00:00 What happened to your life 20 years ago?

00:05 This woman,

00:09 22 years ago,

00:12 or more than 2 decades,

00:15 was just here in this house.

00:17 She was being raped by her own father.

00:25 I was tied up and I was taken to the police station.

00:30 In this barong barong in Lupon, Davao Oriental,

00:43 the father's life is tied up.

00:46 This corner of their home

00:48 became the world of the 71-year-old Mang Rosalino.

00:54 [Music]

00:58 The woman, Angela,

01:01 was beaten to a pulp.

01:03 I don't know what to do.

01:05 I'm her son.

01:07 I'm ashamed.

01:08 I have no one.

01:09 Angela was not only beaten by her own father,

01:14 but also by her own mind.

01:17 When she woke up in the morning,

01:21 Mang Rosalino was preparing her son's breakfast.

01:25 Thank you.

01:26 Let's eat.

01:30 But that morning, Angela was not hungry.

01:34 Let's eat.

01:35 I'll get her plate.

01:39 You can eat.

01:41 After that, she took a bath.

01:50 Turn around.

01:52 Turn around.

01:57 I'm turning around.

01:59 Even if she was fighting with her heart

02:08 to take care of her son,

02:10 she couldn't do anything.

02:11 She said that it was so small that it disappeared.

02:16 [Screaming]

02:21 She was already fighting.

02:23 She was fighting for her life.

02:25 She was already fighting.

02:26 She was already fighting.

02:28 I was already crying.

02:29 I was crying because

02:31 I saw my son was already fighting.

02:33 I was crying because she was my daughter.

02:36 Huh?

02:37 Don't do that to people.

02:40 [Screaming]

02:41 What calmed Angela down

02:44 was her toy plastic bottle.

02:47 Even if it fell down several times,

02:49 she would still reach it.

02:52 Let's see if it broke.

02:53 Let's see if it's still working.

02:54 I think it's broken.

02:56 When Mang Rosalino realized that Angela was okay,

03:01 she went straight to the farm.

03:03 In planting and selling vegetables,

03:06 Mang Rosalino's son, Angela,

03:08 earns

03:10 P100 to P200 per week.

03:14 It was already dark when she got home.

03:19 Because Angela didn't eat all day,

03:21 when she got home,

03:23 Mang Rosalino prepared her son's dinner.

03:27 Rice and sardines.

03:35 [Music]

03:42 Feeding Angela was hard work.

03:46 One.

03:47 Two.

03:48 Two.

03:51 Two.

03:52 Okay.

03:53 Three.

04:00 She even laid down so her son could sleep.

04:05 Mang Rosalino's only wife, Angela.

04:11 When Angela was two years old,

04:13 they noticed that she was acting differently.

04:16 She was like a doll.

04:17 When she was a baby,

04:19 she was like a doll.

04:21 She was like a doll.

04:22 I went to the farm.

04:25 I saw a crack.

04:27 I went there.

04:28 I went there.

04:29 I went to the doctor's room.

04:31 Despite their differences,

04:34 they decided to adopt their two-year-old son.

04:39 I used to use a hoe.

04:42 I used to use a hoe.

04:43 I didn't know how to use a hoe.

04:45 I didn't know how to do it.

04:47 I went to school.

04:48 I went to school.

04:50 I couldn't do it.

04:51 Mang Rosalino was more affected by Angela's growing up

04:56 when his wife died in 2015.

04:59 I called her many times.

05:01 Mom.

05:02 Yes?

05:03 Mom.

05:04 Yes?

05:06 Mom.

05:07 She said she will take care of him.

05:09 But I was the only one.

05:11 Mang Rosalino is now afraid of how Angela will be

05:16 when she is about to die.

05:20 If I die,

05:21 I will be left alone.

05:23 I will be left alone.

05:25 I will be left alone.

05:26 I want to go to the hospital so that she can recover.

05:30 This Friday,

05:33 Angela was rescued by the police from Davao Oriental Provincial Medical Center

05:37 and PNP Lupon, Davao Oriental.

05:42 Their home was in need of a gun.

05:52 Knife.

05:55 Angela was reluctant to join.

06:18 She was forced to leave the house.

06:23 But when she arrived at the hospital,

06:45 [Gunshots]

06:48 [Screams]

06:51 Angela may have intellectual disability, malnutrition, and seizure disorder.

06:59 What the patient needs is a psychiatric referral.

07:02 Since we also see the patient to have intellectual disability,

07:06 for the best of the patient,

07:07 this could be referred to a higher institution that could properly manage her case.

07:11 But since the hospital has no facility for her case,

07:16 they recommended that she be brought to a mental health facility.

07:20 We will be following up this patient and referring her to experts

07:25 and particular individuals who can help her.

07:28 We will also focus on every now and then,

07:31 periodically following up her through our social service.

07:35 We gave medication and other expenses,

07:40 especially to their medical.

07:42 First of all, they don't know proper handling.

07:45 Second, there is stigma.

07:47 We are not aware of how to take care of people with this condition.

07:53 In our data, the general trend that we see in terms of mental health,

07:59 more than 50% increase.

08:01 We coordinated and partnered really with the Department of Health,

08:04 Center for Health Development, Region 11.

08:07 We trained additional doctors.

08:10 Meanwhile, to make the parents comfortable,

08:13 they organized a group of people.

08:17 The group also provided groceries.

08:30 Our program also provided financial assistance.

08:33 I am thankful to you. I will support you.

08:37 Here in the Philippines,

08:39 we have many people who are in poverty

08:43 and have no knowledge about the importance of mental health.

08:50 Instead of judging, let's understand their situation

08:56 and help them free from their thoughts.

09:01 I have a boat, I have many children.

09:04 I have many children.

09:06 [Music]

09:12 Thank you so much, Kapuso.
