00:02Many people react to Robin Padilla on the talakayan
00:05at the committee on public information
00:08on the banning social media.
00:11The young people are sad to say,
00:15if you are angry with me,
00:17there are many people who are angry with me,
00:19but you are weak.
00:23You are weak.
00:30We are weak.
00:33We are weak.
00:35We are weak.
00:38We are weak.
00:39We are weak.
00:40We are weak.
00:43I am depressed.
00:49It is not allowed to make self-harm
00:53to cyberbullying.
00:55Ilang kabataan na aking nakausap may gustong itama sa mga pahayag ni Padilla.
00:59Ang pagiging vulnerable, for example, sa amin po, hindi naman po siya sign of weakness for me.
01:07Kakaiba po tayo ng generation, so ibig sabihin, so parang magkakaiba lang din po tayo ng way of coping po
01:14to those situations.
01:17Grabe mahina agad. Siguro naman at that time before, yung panahon nila, hindi siya nadadiagnosed kasi mental health nga naman,
01:30hindi naman nila pinapahalagahan noon as compared ngayon na we're really vocal about those things.
01:35It's not a sign of weakness. It's just, I believe it's also a sign of strength because the fact that
01:42you are opening about your vulnerability, it's not easy naman to open up and it takes a lot of courage
01:48and strength to speak up about it.
01:51Pinalagan din ng ilang grupo ang pahayag ni Padilla, lalo't hindi an nila imbento ng bagong henerasyon ng depresyon na
01:57nararanasan nila dahil sa hinaharap nilang krisis araw-araw.
02:01Sinusubukan pa namin makuha ang panig ni Padilla.
02:04Pero sa isang post sa social media, sinabi niyang hindi lambungan ang kanilang mong kahay o opinion ang sinabing weak
02:10ang kabataan ngayon kundi base sa datos.
02:12Kaya kung nais daw makatulong sa isyo na ito ng mga kabataan, dapat tugunan ang nakasaad sa datos at harapin
02:18ang nangyayari sa kabataan.
02:20Base sa datos ng Public Health Research Institute na Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation,
02:26nasa mayigit labing isang milyon ang prevalent cases ng mental disorder sa Pilipinas as of 2023.
02:31Sa bilang na ito, mayigit atlong milyon naman ang prevalent cases ng depressive disorders.
02:37Sabi ng sociologist sa si Ash Presto, maaaring makaranas ng depresyon ang kahit sino, anumang edad o estado sa buhay.
02:45At hindi yan dahil sa mahina sila.
02:47Minsan walang kontrol ang isang tao sa depresyon, lalo kung dulot ito ng neurochemical imbalances o iba pang kondisyon sa
02:54katawan.
02:55Minsan ay may ambag din ang lipunan.
02:57Painting depresyon as weakness is also dangerous, especially because there are also some social aspects to depresyon.
03:05And sometimes we do also have young people who cannot be diagnosed even if they're depressed
03:12because there is actually just a lack of mental health infrastructure in the Philippines.
03:17Nakababahala raw ang komento ni Padilla kasi tila binabaliwala at minamaliit nito ang karanasan ng ilan.
03:23He also erases the other identities and demographics that do experience depresyon.
03:29It's very dangerous especially when we are just typifying one specific sector of the population as weak
03:36and we are reinforcing the stigma of a particular mental condition as de facto indicator of weakness.
03:49Ayon pa kay Presto, dapat magkaroon ng infrastructure at intervention para sa mga dumaranas ng mental health issues.
