00:00This is the second opportunity to make a difference.
00:08This is the wish of some of the members of the Correctional Institution for Women
00:13who are praying for their freedom every day to start a new chapter in their lives.
00:21The Jeremy Capuso Foundation witnessed their stories.
00:26That's why this Women's Month, we went there to deliver free medical services and other gifts.
00:38At the age of 13, an inmate, whose name is Linda, faced a severe trial.
00:46Aside from his parents' separation.
00:49I was raped by my father.
00:51I didn't want what happened to my own father.
00:54I killed him.
00:56He became a rival to the syndicates.
01:01Until one day, he made me choose between three things.
01:05To live, to die, or to die.
01:08I chose what I didn't want to live.
01:11Linda completely blames his past crimes.
01:15And within 29 years of imprisonment, he only has one wish.
01:21To see his mother, Ms. Gait Camarines Norte.
01:25I really want to live a new life with my mother.
01:29I want to be free.
01:31Linda told this story during the visit of the Jeremy Capuso Foundation
01:35to the Correctional Institution for Women where he was imprisoned.
01:39We performed a pap smear and breast examination
01:43on 100 women and gave them hygiene kits.
01:47Many of our patients here in the correctional
01:50have abnormal uterine bleeding.
01:53They have UTIs and breast masks that we need to examine further.
02:00We also fulfilled their wish for a haircut,
02:03hairstyling, and basic makeup training
02:07that will help them start a new life when they are released.
02:12They will be able to go to the proceeds
02:15and when they are released, they will be able to use it.
02:18Despite the bitter past,
02:20their outlook on life remained positive.
02:23Let's not always be negative
02:26because if we become negative,
02:28we will not be able to face all trials.
