00:00There is a brother in Zamboanga del Norte, who when he is farming, his legs are always bent and he walks while sitting. Why is that?
00:16This brother firmly sits when he walks in Zamboanga del Norte.
00:24Their feet and toes are bent while their back is bent.
00:31That is why it is a big problem for them to walk.
00:37Also because of their condition, they are being forced and threatened by their neighbors.
00:44People and our relatives are saying that they will burn us.
00:49I have seen their situation, how they are being treated.
01:06What is the disease that makes siblings suffer?
01:18To avoid being judged by the society, the siblings, Jennifer, 47 years old, Joseph, 53 years old, and Joel, 44 years old, were left in Tuktuknanang Bundok, Tumira.
01:41How are you?
01:43I am fine.
01:46Their mother, Beatriz, and father consortium, Kapwa, 79 years old, are with them.
01:53We started to get sick. We don't go out anymore. We are just here in our house in Bundok.
02:03There is no electricity here. The water supply is also difficult.
02:10To be able to use the rainwater every day, they are paying for it with the rope attached to the pipe.
02:20This is the water that I am paying for, for drinking and cooking.
02:28Because their father consortium's body and hearing are weak, their mother, Beatriz, is taking care of their three children.
02:37My husband, Joseph, is not able to stand up. He is limping. He is limping.
02:46Joel is able to stand up. He is able to serve.
02:50He is able to serve because he has the strength of his hands and feet. He doesn't have any pain. He can even lie down.
02:57Jennifer is also sick. She is able to stand up, but her body is weak. She is not able to stand up because her hands and feet are weak.
03:06She is not able to stand up because her hands and feet are weak. She is not able to stand up because her hands and feet are weak.
03:12It is said that the siblings were normal when they were given birth by their mother, Beatriz.
03:17We still have a lot of work to do. I was able to go to Bunga City. I was there for 10 years. I was able to enter the house.
03:24I clean the house, take care of the children in the school. After that, I also help in the shop of the landlord.
03:31But in 2010, the siblings were almost hit by a mysterious illness.
03:39My fingers were stiff. I was able to go back to sleep. My siblings also felt that.
03:45Our body was really weak. We lost our strength. We were not able to stand up. We were also not able to carry heavy things.
03:55They tried to get a doctor then, but…
03:58There was no doctor to take care of my children because we did not have a room.
04:03It was really painful for me because we lived here in the mountains, far from our neighbors, our relatives.
04:11We did not have anyone to talk to. I felt that I was getting tired.
04:17I was getting tired of my condition.
04:22My siblings and my parents were also getting tired.
04:28They were also getting tired.
04:36Growing corn is their livelihood in the mountains.
04:49We cut down the trees so that we can easily get the fruit of the corn.
04:59The neighbors were forced to leave because it is here that they will have to spend and eat for the coming days.
05:10When Mother Beatriz was still strong, she was able to climb up and down the mountain to sell six bags of corn.
05:19Because of the steep and slippery road and the heavy weight of the corn,
05:25the neighbors were forced to leave.
05:28The neighbors were forced to leave because of the steep and slippery road and the heavy weight of the corn.
05:36The neighbors were forced to leave because of the steep and slippery road and the heavy weight of the corn.
05:43She was taken to the hospital. She fell off the cliff.
05:47Even if she can't do it anymore, she will be able to do it.
05:50We are doing everything so that we can not burden my mother.
05:56Mother Beatriz thought that the reason why her children are suffering is because they are being neglected.
06:03They are being suspected of having leprosy.
06:08People and our relatives are saying that they will burn us.
06:13Because all of us have leprosy.
06:17We notice it especially when they see us.
06:20They look at us when they are with us and they are laughing.
06:24It hurts. We just let them.
06:29Their father, Father Consortio, used to have leprosy.
06:33Leprosy has a deformity or it weakens.
06:38When Father Consortio had leprosy, he went to Zamboanga City for treatment.
06:44After a few months of treatment, Father Consortio's wounds completely healed.
06:52However, it left a permanent mark on his body.
06:57His fingers, hands, and feet were completely bruised.
07:01Leprosy is very curable.
07:04It can be treated and it has been for a long time.
07:07Since World War II, the medicine that can stop leprosy bacteria was discovered.
07:13However, even if their father recovered, their blindness did not stop.
07:19It really hurts.
07:21Because they are saying all kinds of things about us.
07:24But there is nothing we can do.
07:26We cannot do anything.
07:27I am so happy that I am able to see my cousins.
07:30They are so brave. They are brave to face the pain.
07:33One of the people who encouraged Jennifer's spirit was the family she served in Zamboanga City.
07:41She is caring to the children.
07:43She loves my children so much that my wife is very happy.
07:46She is very reliable.
07:48But what is the real illness of siblings?
07:53They walk in the form of muscle dystrophy.
07:57Muscle dystrophy is a group of genetic diseases.
08:00Their common feature is that they slowly damage the muscles of people.
08:07Meanwhile, to help Jennifer's situation,
08:11the officials of the Department of Labor and Employment, or DOLE, visited them.
08:16The family wants to start a pig farm.
08:19That is what we will work out to give them.
08:22Our maximum assistance is P30,000.
08:24We are happy because they give us a livelihood.
08:28To confirm what their illness is,
08:32we brought them to the farm to be examined by specialists.
08:38You don't want to finish?
08:40Let's go back.
08:42Go back.
08:44Go back.
08:46But it is hard for them to go down.
08:49They need to ride a cart made of sack and bamboo.
09:08This is for James' mother.
09:12It is very painful and slippery.
09:33After almost an hour,
09:36they were also saved from going down the mountain.
09:58They were also transferred to the Romano Hospital.
10:03They were also transferred to Rumaragasang Ilog.
10:21They also had to travel to a hospital that is almost six hours away from the farm.
10:28According to the doctors,
10:31the siblings may have muscular dystrophy.
10:35The muscle itself is lost in the body.
10:39That is why they are weak.
10:41We think that it is genetic.
10:43Once we know what the genetic cause is,
10:46it is easier for us to help the family.
10:49We referred the patients to rehab
10:52to help them grow their muscles.
10:55We recommend that they undergo physical therapy
11:00to recondition their muscles
11:02and to improve their strength and range of motion.
11:05So that we can say that they can walk again
11:09like a normal person.
11:11It seems that we will have a hard time.
11:13If it is hard for them to come here,
11:15we can endorse them to the nearest hospital for continuity of care.
11:20The consortium's father is also negative about leprosy.
11:24However, Jennifer has confirmed that she has never had leprosy.
11:29As a way to strengthen her will,
11:32she was visited by her former boss.
11:39Sir, this is Major Torres.
11:44I haven't seen him for a long time.
11:51I am happy
11:52because I am able to see my former boss, Major Torres.
11:57He is a good person.
11:59His children and his wife are also good.
12:01We were surprised that this is how he treats us.
12:05I am happy because I saw him.
12:07But I am sad because of this situation.
12:09Sir, thank you very much.
12:11I am still here with you.
12:13Your children are so good.
12:16I miss you.
12:19I want to go back to you to take care of your children.
12:22If you force me to go back,
12:26God will help me.
12:28I am happy.
12:30This is the happiest thing for me.
12:32I am able to see him.
12:41I don't know if there is a chance for us to go back.
12:45God will take care of us.
12:47I hope that God will heal us.
12:50God will help us.
12:52God will take care of us.
12:57Now, it is clear to the brethren their true condition.
13:02They are hoping that they will be able to stand up slowly
13:06and that they will be able to get up slowly from the pain and discrimination.
