00:04 Many Filipinos are suffering from hypertension or high blood pressure.
00:09 It reached 37% of the population in 2021, according to the Philippine Heart Association.
00:17 That's why today is Hypertension Awareness Month.
00:20 My favorite medical service is the GMA Kapusu Foundation in San Enrique, Negros Occidental.
00:27 [Music]
00:31 Alden is already climbing the tree of Nyoong in the early morning, despite the strong sun.
00:39 In the afternoon, he gets 150 pieces of buko.
00:45 He will also buy a tricycle worth 500 pesos to bring to the buko pie vendors.
00:54 I will earn around P700.
00:58 Even if it rains, I will still climb the tree to earn money.
01:01 He is also a fisherman, even though he is a strong man.
01:05 He can handle any job for his seven children.
01:11 Life is hard now.
01:13 If you live in poverty, it's hard.
01:16 It's hard to find a job.
01:19 This May, Hypertension Awareness Month, the GMA Kapusu Foundation conducted free ECG,
01:27 electrocardiogram test, fasting blood sugar test, and lipid profile test
01:34 for farmers in San Enrique, Negros Occidental.
01:38 We also consulted Alden.
01:41 His blood pressure is 120/90.
01:43 If you are very strict, it is considered as prehypertensive.
01:48 I required him to monitor his blood pressure.
01:51 And then, of course, the usual low salt, low fat diet.
01:55 We also gave him hygiene kits and medicines.
01:58 Now that it's hot, enough fluids.
02:01 If they have high blood pressure, they should drink their maintenance.
02:06 There are also three residents, including Alden.
02:09 Luckily, he accepted our surprise, a tricycle.
02:13 I'm very happy, ma'am, because I can use it and I won't have to walk.
02:18 For those who are already a part of our projects,
02:21 you can deposit in our bank accounts or send to Cebuan Loliere.
02:27 You can also do it online via GCash, Shopee, and Lazada.
02:30 Meanwhile, Kapusu, the GMA Kapusu Foundation is heading to Lucena City, Quezon
02:40 to share help to the residents affected by the typhoon.
