00:00So, we don't have surveillance of mental health, and you just give me an idea.

00:06Maybe I will start trying to record that through online reporting of mental health during the holiday season.

00:12Because we don't do surveillance of that.

00:14Ang sinisurveillance natin ito, dati, paputok lang, fireworks related.

00:19Last year, pinagdagdag kong imonitor itong heart attack and stroke.

00:22Kaya ngayon, mayroon na tayong numbers.

00:24Maybe next year, idadagdag ko yan.

00:26Yung mental health, depression, loneliness, sapagkat, alam mo yan eh.

00:3240 years ako sa emergency department ng pj, sometimes they will come to you, masakit ng dibdib, nahihirap ako tinga.

00:39Pero yun pala ang problema nila, mental health.

00:42They're lonely, their families are elsewhere, tatay niya, nandatrabaho ako, malukot sila sa pasto instead of happy.

00:50So, nag-somaticize din yung mga mental health.

00:53And some of them present themselves with somatic signs.

00:57Kaya nga, minensyo ko kanila at kulitin ko, 1553, yan yung aming helpline ng National Center for Mental Health.

01:040-919-057-1553 at 0-917-899-8727.

01:12So, very important yan, with the era of social media, kita nila yung mga kaibigan nila, masasaya, kasama yung family.

01:21Tapos sila, OMW yung malay tatay niya o tatay niya.

01:25Tapos, wala siya sa probinsya niya, kasi nag-aaral siya sa Panila, hindi siya nakahuwi.

01:30So, tumataas na lang yung loneliness.

01:32Meron din yan, mga t-direct ng boyfriend nila, tsaka girlfriend nila, holiday season.

01:37Yan, marami din, ka-oses yan.

01:39So, yung heartbroken during the holiday season.

01:43Tapos, isa pang nagpapagdagdag, pinag-usapan natin Tina dun sa Pinasigla.

01:47Pagdating ng reunion, natin dyan ay, kapag anak mong ayaw mong makita, pakikila mo natin sa family reunion.

01:53Tapos, tatanoy ka na kung ano nga yung mga tanongan, tapang ako may mga tanongan, tapos, kailan ka ikakasal?

02:00Tapos, ba't wala kang pag-aaral? Nakalip ko na nag-asawa.

02:03So, yung mga tingong asa, di ba?

02:05So, lahat niyan, let's all be kind to each other.

02:09I think let's also be sensitive to how others would feel and then be kind.

02:16Pasko tayo rin, so, joy, happiness, peace tayo.

02:23Pasko tayo rin, so, joy.

02:53Pasko tayo rin, so, joy.
