00:00But the fate of Nanay Sita did not turn out to be a good one.
00:19Six months later, I visited Nanay.
00:24Hello, Nanay.
00:26Hello.
00:27How are you?
00:28I am 77 years old.
00:33How is your new house?
00:35It's okay. I'm used to it.
00:38We haven't talked for a long time,
00:41but she shared with me the bad news.
00:45My daughter is in the hospital.
00:49She died.
00:50Yes, I heard about it.
00:52I am organizing for her.
00:55Don't worry.
00:56Oh, Nanay, I'm sorry.
01:09Nanay Sita and her children have a lot in common.
01:15Some of them sent help,
01:18so they were able to fix the old man's house.
01:27Marcelo was the first to fix the house.
01:33We made the new house so that the helpers could see
01:37that the money they gave was not wasted
01:40because we took care of the house, food, and medicine.
01:44But what happened was that
01:47the new roof of the house was quickly replaced.
01:53There are no more cells in the house.
01:56Alan, the eldest son of the house,
01:59passed away a long time ago.
02:04When his brother died,
02:07Manuel became a very important figure.
02:10That is why we informed the Provincial Health Department
02:14about his condition.
02:25He was taken by health workers to be admitted in the hospital.
02:37Until now,
02:38Nanay Sita has not yet visited Manuel.
02:50Now that the siblings are gone,
02:53it is a bit strange how quiet the place is.
02:56But I can see how difficult their situation was
03:01that they had to endure for a long time.
03:04And it is even sadder because
03:06they could have been saved
03:09if they were taken care of early.
03:22Within a few months,
03:24the treatment for the siblings continued.
03:29Their condition became worse
03:32especially Alan.
03:35I was hoping that he would get better.
03:38So I tried to take him out.
03:40I said, okay.
03:42So I opened his cage.
03:45It was a scary evening.
03:47He ate a lot.
03:49I said, you won't be able to go back to your prison.
03:52He said, I'll go back.
03:55Why? It's okay.
03:57I'll go out during the day and at night, I'll go in.
03:59My brother might feel sorry for me if I'm not with him.
04:02Go to the beach.
04:04Go home.
04:06As Alan got better,
04:09sometimes,
04:11his mother, Sita, would take care of him.
04:14She was also the wheelchair of his mother.
04:19Grandma, they're here at the beach.
04:25While they're enjoying the breeze by the beach,
04:28their favorite greeting is
04:29a piece of sorbet.
04:42When I was young,
04:44I used to go to the boulevard and eat here.
04:47When I came here,
04:49I used to sit here and eat.
04:51I ate bananas, bread,
04:53burbot.
04:55I ate a lot.
04:57What did you notice about Grandma?
04:59Did she notice that her son was getting better?
05:03She also ate a lot.
05:07She said,
05:09I'll eat a lot so that I'll get better.
05:12We're already two.
05:19But one day,
05:21Alan suddenly became weak.
05:25She said,
05:26Your head hurts?
05:28He said,
05:30Yes.
05:32I said,
05:34Just drink some medicine.
05:36I was the only one who was given medicine.
05:38He didn't really...
05:40When he stood up,
05:43he fell.
05:45Then his throat...
05:47His throat opened.
05:54According to the doctors,
05:56Alan was hit in the heart.
05:59He died
06:01at the age of 47.
06:15I pulled him,
06:17and he died.
06:19I was the one who died
06:21because I had a stroke.
06:27Because he was sick,
06:29Grandma could not go to Alan's grave.
06:33Until now,
06:35she still hasn't been able to visit
06:37her son's grave.
06:5740 days
06:59after Alan's death,
07:01we brought Grandma
07:04to the cemetery.
07:19But we couldn't let her down.
07:26I'm scared.
07:37She is still waiting
07:39for her only child, Manuel,
07:41who is still confined in the hospital.
07:56To be continued
