00:00He was also awarded the title of Kapre because of his height of more than 7 feet.
00:08He also became a star in the roles he played on television and in movies.
00:15Raul Dilio, no matter how tall he is, he is also a hero of the challenges he faced.
00:24At a height of 7 feet and 3 inches, he excelled in roles related to fantasy and adventure.
00:39He was also awarded the title of Kapre of the Philippines.
00:43This is what it's like to be cut off in the jungle. It's sad when you're not with me.
00:48I'm happier when I see the people outside.
00:52Raul Dilio
00:54Longganisa!
00:56But this past week, a well-known artist, who is currently selling longganisa on the streets, was seen.
01:04They said, I'm just selling longganisa.
01:07It's true that we're selling longganisa.
01:10Of course, I have a family.
01:12I have two children who are studying.
01:14I don't want my family to go hungry.
01:17Longganisa!
01:18Let's see how Raul will do everything to fulfill his biggest role in life, to become a father.
01:29What's wrong with my life? It's unfair.
01:32I have to live for my family.
01:34Raul and his mother are currently living in this apartment in Imus Cavite.
01:42It's only 8 in the morning.
01:44He's already busy preparing to sell his longganisa.
01:49In order to maintain the freshness of our longganisa,
01:53when it arrives here, we will also put it in the freezer.
01:57Raul sells 250 pesos per kilo of longganisa.
02:02When it's delivered, I'll get a pot.
02:06We also make toasts too, so we have something to eat.
02:12On this day, he will deliver the orders.
02:19The longganisa will be placed on his tricycle.
02:23It's really high.
02:25With the normal size of the tricycle, I really can't do it.
02:29This is the first one, so I can sit a little higher.
02:34If I don't have a chair, it's hard for me to sit.
02:38Raul's partner in finding a job is his wife, Helen.
02:43Sometimes, I accompany them in delivering.
02:46I'm proud that my father is doing something to help us find a job.
02:52She was my idol.
02:54She was making a living by selling longganisa.
02:58I'm really happy that I have a job.
03:01I'm really happy that I have a job.
03:06I'm really happy that I have a job.
03:08It's a different kind of appreciation.
03:31This is the first time that I've ordered longganisa.
03:35They said it's delicious.
03:36Longganisa, please.
03:37Surprised by the knowledge of many, Raul has been selling longganisa for 7 years.
03:43When I don't have a delivery, I look for pistos to walk on the streets.
03:49And what he earns every day is what he has taught his two children in school.
03:54Sometimes, I also finish it.
03:56Because I prioritize the needs of my family every day,
04:01when we eat and when they go to school.
04:04I bought it for you.
04:05Raul is really used to selling.
04:08I started selling longganisa, pancit.
04:11I'm the one who cooks the longganisa.
04:14After cooking, we ride a tricycle around the neighborhood.
04:20But
04:21When I was in the hospital, I was under stress.
04:26When I came back, I couldn't sell longganisa anymore.
04:29I switched to selling vegetables, meat, chicken, fish, and pork.
04:35It seems that Raul's big challenges are not enough.
04:39He was diagnosed with prostate enlargement.
04:43I'm just a tricycle driver.
04:45As long as I can find a job, I will accept it.
04:48Because I'm not a chancellor in Manila.
04:50I can just ride a tricycle.
04:52It's good.
04:53And he has friends who are ready to help.
04:57I already have an apartment here.
05:00You can move here if you want.
05:02As long as you live, you don't have to pay rent.
05:08Just use it.
05:09You won't have to pay anything.
05:11It's a big challenge.
05:12Because we have a library here.
05:15I have a friend who sells longganisa.
05:19I said I would try.
05:20I kept trying to make a living for my family.
05:23Here it is.
05:24It's just a little.
05:25We're about to go home.
05:26I said, this is what happens in my real life.
05:30This is me.
05:31I'm just making a video for fun.
05:33It's fun.
05:34I didn't expect it to have a million views.
05:37My customer increased because I was selling.
05:45Despite this, he still has a small one.
05:49I used to be a celebrity.
05:52I used to be a celebrity.
05:54Life is like that.
05:56I was just trying to make a living.
05:57I was just selling things.
05:59It hurts because I'm not used to living like that.
06:03Raul admitted that he didn't have a foundation when he was still an artist.
06:08It's not like the stars or superstars that need to be prioritized.
06:13Just like a character.
06:15If there is a project that suits our character,
06:21I will not walk away.
06:22Many people say,
06:24Oh, he used to be an artist.
06:26Now, he's just selling things on the street.
06:28What kind of situation is that?
06:31It hurts.
06:44It's nothing.
06:45We're just trying to make a living.
06:51I'm used to being poor, ma'am.
06:53But I'm not used to it yet.
06:56Now, I'm just trying to make a living.
07:01In 2017, your heart, Jessica Soho,
07:05became a path for Raul to find his mother, Karolina,
07:09whom he hasn't seen for three decades,
07:12here in San Andres, Quezon.
07:14Good afternoon.
07:15Good afternoon.
07:16Do you know Karolina Luna Dindo?
07:19She's gone.
07:21She's the one you're looking for.
07:23How come she's gone?
07:24She died on February 20.
07:29She's the mother of my mother.
07:32Oh, it's you.
07:35Sister, why did you come here?
07:39It's been a long time since you came here.
07:42Why didn't you come?
07:44I've been looking for you.
07:46You don't remember me, ma'am.
07:50We don't remember you, ma'am.
07:58We saw our mother in the grave.
08:03That's why it hurts the most.
08:05If our mother were alive,
08:08we would have embraced her.
08:10We would have been together again.
08:12I wish I could feel
08:16what it's like to be a mother.
08:38That's why it's so important
08:40for Raul
08:42to have a whole family.
08:44My dream when I grow up is to be a doctor
08:46so I can take care of my father
08:49and help him with his illness.
08:51I want to thank them because
09:02I cried.
09:08They raised us well.
09:10I love you, Mama and Papa.
09:13My dream for them is
09:15that I will live long.
09:19I hope they will finish their studies.
09:23But his biggest fear
09:25Despite my efforts,
09:27I still feel something.
09:32That's why we brought Raul
09:34to a specialist.
09:37And believe it or not,
09:39this is where Raul confirmed
09:41that he has gigantism.
09:43He has a problem
09:45with the pituitary gland.
09:47It causes
09:49overproduction of growth hormones.
09:51It causes
09:53various problems
09:55in his body.
09:57On my examination of his prostate,
09:59he has enlargement.
10:01He feels it
10:03in his symptoms.
10:05He wakes up 5-6 times
10:07to pee.
10:09He feels it.
10:11I want to thank him
10:13because he saw my problems
10:15and my jealousy.
10:21Meanwhile,
10:23Raul celebrated
10:25his 49th birthday.
10:31That's why his friends
10:33prepared a small surprise
10:35for him.
10:39Long live to Kuya Raul!
10:51Our program also
10:53gave him a little help.
10:55To all the members of DEDS,
10:57you didn't forget me

12:21is bigger
12:23than any
12:25gigantic problem.
