00:00 There's a man in the forest who hasn't been able to sit properly for years and it's hard to walk.
00:11 He has a big problem.
00:15 Many people dream of having a big and muscular butt.
00:21 "It's like a panty style."
00:24 Others use butt pads or get butt enhancement surgeries.
00:31 "If you're a man, you'll notice."
00:33 "I wish I had a big and muscular butt because it's attractive."
00:38 But be careful what you wish for because this man
00:48 is too big for his size. He's almost 20 kilos now.
00:54 Almost half a sack of rice.
00:58 This is Leonilo and he's begging his grandfather to sit down for his problem.
01:12 Because of his big and muscular butt, Leonilo has a hard time moving and walking.
01:19 He's also slow when he runs.
01:23 He always gets hit by cars here in Valencia City, Bukidnon, Mindanao.
01:29 He's a very strict person. He always refuses to let cars pass.
01:39 "Even if there are no passengers, they don't let me ride."
01:43 "They're avoiding me because they're afraid that I'll be chosen by the passengers."
01:47 "Most of the time, I don't ride because the issue is that the space is big."
01:51 "Others can't sit."
01:52 If there's a stop sign, it's hard for him to get hit by a tricycle
01:59 or a jeep.
02:09 "I'm not a taxi driver. I need to cross the road to get to the bus stop."
02:15 "Many people tell me that I look like a mascot."
02:21 "They say that I look like a passport."
02:24 Leonilo is only 14 years old when his left breast started to grow a black spot.
02:34 "At first, it was just a small black spot. Then it grew."
02:39 "Then it got a vocal."
02:45 Years later, it grew bigger.
02:50 "I don't know why it grew so big."
02:56 "I don't know why I couldn't accept it."
03:02 "It grew bigger until now."
03:05 "I don't know what to do. It's in my way."
03:09 "It's my daily routine. Why did it grow so big?"
03:14 "I can't take it anymore."
03:17 "It's because my life is in danger."
03:21 When he goes to the bathroom, he has his own discard.
03:25 "I'm in a position where I can't sit because of my vocal."
03:33 "I'm still in a difficult situation."
03:36 "I can't sit because of my vocal."
03:41 "I can't move my body."
03:45 "I use two juggles."
03:48 "This is the first one and this is the second one."
03:51 "I wash my breasts every three days."
03:54 Leonilo is now living alone in his rented house.
03:59 He was sent by his relatives.
04:03 "I feel ashamed to my relatives that I'm living with them."
04:08 "I'm alone."
04:09 He lives alone in the store.
04:12 "I have other people to replace me."
04:16 "I wash my clothes."
04:18 His daily salary is 200 pesos.
04:21 Because of his condition, he was forced to love.
04:26 In fact, he was busted five times.
04:30 "They are so mean."
04:34 "They don't want to answer me."
04:37 "They don't have anything."
04:39 "It hurts. I think no woman can love me."
04:42 Leonilo feels alone.
04:47 "I'm the only one who is looking for a way to improve my vocal."
04:53 "I'm the only one who can help my mom."
04:57 "I'm the only one who can help my mom."
05:00 "I'm the only one who can help my mom."
05:03 "I'm the only one who can help my mom."
05:06 "I'm the only one who can help my mom."
05:09 Leonilo's mother lives in Mandaue City, Cebu.
05:12 She is 64 years old.
05:15 "My father left us because he has another family."
05:19 "I came to Cebu because I have a job."
05:22 "He is already 40 years old. I married another woman."
05:25 "When I have children, I can't go to the room."
05:30 "I don't have a job."
05:32 "I feel sorry for my mom because I'm her child."
05:35 "I don't have a job because I'm far from her."
05:38 "I don't have a job because I'm far from her."
05:41 "I don't have a job because I'm far from her."
05:44 "I don't have a job because I'm far from her."
05:47 "I'm just going to my village."
05:50 "I'm going to my village."
05:52 "I'm just going to my village."
05:54 "I'm just going to my village."
05:56 "I'm just going to my village."
05:58 "I'm just going to my village."
06:00 "I'm just going to my village."
06:02 "I'm just going to my village."
06:04 "I'm just going to my village."
06:06 "I'm just going to my village."
06:08 "I'm jealous of my three siblings."
06:12 "Even if I'm not angry, I can still see my mom."
06:17 "I'm still a little bit upset."
06:19 "I'm jealous of my three siblings."
06:22 "I'm jealous of my three siblings."
06:24 "I'm jealous of my three siblings."
06:26 "I'm jealous of my three siblings."
06:28 "I'm jealous of my three siblings."
06:30 In 2009, when Leonilo was diagnosed by the doctor,
06:36 he had neurofibromatosis,
06:39 a condition in which tumors grow
06:42 that affects the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body.
06:47 "There's a damage in the tumor suppressor gene."
06:50 "It's not just on the face, it can grow all over the body."
06:53 "It's where the nerve is, that's where it goes."
06:57 Doctors tried to remove it, but...
07:00 "In the first operation, the doctor observed that
07:05 he didn't talk to anyone during the second operation."
07:08 Leonilo will be checked up by our team
07:11 after more than a decade.
07:14 He will only see a doctor again today.
07:17 "7? 67cm?"
07:20 "It's not cancer. What is very peculiar is that
07:23 he has skin discoloration."
07:26 "He has a lot of bumps on his skin, on his extremities."
07:30 "He can't name his life expectancy because he's benign."
07:33 "He has a lot of distractions, his bumps are big."
07:37 "He really needs to be removed."
07:39 "Supportive treatment, his symptoms, for example, his bumps,
07:43 are a bit bothering to the patient,
07:46 his activities are limited or painful,
07:49 that needs to be removed."
07:51 But is there still hope for this to be removed?
07:54 "Yes, he's still a patient."
07:56 "But it will be better if we have the biopsy,
07:59 we have high hopes that we can remove the tumor."
08:03 One of the reasons Leonilo is carrying so much weight
08:07 is the possibility that he will be free from the costs of the surgery.
08:12 "We have a program with the government,
08:14 a no-balance bill for charity patients."
08:16 "It's safe because he doesn't have any other comorbidities."
08:19 "Thank you."
08:20 "But I will always surrender,
08:22 I will surrender because I know that I will be a doctor again."
08:27 "Congrats!"
08:30 The local government of Valencia City gave him a new life.
08:36 "This is just the initial step,
08:37 there are still subsequent orders to be able to meet the needs of our brother."
08:45 He was also given financial assistance by our program.
08:49 We also gave Leonilo customized jogging pants.
08:54 "Thank you very much, I have a new life."
08:59 And to make his journey easier,
09:03 we also made a way for Leonilo to see his mother again
09:08 who has not been with him for 6 years.
09:11 "How are you?"
09:13 "How are you, Ma'am?"
09:15 "How are you?"
09:17 "I'm fine."
09:25 Leonilo's mother passed away in a car accident.
09:30 "Thank you for meeting me again, Ma'am."
09:33 "You're welcome."
09:34 "I'm sorry for not being able to visit you."
09:38 "I'm not worried about you,
