00:00:00Because it is very dangerous to get honey and the sting of bees can kill you,
00:00:14the professional beekeepers are very careful.
00:00:19But in Rojas, Palawan, these two kids were targeted by a beekeeper.
00:00:26We're just going to insert this so we can get the honey.
00:00:30This is what we use, honeybees, to keep the bees away.
00:00:33Wearing a T-shirt and shorts only.
00:00:36See, honeybees, there's a lot of bees.
00:00:38It's huge.
00:00:44Until the bees completely went red.
00:00:48It's so hot.
00:00:50I'm going to get the honey.
00:00:51There, it's gone.
00:00:53Idols, this is pure honey.
00:00:58They put honey around the bees.
00:01:15It's disgusting, idols, so we can't eat it.
00:01:18Don't stick it.
00:01:19Video.
00:01:20The reaction was very intense.
00:01:22If you get a lot of bees, you can die.
00:01:25Why were the bees targeted in such a dangerous situation?
00:01:35Two kids in Rojas, Palawan.
00:01:38The playground was empty.
00:01:41And their favorite game was to get and eat honey.
00:01:49The two kids in the video, 12-year-old Mark and his cousin, Jeff.
00:01:55They don't have a real name.
00:01:57Their parents allowed us to interview them.
00:02:01We're happy when we get honey in the jungle.
00:02:04Let's get the honey.
00:02:11The vlog was taken last week with their content creator, Bong.
00:02:17I invited Bong to have a bath.
00:02:21I'm not afraid of what will happen.
00:02:23I know they can do it.
00:02:25I won't let the kids get in the way.
00:02:27This is not the first time they got honey.
00:02:32You have to suck it with your teeth.
00:02:34When the bees went red, they took their target.
00:02:43It's good, it's sweet.
00:02:44But the truth is, the bees stung them several times.
00:02:57When we were bathing, the bees stung me here.
00:03:02They stung my eyebrows.
00:03:06And my hands.
00:03:07And my legs.
00:03:09It hurts, but I did it because we're used to it.
00:03:13It's been three days, ma'am.
00:03:14What they collected was honey.
00:03:17It's not just rice.
00:03:19Sometimes, I buy bread and I collect honey.
00:03:27I collect honey and I mix it with water.
00:03:30I eat the honey and I drink the honey.
00:03:33We want to collect the honey so we don't have to spend money.
00:03:37We don't use the kids.
00:03:39The kids are the ones who want to be in my vlog.
00:03:42Bong's income from his vlog is given to his nieces and nephews.
00:03:48If I can give it, it's directly to his parents.
00:03:51We're going to buy ice cones.
00:03:54However, the content of the beekeepers is still not safe from the bees.
00:03:59It's time to repent.
00:04:01It's time to be careful.
00:04:03The collection of honey has already been done in their area.
00:04:08To be honest, it's the primary source of income here in Palawan.
00:04:15Even the parents of Raymond and Mary Joy,
00:04:19were forced to live like this.
00:04:22My nieces and nephews, that's their job.
00:04:24They harvest the honey.
00:04:25I also work with them.
00:04:28We sell 150 cones per bottle.
00:04:32Where are those parents?
00:04:33They can't stand what their children are doing.
00:04:36We don't let them do dangerous things.
00:04:41They can determine which type of bee can be approached and what should be avoided.
00:04:49We have studied their weaknesses.
00:04:52It's not that dangerous.
00:04:55They also don't care if their children will be attacked by a bee sting.
00:05:01They believe that it gives them immunity.
00:05:09It's also painful.
00:05:10Our body is immune to it.
00:05:11Our body gets stronger.
00:05:12The bee sting is venomous.
00:05:14We can't see the benefits of it on the human body.
00:05:17If they are bitten again and again,
00:05:19they can eventually develop immunity.
00:05:24But not all situations are like this.
00:05:26Bonifacio, Bonifacio's grandfather,
00:05:30has a swollen face.
00:05:31His face is swollen.
00:05:33He also has a rash in the middle of his face.
00:05:36I was bitten by a bee sting in my eye.
00:05:39It was itching.
00:05:40After the itching, my eye was swollen.
00:05:42My eye was swollen because of the bee sting.
00:05:45It can cause blindness.
00:05:47If a person is highly allergic to a bee sting,
00:05:51they can die.
00:05:52In this video,
00:05:54you can see a child who is unconscious and lying in the hospital.
00:05:59While some of his companions are crying.
00:06:07The child died after being stung by a bee sting.
00:06:12Until now,
00:06:13Maricel still can't accept the sudden death of her child.
00:06:19Maricel still can't accept the sudden death of her three-year-old son,
00:06:24Alon.
00:06:25On December 31,
00:06:26he pushed me hard before he carried me.
00:06:29He told me,
00:06:30Mom, I love you.
00:06:31His hug was like an old man's hug.
00:06:35It was so strong.
00:06:36I was scared.
00:06:37Why is my son like that?
00:06:39I was bitten by a bee sting.
00:06:42It was in the middle of my eye.
00:06:43It was swollen.
00:06:47Alon was just playing in their room in Cavite.
00:06:51Suddenly, a kind of bee entered their window.
00:06:55He was crying.
00:06:56He said,
00:06:57Mom, it hurts.
00:06:58I said, what is that?
00:06:59I held his hand.
00:07:00He didn't want to give it to me.
00:07:01He was so desperate.
00:07:02Alon was stung by a bee sting on the left hand of his left hand.
00:07:06Because he was swollen and couldn't breathe,
00:07:10they took him to the hospital.
00:07:16He was revived.
00:07:17We gave him an injection.
00:07:19Maybe his heart will recover.
00:07:21I tried to fight him.
00:07:24I tried to help him.
00:07:29But he couldn't move.
00:07:31He was gone.
00:07:37The cause of his death
00:07:39was anaphylactic shock.
00:07:41Severe allergic reaction
00:07:43to the sting of a bee sting.
00:07:47The body is over-stimulating to the bee venom,
00:07:50which causes the release of histamine to the bloodstream.
00:07:53This histamine will cause blood vessel dilation
00:07:56and tissue swelling to the body,
00:07:58which causes blood pressure to drop,
00:08:01which can lead to cardiovascular collapse.
00:08:03He was so strong.
00:08:05You can't imagine how strong he was.
00:08:07I couldn't accept it.
00:08:10Thank you.
00:08:11You're welcome.
00:08:15You can wear protective gear.
00:08:17Just don't use perfume.
00:08:19You might get infected by bees
00:08:21so that they won't attack you.
00:08:23The bees have a big contribution to our environment.
00:08:29Meanwhile,
00:08:30because honey collection is part of the daily lives
00:08:34of the Tigarojas in Palawan,
00:08:37Raymond and Mary Joy
00:08:39have no intention of banning their children.
00:08:42Instead, they say they will be more careful.
00:08:45To those who are commenting,
00:08:47we don't allow our children to be neglected.
00:08:50We are here to do that.
00:08:52We are with them.
00:08:53We are not afraid of bees.
00:08:55It's a disease.
00:08:57We are used to it.
00:08:59I am ready to protect them.
00:09:01There are a lot of concerns about the videos being uploaded.
00:09:05They're going for the shock factor.
00:09:07It's like your life in the content.
00:09:09Before you post this,
00:09:11think about why you're doing this.
00:09:13I hope the platform can be used
00:09:15in a non-harmful way.
00:09:17In this area,
00:09:19there are a lot of bees.
00:09:21But be careful,
00:09:23because the bees are dangerous
00:09:25when they are swarming.
00:09:28And their sting
00:09:30has different reactions to our body.
00:09:32Some of them
00:09:34can get stung
00:09:36with just one sting.
00:09:44Every town,
00:09:46every province
00:09:48of the Philippines
00:09:50has a big rice field
00:09:52that is not only
00:09:54nutritious,
00:09:56but also delicious.
00:09:58It's not just the bananas
00:10:00but also the heart.
00:10:02Even this tree,
00:10:04which is called
00:10:06Ambulong Sago Palm.
00:10:18From these trees,
00:10:20you can get
00:10:22a kind of starch
00:10:24or flour
00:10:26that is the main ingredient
00:10:28for making
00:10:30suman sa ukaw.
00:10:34Arjen's family
00:10:36has been doing this for more than two decades.
00:10:40Early in the morning,
00:10:42they climbed the forest
00:10:44to look for Ambulong Sago Palm.
00:10:46We chose this
00:10:48because its heart is about to come out.
00:10:50It means that we can now make suman sa ukaw.
00:10:52But before they start
00:10:54making suman sa ukaw
00:10:56Nanny Juvie
00:10:58made a prayer first.
00:11:08The skin of the
00:11:10chopped Ambulong
00:11:12is cut into equal
00:11:14pieces within four hours.
00:11:26Until
00:11:28the white part of the Ambulong
00:11:30is removed.
00:11:32The Ambulong
00:11:34is cleaned,
00:11:42washed,
00:11:48When the white part of the Ambulong is removed,
00:11:50it means that
00:11:52it is ready to be removed.
00:11:54To cook suman sa ukaw,
00:11:56the natto is mixed with
00:11:58coconut milk and sugar,
00:12:04wrapped in banana leaves,
00:12:14and then boiled.
00:12:16Suman sa ukaw
00:12:22is sold for
00:12:24five pesos per piece.
00:12:36But because of the difficulty
00:12:38of collecting natto,
00:12:40they can only do this once in a while.
00:12:42In fact,
00:12:44in their area,
00:12:46they are the only ones
00:12:48who can make it.
00:12:58This grandmother is
00:13:00very good at making suman sa ukaw.
00:13:02It should be tasted
00:13:04before cooking.
00:13:06Especially those who have milk in their mouth.
00:13:08Because her specialty
00:13:10is lalasing.
00:13:14This 77-year-old
00:13:16grandmother is
00:13:18very good at making
00:13:20suman sa ukaw.
00:13:44This is the
00:13:46middle part,
00:13:48or the sticky rice
00:13:50that has been soaked for a long time.
00:13:52She will make
00:13:54tapay or fermented rice
00:13:56seasoned with chili,
00:13:58ginger, and pepper.
00:14:00The rice
00:14:02is soaked in water
00:14:04before being eaten.
00:14:14Then, it is pounded
00:14:16using a mortar.
00:14:24The rice
00:14:26is mixed with sugar
00:14:28and then pounded into tapay.
00:14:32It is wrapped in
00:14:34the leaves of gabi and
00:14:36ground in one day.
00:14:40There is a technique in soaking the soup
00:14:42so that it won't be wasted.
00:14:44If you have a lot,
00:14:46you can probably eat it all.
00:14:48The Mabis believe
00:14:50in this medicine
00:14:52for their illness,
00:14:54like rheumatism and eczema.
00:14:56That's why the leaves
00:14:58are not eaten.
00:15:00Instead, they are
00:15:02soaked in tapay.
00:15:04There is a role, right?
00:15:06Fermented food helps
00:15:08as an anti-inflammatory agent.
00:15:10The plant
00:15:12has a high dosage of vitamin C.
00:15:14It helps the body.
00:15:16In the past, she would eat
00:15:18three times a week.
00:15:20Now, she eats only on Tuesdays
00:15:22in the market.
00:15:40Oh my!
00:15:42At first glance, you will think
00:15:44that these are just
00:15:46small pieces sold
00:15:48in Batangas.
00:15:50But when you taste it,
00:15:52it doesn't have an egg inside.
00:15:54Its taste is sweet
00:15:56made from balinghoy or kamoting kahoy.
00:15:58This is the version of Batangueños
00:16:00of Butchi.
00:16:02But because it is smaller,
00:16:04they call it Butchi-Butchi.
00:16:06Beth has been making
00:16:08and selling balinghoy since she was young.
00:16:10On Sundays,
00:16:12I sell it at Masa Basilica.
00:16:14The peeled balinghoy
00:16:16are boiled.
00:16:18This is the root
00:16:20in the middle of the kamote.
00:16:22If you don't like it bitter,
00:16:24you might get sick
00:16:26when you eat it.
00:16:28Seasoned to taste.
00:16:30Ground
00:16:32using a grinder.
00:16:34Mixed
00:16:36with food coloring.
00:16:42Rolled
00:16:48and pressed.
00:16:54It's soft, sweet, and delicious
00:16:56when it's hot.
00:16:58If you don't like it bitter,
00:17:00you won't go to the market
00:17:02Because of the sweet
00:17:04Butchi-Butchi,
00:17:06their sweet love
00:17:08for their mister,
00:17:10Aguinaldo, came to fruition.
00:17:12When I met my husband,
00:17:14he gave me flowers and chocolates
00:17:16instead of Butchi.
00:17:18I didn't eat it.
00:17:20But the third time
00:17:22Aguinaldo brought him Butchi-Butchi,
00:17:24he ate it.
00:17:26It means that he is now
00:17:28answering his ex-lover.
00:17:30Because of Butchi,
00:17:32we fought for it.
00:17:34But Beth got sick
00:17:36in 2000.
00:17:38Since then,
00:17:40her four children
00:17:42sold their rice
00:17:44on their own.
00:17:46I'm very proud
00:17:48that we didn't ask for help.
00:17:50We are all siblings
00:17:52who studied well.
00:17:54In a country
00:17:56that loves rice,
00:17:58we are also full
00:18:00and we enjoy
00:18:02traditional rice dishes.
00:18:10This 88-year-old
00:18:12grandmother,
00:18:14Owa Minay
00:18:16of Argao, Cebu,
00:18:18is still climbing a mountain.
00:18:22In this sugary part
00:18:24of Argao, Cebu,
00:18:28there is a grandmother
00:18:30who has been climbing a mountain
00:18:32all her life.
00:18:38Her goal
00:18:40is to get a branch
00:18:42of a plant that I call
00:18:44Nito.
00:18:46This is the material
00:18:48she will use
00:18:50to sell her basket.
00:18:52I don't know how to do it.
00:18:54I don't know how to do it.
00:18:56I don't know how to do it.
00:19:00The path is white and slippery
00:19:02especially during the rainy season.
00:19:06Even if Owa
00:19:08doesn't climb,
00:19:10maybe she can provide
00:19:12for her family.
00:19:14The forest is very sugary.
00:19:18One wrong step
00:19:20and she will be
00:19:22swallowed by a snake.
00:19:24Sometimes she is afraid
00:19:26that the path will be slippery.
00:19:30I pity her
00:19:32because she is young.
00:19:34Sometimes she forgets
00:19:36where she came from.
00:19:48Why does the grandmother
00:19:50risk her life
00:19:52to sell her basket?
00:19:58This old man
00:20:00lives in Barangay Alambihud.
00:20:02He is
00:20:0488 years old
00:20:06like his grandmother,
00:20:08Owa Minay.
00:20:10He is with his siblings,
00:20:12Inday Liling,
00:20:1482 years old,
00:20:16and their son,
00:20:18Manoy Guillermo,
00:20:20Owa Minay
00:20:22and Inday Liling
00:20:24grew up together.
00:20:26Manoy Guillermo
00:20:28was separated from his wife.
00:20:30They helped each other
00:20:32because they were young
00:20:34and didn't have a wife.
00:20:36Their three-year-old grandson
00:20:38lives next to their house
00:20:40and is a relative of Cleofe.
00:20:42Every time they go out,
00:20:44I take care of them.
00:20:46I take care of the herbs.
00:20:48I take care of Inday Liling.
00:20:54Inday Liling
00:20:56was bedridden
00:20:58because she was bitten by a cockroach
00:21:00while Manoy Guillermo
00:21:02was almost paralyzed.
00:21:04Of the three of them,
00:21:06even though their eyes
00:21:08are wide open,
00:21:10Owa Minay is still
00:21:12the strongest
00:21:14so she is the one
00:21:16who climbs the mountain.
00:21:22After breakfast,
00:21:24Owa Minay takes
00:21:26her food.
00:21:46Owa Minay has to walk for an hour
00:21:48before she reaches
00:21:50the entrance of the forest.
00:22:04Owa Minay takes her food
00:22:06three times a week
00:22:08so that she can take care of herself
00:22:10and her children
00:22:12so that they have a source of income
00:22:14for their daily needs
00:22:16such as fish,
00:22:18flowers, and food.
00:22:20In the middle of the forest,
00:22:22Owa Minay has an opportunity
00:22:24to meet a fierce snake.
00:22:26I don't know.
00:22:28I don't know where it is.
00:22:30I don't know where it is.
00:22:32I don't know where it is.
00:22:34I don't know where it is.
00:22:44In the middle of the forest,
00:22:46Owa Minay has an opportunity
00:22:48to meet a fierce snake.
00:23:00Owa Minay has an opportunity
00:23:02to meet a fierce snake.
00:23:14The remaining biscuits from his breakfast,
00:23:19he ate first.
00:23:25So that he can gather strength to go down again.
00:23:28The next day,
00:23:43The bananas he picked were immediately cleaned by Oa Minay.
00:23:51He also placed it next to the dried, thin pieces of sagisik.
00:23:57Even though Oa Minay's eyes are blurry,
00:23:59but the construction of the basket,
00:24:01even if he didn't see it,
00:24:03his hands are covered with it.
00:24:08Oa Minay is the 6th of his siblings.
00:24:11He was only 10 years old when he learned how to knit.
00:24:20He didn't learn anything from them.
00:24:22That's why, in making their basket,
00:24:25as well as their age,
00:24:27in one week, they were able to make 6 trays and baskets,
00:24:33that Oa Minay sold one by one.
00:24:42He was able to sell it for 50 to 200 pesos,
00:24:47depending on the quantity.
00:24:48He was also able to buy food and clothes.
00:24:54Every month, he was lucky if he could earn 2,000 pesos.
00:25:14He wanted to grow up,
00:25:17and not make his family poor.
00:25:19They could work as long as they wanted,
00:25:22but with limitations.
00:25:25As of 2020,
00:25:27we have 1.8 million people who don't receive any pension.
00:25:32The elderly don't want to be totally dependent on their children.
00:25:37So, I hope our government will support them,
00:25:40especially the mother, because she doesn't have a husband and children.
00:25:44This past Friday,
00:25:45our team accompanied Oa Minay, Inday Liling, and Manoy Guillermo
00:25:51to have their doctors checked up.
00:25:53Inday Liling has a high BP of 150 over 90.
00:25:57It's dangerous if we don't control it.
00:25:59Her father has a feeling of cough.
00:26:02When it comes to aging,
00:26:03our hearing can really diminish.
00:26:06To know the underlying conditions,
00:26:09we need to undergo comprehensive tests.
00:26:13Oa Minay's eyes were also examined.
00:26:16Usually, when there's a cataract,
00:26:18the light doesn't reach the eyes.
00:26:22It's hard for them to look far.
00:26:24They're prone to accidents.
00:26:26We can refer them to our partner ophthalmologists
00:26:30who will perform cataract surgery for free.
00:26:34So that they won't have problems eating the next few days.
00:26:44Our team gave them grocery items.
00:27:04So that they won't have a hard time walking,
00:27:07the Department of Labor and Employment promised
00:27:10that they will provide support to them.
00:27:13Through the Dollar Integrated Livelihood Program,
00:27:15we provide livelihood projects
00:27:18to senior citizens like Oa Minay
00:27:21and other marginalized and vulnerable groups.
00:27:23As individuals,
00:27:24we can provide up to 30,000 worth of materials
00:27:28and necessities.
00:27:30So that it won't be too dangerous
00:27:34and it won't be a burden.
00:27:36We can procure materials
00:27:40and give it to them.
00:27:42They can make baskets at home.
00:27:47They're on the brink of death.
00:27:52Instead of resting,
00:27:54because there's no other way,
00:27:58they're here,
00:27:59living their lives
00:28:01for the next 10 days
00:28:05so that they can live.
00:28:14Can horses really fly?
00:28:18Just like what's being done in Barangay Ampihanon
00:28:22in Baybay City, Métis.
00:28:25In a remote barangay in Baybay City, Leyte,
00:28:31there was an explosion.
00:28:34Not by chickens,
00:28:35but by horses.
00:28:40Did you do this?
00:28:41Yes.
00:28:42Oh my!
00:28:47So that they won't have a hard time walking,
00:28:51Okay, let's go!
00:28:53So that they won't get hurt
00:28:55when the horses are gone,
00:28:57some of them climbed up a coconut tree.
00:28:59Because there's no barrier
00:29:01like in an arena or a pool.
00:29:03Horses are especially aggressive.
00:29:06Just like this one,
00:29:07who just started fighting,
00:29:09he grabbed and threw his opponent.
00:29:14Go, go, go!
00:29:17Bye-bye!
00:29:22Until their near-rest vacation,
00:29:24they also wore shoes
00:29:26and forcefully pushed them into the river
00:29:28where they continued to fight.
00:29:35Until they ran after the horses
00:29:37where they were more aggressive.
00:29:39That's why the audience started...
00:29:42They're fighting!
00:29:43Oh my!
00:29:44Oh my!
00:29:45Oh my!
00:29:46Oh my!
00:29:47Oh my!
00:29:48Oh my!
00:29:49Oh my!
00:29:50Oh my!
00:29:51Oh my!
00:29:52Oh my!
00:29:53They don't shout when they fight.
00:29:56They're fighting!
00:29:58Horses are like that.
00:30:00They're like a group of people.
00:30:02They enjoy fighting.
00:30:08But wait,
00:30:09isn't it prohibited for horses to fight?
00:30:15The so-called horse fight
00:30:17was held in this lot in Barangay Ampihanon
00:30:20one day after their festival.
00:30:24This horse fighting is held almost every year.
00:30:28It's a tradition here
00:30:30that there's a game like that after the festival.
00:30:33This year,
00:30:34three pairs of horses fought each other.
00:30:38One of the winners of the three pairs of horses
00:30:42that day
00:30:43is Jerry.
00:30:44He doesn't have a real name.
00:30:46He fought against the two-year-old brown horse
00:30:50that he also enjoyed fighting with.
00:30:54I fed it first before I fought.
00:30:56I brought it there.
00:30:57It's just for fun.
00:30:59He was able to defeat the black horse
00:31:02that only belongs to their barangay.
00:31:05Like other horse fighting,
00:31:07three pairs of horses are used in each battle.
00:31:11Two men will fight
00:31:13and a woman will be fed in the middle
00:31:16with a rope around her nose.
00:31:18The two men
00:31:23will be aggressive.
00:31:24Because of an open space,
00:31:27the horse will just grab the ground.
00:31:30If the horse goes out of the ground
00:31:33or stands up twice,
00:31:36it will be defeated.
00:31:37If there are 10 horses,
00:31:38it will be defeated.
00:31:39If there's only one horse,
00:31:40the woman will win.
00:31:44At first,
00:31:45Eddie's horse looks aggressive.
00:31:48But in the middle of the game,
00:31:50it suddenly ran away.
00:31:54It came back twice.
00:31:56But because of the continuous attack
00:31:59and bite of the black horse,
00:32:01Jerry's horse was defeated.
00:32:07These are his wounds.
00:32:08This one.
00:32:09This one.
00:32:10One, two, three,
00:32:12four, five,
00:32:14six, seven, eight.
00:32:16Eight wounds.
00:32:17All of these wounds
00:32:19are from a strong enemy.
00:32:20Because my hand ran away.
00:32:22It didn't hurt.
00:32:24According to Jerry,
00:32:26nothing happened.
00:32:29But they received a consolation prize.
00:32:32They gave us 500 pesos
00:32:34and they lost to me.
00:32:36I asked for 200 pesos.
00:32:37The winner received 300 pesos.
00:32:39I used that money to buy food.
00:32:41I received 200 pesos.
00:32:43I really don't want to fight that
00:32:45because we earned that money
00:32:47for our needs.
00:32:50I don't want to fight a fighting horse
00:32:52because it's pitiful.
00:32:53The horse gets hurt.
00:32:54It bites.
00:32:55And the people,
00:32:56when they get beaten,
00:32:57it's also pitiful.
00:32:58It's been 500 to 600 years
00:33:02that there's horse fighting here in the Philippines.
00:33:04It's a part of their rituals,
00:33:06traditions,
00:33:07and festivals
00:33:08for their ethnic groups.
00:33:10A lot of this continues
00:33:12in the south of our country,
00:33:14in Mindanao.
00:33:15There are also some in Visayas.
00:33:19But sometimes,
00:33:20the horses' hooves
00:33:22are not just for fun,
00:33:23they also do
00:33:25gambling,
00:33:26gambling,
00:33:27gambling,
00:33:28gambling,
00:33:29gambling,
00:33:30100,000 pesos.
00:33:32Even so,
00:33:33because it's an abuse
00:33:35to horses,
00:33:36some sectors
00:33:37consider it a crime.
00:33:39It is a cruel act.
00:33:40We put them in a situation
00:33:42where they can't run.
00:33:44We treat them
00:33:45as something that's disposable
00:33:47when in fact,
00:33:48they have lives
00:33:49and they get hurt.
00:33:51And according to Republic Act 8485,
00:33:54or the Animal Welfare Act of 1998,
00:33:57horse fighting is illegal.
00:33:59If proven guilty,
00:34:01the penalty would be
00:34:04imprisonment
00:34:05from 6 months
00:34:06up to 2 years.
00:34:07They can also pay fines
00:34:09in the amount of
00:34:1030,000 pesos
00:34:11up to 100,000 pesos.
00:34:13Because the case is
00:34:14who instigated it,
00:34:15who started it
00:34:17regarding the horse fighting.
00:34:20For the indigenous people,
00:34:22there is a law
00:34:24that allows them
00:34:26to do it due to their tradition,
00:34:28which is for now,
00:34:29there is no law
00:34:30that prohibits it.
00:34:32That's why,
00:34:33despite the law
00:34:35that prohibits it,
00:34:37why is this kind of duel
00:34:39still happening
00:34:40in a barangay fiesta?
00:34:44Our team investigated
00:34:46before going to the barangay hall.
00:34:48And according to the barangay leadership,
00:34:51they were not given
00:34:52the permission
00:34:53to do horse fighting.
00:34:57The barangay does not
00:34:58really allow it.
00:35:06That's why they didn't know
00:35:07that there was a horse fighting
00:35:08that happened
00:35:09because we are busy
00:35:10here in the barangay.
00:35:15There is no fence
00:35:16where it happened.
00:35:17So it's really dangerous
00:35:18for the people.
00:35:19Our team also found out
00:35:21who was behind
00:35:23the organization
00:35:24of this kind of horse fighting.
00:35:27There was someone
00:35:28who allowed us
00:35:29to do horse fighting
00:35:30but we were not allowed.
00:35:32Our team found
00:35:33the one who was taught
00:35:34by the barangay,
00:35:35Mark.
00:35:36He doesn't have a real name.
00:35:37I like horse fighting.
00:35:40Mark clarified that
00:35:41he was not the one
00:35:42who organized
00:35:43the duel
00:35:44or horse fighting.
00:35:46There was someone
00:35:47who approached
00:35:48his men
00:35:49who solicited
00:35:50for a prize.
00:35:51It's just for fun.
00:35:52That's why I said
00:35:53it's just for fun.
00:35:54It's up to you.
00:35:55However,
00:35:56he denied
00:35:57that the barangay
00:35:58didn't know
00:35:59about the duel.
00:36:01They knew
00:36:02that there was no festival
00:36:03in the barangay.
00:36:04They didn't call
00:36:05for the duel.
00:36:06We were accused
00:36:07that we didn't allow
00:36:08the horse fighting.
00:36:13It's just for fun.
00:36:14We are used to it.
00:36:15It's just for fun.
00:36:16It's just for fun.
00:36:17It's just for fun.
00:36:18For us,
00:36:19it's really prohibited.
00:36:20The sponsor
00:36:21can say
00:36:22that
00:36:23he tolerates
00:36:24that kind of
00:36:25horse fighting.
00:36:27They can also
00:36:28be liable.
00:36:29Even if
00:36:30he has no money,
00:36:31he is not
00:36:32gambling,
00:36:33it's still
00:36:34cruelty.
00:36:35It's still
00:36:36against the law.
00:36:37Let's stop
00:36:38supporting
00:36:39these activities
00:36:40because
00:36:41if there is no support
00:36:42or no protest,
00:36:43it's not
00:36:44acceptable.
00:36:45It's not
00:36:46acceptable.
00:36:47It's not
00:36:48acceptable.
00:36:49We are going
00:36:50to investigate,
00:36:51we are also
00:36:52reporting it
00:36:53to the chief of police
00:36:54so that this will
00:36:55not happen
00:36:56to other barangays.
00:36:57Is it illegal
00:36:58fighting horses?
00:36:59Now that I know
00:37:00that it's prohibited,
00:37:01I won't
00:37:02be given
00:37:03a fee.
00:37:04I don't want to be
00:37:05involved.
00:37:06Let us just clarify
00:37:08and add
00:37:09that the fighting
00:37:10or fighting
00:37:11of horses
00:37:12is illegal.
00:37:13It's prohibited
00:37:14in the law
00:37:15that they
00:37:16should not
00:37:17fight
00:37:18If you have the guts, you should go for it!
00:37:30It's normal now that there's something going to fly away.
00:37:35The airport cleaner, Rosalinda,
00:37:37has limited space for the passengers,
00:37:41especially those who pass through the X-ray machine.
00:37:45But among the passengers,
00:37:47she was the one who left under the bench.
00:37:50After passing through the X-ray section of IA Terminal 3,
00:37:53her eyes were wide open.
00:37:58I lost my white socks.
00:38:03There was a bump.
00:38:04I thought that it might be money.
00:38:07I was surprised that the inside of my socks
00:38:11was a dollar.
00:38:13Is this the answer to the problem of Rosalinda's money?
00:38:18When my father died,
00:38:19our situation became difficult
00:38:21because he was the only one we relied on.
00:38:29Because the airport employees are being followed by
00:38:33the No-Touch Policy,
00:38:35which prohibits employees to open or close
00:38:39their belongings at the airport.
00:38:42Rosalinda immediately reported this.
00:38:45When we gave it to them, they checked it.
00:38:48I was surprised that the inside of my socks was a dollar.
00:38:53Yes, dollars.
00:38:55The 202 pieces of 50 and 100 US dollar bills
00:39:01which, if you add them up,
00:39:03are worth almost 18,000 US dollars
00:39:07or more than 1 million pesos.
00:39:10Before, I used to get a lot of money,
00:39:12but now, it's the biggest.
00:39:14Who owns the socks
00:39:17which are filled with dollars?
00:39:27Rosalinda's brother is the value of every cent he earns.
00:39:31He is the breadwinner of his family
00:39:34who are now dependent on their father.
00:39:36His mother has a condition in her mind.
00:39:40When she was pregnant,
00:39:41her baby died inside her womb.
00:39:43Since then, she's been crazy.
00:39:45Because she couldn't finish
00:39:47what she put in her racket.
00:39:50I was housekeeping.
00:39:51I was washing dishes.
00:39:52I used to be a sidecar driver.
00:39:54In the truck, we used to load gravel,
00:39:56sand, and I used to do hauling.
00:39:59Before, it was hard for me.
00:40:01I couldn't finish it.
00:40:04Until she became a cleaner at the airport.
00:40:08When I was working,
00:40:09I made it more important
00:40:11because this is where I work
00:40:13and this is where I live.
00:40:18But all of Rosalinda's efforts
00:40:21were in vain.
00:40:23In November, her mother passed away.
00:40:27She suddenly passed away.
00:40:28I don't have a mother.
00:40:29I don't have a father.
00:40:31It's hard when you don't have a family
00:40:33because you're all alone.
00:40:37There are times when I get hurt.
00:40:39No one takes care of me.
00:40:43Rosalinda looked for her mother.
00:40:47But she still couldn't find a way
00:40:49to help her.
00:40:52I don't have a mother.
00:40:56To forget her sadness,
00:40:58Rosalinda forced herself to work.
00:41:01Rosalinda is a good worker.
00:41:03She's hardworking.
00:41:04She always wants to go to the bathroom
00:41:06because she really needs it.
00:41:07In the many times she went to the airport,
00:41:10Rosalinda was able to pick up things many times.
00:41:14But she never complained.
00:41:17I always complain to the Los Angeles Police Department.
00:41:19The truth is,
00:41:20she was able to receive a bribe twice
00:41:23because of her honesty.
00:41:25She was really honest.
00:41:26She was really proud of herself
00:41:28because of her situation in life.
00:41:30It never crossed her mind
00:41:31that she intended to get a bribe.
00:41:33But couldn't Rosalinda shine
00:41:36because of the dollar
00:41:37that was in her pocket
00:41:38when she took off her socks?
00:41:40Especially when it's worth
00:41:42one million pesos.
00:41:44I used to get a lot of money.
00:41:46But now, it's the biggest.
00:41:50I didn't think I'd get a bribe
00:41:53because I love my job.
00:41:54My job is more important than money
00:41:56because I earn money.
00:42:00One more big question now.
00:42:02Who owns the socks
00:42:04that are worth dollars?
00:42:06And why does she have this much money
00:42:08at the airport
00:42:09when there's only a limit
00:42:11on how much dollars
00:42:12each passenger can bring
00:42:14according to the law?
00:42:16We have a limit of 50,000 pesos.
00:42:20As for dollars,
00:42:2110,000 US dollars
00:42:22are equivalent
00:42:23in other foreign currencies.
00:42:24You have an obligation
00:42:26to declare this.
00:42:27So that our BSP can control
00:42:30and regulate
00:42:31the export and import of currencies
00:42:33so that we can avoid money laundering.
00:42:35The Manila International Airport Authority
00:42:38or MIAA
00:42:40reviewed the receipts
00:42:42of the passengers
00:42:44in order to determine
00:42:46who lost their socks.
00:42:48We have a claimant
00:42:49that we are verifying.
00:42:51My job is important.
00:42:52This is what helps me
00:42:53to survive.
00:42:54But now,
00:42:55people are also suffering.
00:42:57That's why we have to solve it.
00:42:59If no one claims money
00:43:01after a six-month period,
00:43:08this will be forfeited.
00:43:10And this will be part
00:43:11of our compensation.
00:43:13And this will be part
00:43:14of our dividend
00:43:15that will be remitted
00:43:16to our National Treasury.
00:43:17Because of Rosalinda's
00:43:18righteousness,
00:43:20she was awarded
00:43:21the title of MIAA
00:43:23the next month
00:43:25for the third time.
00:43:27We are very happy here.
00:43:28She is an example
00:43:29for the employees
00:43:30who are trapped here
00:43:31by many people
00:43:32who are left behind
00:43:33who will use
00:43:34the money they have.
00:43:35We will give them gifts.
00:43:44But now,
00:43:45Human Resource Company,
00:43:47where Rosalinda is a part of,
00:43:49already recognized
00:43:50her good work.
00:43:52You did a good job.
00:43:54We are very proud of you.
00:43:56She was awarded
00:43:57a certificate,
00:43:58token,
00:43:59and financial assistance.
00:44:01Our program
00:44:02also gave her
00:44:03a cash gift.
00:44:05Thank you.
00:44:07Thank you.
00:44:08Thank you.
00:44:09Thank you.
00:44:10Thank you.
00:44:11Thank you.
00:44:12Thank you.
00:44:15We are very happy.
00:44:16We love our job.
00:44:17Thank you very much, sir.
00:44:20But more than any title,
00:44:22the best example
00:44:24for Rosalinda
00:44:26is to have the opportunity
00:44:28to appeal here at KFJS
00:44:31to her missing mother.
00:44:33If I can see her again,
00:44:35please contact me
00:44:36and let me know.
00:44:38I will go to her house.
00:44:39I hope I can see her again.
00:44:41I miss my mother.
00:44:47I miss her very much.
00:45:11A hot issue right now
00:45:13is the rising tensions
00:45:16in the West Philippine Sea
00:45:18between our troops
00:45:20and China.
00:45:22Where will this end?
00:45:30Like waves
00:45:32that hit the troops
00:45:34of the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
00:45:36this seven-patrol boat
00:45:38of the Chinese Coast Guard
00:45:40approached Ayungin Shoal
00:45:42on Monday morning.
00:45:48In this video
00:45:49captured by the AFP,
00:45:51we can see
00:45:53how the Chinese Coast Guard
00:45:55hit the small rubber boats
00:45:57of the Philippine Navy
00:45:59that would bring supplies
00:46:01to the soldiers
00:46:03in Ayungin Shoal.
00:46:10Some of the Chinese
00:46:12even brought
00:46:14swords and knives
00:46:16to the Philippine soldiers.
00:46:23The rubber boats
00:46:25of the AFP
00:46:26were tied up.
00:46:36The Chinese Coast Guard
00:46:39was also hit.
00:46:44In the middle of the battle,
00:46:46a Filipino soldier
00:46:48was cut off his finger.
00:46:52In the rising tensions
00:46:54in the West Philippine Sea
00:46:56and China's aggressiveness,
00:46:58how will the Philippines
00:47:00position itself?
00:47:04Despite this,
00:47:06our soldiers fought.
00:47:08I fought with their bare hands.
00:47:12They can hurt
00:47:14our Navy.
00:47:18Of course,
00:47:20China won the attack.
00:47:30When the tensions
00:47:32in Ayungin Shoal
00:47:34escalated,
00:47:36the Philippine Coast Guard
00:47:38immediately attacked
00:47:40the stranded soldiers
00:47:42in the middle of the sea.
00:47:44That night,
00:47:46they were rescued
00:47:48from Buliluyan Port
00:47:50in Bataraza, Palawan.
00:47:56Five days after the encounter,
00:47:58the two boats
00:48:00of the Philippine Coast Guard
00:48:02entered the Philippines.
00:48:04The fear and anxiety
00:48:06reached the town of Bataraza
00:48:08in the eastern
00:48:10or southern portion
00:48:12of the province of Palawan.
00:48:26Here at the Camp Ricarte
00:48:28Station Hospital,
00:48:30Seaman 1st Class
00:48:32Jeffrey Facundo
00:48:34was the soldier who was cut off.
00:48:36The foreword portion
00:48:38of the Chinese Coast Guard
00:48:40was cut off
00:48:42in the nape of our trooper.
00:48:44Unfortunately,
00:48:46the trooper was holding it,
00:48:48so he was cut off.
00:48:50He was awarded
00:48:52the Wounded Personnel Award
00:48:54for his bravery.
00:48:56As we said,
00:48:58he was cut off.
00:49:04I want you to
00:49:06remove the impression
00:49:08that our soldiers
00:49:10let the Chinese Coast Guard
00:49:12fight us.
00:49:14We were surprised there.
00:49:16We did not expect
00:49:18that they would use bladed weapons.
00:49:20But how did
00:49:22the war in the sea
00:49:24reach this point
00:49:26of the Philippines and China?
00:49:36At present, there is tension
00:49:38in the West Philippine Sea,
00:49:42in Scarborough or Panatagshol,
00:49:44near the province of Zambales,
00:49:46and in Ayunginshol,
00:49:48near the island of Palawan.
00:49:50China is adopting
00:49:52almost the entire
00:49:54Chinese China Sea
00:49:56just like what is
00:49:58written on their map.
00:50:00But this was already planned
00:50:02by the ruling of
00:50:04the United Nations Arbitral Tribunal
00:50:06in 2016.
00:50:08They issued a handbook.
00:50:10This is our territory.
00:50:12They did not include the Spratlys.
00:50:14They did not claim
00:50:16Scarborough or Panatagshol.
00:50:18In 1947, they revised
00:50:20the handbook.
00:50:22They claimed the Spratlys
00:50:24and Scarborough Shol.
00:50:26In the Murillo Velarde map
00:50:28of the Philippines, it is stated
00:50:30that Scarborough or Panatagshol
00:50:32is in the Philippines.
00:50:34This rich fishing village
00:50:36is inside the so-called
00:50:38EEZ or Exclusive Economic Zone
00:50:40of the Philippines.
00:50:42The Pedro Murillo Velarde,
00:50:44the so-called Scarborough Shol, is Panakot.
00:50:46The Spratlys,
00:50:48the so-called Spratlys Los Bajos de Paragua,
00:50:50the Shoals of Palawan,
00:50:52were included in the 1808 map
00:50:54of Spain, the official map
00:50:56of the Philippine Territory.
00:50:58Our evidence is really solid.
00:51:00However,
00:51:02China did not follow
00:51:04the agreement.
00:51:06China now has
00:51:08control of the area.
00:51:12And it is often used by
00:51:14Filipino fishermen
00:51:16and the Philippine Coast Guard.
00:51:18The West Philippine Sea
00:51:20is rich in oil and fish.
00:51:22It is now the center of Calacal.
00:51:24China wants to get it
00:51:26because they are planning
00:51:28a part of their
00:51:30rejuvenation policy.
00:51:32In 2049, all of their
00:51:34lost territories,
00:51:36including Taiwan and the islands
00:51:38in the South China Sea,
00:51:40will be given to them.
00:51:42The largest of the
00:51:44Philippines' territories
00:51:46is the island of Pag-asa.
00:51:48In 1989,
00:51:50we were the first to arrive
00:51:52with the airplane of the Philippine
00:51:54Air Force,
00:51:56so that the soldiers
00:51:58who were destined to go there
00:52:00could vote.
00:52:02But because our air force
00:52:04did not have enough
00:52:06navigational equipment,
00:52:08we could not land in Pag-asa
00:52:10and instead landed
00:52:12at the tip of Palawan.
00:52:14After landing,
00:52:16our pilot saw
00:52:18the Ramos Island
00:52:20where we landed.
00:52:22For nine hours,
00:52:24the plane was listed as missing.
00:52:26Because we were gone for almost
00:52:28a day and the communication
00:52:30in Manila was also lost,
00:52:32we were thought to have crashed
00:52:34and died.
00:52:36Three months later,
00:52:38we were able to return,
00:52:40board the same airplane
00:52:42of the Philippine Air Force and
00:52:44Comelec.
00:52:46In 1999, for the documentary
00:52:48on Eyewitness,
00:52:50I was able to return
00:52:52to Pag-asa Island.
00:52:54Sir, I think
00:52:56you are very relaxed.
00:52:58You don't seem nervous
00:53:00about the other claimants
00:53:02here in Spratlys.
00:53:04We are doing our job
00:53:06as security here.
00:53:08There is no resident
00:53:10here.
00:53:12Did you go around the whole island?
00:53:14Yes, we did.
00:53:16There were three of us.
00:53:18A team?
00:53:20Yes, a team.
00:53:22I also went around the whole island
00:53:24and interviewed the soldiers
00:53:26who were there.
00:53:28Close to the history of Spratly Islands
00:53:30is Tomas Cloma.
00:53:32He was the first Filipino
00:53:34to emigrate to the area
00:53:36when he was allowed to go there
00:53:38to bring his workers
00:53:40to his home
00:53:42here in Quezon City.
00:53:44Cloma called it
00:53:46Freedom Land.
00:53:48That day, we didn't know it was Spratly.
00:53:50When the government inquired
00:53:52about the status of those islands,
00:53:54the government's records showed
00:53:56that there was no indication on the map
00:53:58that it was unexplored.
00:54:00So he was the one who discovered
00:54:02the islands occupied by the other countries?
00:54:04Yes, it was him.
00:54:06As a matter of fact,
00:54:08after that, it became
00:54:10our private fishing ground
00:54:12until my father decided
00:54:14to claim after
00:54:16verifying the records.
00:54:18Hey, stop!
00:54:20He's an arbitrary!
00:54:22In 2012,
00:54:24former President Noy Noy Aquino
00:54:26ordered that the South China Sea
00:54:28and the West Philippine Sea
00:54:30should be cleared.
00:54:32Until recent years,
00:54:34the Chinese
00:54:36have been harassing
00:54:38the Filipinos.
00:54:42In 2019,
00:54:44the Gem Bear Fishing Boat
00:54:46of fishermen from Mindoro
00:54:48was hijacked by a Chinese vessel.
00:54:52In December 2023,
00:54:54five fishermen of Decatig na Banka
00:54:56were also hit and run
00:54:58by another Chinese vessel.
00:55:00It was only 46 kilometers
00:55:02from Dalampasigan
00:55:04to Paluan, Occidental, Mindoro.
00:55:08And on the first part of June,
00:55:10the Chinese Coast Guard
00:55:12bombed the Philippine ships
00:55:14that were sailing
00:55:16in Scarborough
00:55:18or Panatagshol.
00:55:22Their doctrine
00:55:24is to intimidate their enemies.
00:55:26Intimidate them.
00:55:28If you make them afraid, you'll lose.
00:55:30According to the Chinese Embassy,
00:55:32there was a so-called
00:55:34Gentleman's Agreement
00:55:36between former President Duterte
00:55:38and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
00:55:40In that agreement,
00:55:42Duterte agreed
00:55:44that the Philippines
00:55:46will not allow China to
00:55:48enter Ayunginshol.
00:55:50In exchange,
00:55:52China will allow the Philippines
00:55:54to resupply missions there.
00:55:56They asked,
00:55:58is it allowed the Chinese to fish?
00:56:00Of course.
00:56:02That's what we talked about.
00:56:04And that was, we were allowed
00:56:06to fish again.
00:56:08It was a mutual agreement.
00:56:10But that's against the Constitution.
00:56:12The Constitution said,
00:56:14only the Filipinos can fish
00:56:16in our exclusive economic zone.
00:56:18It's exclusive.
00:56:20It should be exclusive to Filipinos.
00:56:22But Duterte believed
00:56:24in the League of Laws.
00:56:26It's territorial.
00:56:28He doesn't want the exclusive economic zone
00:56:30to be patrolled by us.
00:56:32Until
00:56:34the fierce
00:56:36encounter took place
00:56:38in Ayunginshol on Monday.
00:56:40Stop!
00:56:42This is arbitrary!
00:56:44If the Filipino soldiers
00:56:46were caught by the Chinese Coast Guard,
00:56:50how about the ordinary
00:56:52fishermen?
00:56:56Like Lito,
00:56:58who often went to Ayunginshol
00:57:00to look for a job
00:57:02as usual.
00:57:04There are a lot of fish there.
00:57:06It's been a month
00:57:08since he went there.
00:57:10We were fishing in the south of Siramadre.
00:57:12I saw a port there
00:57:14where there were no Chinese.
00:57:16Now there are Chinese.
00:57:18It's hard for us to catch
00:57:205,000 fish.
00:57:22According to Lito,
00:57:24when he caught the last fish,
00:57:26he felt like he stole
00:57:28the whole ocean.
00:57:32Last January,
00:57:34while Lito was on his way home
00:57:36after fishing in Ayunginshol,
00:57:38they were suddenly followed
00:57:40by a Chinese ship.
00:57:42They were chasing us.
00:57:44They were following us.
00:57:46The Filipinos are pitiful
00:57:48because they caught fish.
00:57:50We didn't fight back
00:57:52because they have guns.
00:57:54If they can't catch fish,
00:57:56we'll just leave.
00:57:58In Ayunginshol,
00:58:00Noli's group often went fishing.
00:58:02We went to Naris,
00:58:04Ridbang, Ayungin,
00:58:06Pagasa.
00:58:08There were a lot of fish there.
00:58:10Not many.
00:58:12But when China started
00:58:14to catch those who entered
00:58:16their territory,
00:58:18starting on June 15,
00:58:20Noli was already
00:58:22avoiding fishing
00:58:24in Ayunginshol.
00:58:26We might get caught,
00:58:28so we'll just stay here.
00:58:30Noli also remembers that
00:58:32on May 19,
00:58:34they almost drowned in fear
00:58:36when a Chinese ship
00:58:38chased them for half an hour.
00:58:40That's what we're afraid of now
00:58:42because they're aggressive.
00:58:44They don't want to hurt our neighbors.
00:58:46What kind of fight are we going to have?
00:58:48That's what we should do
00:58:50because our families depend on it.
00:58:52I hope the Filipinos
00:58:54will allow us to go
00:58:56to the West Philippine Sea
00:58:58because that's ours.
00:59:00And we shouldn't be harassed.
00:59:02The Hague Arbitral Tribunal
00:59:04under UNCLOS
00:59:06ruled that the 9-dash
00:59:08line map of China
00:59:10cannot be used
00:59:12to claim waters.
00:59:14It can only be used
00:59:16by the United Nations Convention
00:59:18on the Law of the Sea,
00:59:20UNCLOS. Under UNCLOS,
00:59:22you can claim 12 nautical miles
00:59:24territorial sea. You can claim also
00:59:26an exclusive economic zone,
00:59:28200 nautical miles from your baseline,
00:59:30and then an additional
00:59:32150 nautical miles
00:59:34as your extended continental shelf.
00:59:36The question now is,
00:59:38where will all the tensions
00:59:40that are happening now
00:59:42in the West Philippine Sea go?
00:59:44It was approved by the People's Congress,
00:59:46Central Military Commission,
00:59:48and Pulitburo. They said,
00:59:50we will win the South China Sea
00:59:52without firing a shot. Why?
00:59:54Because if they use it,
00:59:56they will go through war.
00:59:58There will be a nuclear war.
01:00:00If there's a nuclear war,
01:00:02not a single Chinese will be a survivor.
01:00:04Why? China has only 4,500,
01:00:06maximum
01:00:08500 nuclear bombs.
01:00:10The US has 5,500.
01:00:12So if there's a nuclear war,
01:00:14the Chinese will be gone.
01:00:16For the well-being of our countrymen,
01:00:18especially the fishermen,
01:00:20we will not go against
01:00:22what China is doing.
01:00:24We will go against it in a peaceful way.
01:00:26The basic rule, we follow the rule of law.
01:00:28We already won.
01:00:30Let's just follow.
01:00:32Second, we will not fire the first shot.
01:00:34I am confident
01:00:36we have the strongest title,
01:00:38the strongest claim.
01:00:40More and more,
01:00:42the forces of China
01:00:44are the most
01:00:46armed of the Philippines.
01:00:48Law. Through
01:00:50the decision of the
01:00:52UN Arbitral Tribunal
01:00:54July 2016,
01:00:56we tried to get
01:00:58the Chinese Embassy,
01:01:00but they did not allow us to interview
01:01:02or give any statement.
01:01:10We have already given statement
01:01:12to the UN Arbitral Tribunal.
01:01:14We have already given statement
01:01:16that the Chinese Embassy
01:01:18has no right to interview
01:01:20or give any statement.
01:01:22We have already given statement
01:01:24to the US Embassy
01:01:26of the Philippines
01:01:28There has been a no
01:01:30we have already given statement
01:01:32to the US Embassy of the Philippines
01:01:34There has been a no
01:01:36but they still did not give statement.
01:01:38It's about territory, looking for life, rights, and fame.
01:01:49Amnesia.
01:01:51We often see stories or plots of dramas on television.
01:01:57It happened to a man from Zamboanga del Sur, just one day after he got married.
01:02:15May 18, 2024, the day that the bride, Benben, and her groom, Janjan, fell in love.
01:02:25After almost a decade of their relationship, Janjan got married to Benben.
01:02:41But all of a sudden, the promises were broken.
01:02:46Janjan, just one day after their wedding, suddenly forgot.
01:03:17What happened to Janjan so that her memories would be erased?
01:03:31The new bride, Pitogo, from Zamboanga del Sur, because it's hard to remember, Janjan often got confused.
01:03:40Janjan just looked at me, she didn't recognize me.
01:03:47She really couldn't speak.
01:03:52Even their children were like strangers, or not recognized by their father.
01:04:02Our daughter approached her and said,
01:04:04Papa, papa, kiss, kiss, kiss.
01:04:07Janjan pushed us and I cried.
01:04:12To remind the mister of their marriage,
01:04:15Benben even attached the wedding gown she wore to the wall of their room.
01:04:30I framed our picture in the wedding.
01:04:33That's what I kept telling her,
01:04:36we got married, this is what you wore, we got married here in the church.
01:04:41I really can't remember that we got married.
01:04:46I just learned from the pictures and videos.
01:04:50In 2015, Benben and Janjan met at a restaurant.
01:04:56He was a waiter and I was a milkshake maker.
01:05:01They started off as good friends.
01:05:03Janjan became Benben's shoulder to lean on
01:05:07when they were separated by her ex-live-in partner.
01:05:11I really liked him, he was very gentle, loving, and giving.
01:05:19Until Janjan courted Benben.
01:05:22I told her, maybe I won't be accepted by your mother.
01:05:25I answered her, it's my birthday,
01:05:27I told her, maybe I won't be accepted by your mother.
01:05:29I answered her, it's my birthday,
01:05:34Their friendship bore fruit.
01:05:38It was Janjan and I's dream to get married
01:05:41because both of our parents were separated.
01:05:45And after a year of their relationship, they got married.
01:05:53I really cried that time
01:05:55because there were a lot of women who were hoping to get married.
01:06:02I thought that once they got married,
01:06:05all the blessings of God would be poured out.
01:06:10I didn't expect that my husband would get to know me right away.
01:06:18You woke up early.
01:06:20Just one day after their wedding,
01:06:23Janjan's mother, Lina, seemed to have lost her temper.
01:06:29My husband woke up at 4 a.m.
01:06:33He said, I'm going home to Ozamisnac.
01:06:36According to Benben's stepmother, Lynn Grace,
01:06:39on the day of the wedding,
01:06:41they noticed that the groom's mother was irritable.
01:06:45I told her, don't go home.
01:06:48You're making me wear ugly clothes.
01:06:51I feel like I'm being insulted because I'm the one looking for clothes to wear.
01:06:56When we were still married,
01:06:58my stepmother said, this is your son's wedding.
01:07:00Aren't you happy?
01:07:02Until Lina,
01:07:03it was like a volcano erupted.
01:07:06You know, to be honest, our family doesn't like you.
01:07:09That's why I'm the only one who came here.
01:07:11Didn't you think about that?
01:07:12She said that.
01:07:13I don't want you to be my son's wife.
01:07:15That's why I don't like you.
01:07:16Because you have a hidden agenda.
01:07:18I cried a lot.
01:07:19She even told Janjan,
01:07:21I'll take you home because I don't want you to be part of this family.
01:07:24Because this family is so shameless.
01:07:31And in the midst of their defeat,
01:07:34what they didn't expect happened.
01:07:39Janjan, at that time,
01:07:41She hit her head against the wall.
01:07:45It was so strong.
01:07:46It felt like it was going to break.
01:07:50When I looked at my husband,
01:07:52he was struggling and his eyes were tearing.
01:07:59I screamed.
01:08:00I thought Janjan was going to die at that time.
01:08:03Janjan was rushed to the hospital.
01:08:06I don't want to see my husband.
01:08:09I don't want him to die in front of me.
01:08:12Janjan didn't seem to remember anything.
01:08:17She has retrograde amnesia.
01:08:19She has an inability to retrieve recent memories.
01:08:25That's why she couldn't recognize her wife,
01:08:28her son,
01:08:29and the event prior to the traumatic brain injury.
01:08:35Don't cry in front of Jan, okay?
01:08:38You have to be strong because Janjan doesn't recognize you.
01:08:58Meanwhile, we also found Janjan's mother, Lina.
01:09:05She gave birth to her son.
01:09:09They met in the Caribbean.
01:09:11How did they meet?
01:09:14Amiljan gave birth to them here.
01:09:17I hit her head against the wall.
01:09:19It felt like it was going to break.
01:09:24When Nabengbeng returned to the church
01:09:27where Janjan married them,
01:09:29what happened happened.
01:09:34It's not clear, but it's like it happened in real life.
01:09:39We'll be right back.
01:09:49Just one day after Nabengbeng and Janjan got married,
01:09:54the groom seemed to have amnesia.
01:09:58Just look at Janjan.
01:10:00She doesn't recognize me.
01:10:04Janjan hurt herself after losing to her wife,
01:10:08her stepmother,
01:10:10and her mother.
01:10:15She hit her head against the wall.
01:10:17It felt like it was going to break.
01:10:21She hit her head against the wall.
01:10:23It felt like it was going to break.
01:10:33Meanwhile, after a few weeks of medication
01:10:36and a long conversation with her wife, Nabengbeng,
01:10:41Happy Father's Day.
01:10:44Janjan started to remember.
01:10:48I remember the time when I was courting her.
01:10:51I was feeding her.
01:10:53I invited her out to eat.
01:10:56I don't remember anything else.
01:10:58It just flashed back in my mind.
01:11:01Even now, Janjan's memories
01:11:04from the past few months
01:11:06are still hard to remember.
01:11:08I really don't remember us getting married.
01:11:10I told Nabengbeng,
01:11:11let's get married today.
01:11:13Because I saw the gown
01:11:15on the side of our room.
01:11:17I was shocked.
01:11:19Huh? It's already over?
01:11:21But if there's something Janjan will never forget,
01:11:25it's how much she loves her wife.
01:11:29She's so caring.
01:11:31She really loves me.
01:11:33Don't worry. She'll get used to it.
01:11:37Meanwhile,
01:11:38to get the evidence of Nabengbeng's alleged violence,
01:11:42our team went to Ozamis City
01:11:45in Misamis Occidental.
01:11:47It's not that I don't like Beng.
01:11:49At first, I was shocked.
01:11:50I didn't say that I don't like you.
01:11:52They said that they saw him living there.
01:11:54Why is he still making money?
01:11:56Abildjan already lived there.
01:11:58It was 2016.
01:12:00It was my aunt's wedding.
01:12:02Janjan was still courting.
01:12:04My mom said that
01:12:06I'll introduce my ex-husband to my family.
01:12:09But we got divorced.
01:12:12Jan said that
01:12:14we already talked about it with Bengbeng.
01:12:17She also didn't like
01:12:19the way Bengbeng's relatives treated her.
01:12:23They even made her wear expensive clothes.
01:12:27When I went to the wedding,
01:12:29I wanted to leave because
01:12:30I didn't know what to wear.
01:12:32But he was there.
01:12:33He's an artist.
01:12:35He made me wear his clothes.
01:12:37I'll follow him.
01:12:38He called me and said that
01:12:40I'm his third child.
01:12:42I didn't want to concentrate on Abildjan's wedding.
01:12:45When I saw him,
01:12:46I wanted to leave.
01:12:47I wanted to go back to work.
01:12:48But the evil inside of her
01:12:51didn't go away.
01:12:52Bengbeng's aunt, Lynn,
01:12:54hurt her.
01:12:56She hit me.
01:12:58She hit me with a clay pot.
01:12:59She hit me with a clay pot.
01:13:01We didn't hurt her.
01:13:03The couple needs pre-marital counseling
01:13:06to talk about
01:13:08possible future problems.
01:13:10One of the things that needs to be discussed
01:13:12is the in-laws.
01:13:13If the two parties are willing
01:13:15to have a good relationship,
01:13:18there needs to be cooperation
01:13:20between both parties.
01:13:21I love you, Jan.
01:13:23Get well soon, son.
01:13:29Our team traveled for five hours
01:13:31to accompany Janjan
01:13:33to a neurologist.
01:13:36She underwent magnetic resonance imaging
01:13:39to examine her brain.
01:13:41The initial diagnosis
01:13:43in the MRI is normal.
01:13:45No fracture.
01:13:47No bleeding.
01:13:48Okay.
01:13:49Aside from her post-traumatic amnesia,
01:13:52they also noticed that Janjan
01:13:54has depression.
01:13:56There is still hope
01:13:58that her memory will return.
01:14:00So first,
01:14:01to treat the depression.
01:14:03Because depression is one of the
01:14:05reversible causes of memory loss.
01:14:08And number two,
01:14:09we have cognitive stimulation therapy
01:14:13and cognitive enhancers
01:14:15that we can give her.
01:14:18The local government of Pitogo
01:14:21and the barangay of Janjan
01:14:23helped the couple.
01:14:26On behalf of the local government unit of Pitogo
01:14:29and the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office,
01:14:32our agency also provided financial assistance.
01:14:36Our program also provided
01:14:38medical supplies.
01:14:44I'm so happy.
01:14:45I can't express
01:14:47how thankful we are.
01:14:50Meanwhile,
01:14:51to find out if Janjan's memory
01:14:53will return,
01:14:55after their marriage,
01:14:57they returned to the church
01:14:59where they faced the wall
01:15:02to pray.
01:15:05And they also witnessed
01:15:08some events
01:15:10while they were wearing
01:15:12their wedding gowns.
01:15:29Janjan's memory seems to have returned.
01:15:34I feel like she's going to the altar.
01:15:39That's what I want to feel.
01:15:42That she's getting closer to me.
01:15:44I'm so happy.
01:15:46This is really
01:15:48what I want to feel.
01:15:50It's not clear,
01:15:52but it feels like it's happening.
01:15:54I feel like I got married.
01:15:58I will take care of you
01:16:01until you get better.
01:16:04Even if you forget what happened in our lives,
01:16:08I will still love you.
01:16:11Even if I don't remember
01:16:13what happened,
01:16:15I know in my heart,
01:16:17I feel that
01:16:19I love you.
01:16:21I love you so much.
01:16:23I love you.
01:16:25I love you so much.
01:16:27And I want to be with you
01:16:30for the rest of my life.
01:16:32Even if he forgets what happened,
01:16:36I hope his heart
01:16:38still remembers.
01:16:41I love them so much.
01:16:43I will do everything to get better.
01:16:45I want to remember everything
01:16:47for their future.
01:16:49Even if he doesn't remember,
01:16:51I will do everything
01:16:53to not leave him.
01:17:21And don't forget to hit the bell button
01:17:24for our latest updates.
