00:00I can't forgive the love of parents to their children

00:04and almost everything can be sacrificed just for their pleasure.

00:08That's true, Diane.

00:09As they say, the most painful thing for a parent is losing their child.

00:15That's true.

00:16This is the painful experience of our guest who lost his child

00:20while in Sinapopunan because of Edwards Syndrome.

00:24But before we interview him, let's first watch his story.

00:29In spite of the great sadness of losing their little angel,

00:34before it was even born,

00:36Wico and his mister found the strength to rise from their sadness.

00:42Born one, they visit their child's graveyard

00:46so that this memory will live on in their hearts.

00:58Happy 11 months and happy birthday, baby Wico.

01:02In their determination, they found the best way

01:07to make their child's memory live on in other people's lives.

01:12That's why they dedicated their time and love

01:16to helping patients with cancer.

01:20Happy 11 months and happy birthday, baby Wico.

01:28Their story proves that despite the deep wound,

01:32there is hope to rise and give light to others.

01:35Let's learn more about their story here in Rise and Shine, Philippines.

01:42When I watch it, it's both sad and touching.

01:45It's hard to lose a child,

01:47but their help to others is their way

01:52to make their child's memory live on.

01:55And if that's the case, we'll be able to watch it

01:58via Wico Gan's Vimix.

02:00Good morning, Wico. This is Diane and Audrey.

02:03Good morning.

02:05Good morning.

02:08Well, ma'am, it's hard to talk about this tomorrow.

02:11And we really admire you for your courage

02:14to let other mothers watch this.

02:17You shared with us that your baby was lost

02:20because of Edwards Syndrome.

02:22What is Edwards Syndrome based on what you were told

02:26by specialists or doctors?

02:31Edwards Syndrome, also known as trisomy 18,

02:37is based on our research.

02:42And the doctor told us that trisomy 18, or Edwards Syndrome,

02:49is not compatible with life.

02:56One out of 5,000 or 6,000 babies can have this.

03:03One of them is Kowie.

03:06So, it's a very rare genetic disease, Edwards Syndrome.

03:10And the symptoms are multiple heart defects,

03:16overlapping fingers, and so on.

03:21So, it's very rare, right?

03:23You said it's a rare disease.

03:25So, when you learned about it,

03:28how did you receive the diagnosis,

03:31and what were your steps after the diagnosis of the doctor?

03:36We were in denial.

03:41Because we didn't expect that our baby would have this.

03:48I couldn't believe it.

03:53Because all throughout my pregnancy,

03:56we thought it was normal.

03:58Because I didn't feel anything else.

04:01So, my partner, Steven,

04:06was the one who gave me strength.

04:10Because I really couldn't take it anymore.

04:14So, there.

04:18How did the month of visit help your baby's recovery?

04:23In your process of recovery?

04:27Maybe.

04:30Because we didn't expect this to happen,

04:34we felt like he was still there.

04:38So, during those monthly milestones,

04:41we felt like we were still with him.

04:44So, nothing changed.

04:46Even though he's not here anymore,

04:48we felt like he was still there when we visited him at his place.

04:56And I understand, Wico,

04:58that what happened to you became your motivation

05:03to help other patients with cancer.

05:08So, tell us the story of how you started this advocacy.

05:17Actually, even though what happened to the baby didn't happen yet,

05:24we still give back.

05:28We share blessings.

05:30I can share that on my 18th birthday,

05:33I didn't throw a party or anything like that.

05:39I just fed the kids.

05:42But now, it's different.

05:44Because I feel like since my baby is sick,

05:48we said, why not just the sick kids,

05:53but also the cancer patients?

05:55Because I feel like we also feel the pain of the parents.

05:59So, because of what we did,

06:03we were able to reduce their problems.

06:08Alright, ma'am.

06:09How do you help them?

06:11What specific projects did you do?

06:19Our help is personal.

06:21We don't have an organization.

06:23So, we just think about where we can give back.

06:29Because my parents, my mom and dad,

06:34I saw them there.

06:36Because they are so kind,

06:38I saw how they give back.

06:41So, we just think about where we can share blessings.

06:46I contact whoever I can talk to.

06:50Alright.

06:51Wico, what do you want to say to other parents

06:55who may have a similar story to yours?

06:58Who lost their child early.

07:00What message can you give to them

07:03who also feel pain like yours?

07:07And how did you heal from this?

07:11To be honest, I don't know if we are fully healed.

07:16Because every time I think about it,

07:20or when I see other babies,

07:22I feel like I'm still hurting.

07:25And it's hard to give advice.

07:28Because every person has a different story.

07:32They feel different pain.

07:34So, it's hard to give advice.

07:36But maybe, based on what I've been told,

07:40don't lose hope and faith.

07:44Because we are not alone.

07:47So, life goes on.

07:51So, that's it.

07:53But now, maybe you have a guardian angel.

07:56That's right.

07:57She's watching over you.

07:58She's guiding you.

07:59And hopefully, someday,

08:01someday, they will have a baby

08:04that will make them happy.

08:07They won't be able to forget it,

08:09but their family will be able to move on

08:11from this story.

08:13And of course, we hope and pray

08:15that they will be fully healed

08:17from what happened to them.

08:19But maybe, I want to know,

08:21the baby up there in heaven is listening for sure.

08:24What would you like to say to her?

08:32Merry Christmas, baby.

08:34And Happy New Year.

08:36I miss you so much, baby.

08:40I hope you are happy and healthy.

08:45And we love you so much, baby.

08:49She said, no more pain,

08:51no more sickness out there in heaven.

08:54And she said, she's guiding you,

08:57her two parents.

08:59Thank you so much for sharing.

09:01Even if it's painful to talk about,

09:03thank you so much for sharing

09:05the story of your family with us.

09:08And I hope you will be a blessing

09:10to many people.

09:11Thank you very much, Mico.
