00:00Because of the continuous rains and floods,
00:07the health of some residents of Marilao, Bulacan, is affected.
00:12They were affected by the medical services provided by the GMA Kapusu Foundation.
00:21Not only did the typhoon Karina and Habagat leave their homes in the middle of the night last July,
00:28because of the floods, the health of some residents of Marilao, Bulacan, is also affected.
00:36Some of them were injured in their feet, even their ankles.
00:41They were soaked in the rain, so the trauma was also related to that.
00:49Marife was repeatedly hit by trauma,
00:53which made it even more difficult for her to bend her knees.
00:57It was very painful because I couldn't even look at my feet.
01:01I really lacked financial means.
01:04The situation of the residents of Barangay Lambakin
01:07was brought to the attention of the National Housing Authority at the GMA Kapusu Foundation.
01:12During the typhoon Karina, we were monitoring the resettlement site.
01:16We saw that the most affected area was Marilao, Barangay Lambakin.
01:22That's why we immediately tried to help.
01:25Under our Kalusugan Caravan Project,
01:28free medical consultation, free tooth extraction,
01:32and optical services were provided to 1,000 residents.
01:37Most of them have upper respiratory tract infections.
01:41Second, hypertension.
01:44This is the reason for the typhoon Karina.
01:47There were others who were not able to take their medicines.
01:50Marife also went to the hospital.
01:53We just requested for an ultrasound and a blood examination.
01:57It seems that her foot was infected due to the flood.
02:02We also provided free medicines and food.
02:05We really want to thank the doctors, the dentists,
02:10and all the barangay health workers who are with us now.
02:15We were also able to distribute school supplies to Kindergarten and Grade 1 students there.
02:20Thank you very much to JMA Kapuso.
02:23The medicines were free.
02:24Now that you noticed me, I feel better.
