00:00Because there is no roof, Apol has a hard time when it rains, just like the day we brought him.
00:10He only uses a hammock and trapal to shelter himself from the rain.
00:18The rain was heavy last night. How are you?
00:22You didn't get wet.
00:26Don't cry.
00:28You know, there are strokes that can be recovered.
00:34There's a video right now.
00:37What doesn't move is this.
00:39You don't move this.
00:42This.
00:43Your hand moves.
00:44You're like this.
00:46Oh, it moves.
00:48The other hand moves.
00:50The other foot moves.
00:53Oh, so only the foot doesn't move.
00:58Even though it's hard for him to speak, Apol feels that he wants to get rid of the pain he's experiencing.
01:05But you can speak.
01:07It's hard.
01:09Just a little?
01:10It's hard.
01:11You're having a hard time.
01:13Which part of your face are you having a hard time?
01:16It's hard.
01:17There. Is that better?
01:18The other side?
01:19No.
01:21But it's good that you're moving your hand.
01:24You know, Apol, other strokes,
01:27it's really half the body.
01:30You only move your foot and this part.
01:34You can do it.
01:35You just need therapy.
01:37You're crying.
01:38Yes.
01:39Do you move your toes?
01:43Do it like that.
01:44There, it's moving a little.
01:46There, right?
01:48There.
01:49Even if it's just a small movement,
01:52even if it's just a small movement,
01:54your foot, your toes,
01:56just do it like that, okay?
01:58Even if it's just a little, okay?
02:01Yes.
02:02Can you talk to Sheila?
02:05You can't talk to Sheila.
02:12Oh, it's heavy.
02:13It's heavy.
02:15Okay.
02:16You can do it.
02:17Just be careful, Ate.
02:18Don't go too fast.
02:22Yay!
02:26Yay!
02:28You're walking.
02:29You haven't had therapy yet,
02:30but you're already walking.
02:32You can do this, Ate.
02:37See?
02:40Are you tired?
02:41Are you tired?
02:42Are you tired?
02:43Are you tired?
02:44Huh?
02:45She's tired.
02:46She wants you to sit down.
02:48She's tired.
02:52Don't be surprised.
02:55Yay!
02:59We'll ask for help, okay?
03:01We'll ask for help,
03:02but you shouldn't cry.
03:03You should have a strong heart.
03:05Sheila told us
03:07that she's looking for you.
03:09Don't cry anymore.
03:10Your daughter loves you so much.
03:11She won't forget you.
03:14Hi, Ma'am.
03:15Good morning.
03:16I'm Cana.
03:17I'm Annalie.
03:18Hello, Ma'am Annalie.
03:20I'm so happy.
03:24Your return from the Mayor's Office
03:25was very good.
03:28This is Ate Apo.
03:31We brought the case of Apol
03:33to the Social Service Department
03:34of Muntinlupa City.
03:36First,
03:38let's go to the hospital.
03:39You,
03:40let's see if...
03:41Sosmon,
03:42we have
03:45rehab.
03:46Rehab
03:48services.
03:50You'll be rehabbed.
03:51They'll assist you.
03:52Because of a stroke.
03:53Is this a stroke?
03:54It's not a stroke.
03:55It's a stroke.
03:57Then,
03:58we'll take care of you.
04:00There are other things
04:01like
04:03your daily needs,
04:06where you can recover.
04:08There.
04:09Ms. Venus is our social worker
04:11in charge of you.
04:12Usually,
04:13when DSWD says
04:14what people think,
04:16you're the ones
04:17rescuing
04:18children
04:19in the streets,
04:21and things like that.
04:22But,
04:23DSWD also has
04:24a program
04:25for the elderly.
04:26Yes, Ma'am.
04:27What is the program?
04:28For Muntinlupa City,
04:30we're fortunate enough
04:31to build
04:32the City of Muntinlupa
04:34of Baykanlungan.
04:35Baykanlungan
04:36is what we call
04:37an elderly home.
04:38What are the requirements
04:40to be eligible
04:42to be placed
04:43in Baykanlungan?
04:45What kind of elderly
04:46are you rescuing?
04:48Abandoned,
04:50neglected,
04:51and surrendered.
04:53But mostly,
04:54the abandoned.
04:56So,
04:57mostly,
04:58our referral is
05:00from the hospital
05:01of Muntinlupa.
05:03When Apol heard this,
05:05a sweet smile
05:06came to her lips.
05:26When you go to Osmond,
05:27we'll be here
05:28or on the expressway.
05:32Okay.
05:38With the help of
05:39the Social Service Department
05:40of Muntinlupa City,
05:41Apol was brought to the hospital
05:43to see her condition.
05:52For me,
05:53based on that history alone
05:55and based on my physical
05:56examination of her,
05:57our diagnosis would be
05:59acute cerebral infarction
06:01or stroke.
06:02It can start
06:03as transient ischemic attack
06:05or mild stroke.
06:07So, these,
06:08especially transient ischemic attack,
06:10can be reversible.
06:12It may not progress.
06:13We may stop
06:15her condition.
06:18To prevent the effect
06:19of a stroke,
06:20emergency medical assistance
06:22is needed.
06:24As soon as there are
06:25symptoms of a stroke,
06:27the first thing to do
06:28is to call for help
06:30so that the patient
06:31can be immediately
06:32sent to the ER.
06:34Because all strokes
06:35need to be treated
06:37in the hospital.
06:39It can't be done
06:40in small clinics.
06:42It needs to be done
06:43in the hospital immediately.
06:44Because a frequent thing
06:45that neurologists say
06:47is time is brain.
06:49So, the earlier
06:50the medicine is given,
06:51the earlier the patient's
06:52stroke is controlled,
06:55the better the outcome
06:56because the injury
06:57will be less.
07:00Experts remind that
07:01therapy, rehabilitation,
07:04and maintenance are important
07:05to recover from a stroke.
07:08Because the recovery
07:09of a stroke patient
07:10is sometimes good,
07:12they don't take
07:13prevention seriously.
07:17They will say,
07:18I got better.
07:19I'm okay.
07:21But you really need
07:22to continuously monitor
07:24blood pressure,
07:26blood sugar, cholesterol.
07:28All of those
07:29need to be controlled.
07:31Stroke is not 100% preventable.
07:34It can really happen
07:35to anyone.
07:36Our goal is
07:37to reduce the risk.
07:39Unfortunately,
07:41the rate of stroke
07:42is increasing.
07:45Lifestyle factors
07:47are the main factors
07:48driving the increase
07:49in the population
07:50of stroke patients.
07:52After going through
07:53various tests
07:55to find out
07:56his condition,
07:57Apol was brought
07:58to a shelter
07:59in Muntinlupa City.
08:02The shelter
08:03serves as a shelter
08:04for the abandoned
08:06elderly in Muntinlupa.
08:09A message
08:10was received
08:11by his friends
08:12who are taking care of him.
08:15Take care of yourself.
08:16I told him
08:17that only you
08:18can help him.
08:22We told him,
08:23why are you crying?
08:24You can have someone
08:25take care of you.
08:27We don't have many
08:28elderly people
08:29who can take care of us.
