00:00Schizophrenia is a mental illness where a person has hallucinations, delusions, and bad thoughts

00:07that affect their life and work.

00:11But what if one of your loved ones has it? Let's take a look at this.

00:17In 2020, the same year when Ruslan Kulikov was born,

00:23is also the year when his father was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

00:29But more than 24 years have passed since he was admitted to the Rehabilitation Center,

00:35and he still remains there.

00:38When Ruslan spent his entire life in a coma, he was barely able to be with his father.

00:45But despite this, he worked hard in life.

00:49Aside from being able to graduate from college,

00:52he is also a TV host, UNESCO ambassador,

00:57a beauty pageant title holder, and a schizophrenia advocate.

01:02Because of this, Ruslan's love for his father grew, and he shared his story with the world.

01:12And if that's true, we will now have Ruslan Kulikov with us.

01:16He is also our host here at RSP. Good morning.

01:19Rus, welcome back here to Rise and Shine, Philippines.

01:23Hello, good morning. Thank you, RV, Dianne.

01:27Hi, Ruslan. It's nice to see you again.

01:29We missed you here at RSP.

01:31But our discussion today is also about your personal experience and your advocacy.

01:38Everything you posted online started with your story about your father's illness.

01:42What inspired you to have the courage to share this story in public about your father, Ruslan?

01:52Thank you, Dianne.

01:53Actually, before, I was hesitating about sharing this speech.

01:59Because we all know that some Filipinos are very not knowledgeable.

02:06You know, we're not really ready to receive knowledge regarding mental health.

02:17We need to break the stereotype regarding mental health.

02:23That's why I started joining pageants before.

02:27Maybe this is my main purpose.

02:29That's why I succeeded in some part of pageantry.

02:36Not just here in the Philippines, but also internationally.

02:39Because I think my advocacy really means a lot to those people.

02:44When I posted on TikTok, I realized that a lot of people have experienced this illness.

02:53Rus, let's go back to when you were a kid.

02:56You didn't have any money when your father was admitted to the rehabilitation center.

03:02How did your mother understand you?

03:05How old were you when you understood your father's condition?

03:09Actually, until that time, when I was a kid, I didn't have any ADHD.

03:14Even my grandmother, who raised me, always told me when I go to school,

03:21if they ask me where my father is, I should tell them where I am.

03:24Maybe it's because they're taking care of me.

03:27Or maybe later, if I tell them where I am,

03:30for example, I told them at the rehabilitation center,

03:32they would say that my father is crazy.

03:34But what we do not know is that

03:37what we do not know is that this is just an illness,

03:41same with other illnesses.

03:43It's just a coincidence that this illness is called schizophrenia.

03:46It's just another part of the organ, which is our brain.

03:51At that time, it was hard for me to explain it as a kid.

03:54But as I grew older, I understood it better.

03:59And it's a big part of my pageantry

04:04as to why I got to know this illness and understand it better.

04:08It's not just for me,

04:10there are more people who know about it,

04:13even my family members,

04:15that schizophrenia is okay,

04:17it's not just because you're crazy.

04:21There's a reason for everything.

04:23There's a reason why my father has schizophrenia.

04:26Because prior to the diagnosis of schizophrenia,

04:30he was really okay.

04:32He was a normal person before.

04:34How is your father now, Ross?

04:38He's okay.

04:40He's still in the rehabilitation center.

04:42There, in the rehab,

04:45they have their activities every day.

04:48There are some...

04:50There are some OJTs who go there.

04:54They have a gathering.

04:56They're busy there.

04:58Yes, they're busy.

05:00They have their medications every day

05:02because it's hard

05:04if they don't take their medicine.

05:06Because schizophrenia,

05:08there's still no cure

05:10at this time.

05:12So they need to continue taking their medicine.

05:15That's what worries them.

05:17And they become normal

05:19after taking those meds.

05:21Okay, Ross,

05:23I was planning to start a charity organization

05:28because your father has a similar situation.

05:30Can you tell us about it?

05:32Actually, Audrey,

05:34the time has come

05:36that I want to make

05:38this charity a reality

05:40because

05:42when I started

05:44I posted on TikTok

05:46and a lot of people discovered

05:48that not only my father experienced this,

05:50but a lot of families

05:52experienced this

05:54illness

05:57with their family members.

05:59So, in part with UNESCO,

06:01I'm trying to reach them out

06:03on what we can do

06:05especially here in the Philippines

06:07or what we can do

06:09in collaboration regarding this

06:11illness

06:13that we Filipinos don't know much about.

06:15What is schizophrenia?

06:17So, a lot of people

06:19have this illness.

06:21I think 1% of Filipinos

06:23have this illness.

06:25Well, Ross, thank you for sharing your story

06:27on Rise and Giant Philippines.

06:29I hope you can come back here

06:31so that we can feel you again

06:33here on RSVLive.

06:35Thank you again for sharing this story

06:37and you are an inspiration to many people.

06:39Your advocacy is a big help

06:41for those who are experiencing the same experience

06:43like your father.

06:45Thank you, Ross, and we hope to see you soon.
