00:00♪♪
00:04An old wheelchair with a phone
00:07wrapped in a sack and rubber wheels
00:10serves as a foot rest
00:12for a man we met in Eastern Samar
00:15but who continues to fight for his life.
00:18He is one of the founders of the new wheelchair
00:22now National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Week.
00:26♪♪
00:56He lives on his own.
00:59When he repairs his wheelchair,
01:02he pays Php 30 per wheelchair.
01:05Sometimes, he only earns Php 90 a day
01:09and to be able to move,
01:11he uses his old and wobbly wheelchair.
01:15It's important for me to make it
01:18so that I can get what I want to eat.
01:25So that his body can't be seen,
01:27a foam wrapped in a sack and rubber wheels
01:31that weighs 5 kilos
01:33is what he wears on his feet.
01:36Now National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Week,
01:41the GMA Kapusu Foundation
01:43gives wheelchairs to 12 towns in Eastern Samar.
01:48We also gave a pediatric wheelchair
01:50to 5-year-old Stacy
01:53who was affected by walking
01:55and had to undergo an operation
01:57because of hydrocephalus.
01:59It's a big help
02:01because it's hard to go to school.
02:05It's hard to push the stroller.
02:08We are able to provide mobility and independence
02:12to PWDs.
02:14There are a lot of people in need
02:17and we received a lot of help.
02:19My new wheelchair is like a new life for me.
02:23Many of us Kapuso
02:25did not realize
02:27how difficult it is to see.
02:30This is the answer
02:31of the Kapuso 2020 Eye Project
02:33of the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
02:40Even if the left eye is cut off,
02:42Rory goes around San Juan City almost every day
02:47using his tricycle
02:49to repair broken wheelchairs.
02:54It's even harder for him to find a job
02:57because of his blurry vision.
02:59He can no longer see
03:01the 50 mirrors he bought in Bankieta.
03:05So we are very thankful
03:07that he was able to be a part
03:09of our Kapuso 2020 Eye Project
03:12last year
03:14where there were a lot of people
03:17who were able to get free checkups and mirrors.
03:22I used to have a hard time.
03:24This is the only thing I could use.
03:27You can't see anything
03:29when you wear it.
03:31Clarence, a Grade 11 student,
03:33is also one of the people
03:34who received the mirrors.
03:36This is a big help in his studies
03:39especially since he received
03:41the Academic Excellence Award.
03:43This is very helpful
03:45because the mirrors made my vision clearer.
03:49I was able to understand the lessons.
03:52Do you also want to have
03:54free eye mirrors?
03:57You can call the numbers
03:59flashing on your TV screen
04:02to register
04:03from July 17 to July 25,
04:06Monday to Friday,
04:089 a.m. to 5 p.m.
04:12Who knows,
04:13you might be one of the 150 patients
04:16who will be counted
04:17in the Kapuso 2020 Eye Project
04:20of the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
04:22Kapuso,
04:23in order to continue
04:25the first step
04:26in the future project
04:28of the GMA Kapuso Foundation,
04:30we went to Borongan City
04:32to provide
04:33complete school supplies
04:36that they will be able to use
04:38in the upcoming school year.
04:43These women in Borongan City,
04:45Eastern Samar,
04:46Kanhaway,
04:48will now plant
04:50not to plant,
04:52but to plant seashells
04:55to make quintas,
04:57which is their main livelihood.
04:59Mirabel says
05:01planting seashells is not a joke,
05:04especially when the weather is bad.
05:06In the morning,
05:08it's hard to see them
05:09because they hide
05:10because it's hot.
05:11Sometimes,
05:12when the weather is bad,
05:14it's hard to find them.
05:16In one day,
05:17she earns P100.
05:19In planting seashells,
05:21it's still not enough
05:22for the daily needs
05:24of the family.
05:25Not only sometimes,
05:26most of the time,
05:27my son is noisy
05:29and I can't let him be.
05:31It makes me cry,
05:32but you have to find a way.
05:35That's why her son, Ian,
05:37is also helping
05:38in a small way.
05:40He makes paper crafts
05:42to sell P1
05:44for each piece.
05:45Even though this is what I have,
05:47I sell this,
05:49but I am spending
05:51to help a little.
05:53Now, the entrance
05:55to the GMI Kapusu Foundation
05:57is getting closer
05:58to the complete school supplies
06:00for more than 2,000 students
06:02in Borongan City.
06:04It won't be a problem
06:05for the parents
06:07to buy bags
06:09and school supplies.
06:10It's a heartfelt thank you.
06:14It's a way for them
06:16to feel the service
06:18of our partnership
06:19with our public
06:20and private stakeholders
06:21to help them
06:23in their education.
