00:00Of course, nobody would ever dare help me because upon instruction they were not even
00:08allowed to talk to me, not even to come near to me.
00:11So after that, there were two sets of fasting given to me.
00:17One set was there was 10 days fasting.
00:22There was no food, no water.
00:24It was Ninette Okias who gave me the list of instruction and the number one in the list
00:28is to do dry fast for the straight 10 days.
00:32Who gave you the instruction?
00:35Ninette Okias.
00:36Ninette Okias.
00:37Yes.
00:38Okay.
00:39And then I only was able to eat a little amount of rice and rice on the 39th day because
00:48when you had fasted, you didn't need to eat right away.
00:54So there was water, then am, then lugaw, and then finally on the 39th day, that was the
01:02time I was able to eat rice.
01:04And then after that, there was that second round of fasting which was even more miserable.
01:09It started on February 6, 1999, and there were other workers also.
01:15That was very miserable because it was like this.
01:18We were given five days or sometimes seven days.
01:22It was a kind of a series of fasting.
01:25The first, second, third days were for dry fasting, meaning you were not allowed to drink,
01:33of course, to eat food, dry foods, and on the fourth, sometimes it's water, sometimes
01:39it's am, sometimes it's lugaw.
01:43And then another five days, the same pattern, sometimes it became seven.
01:49It ended on the month of May because I have my diary on that.
