00:00Brothers and sisters in Davao del Norte,
00:06their communities are being torn apart
00:09because of their huge numbers.
00:13But is there anything we can do about their condition?
00:18Their teeth are very sharp,
00:22their arms are popping out,
00:24and their fingers are shaking.
00:28They are the brothers James, Sison, and B-boy.
00:33Can you believe that they are only 5, 4, and 1 years old?
00:40In their physical appearance, many are cute.
00:44We want to hug them.
00:45But there are also some who can't be helped.
00:49Help!
00:51Help!
00:53We can't leave them alone.
00:56We have to help them.
00:58We have to help them.
01:01We have to take care of them.
01:04Is their weight a sign that they are healthy
01:08or that they have a serious problem?
01:12Let's weigh the condition of the brothers and sisters.
01:18Here in the mountains of Talaingot in Davao del Norte,
01:22the brothers and sisters live.
01:24The eldest of the three brothers, James, is 5 years old.
01:28But his weight has already reached 23 kilos.
01:33He almost weighed half a sack of rice.
01:37But his younger brother, Sison, is even heavier.
01:42He is only 4 years old, but he is already 24 kilos.
01:46The youngest, B-boy, is chasing after his brothers.
01:51He is a big boy.
01:53He is only a year old.
01:55He already weighs 16 kilos.
02:07I can't take care of them.
02:09I can't take care of them.
02:13I can't take care of them.
02:19I can't take care of them.
02:38I can't take care of them.
02:42I can't take care of them.
02:48I can't take care of them.
02:53I can't take care of them.
02:58Their favorite food is fried chicken,
03:00but they don't have anything to buy.
03:03Mr. Maricel only sees Bonnie, a farmer.
03:09That's why they often go to Mr. Maricel's farm.
03:14He lives in this farm,
03:16which is three hours away from their house.
03:20I can't take care of them.
03:22I can't take care of them.
03:24I can't take care of them.
03:26I can't take care of them.
03:30This is their daily routine until the evening.
03:35What do you know?
03:38Tell us what you know.
03:42Don't worry about them.
03:46If you hurt them,
03:49don't hurt us.
03:58I feel bad for them.
04:00I want to help them,
04:03When I was young, my father used to take care of me.
04:07My mother-in-law took care of me.
04:13My brother-in-law took care of me.
04:17But Saison was beaten, so he stole the sweet potato from his mother's plate.
04:28After eating, they were put to sleep.
04:33My brother-in-law used to take care of me.
04:40When I was young, my brother-in-law used to take care of me.
04:50The happiness of the three siblings is simple,
04:53eating and playing.
04:56My brother-in-law used to take care of me.
04:59Some of the siblings are cute,
05:02while others are mean.
05:06When I was young, my mother-in-law used to take care of me.
05:10My brother-in-law used to take care of me.
05:15When I was young, my mother-in-law used to take care of me.
05:23My brother-in-law used to take care of me.
05:26I miss my brothers and I miss my mother-in-law.
05:37When I was little, my father-in-law used
05:42to take care of my brothers and me.
05:47But they took my food away.
05:50I forgot to bring half of it,
05:55It was normal when Maricel gave birth to her children.
06:06Before, when I gave birth to my children, I didn't know what to do.
06:14I didn't know what to do.
06:19I didn't know what to do.
06:23I didn't know what to do.
06:26Maricel thought that it was in the womb.
06:30Her brother was also pregnant.
06:32Maricel was just worried that her children might be affected by the disease of their womb,
06:39like high blood.
06:41She was the reason why Maricel's brother died in 2021.
06:47I didn't know what to do.
06:50I didn't know what to do.
06:55James and Saison also passed away quickly.
06:59I didn't know what to do.
07:02I didn't know what to do.
07:04I didn't know what to do.
07:07I didn't know what to do.
07:11Maricel also noticed that Saison was often lying down even when she was sitting.
07:17She was always lying down.
07:19I didn't know what to do.
07:22I didn't know what to do.
07:25I had no choice.
07:27I didn't know what to do.
07:31I didn't know what to do.
07:34I didn't know what to do.
07:42I don't know what to do because I have children.
07:49I don't know what to do.
07:55To find out why James, Saison, and B-boy can't stop their growth,
08:03they were visited and examined by a rural health physician.
08:08According to the doctor, the siblings have early-onset obesity,
08:14which means they are overweight for their age.
08:19James is 23 kilograms.
08:21His normal weight should be 12.8 to 17.7 kilograms.
08:26Saison, who is 3 years old, is 24 kilograms.
08:32His normal weight should be 11.6 to 16.2 kilograms.
08:37B-boy, who is 1 year old, is 16.5 kilograms.
08:41His normal weight should be 8.8 to 12.3 kilograms.
08:44There are a lot of factors.
08:45What mothers eat is wood and wood chips.
08:49Sometimes, carbohydrates are high.
08:52They mentioned that their uncle is a very big kid.
08:55So, it's also possible that it's genetic.
08:57If we are a little obese, we can get a heart attack.
08:59There is really a so-called child hunger in the Philippines.
09:03It's about 27 percent.
09:06This is the highest recorded since the pandemic,
09:11which reached 20 percent.
09:14That's about 2.9 million children hungry every day.
09:19Agricultural, climate change, and poverty
09:23are the main causes of hunger in the Philippines.
09:26Our response to the government is aid.
09:31But I don't think aid is necessary.
09:33We need agricultural support or inputs.
09:38We will help our farmers to grow and earn from their crops
09:47so that they can feed their families.
09:51DOST-FNRI has developed food technologies,
09:54such as Enhanced Nutribone, Iron-Fortified Rice,
09:58Tupig Talino, and Complementary Foods.
10:01To help the children, the local government unit of Talaingod
10:05provided groceries, homeware supplies, and rice.
10:10In the neighboring town of San Fernando,
10:12they were given vitamins and financial assistance.
10:16For the livelihood of the children,
10:19they can also get food.
10:21The provincial office of Davao del Norte
10:24provided chicken feed, feeds, and vegetables.
10:30These are the feeds for the children.
10:35We will give fingerlings of tilapia.
10:38They can sell them and earn money.
10:41Thank you for the food.
10:47The lack of medical and hunger services
10:51is one of the main problems for our residents,
10:56especially in remote towns where there is no help.
11:02We should pay attention
11:04so that the fruits of these problems do not die out.
