00:04 Of course, to be one with nature, Susan,
00:06 so we can forget about stress.
00:08 But you can achieve that by taking heights.
00:10 Climbing mountains, like Mount Pulag.
00:13 Susan, even if it's hot,
00:15 the temperature there will drop to 14 degrees Celsius.
00:18 Oh, that's a worth it view.
00:20 But it's not easy,
00:21 because you have to think of a lot of things
00:23 before you can reach the top.
00:24 That's my story, "Alam Mo!"

00:55 We are looking forward for the Sea of Clouds.
00:59 We stayed there for 40 minutes.
01:01 Considering the cold, we can do it.
01:04 However, at the summit,
01:05 the wind was so strong that it added to the cold.
01:08 So, everyone hid there.
01:10 They managed to escape the cold temperature there.
01:14 My husband's fingers and toes were already numb.
01:20 It was so cold that it was like it was itching.
01:22 In this video, you can see the kids of Teresa
01:25 wearing emergency blankets.
01:27 You should know that in Benguet,
01:29 the coldest temperature in the country this year,
01:32 according to the forecast,
01:34 is 9.7 degrees Celsius.
01:36 So, if you climb a mountain without proper preparation,
01:39 you may experience hypothermia
01:42 or body heat loss.
01:44 Dr. Monique Maglatti, a pediatrician, told us.
01:47 Our body service area
01:50 is the area where heat can be lost.
01:53 So, the area of the children is bigger
01:55 to lose heat
01:57 versus the volume that can generate heat.
02:01 So, they are more at risk than adults for hypothermia.
02:06 The normal temperature of a person is 37 degrees Celsius.
02:10 If a person experiences a lower temperature,
02:13 his body may become hot.
02:15 In those times, we expect that we will have shivering
02:19 or a shiver.
02:21 It is our body's response to produce heat.
02:26 In mild hypothermia,
02:28 we also have filler erection or goose bumps.
02:33 So, that is an attempt by our body to insulate
02:36 or retain our body heat.
02:39 Teresa's family experienced mild hypothermia
02:43 and if it was not prevented,
02:45 it may lead to the death of the children.
02:48 In severe hypothermia,
02:50 we may experience a pulse less, slow pulse,
02:54 or a coma.
02:55 Those are the things we expect in severe hypothermia.
02:57 So, that's less than 28 degrees Celsius.
03:00 We should be extra cautious
03:02 about symptoms like arrhythmia
03:07 or irregular heartbeats.
03:09 One of the first reactions of the body to cold
03:12 is peripheral vasoconstriction or the shrinkage of the veins.
03:16 In the periphery, meaning distal or distant parts of the body,
03:21 that is the hands and feet.
03:23 That is why it is important to use an emergency blanket,
03:25 bonnet, and gloves as a cover.
03:28 We wrapped them in an emergency blanket
03:30 and we gave them all hot hands warmer.
03:35 I put it on their ears and I covered them with a shawl.
03:40 Hypothermia actually is often misdiagnosed.
03:43 If the physical activity chosen for the children
03:46 is trekking or going up the mountains,
03:49 it means we are well prepared for the situation.
03:53 We want our kids to grow up enjoying nature
03:58 and playing.
04:00 They are just kids sometimes,
04:02 so it's better to cherish that moment,
04:04 to explore and spend more time with your children.
04:08 If you want to get cold but avoid the cold,
04:10 it means that the solution is ready for any situation.
