00:00Ever since my father passed away, I've been with them until I became a mother, a wife, and I've been here up to now.

00:10I am thankful to God for the long life He has given me.

00:15And I have something to say to Him.

00:18I am His gift.

00:20As an example, if I want to worship in a faraway place, what I do is I walk.

00:27With the help of Jesus and Mary.

00:313 o'clock at midnight, I wear a mask, but I am online.

00:36Up to now, I am there at 2 o'clock in the afternoon inside the temple.

00:41Until now, I just wait for the procession to pass by.

00:47Up to now, I can say that I am getting better.

00:52There is no joy in what is happening, especially in Luneta.

00:58My heart is filled with joy because Bishop Lupino Cezon

01:04really blessed the people.

01:10He really missed them.

01:12First, the Lord Jesus of Nazareth. He was only here for 3 years, but He was healed.

01:17It's so beautiful here in Luneta.

01:20I have cancer, I have gout.

01:22May I know what kind of cancer you have?

01:24I have thrush.

01:25This is thrush.

01:28Eyes.

01:29This is gout. It's coming.

01:31It's coming, but I'm not going to operate on it yet.

01:33It's up to Him.

01:34Really, no matter what kind of illness you have, you continue to devote yourself to Him.

01:38My children told me,

01:40because I'm alone,

01:42God helps me.

01:44I'm the only one in the house.

01:46He also helps me.

01:48Right?

01:49How can you not pray for me?
