00:00 A senior citizen, resident of Aklan, is the one we will help today for her medical problem.
00:06 Her family is having a hard time continuing because she has been hospitalized several times.
00:14 Let's watch their story.
00:17 We need a lot of help from you because she has an illness.
00:22 This is the story of Melody Izuga, 44 years old, for her 79-year-old aunt Floralinda Ibardo Laza.
00:32 She is the only one who is struggling for her aunt's medical needs.
00:37 She was first hospitalized by her mother, Floralinda, in October 2021 due to severe cough and cold.
00:45 Her mother, Floralinda, was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit. Here, the doctor told them that her condition is due to high sugar level.
00:56 Aside from that, her aunt also had other illnesses. A few months later, they brought her mother back to the hospital.
01:05 She started to get sick in October. We brought her to the hospital.
01:12 She was hospitalized for the second time. She was in the COVID room.
01:16 We brought her to the hospital for the third time. She was hospitalized for the fourth time. She was sick.
01:22 We brought her to the hospital for the fifth time because she lost her consciousness.
01:27 We brought her to the hospital for the sixth time. She was also hospitalized for the sixth time.
01:32 After her mother, Floralinda, was discharged from the hospital,
01:36 she was given by the doctors the medicine that she needs to take. But their biggest problem is how they can buy these.
01:44 Just like Melody's only hope, her husband sees her as a farmer in their area.
01:52 Now, her mother, Floralinda, does not even walk and stand and is always lying down.
01:57 She is asking for help in the hospital and work so that they can provide financial assistance so that they can continue the treatment of her aunt.
02:07 To address this problem, we will talk to the other side, Congressman Rodolfo Ordonez of Senior Citizens Party List.
02:18 Congressman, good afternoon.
