00:00It's 5 o'clock in the afternoon, but the line is still this long in San Lazaro Hospital.

00:16This is the line for the antirabies vaccine to be administered in the hospital.

00:21Most of the patients here were bitten by animals, mostly cats and dogs.

00:28I was bitten by a dog.

00:30We took care of it.

00:31I was vaccinated.

00:32I was just making sure because they said it's dangerous.

00:34I was bitten by a cat.

00:36I was taken care of.

00:37They said it's dangerous to be bitten.

00:39I was bitten by a dog.

00:42I washed it with soap, then I added garlic.

00:49The number of people who want to get an antirabies vaccine in San Lazaro because of the news of rabies.

00:58According to the data of San Lazaro Hospital,

01:00in April, more than 23,000 people came to get an antirabies vaccine in their hospital.

01:08From January to April, 20 people were admitted to the hospital because of rabies.

01:17One of those admitted because of rabies is a 13-year-old girl named Jamaica.

01:23My child, don't forget that I love you.

01:28We all love you.

01:30When you were bitten by a dog, you didn't tell us that you're not with us.

01:36We forced you to be strong.

01:39We forced you to forget, but we can't forget you.

01:44We love you so much.

01:46On February 10, 2024, Jamaica went to a birthday party in their place.

01:54And this is where Jamaica was bitten by a dog.

01:58Jamaica told her parents what happened to her.

02:03We didn't know.

02:04At that time, it went viral.

02:07That's when I found out that a lot of people were bitten by dogs.

02:10That's when I found out that a lot of people were bitten by dogs.

02:13It was the same day that she was bitten.

02:18After more than two months,

02:20this is where Roseline found out that her child couldn't sleep because of rabies,

02:25which is sometimes accompanied by a fever.

02:28I also searched.

02:29What is the other reason why she has rabies?

02:32Then I searched.

02:34I said, aside from UTI, maybe you have UTI.

02:37You are weak in water.

02:40On April 5, 2024, Jamaica told her parents that she was afraid to drink water.

02:46She said, Mama, I can't drink water.

02:49I was holding my cell phone.

02:51She said, Mama, I can't drink water.

02:55I said, why? Does your throat hurt?

02:58I said, why can't you drink water?

03:01She said, maybe I have rabies.

03:04I said, why? You have rabies.

03:07Did you get bitten by a dog?

03:10No.

03:13Rabies is a viral infection.

03:17The viral infection is the reservoir where dogs and cats bite.

03:23That's where we get rabies from.

03:26It's a viral infection which is supposed to be preventable.

03:32My child.

03:34In fear of Rosaline, she immediately rushed Jamaica to San Lazaro Hospital.

03:41This is where the doctors confirmed that Jamaica has rabies.

03:46My child, don't forget that I love you.

03:51We all love you.

03:53But the problem is, the virus has entered her brain.

03:57I said, how many hours? How many days?

04:00How long can my child last?

04:03She said, 24 hours.

04:06I cried.

04:07I called her siblings.

04:10And after 12 hours,

04:14Jamaica was brought back to life.

04:20According to Dr. David Suplico, OIC Chief of Medical Professional Staff 2 at San Lazaro Hospital,

04:27there is an incubation period for rabies in the body.

04:33Within 1 to 3 months, after being bitten or scratched,

04:37symptoms such as headaches, fever, and nausea will appear.

04:49To the point of gradually experiencing dizziness,

04:53insomnia,

04:56water sickness,

04:59and delirium.

05:04The rabies virus is slowly entering our central nervous system.

05:16According to the doctor, the dog that is bitten should also be observed.

05:21When a dog is bitten by a person,

05:24it has rabid symptoms that the dog will die within 10 days.

05:34Remember, when a rabid dog is bitten or scratched,

05:39immediately wash the wound with water and soap.

05:43And most importantly,

05:44immediately get vaccinated at the nearest animal by treatment center or hospital.

05:50The myths of garlic are not true.

05:55We should be able to complete the vaccination.

06:01According to the doctor, when it comes to rabies,

06:04the enemy is time.

06:05That's why it's important to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

06:09The problem with rabies is that it's 100% fatal.

06:12Rabies is 100% fatal.

06:14What we prevent is that the rabies virus does not reach our central nervous system or brain.

06:24Because once it reaches there, the patient will surely die.

06:32Because anti-rabies vaccines are free at San Lazaro Hospital,

06:35more people are queuing here.

06:38But it's also better if the local governments have their own animal by treatment center.

06:44The LGUs, their constituents, should be taken care of.

06:51The problem is, because they know that they don't have a budget or medicine,

06:57they go to San Lazaro.

06:59We are now being attacked by patients who are bitten by animals and cats.

07:08Because of this, many anti-rabies vaccination drives are being conducted in the country.

07:18Taguig City conducted a 7-day house-to-house anti-rabies vaccination in various districts.

07:25Our anti-rabies program evolved from an ordinary vaccination drive

07:33into a more cohesive and systematic vaccination and anti-rabies control program.

07:42LGUs say this is a way to give protection to their residents' pets.

07:48Our main purpose is to eradicate rabies from the source so that it won't be transmitted to humans.

07:54That's why the residents of Fur Parent did not hesitate to vaccinate their pets.

08:01So that they will be safe from being bitten.

08:06They are here in the house, we won't let them go outside.

08:10I'm afraid that they will be bitten by humans.

08:13We will pay for their bite, right?

08:16The vaccine offered by the local government

08:20is a big help for us.

08:23Last year, we also failed.

08:26According to Republic Act No. 9482 or Anti-Rabies Act of 2007,

08:33it is the responsibility of pet owners to vaccinate their pets.

08:38Anti-rabies vaccination is conducted yearly.

08:42That's what's in the Anti-Rabies Act.

08:44It's important that they don't lapse.

08:49So that if they get bitten,

08:53it will be disregarded that it can be a source of rabies in humans.

08:58Doc reminds us that the care of pets is a responsibility.

09:03It's part of the pet owner's obligation not to let their dog get lost on the road.

09:09It's their social obligation to prohibit their friends from doing this.

09:16Meanwhile, for Roselyn's mother,

09:19she wants to learn and remind her daughter, Jamaica.

09:23For my parents,

09:25please teach your children not to talk or complain

09:31as soon as a dog or cat bites them.

09:33Please teach your children not to talk or complain as soon as a dog or cat bites them.

09:39Please teach your children not to talk or complain as soon as a dog or cat bites them.

09:46And there's no need to remind our expert

09:49to anyone who gets bitten or bitten by a pet like a dog.

09:53They need to go to the Animal Bite Treatment Center.

09:57They need to be assessed by a doctor.

10:00At the same time, they need to be given a vaccine against anti-rabies.

10:05Rabies is deadly,

10:10but it can be prevented.

10:16So don't let the bite of a pet go unnoticed.

10:20Get vaccinated right away.

10:22And make sure our pets are also vaccinated.

10:25Because in every vaccine,

10:27life can be saved.

10:29Thank you.
