00:03 This fruit is in season now.
00:06 Before eating, you need to remove the skin of the fruit.
00:11 Squeeze the juice out of the fruit.
00:14 Or else, you might get the fruit's flesh stuck to your teeth.
00:20 This is called "Rambutan".
00:24 If you buy it here in Manila, it's not less than P100 per kilo.
00:30 But in the house of the Hernandez family in Taisan, Batangas, it's free.
00:37 Just right. And Betty's "Rambutan" tree has a lot of fruits.
00:41 We've been doing this for almost 10 years.
00:43 We were happy and now we're getting fruits.
00:46 The word, the son, the holy spirit, amen.
00:50 But the family was overwhelmed with anxiety when Betty's grandson, Cassie, ate "Rambutan".
00:58 He accidentally swallowed the seed that was stuck to his throat.
01:03 I heard my father and mother shouting, "Auntie, Auntie, Cassie is crying, help me."
01:12 My mother said, "Son, son, swallow it."
01:15 I said, "Lord, help me."
01:17 I said, "I need it."
01:20 Fruits of the present, "Rambutan".
01:31 But mothers, just remember your children.
01:35 Because the seed of "Rambutan" can be dangerous for your children.
01:43 Cassie, who is 6 years old, really loves "Rambutan".
01:47 Whenever I buy "Rambutan", it always makes us cry.
01:51 This afternoon, August 11, Cassie asked for "Rambutan" from his grandmother, Betty.
01:58 Cassie said, "I'll bring my mother."
02:00 When my son came, he was shocked. He said he didn't want it.
02:03 We didn't give it to him.
02:04 I tasted it, it's sour.
02:06 No, it's delicious.
02:08 But in the middle of eating "Rambutan", he suddenly choked.
02:13 I heard, "Ahh, ahh, ahh, Mama."
02:16 The sound of "Rambutan" was so hard for me.
02:19 The "Rambutan", the seed was drowned.
02:23 I was so scared. I didn't know what to do.
02:26 I said, "Lord, help me."
02:28 I said, "I need it."
02:30 My wife, she pinched me, but it wasn't strong.
02:37 The seed of the child might have fallen.
02:39 Until Cassie's aunt, Janice, became a grandmother.
02:43 I did the first aid, I know, hemlich maneuver.
02:46 But in the fourth time, when I was there, there was no more bleeding.
02:50 She was unconscious.
02:52 We put her in an ambulance.
02:54 She had a very pale bleeding, and her mouth was black.
02:57 When she arrived at the hospital, she had to be intubated.
03:00 If the tumor doesn't leave, it's hard.
03:02 If it lasts for 2 to 3 minutes, you're gone.
03:05 The brain cell is dying.
03:07 The seed of "Rambutan" that was planted in Cassie's throat was immediately taken.
03:12 We were so happy, we were at ease.
03:14 But the child was not saved.
03:17 The heart was no longer beating.
03:21 It was really gone, it was a flat line.
03:25 I don't understand when you feel pain.
03:32 I didn't expect it to happen, despite the small tumor.
03:35 It was the cause of her death.
03:37 Until now, Rodel can't accept the touch of his son.
03:46 Every afternoon, he comes back.
03:48 He always asks his father, "Why are you asking me to touch you?"
03:53 He just says he loves my father.
03:56 Then he hugs me, even when he's crying.
03:59 He's crying.
04:00 God, have mercy on us.
04:05 Make us good children.
04:07 Remove the sickness and the illness from us.
04:10 Thank you for your care and your blessings.
04:16 Help my father and mother. Amen.
04:20 I know that she's in a good condition.
04:28 Cassie's mother, Mary Vic, even had a premonition?
04:32 The time you called and said that Cassie's story would be featured on KMJS,
04:39 Nico Ineng, her mother, said, "Mom, I had a dream that Cassie was on KMJS."
04:45 We were like, "What's that? Why?"
04:47 I just hope I won't get it.
04:49 I said, "I just hope I won't get it."
04:53 Even if she insists on asking, and maybe she's still alive.
04:56 Even if the seed or anything in the world is gone,
05:01 do you know what to do?
05:04 We will be placed on our back using our hands.
05:08 We will close our hands.
05:10 Then, the position is two fingers from the heart.
05:14 Then, we will put our closed fist above.
05:18 Then, we will close it.
05:20 Then, inward upward motion.
05:22 We will repeat this until the barang object is removed.
05:27 We can use 911 or call Red Cross 143.
05:32 Usually, our variety of Tuklapin is that the flesh of the seed is separated.
05:42 This is the safest way to feed our children.
05:45 We will just separate the flesh into small pieces before we feed them.
05:51 Meanwhile, the Tuklapin is different.
05:54 The flesh is not separated from the seed.
05:57 This Thursday, Cassie was taken to her last rites.
06:10 Wait for me, Cassie.
06:16 We will meet again.
06:18 We will meet again.
06:20 I love you, Cassie!
06:22 Betty's children are so worried.
06:32 They were cut off.
06:35 I was thinking that if she will live,
06:38 we will remember the loss of our grandchild.
06:41 It really hurts when I see her being cut off.
06:47 Do you have anything to say to Cassie?
06:50 I love you so much, Cassie.
06:55 Of course, you know that.
06:57 Parents and the elderly
07:05 will watch their children until they eat.
07:11 Because the small seeds or anything that can enter their bodies
07:18 can cause a huge problem.
