00:02 Almost two decades after her death,
00:05 the former physician, Nanay Loling,
00:08 from Talisay City in Cebu,
00:10 but her body is still intact
00:14 and not mutilated.
00:17 Her children continued to treat her.
00:20 This is a miracle.
00:21 And the old man, possibly a saint,
00:25 [Music]
00:27 the faith of some Talisay City residents in Cebu is alive.
00:33 One of their fellow citizens,
00:36 who has been living here for more than two decades,
00:39 was talked about as a possible saint.
00:45 [Music]
00:48 Almost two decades have passed since she was buried,
00:53 when she was again crucified.
00:56 [Music]
01:00 Her back is still intact.
01:02 It's not mutilated.
01:05 [Music]
01:08 Maybe she was also a nun.
01:11 God blessed her body.
01:14 There are many saints whose bodies were not mutilated.
01:18 I went to Nanay Loling's grave.
01:20 I heard a sound.
01:22 [Music]
01:23 It was like nothing happened.
01:25 Her whole body was mutilated.
01:29 I was shocked.
01:31 I didn't know what to say.
01:33 Her skin was intact.
01:35 Her face was clean.
01:38 Her teeth and lips were like new lipstick.
01:43 [Music]
01:44 I believe that she will become a saint one day.
01:48 [Music]
01:49 For God is a Saint.
01:51 [Music]
01:56 There are many crocani.
01:57 The incorruptible body of Louisa Abano or Nanay Loling.
02:06 She was diabetic.
02:07 We brought her to the hospital.
02:09 The doctor said that she will not be saved by her mother because her brain is damaged.
02:14 Almost 18 years since Nanay Loling was buried.
02:19 [Laughs]
02:21 On May 4, her husband, Father Felix, also died of dementia.
02:30 His last wish was to be buried at his wife's grave.
02:35 He really wanted to be buried with my mother.
02:40 He loved my mother so much that they should be buried together.
02:44 So one day before Father Felix's grave, Marshall asked Nanay Loling to cut his nails.
02:51 She should get her bones and clean her grave so that my father can replace her.
02:59 We put her bones in a sack and put it next to her grave.
03:06 But they were very surprised when their mother's coffin was opened.
03:11 [Speaking in Tagalog]
03:16 She didn't bury me.
03:17 The coffin is still intact.
03:20 [Speaking in Tagalog]
03:22 It hasn't changed. It's still the same since she died.

07:26 and not against their bodies,
07:28 if we consider St. Fr. Pio, St. Anthony of Padua,
07:33 and Blessed Carlo Acutis.
07:36 There are many incorrupted bodies.
07:38 One of the factors is that their way of life is the most basic.
07:42 Holiness of life.
07:43 And then the love to others.
07:45 And if that's a martyr, of course,
07:47 there must be a miracle that happened based on the investigation.
07:50 "Yes, what? When I was praying, this name came to me."
07:54 There really was a miracle that happened.
07:56 And that was because of the intervention, intercession
07:59 of this candidate for sainthood.
08:01 "You are a miracle, my Lord."
08:02 We talked to each other.
08:04 Maybe the words of those who commented were true.
08:09 "Maybe your mother is a saint."
08:11 Someone called me.
08:13 They said we should bring her to the Vatican.
08:15 They said we were lucky because we have a mother like that.
08:18 We haven't told the Church yet
08:22 because we were in a hurry when my mother was being interviewed.
08:27 We would be happy if the priest said,
08:30 "That's what you're going to do to your mother
08:32 because your mother is a saint."
08:34 So we will do what the priest says.
08:39 "You are a miracle, my Lord."
08:41 To clarify the family,
08:42 we submitted this case to the CBCP,
08:46 or the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines.
08:49 [music]
08:53 [indistinct chatter]
08:56 Maybe my mother will not be able to bear it.
08:59 The CBCP gave a statement
09:02 that the Church is strict in its qualifications
09:05 to make a person a saint.
09:07 Because the body is incorruptible, it is already a saint.
09:10 No, it doesn't work that way.
09:11 There are many saints who are already strong,
09:13 just bones, but they are saints.
09:14 So the incorruptibility, that is not.
09:16 We just need to see that their way of life
09:20 is holy, they love God, they love their fellowmen.
09:23 Now, if they become incorrupt,
09:24 the Church will really blame them.
09:27 Even so, if there are people who say that this is a miracle,
09:31 there are also many who are not convinced.
09:34 I was surprised when I saw the body,
09:36 but I couldn't believe that the saint is a saint.
09:41 Because there are many processes.
09:43 But what is the possible reason
09:46 why a person's body does not become incorruptible
09:49 even after a long time?
09:52 Embalming is meant for delaying the decomposition.
09:56 If the process of aspiration is good,
09:59 and the process of drainage is good,
10:01 then the result of the embalming procedure will be much better.
10:05 There is also a factor in the formulation of formalin solution
10:08 that is used in preserving the dead body.
10:11 So if the formalin solution is strong,
10:13 it will yield a longer preservation for the dead body.
10:18 I'm so tired, I'm tired.
10:21 In decomposition, we can look at the internal factors,
10:24 if the mother did not die from an infectious process.
10:28 As for external factors, the soil will enter there,
10:31 where it was buried, how deep,
10:34 the relative moisture and humidity around it.
10:38 But why did the mother's body become water?
10:43 The water in the grave is called the water table aquifer.
10:47 That is the layer of soil that is water-bearing.
10:51 There is water.
10:52 But if you will notice, there is a water line there.
10:55 You will see.
10:56 It proves that the water is fluctuating.
10:59 And it only happens in the water table aquifer.
11:02 Oh, mother.
11:04 What are you going to answer, mother?
11:06 We will choose first, maybe,
11:08 that they are there first,
11:10 not our mother.
11:12 If they died at the same time,
11:15 my mother and my father,
11:16 maybe, my father would be the first to like it,
11:19 that he would see that he is not dead yet.
11:23 Oh, mother.
11:25 What are you going to answer, mother?
11:27 There are many questions about the grave of Mother Luling.
11:31 But the most important thing for her family,
11:34 is that she was still alive when she was reunited with her husband.
11:42 Mother, is this your plan to bury my son?
11:47 If you are still alive,
11:50 we will not be the same as our mother who buried our son.
