his hands.
04:18Ouch!
04:20Ouch!
04:24I can't explain.
04:25It's so painful.
04:28Ouch!
04:29Ouch!
04:30I endured the pain to get better.
04:32After many days of being pulled by Cesar,
04:35the callus on his hand grew.
04:38It's been more than 10 years.
04:42Richard even left Baguio
04:44in hopes of getting rid of his MND
04:48or Motor Neurone Disease
04:50that affects his speech and movement.
04:55Ouch!
04:56Ouch!
04:58Ouch!
05:00Richard almost cried because of the pain
05:03while Cesar was pinching his foot.
05:08If they don't scream,
05:10they won't be able to move.
05:12They should be able to scream.
05:13It's even better now
05:15that Richard can move his fingers.
05:18We're from New Zealand.
05:19It's a big help
05:24that we're waiting for.
05:30They said there's no cure,
05:32but I can see there's an improvement.
05:35We're thankful that they gave us hope.
05:38He won't get better.
05:40He's incurable.
05:42There are treatments,
05:43but this treatment is to slow down his progress
05:47because it's a progressive disease.
05:49Lola Francisca even rented a tricycle
05:53to go from Valencia City
05:55to Malaybalay City to get Cesar's treatment.
05:58We're heavy.
05:59I can't carry it.
06:00It's heavy.
06:01I can't even take a bath.
06:04At first,
06:05Lola Francisca was nervous
06:07because of the screams of her patients.
06:10I can't breathe.
06:12I can't breathe.
06:14I can't breathe.
06:16I can't breathe.
06:21Until she was almost 20 years old,
06:25she was able to move slowly.
06:29I can't breathe.
06:30I can't breathe.
06:31I can't breathe.
06:32I can't breathe.
06:33I can't breathe.
06:34I can't breathe.
06:35I can't breathe.
06:36Lola has a history of trauma.
06:39She slipped and fell.
06:40Since then,
06:41she hasn't been able to walk.
06:42We can't say if this is a stroke
06:45or the reason why she can't walk
06:47is because of trauma.
06:48If it's because of trauma,
06:50you can go back.
06:51Even if they don't go back to their normal state,
06:55there are significant improvements.
06:58It's not like before
06:59when the patient was still a baby.
07:01Now,
07:02you can't walk in
07:04to get Cesar's treatment.
07:06There should be a schedule.
07:08It's my mistake.
07:09We're just controlling it.
07:10Like Alvina from Davao City,
07:13who waited for 2 months
07:15before she got a slot.
07:17Alvina has been using Tungkod for 3 years
07:20after she had a stroke.
07:22I haven't slept for 3 months.
07:24I can't get up.
07:27In the hope of getting her teeth back,
07:30Alvina used up all of Cesar's strength.
07:34Ouch!
07:35It hurts.
07:36And when she tried to run after Lutin,
07:41she was shocked
07:42when she was able to walk
07:44without needing to use Tungkod.
07:47I was shocked.
07:48I didn't know how to use Tungkod.
07:50But now,
07:51I can improve after using Tungkod.
07:53Even if you're paralyzed
07:55for the first week of your stroke,
07:57in the next few months,
07:59you can recover somehow.
08:01Our brain has its own way
08:04to heal itself.
08:06Especially if we combine
08:08physical therapy and rehabilitation therapy.
08:14But where did Cesar learn
08:16how to do this?
08:20Cesar used to own a junk shop
08:23until he became interested
08:25in acupressure,
08:27a traditional method of stretching
08:30from traditional Chinese medicine
08:32that uses pressure
08:34to stimulate the point
08:36or part of the body.
08:37We're just pressure points.
08:38It's just strength.
08:39We don't need healing.
08:40We don't need anything.
08:42And it's not just the demon
08:44that makes her legs walk.
08:47She usually uses nerve damage,
08:50stroke, sciatic nerves,
08:51migraine,
08:52insomnia,
08:53insomnia,
08:54frozen shoulder.
08:55Although,
08:56there are also diseases
08:58that she can't treat.
09:01Cancer.
09:02We don't treat it.
09:03Dialysis.
09:04It's itchy.
09:05It's not allowed
09:06to have an operation.
09:07That's why it's called mind over body.
09:08It's not just an itch
09:09that hurts you.
09:10The target is
09:11to wake their brains up.
09:12I looked at the tests.
09:14The most common side effects
09:16when it's wrong
09:17is usually,
09:18it's more likely
09:19that the area is hurting.
09:20Patients with
09:21deep venous thrombosis
09:23used to have
09:24bruises on their feet
09:26roots.
09:27And if it's an itch
09:29or a bruise,
09:31it might spread
09:33and go to the brain
09:35If you have a heart attack,
09:36you have a stroke
09:37or a heart attack.
09:38But that's very rare.
09:39And usually,
09:40practitioners are trained
09:41to avoid that.
09:42Placebo effect,
09:43the patient may feel better
09:45after a treatment.
09:46And it can be explained by
09:48possibly the wanting
09:50to get better.
09:51So because of that,
09:52it could invoke
09:54the production of
09:55certain neurotransmitters
09:56such as dopamine
09:57or the release of endorphins.
09:59So a lot of it
10:00would be associated
10:02to pain relief.
10:03However,
10:04placebo effect
10:05does not cure
10:06the actual illness.
10:09I can't do anything
10:10if they don't believe me.
10:11I never ask
10:12for pesos
10:13or donations.
10:14Can we know
10:15how much
10:16you earn
10:17per day?
10:18As long as it's big.
10:19Per digit.
10:20To be honest,
10:21that's why I'm making this video.
10:22I just want to show
10:23that it's possible
10:24to treat
10:25when there's no medicine.
10:26I don't know how
10:27to monetize that.
10:28My son said,
10:29we can make money
10:30from this.
10:31We're making money
10:32so let's continue.
10:33But because
10:34Cesar is getting old,
10:35his patients
10:36are getting
10:37more expensive.
10:38His son,
10:39John,
10:40is getting
10:41more expensive.
10:42We talked to him
10:43and he said,
10:44I'll just help.
10:45It's okay.
10:46It's a reflection
10:47of the poverty
10:48situation
10:49in the Philippines.
10:50It's still
10:51not solved.
10:52The poverty
10:53and poverty
10:54in the whole
10:55healthcare system
10:56is different
10:57even from
10:58a faraway place.
10:59But they really
11:00know that
11:01it's better
11:02and cheaper.
11:03Let's say,
11:04you can get
11:05what you want.
11:07Because of poverty,
11:08and expensive
11:09medical expenses,
11:10we have a lot
11:11of countrymen
11:12especially
11:13in faraway places
11:14who are ready
11:15to endure
11:16the pain
11:17and suffering
11:18of poverty
11:19no matter
11:20how hard
11:21it is.
11:29This is
11:30the new
11:31trick
11:32of today.
11:33You can win
11:34millions
11:35of pesos
11:36per month.
11:37But
11:38this is also
11:39the reason
11:40why there are
11:41more people
11:42who are
11:43in debt.
11:45This is
11:46what is
11:47making our
11:48countrymen
11:49suffer.
11:51And this
11:52is also
11:53waking them
11:54up
11:55to the fact
11:56that they
11:57can win.
11:58For almost
11:593 years,
12:00I've won
12:01more than
12:022 million pesos.
12:03I bought
12:05a gambling
12:06that according
12:07to the players
12:08is addictive.
12:09I became
12:10addicted
12:11and I can't
12:12control it anymore.
12:13But because
12:14of this online
12:15casino game,
12:16their lives
12:17became
12:18a mess.
12:19I sold
12:20my car,
12:21my two motorcycles,
12:22my belongings.
12:26This is
12:27Scatter.
12:35In Zamboanga
12:36City,
12:37we met
12:38a businessman
12:39and buccaneer
12:40who participated
12:41in beauty
12:42contests.
12:43His name is
12:44Cheska.
12:46He admitted
12:47that he was
12:48addicted to Scatter
12:49and he only
12:50played here.
12:51My friend
12:52used to play here.
12:53His capital
12:54is about
12:555,000 pesos.
12:56Then he won
12:57almost 70,000.
13:01Unlike
13:02other slot
13:03machine games
13:04where you have to
13:05line up
13:06the same
13:07symbols,
13:08in Scatter,
13:09there are only
13:103 or more
13:11symbols
13:12that are the
13:13same.
13:14Even if you don't
13:15line up,
13:16there is a
13:17prize.
13:20If the wild
13:21cards come out
13:22and the 3 coins
13:23that are
13:24indicated
13:25as Scatter
13:26fall,
13:27that's the big
13:28win.
13:29My first
13:30deposit is
13:315,000 pesos.
13:32I won
13:3360,000 pesos
13:34in my first
13:35game.
13:36I won
13:3770,000,
13:3850,000,
13:39and then
13:4080,000.
13:41I bought
13:42a water dispenser,
13:43I bought
13:44a TV.
13:46But not
13:47every day
13:48is Christmas.
13:49I also lost
13:50and lost
13:51and lost.
13:52Then I fought
13:53my ego.
13:54I deposited
13:55almost 70,000,
13:5680,000
13:57in my everyday
13:58capital.
14:00I was so
14:01depressed.
14:02My world
14:03was just spinning
14:04and I sometimes
14:05couldn't sleep
14:06for almost
14:07two days.
14:08Until
14:09Cheska lost
14:10her time
14:11in her
14:12rackets.
14:13I earn
14:14from car
14:15wash,
14:16Wi-Fi,
14:17life selling.
14:18That's all
14:19I earn.
14:20But while
14:21I was focusing
14:22on the game,
14:23I lost it.
14:24Cheska
14:25didn't notice
14:26that she was
14:27getting
14:28in trouble.
14:29I was so
14:30worried
14:31that I would
14:32get back
14:33what I lost.
14:34I sold
14:35my car,
14:36my two
14:37motorcycles,
14:38my belongings.
14:39Also because
14:40of the
14:41scatter,
14:42her relationship
14:43with her
14:44British
14:45fiancé
14:46from the
14:47UK was
14:48ruined.
14:49I lied to
14:50them that
14:51I would
14:52go to them
14:53but the
14:54real story
14:55was that
14:56none of
14:57my belongings
14:58were left.
14:59I sold
15:00all of
15:01my car
15:02washing machines.
15:03One day,
15:04I realized
15:05that none of
15:06my belongings
15:07were left.
15:08Three months
15:09later,
15:10I lost
15:11a million.
15:12In the past,
15:13you can see
15:14water dispensers
15:15here,
15:16big TVs,
15:17and everything
15:18was lost.
15:19You can see
15:20a lot of
15:21bags here
15:22but only
15:23this was left.
15:24In the past,
15:25my shoes
15:26were very
15:27comfortable
15:28as in,
15:29my life was
15:30very comfortable.
15:31Now,
15:32I cry about
15:33everything.
15:34Chesca was
15:35separated
15:36by her
15:37fiancé.
15:38She gave
15:39me a big
15:40opportunity
15:41but I
15:42took it for
15:43granted.
15:44She is now
15:45in debt.
15:46I owe
15:47more than
15:48P100,000.
15:49If you
15:50don't pay,
15:51you are
15:52in debt.
15:53She can't
15:54support
15:55me.
15:56I feel
15:57like I'm
15:58useless.
15:59I was
16:00surprised
16:01by what
16:02happened to
16:03her.
16:04I really
16:05can't do anything.
16:06I don't
16:07want to cry
16:08because
16:09I'm telling
16:10her
16:11that it's
16:12a waste.
16:13But
16:14Chesca
16:15is trying
16:16to get back
16:17up.
16:18Maybe
16:19I'll
16:20do
16:21life sailing
16:22again.
16:23I promise
16:25to
16:26not
16:27cry.
16:28I hope
16:29she will
16:30find
16:31peace
16:32when she
16:33can.
16:34Because
16:35I don't
16:36want to
16:37cry.
16:38I hope
16:39she will
16:40find
16:41peace
16:42when she
16:43can.
16:44I'm
16:45very
16:46thankful
16:47to
16:48Chesca
16:49because
16:50she gave
16:51me hope
16:52and
16:53I even lost my budget for groceries and cash-in.
16:59Instead of preparing my son for his birthday,
17:03he didn't prepare for it because of the money he spent on gambling.
17:09Because of the consecutive losses,
17:11his head became hot.
17:14He was furious and he got angry immediately.
17:17He even borrowed money from some of his gamblers
17:20until one day,
17:22someone called me and asked for money.
17:26I told him that I have money.
17:28He told me to use it.
17:29I lied to him.
17:30He told me that he invested online.
17:34My husband paid for it.
17:36But because he was desperate to get his money back,
17:41I told my husband that
17:43I borrowed money for groceries and cash-in.
17:46He gave me 20,000 pesos.
17:49What's that?
17:50But Arlene's lies
17:52made my husband angry.
17:54I got angry.
17:54I don't want to see her.
17:55I don't talk to her.
17:56I want to divorce her.
17:59It's hard to earn money.
18:00I'll just gamble.
18:02Their son is still jealous of Jerry.
18:06He can't forgive him.
18:09I realized that he might change.
18:11And I really love him.
18:14But Arlene
18:15didn't stop.
18:17She borrowed money from her family
18:21so that she can still have money to spend.
18:24I thought that if I won,
18:26I could help with the expenses.
18:28And this time,
18:30she lost.
18:3370,000 pesos.
18:35I was really mad at her.
18:36You can't do that.
18:37That's child's money.
18:39I just used our savings
18:41to pay her debts.
18:44I was just thinking about myself.
18:45I didn't think about them.
18:47It was like an addiction
18:48that I couldn't control.
18:50I didn't gamble.
18:51I just told her,
18:52you're just at home.
18:53You're gambling.
18:54You can't see my sacrifice.
18:56Even if I gave up,
18:58I'd go in to earn a lot of money.
19:00And you're just gambling.
19:01I didn't dream that
19:02I'd marry a gambler.
19:04I blamed her.
19:05I lied.
19:07I wasted money.
19:08It's hard to earn money.
19:11I just gambled.
19:16She apologized.
19:17She said she wouldn't do it again.
19:19She said she'd change.
19:21Will Jerry be able to forgive
19:24his wife's gambling addiction?
19:26If you do it again,
19:28I'll divorce you.
19:29I won't come back to you.
19:30Even if we have kids.
19:32There's a thing called
19:34gambler's fallacy.
19:35Wherein,
19:36when you bet,
19:37let's say you lost a bet,
19:39you think,
19:40because I lost,
19:42I'll win the next bet.
19:44So you'll bet again.
19:45You'll say,
19:45I lost again.
19:47So you'll do it again.
19:48First of all,
19:48you need to keep them away
19:50from where they're addicted.
19:51So if you can't control
19:54gambling,
19:55if you can't get it from simple counseling,
19:57usually they'll go to therapy.
19:59They'll go to a rehab center
20:02to get rid of their addiction.
20:06To pay his debts,
20:08Arlene is now working
20:10as a service crew.
20:12She's changing.
20:13She doesn't get angry easily.
20:15We're getting back at her.
20:17I'm thankful to her because
20:19even if she didn't leave me right away,
20:23she didn't take me.
20:25Definitely,
20:26no one wins and becomes rich
20:28from gambling.
20:28Because first,
20:29if you win a bet,
20:30you'll want to gamble again.
20:32It's called easy money.
20:34Second, if you lose,
20:36you'll want to make up
20:37and you'll do everything
20:39to win again.
20:41Invest in mature ways.
20:43If you have enough money,
20:45you can save
20:46and save on important things.
20:49But we also have other guests
20:52who play this online game
20:55that they say they can control themselves
20:58while playing.
20:59There's nothing wrong with it
21:00as long as you can control yourself.
21:02And if you're unlucky,
21:04you're out.
21:04I have a goal every day.
21:06For example, if I lose 500,
21:08I'm out
21:09because I don't get angry anymore.
21:10My cards,
21:11if I win,
21:12I cash out right away.
21:14The extra money you have
21:15is what you use to gamble.
21:16The online game platform
21:18that Cheska and Arlene play
21:22can be found on the official website of PAGOR.
21:25It means
21:27they're licensed.
21:29Our team emailed
21:31the manager
21:32who promotes this online game
21:34to ask for their comment
21:36on the cases of Cheska and Arlene.
21:39But they didn't answer our message.
21:42But in our survey,
21:44there are many sites
21:45where you can play this game.
21:47We tried to ask PAGOR
21:50about the cases of addicts
21:53in this online game.
21:55But they didn't make an interview first
21:58because they're afraid
21:59of their relief operations
22:01because of the typhoon
22:03Kareena and Nang Habagan.
22:05Don't try it
22:06because your life will be ruined.
22:08There's nothing you can do about it.
22:10To those like me,
22:11mothers,
22:12just stop
22:13because it will only ruin your family.
22:18No matter what gamble,
22:20it can be a vice.
22:22It's up to you
22:23how you can control yourself
22:26so that your life
22:27won't be destroyed
22:29and
22:30ruined.
