00:00 So if we're looking for something,
00:02 our mothers say that our eyes are what we use to see.
00:06 But, Kapuso, there are some feelings that even if we try to open our eyes,
00:11 it's still hard to see.
00:13 But even if there are obstacles or obstacles,
00:17 as long as the person in front of you is clear, you can handle it.
00:21 That's the good story that Katrina Son learned.
00:28 No matter how hard 22-year-old John Patrick tries to open his eyes,
00:33 it's blocked by a small bump from his childhood.
00:38 But even if there are bad conditions in his eyes,
00:42 he can still walk with his eyes open.
00:45 In Chaung, Quezon, John Patrick has only been able to notice
00:55 the strange conditions in his eyes.
00:58 When I was released, my eyes were like this.
01:01 I was really like this. I was really blind.
01:04 I really couldn't see anything since I was a child.
01:07 Hello Kapuso, good day.
01:11 I will show you what I do every day here in our house.
01:16 Come with me.
01:22 His mother, Maryleen, believes him because he was born with a congenital or albino eye.
01:27 I don't understand why I have this condition.
01:30 I was like this when I was pregnant with him.
01:33 And when he was my son, he was like this. He has a congenital eye.
01:37 John Patrick was examined by a specialist only twice.
01:41 The doctor told me that I have a possibility to see,
01:45 but he said it's just an eye.
01:47 Here, he confirmed that he has anophthalmia.
01:51 The ophthalmologist, Dr. Aliana Vera Cruz, explained.
01:55 This is a rare congenital malformation where the eye was born without an eyeball.
02:01 You can see that it collapsed or it's like it's sunk
02:04 because there is no eyeball inside that supports the structure.
02:07 We can see that it's not usually found in anophthalmia.
02:11 So, it's possible that it's a rudimentary structure
02:14 or not fully formed structures that outpouched his skin.
02:19 Although it's not in his eyes,
02:21 I'm concerned about my eye.
02:23 Since I was studying,
02:25 as a mother, when I gave birth to him, I couldn't accept it.
02:32 I couldn't accept his condition.
02:36 But I also tried to force myself to do it.
02:45 I tried to force myself to do it.
02:49 I tried to force myself to do it.
02:51 John Patrick has already finished his grade 10.
02:54 Hello, fellow farmers!
02:56 He is also happy to create social media content with his siblings.
03:00 He dreams that he will notice that he is fond of singing.
03:06 He is enjoying in front of his cousin that he can't see the world.
03:11 I posted this so that my other cousins will know that
03:17 PWD is not just a hobby.
03:23 Our dreams are to reach them.
03:26 And they will be able to reach their dreams in life.
03:31 Nothing is impossible for a person with ambition
03:35 because he can handle any situation.
03:38 I am Katrina Sun and this is the story you need to know.
