00:22He was hospitalized this February 14.
00:25And according to Vatican Medical Team and Staff,
00:27he has onset of bilateral or double pneumonia.
00:30It means that the pneumonia starts in both lungs.
00:34That's why it's hard for him to breathe.

00:45Their lungs are affected.
00:47That's why most of their lungs are affected by pneumonia.

01:06And it can be more dangerous.

01:15She was hit by pneumonia twice, in 2023 and 2024.
01:20For one week, I was hit directly.
01:23I felt that it wasn't a high fever.
01:27But my body was hot.
01:29I felt dizzy and weak.
01:32But the first time I was hit by a severe pneumonia,
01:36I felt that I couldn't breathe.
01:41According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,
01:44from January to August 2024,
01:47there was a fourth pneumonia in the history of the death of Filipinos.
01:50More than 19,000 died because of this.
01:53Pneumonia is transmitted through droplets and sometimes secretions.

02:04and the ventilation of the room is not good,
02:06you can get infected by others.

02:11And to avoid it, strengthen the resistance.
02:15It depends on the strength of the person's body
