00:00He is the one who is often asked about his health, that's why many were surprised when he himself was experiencing a stage 4 sarcoma cancer.
00:18Dr. Willie Ong, how are you?
00:21Good day, our topic is good.
00:24You don't have to go to his clinic anymore. Because of his knowledge and medical advice, he gives free online.
00:3495 or more diseases can be avoided, we will only follow 6 things. Let's see.
00:42He has millions of followers for his practical health tips.
00:49Because if our attitude is positive, we will be better. Just do what your body can do.
00:56Don't let sickness poison your mind.
00:58He is the renowned doctor of the country, the doctor turned social media influencer, Dr. Willie Ong.
01:06Let's share with our countrymen so that they can help.
01:10I first interviewed him in 2020 during the pandemic.
01:15Hi Dr. Willie Ong, where did you get the idea to go online?
01:19When I became a doctor, Jessica, I really wanted to help.
01:23I treat patients, I give them free services, whatever I earn, I also help others.
01:29But I saw that it is tiring to go to the clinic every day for 40 patients.
01:33So I thought, how can I help more?
01:35I released my energy on YouTube and Facebook.
01:38Good day, Dr. Willie Ong.
01:41I have millions of followers on your vlogs.
01:44First factor, our country lacks healthcare.
01:47They have no one to ask.
01:48If they can get information from others, they won't go here to the vlog.
01:52My beloved partner, the doctor of the country, Dr. Willie Ong.
01:58The following year, he declared that he will run for vice president in the 2022 elections.
02:05Free operations, free lab tests, that's really what we lack. That's why we run.
02:11But he was disqualified from his post.
02:17The election was over, but the voters didn't.
02:22We don't just need to eat and exercise.
02:26Since then, he went back to where he first fell in love with Madla,
02:30by giving health tips in his vlogs.
02:34Do something that can relieve your stress.
02:37How are you, my beloved followers? How are you?
02:41Until just last week, the public was shocked when he released his vlog.
02:47Let me just update you on my condition.
02:50Don't cry, I'm still alive.
02:53My relatives do not want me to make this video.
02:57But I said, I owe it to the Filipino people to be honest to them.
03:02Dr. Willie Ong told,
03:05My diagnosis is sarcoma.
03:11One of the most hardest cancer to treat.
03:14The cancer situated itself in a very tricky and devious manner.
03:21See, it is hard to swallow.
03:35Aside from that, I don't call cancer savage.
03:40He swallowed my esophagus.
03:50I need more oxygen.
03:56They say I have a short chance to be alive.
03:59I don't know if I will still be alive.
04:01I don't know if I will still be alive tomorrow.
04:06Ouch.
04:07It hurts.
04:09It hurts.
04:10My skull hurts.
04:12By the way, this skull is huge.
04:15One of the biggest they've ever seen.
04:18About 16 centimeters.
04:20It's that big.
04:21Where does it hide?
04:22Why didn't I notice?
04:24It also blocked my right atrium.
04:26Almost compressing my heart.
04:29He also had a heart attack.
04:31He said he was in pain.
04:33He probably got it from the stress he felt during the election campaign.
04:38After the election in May 2022,
04:42I felt better.
04:43I didn't feel anything.
04:45Although, I feel like there's always something heavy.
04:48But I noticed that in April 2023,
04:52I was already having a hard time with my medical mission.
04:55I was tired.
04:58I felt like I was going to pass out.
05:00I was expecting this.
05:02I was aging.
05:03It was my 60th birthday.
05:04I was a senior.
05:05I didn't feel anything yet.
05:07I had an ultrasound there.
05:09One year ago, it was okay.
05:11Blood test, it was okay.
05:13My back has been hurting for a long time.
05:15But this time,
05:16suddenly, there was a pain here on the top.
05:19My back pain was only here on the bottom.
05:21Because it was bulging.
05:23My back hurts a lot.
05:26And my symptoms are different.
05:28It's bulging here.
05:30Lift me up.
05:37I'm ready.
05:38I have my glasses.
05:47Hi, Doc.
05:49Jessica, I'll show you.
05:51Okay.
05:53Can you see me?
05:54Yes.
05:55It's good to see you.
05:56You're still handsome even without hair.
05:59I can't hear you.
06:00Last Thursday,
06:01through a video call,
06:03I greeted Dr. Willie Ong,
06:05who is currently in Singapore.
06:08I'm having a hair cut.
06:09You're still handsome even without hair.
06:12You're still the Dr. Willie Ong we know.
06:15I thought you were just telling the truth, Jessica.
06:18No, it's true.
06:19I'm not lying, Doc.
06:20And it's good to see you.
06:22And I chose not to wear a wig
06:24so that they can see the truth.
06:36It's okay, Doc.
06:37We can wait.
06:38It's okay.
06:48Oh, God.
06:51Oh, God.
06:54Okay, Jessica.
06:55I'm ready.
07:01It's 50-50.
07:0250% to live a few more months, a year.
07:0650% any time.
07:12Every day is a blessing.
07:14I just live every day.
07:15I don't think of next month,
07:17next year.
07:18I don't think about owning money,
07:20doing this,
07:22or getting into high positions.
07:24I got the worst pain.
07:26It's 10 out of 10, Jessica.
07:42If somebody told me,
07:43he will give me dormicum
07:45and let me sleep it off.
07:46And die.
07:47It's okay for me.
07:48I would have taken it.
07:50Maybe that's why we should think about euthanasia.
07:53It's really hard.
07:55Sometimes, we prolong life too much.
07:58Maybe that's not the mission.
08:00I think the purpose of this life
08:02is just to finish your mission.
08:04I had visions before that time.
08:07I saw my mom,
08:08who died two years ago.
08:10My mom in my dream.
08:11She was taking me.
08:13She called me,
08:14Come to me.
08:15Come to me.
08:16Come to me.
08:17It's like my mom said,
08:18You've done your job on earth.
08:20You've done it for 60 years.
08:22I've been doing it for 25 years.
08:23The patient is not paid.
08:26The pharma company is not paid.
08:29I don't have 14 trips abroad.
08:31Campaign Senator 2019.
08:33How much did I spend?
08:34500,000.
08:35Campaign with ISCO.
08:37I didn't receive any money.
08:38I could have gotten tens of millions.
08:40But no.
08:41Thank you very much.
08:42God bless.
08:43I love you very much.
08:44They say,
08:45You'll lose.
08:46You'll lose.
08:47You learn a lot from losing.
08:49There are people who are sick and in need.
08:52Doc Willie still can't stop thinking.
08:55I want to help those in the province,
08:58those who are in need.
09:00Our fellow countrymen are going through this.
09:03Those who are sick.
09:04And I hope,
09:05the politicians will think
09:08that what they should prioritize
09:10is the country,
09:11and not themselves.
09:12You know, I really feel guilty here, Jessica.
09:15Why?
09:16I should have died in the Philippines.
09:18I was sure I would be dead in 3 to 4 days.
09:21Because our healthcare is so slow.
09:23Wow.
09:24The biopsy results,
09:26I have to wait 1 to 2 weeks.
09:28Here, their biopsy is half a day.
09:30It's already there.
09:31These are the holes of the biopsy.
09:34Biopsy 1,
09:35Biopsy 2.
09:36I need a PET scan.
09:38How many places do we have a PET scan?
09:40Here, in one hour,
09:42it's already ready.
09:43So when I was here,
09:44I was surprised that many politicians come here.
09:48If the politicians are coming here,
09:50you won't be affected by our fellow countrymen.
09:53Whether you're rich or poor,
09:54you're trapped in the Philippines.
09:56They have 3 advantages in healthcare
09:58that we don't have.
09:59They have speed.
10:00It's fast.
10:01When I got here,
10:02they said,
10:03in 48 hours,
10:05we will give you your treatment.
10:07Do you know 48 hours?
10:09PET scan, CT scan, 2D echo, biopsy.
10:14I also have genetic testing abroad.
10:16On the 48-hour chemo,
10:18I immediately have the medicine.
10:19In the Philippines,
10:20I have to wait 1 to 2 weeks.
10:22In the Philippines,
10:24even Dr. Willie Ong,
10:25you're still alive.
10:26What if you have 1 delacruz?
10:28That's why I feel guilty.
10:30Dr. Willie Ong's sarcoma cancer
10:34is a type of rare cancer
10:37that develops in the bones
10:39and soft tissues of our body.
10:41Cancer may come from genetic mutation,
10:44especially if there are many children
10:46who also have cancer
10:48exposed to environmental factors
10:51such as radiation,
10:53such as exposure to chemicals.
10:55It has nothing to do with food.
10:58It just happens.
10:59In his case,
11:00after 22 elections,
11:03and negative comments
11:06I said,
11:07bashing causes the tumor.
11:09Maybe you can reduce it.
11:11Because now,
11:12you see,
11:13it's all,
11:14I pray for you now.
11:15The stock market is changing.
11:16And I'm getting stronger.
11:17I mean,
11:18what have I got to lose?
11:19I just play by ear.
11:20If I'm alive,
11:21I'll help.
11:22But now,
11:23I don't think about it
11:24because maybe I'm in the second team.
11:25You see,
11:26I'm resting.
11:27Stress reduces our strength.
11:29It lowers our immune system.
11:32It has no direct cause of cancer.
11:34You're stressed,
11:35that's why you get cancer.
11:36It's not like that.
11:37What we can do
11:38with sarcoma,
11:39which is easy to see
11:40because you have a tumor that's growing,
11:42don't wait for it to grow
11:44before you take it to the doctor.
11:46But those like tumors
11:48that are inside,
11:50maybe we shouldn't care
11:52if we have symptoms
11:54like you think
11:55your back hurts.
11:56But persistent,
11:57let's not care.
11:58I won't ask anymore, Doc.
12:00Because you have to be okay.
12:02I'll give you two questions
12:04because you're Jessica Soho.
12:05Do you feel like the Lord
12:07wants you to do something?
12:09Yes.
12:10That's why I'm alive.
12:11100%, I'm sure.
12:12They'll all go to jail.
12:14If we, as politicians,
12:16are fighting,
12:17what else can we do?
12:19Healthcare,
12:20PhilHealth,
12:21we don't have time.
12:22We are our own worst enemy.
12:24Are you ready?
12:26What will the doctor say?
12:27If there's still hope?
12:29If there's no hope,
12:31that's it, that's it, that's it.
12:33My grade will come out
12:35on October 9.
12:36Let's scan, repeat.
12:37There are only three answers.
12:39Sometimes it's better
12:40not to think about it, right?
12:41Just say, bad news.
12:42If we're going to pray for you,
12:44Doc, I hope you get better
12:46because we still have a lot
12:48of people asking for help
12:50from you,
12:52medical advice.
12:54Doc, can we pray?
12:56I want to meet my wife.
12:58Hi, Doc Lisa.
13:00Let's pray.
13:02Thank you, Doc.
13:03Dear God,
13:04help Doc Willie.
13:06Actually, he doesn't need help
13:09because he's strong.
13:11He's strong.
13:12So I pray for Doc Lisa
13:14to give her
13:16more courage
13:19to face this crisis with him.
13:22Thank you for the gift
13:23of Dr. Willie Ong
13:25who's been such
13:26an extraordinary light
13:28for all of us
13:30who need his medical expertise
13:34and knowledge and experience.
13:36He's been very selfless, Lord.
13:39Everything that he can give
13:41to those who ask for help,
13:43he gives it all.
13:45Whatever you want him to do,
13:48we just pray, Lord,
13:50to give him some medicine
13:52so he won't feel the pain
13:55because 10 out of 10
13:57is what he said
13:59is his pain threshold.
14:01So give him some magic pill
14:04that will reduce the pain
14:06or remove the pain
14:08so he can still go through
14:10what he's going through.
14:13For the people who care for him,
14:15Lord, give him strength
14:18and courage,
14:19his two children,
14:20and all the people
14:22who are close and dear to him.
14:24Thank you for everything, Lord.
14:25Lord, take care of him.
14:27He has such strong faith.
14:29I will not pray anymore
14:31to give him stronger faith
14:33because his faith is stronger
14:35than all of us,
14:37especially in what he's going through.
14:39Just embrace him,
14:40especially Dr. Lisa,
14:42to reduce their pain
14:44and anxiety
14:45in everything they're going through, Lord.
14:49Doc, thank you.
14:51I'm crying.
14:54Thank you so much
14:56for your prayer.
14:58Thank you, Dr. Jessica.
15:00Thank you so much.
15:03I love you all.
15:04I love you, Jessica.
15:06Thank you, Doc.
15:08Much appreciated.
15:11Let us continue to pray
15:14for Dr. Willie Ong
15:15and all those who are sick
15:18and our beloved country.
