00:20 Height, almost four feet.
00:22 Elementary school kids have limited height.
00:25 I think he's around grade 6 or 5.
00:29 He looks like a kid.
00:30 Since he's small compared to others, he stands out.
00:34 In addition to that, his face card or face,
00:38 is the angel's, just like his name.
00:42 He is Angel.
00:45 I'm small, like 6 years old.
00:50 My face looks like a baby.
00:53 My voice is like a kid.
00:55 When I change clothes, I choose the clothes for kids.
00:59 He also has a curve in his body.
01:01 What he usually wears are clothes that fit.
01:05 Why are the clothes like that? It's not appropriate for a kid.
01:08 I brought a posture.
01:10 He also likes to put on makeup.
01:13 I read on Facebook,
01:15 why I'm lifting even though I'm still a kid.
01:20 But before he grew his eyebrows,
01:23 Angel is no longer a baby.
01:26 Because the truth is, he's already 17 years old.
01:30 Really.
01:33 Incoming senior high or grade 11
01:36 in the next entrance here at Calubyan National High School.
01:40 And he just graduated with honors.
01:44 Because he's a senior in high school.
01:46 I need to be able to speak in Korean.
01:49 So I can reach the spoon and the plate.
01:55 I can't reach what I want to eat.
01:58 I'm also afraid to raise my hand
02:02 when I answer the blackboard because I can't reach it.
02:06 He also has perks or advantages over others.
02:12 The advantage is that I can move around.
02:15 I can stand, massage, and I can stand in a line.
02:20 Angel is the youngest of the family.
02:23 Of the seven siblings, only he has this condition.
02:27 He was injured when his mother, Nelsa, gave birth to him.
02:31 I don't know, sir, if I was born as Angel or not.
02:34 I was born at 45 years old.
02:38 I was born at the age of 9.
02:40 I was born at the age of 9.
02:42 I was born at the age of 9.
02:44 I was born at the age of 9.
02:46 I was born at the age of 9.
02:48 I was born at the age of 9.
02:50 Despite this, Nelsa said she was healthy.
02:55 I was born with a healthy body.
02:58 I was born healthy.
03:00 I was born healthy.
03:04 And it was normal for them to call him Angel
03:08 because they believed that he was born from heaven.
03:11 I was born at the age of 9.
03:13 He was the most important.
03:16 But while Angel was growing up,
03:18 they noticed many things.
03:21 He was a bit weak.
03:23 One of the doctors said that Angel's bones were weak.
03:28 When Angel turned 10 years old,
03:31 he noticed that his growth stopped.
03:36 I also noticed that my peers were growing up
03:41 while I was still small.
03:44 I also noticed that my height was reaching my knees.
03:49 The doctor told me to buy vitamins.
03:53 I took vitamins every day
03:57 but nothing happened.
03:59 I was still small.
04:00 My son was the one who took care of me.
04:02 We were married.
04:04 He took care of me.
04:05 Despite this, outside their house,
04:08 Angel was often small.
04:11 My height was elementary.
04:16 I told my mom that I was going to school
04:21 because I was addicted to smoking.
04:24 I told my mom that I was going to school
04:27 because I was addicted to smoking.
04:29 I told her that I was going to school
04:32 because I was addicted to smoking.
04:34 I told her that I was going to school
04:35 because I was addicted to smoking.
04:37 I had many friends.
04:39 Sometimes, I avoided others.
04:42 That's why Angel's best friend was Tik Tok.
04:47 My talent was dancing.
04:49 But despite this, he felt different.
04:53 His account was banned twice.
04:57 They thought I was a kid.
04:59 They asked me why I was wearing a swimsuit
05:03 and I was like a 60-year-old.
05:05 When I was on Tik Tok, I didn't post anything.
05:08 I just saved it on my phone.
05:11 Because of his angelic face,
05:14 many people were sending their love to Angel.
05:18 He said that he had feelings for me.
05:21 I asked him if he would accept me.
05:24 He said that he wouldn't buy me a swimsuit.
05:28 He said that he would get mad at me.
05:30 But he was diagnosed.
05:33 He said that he was addicted to smoking.
05:38 What's more painful was when Angel found out
05:41 that his lover had discarded him.
05:45 I was so mad at that woman.
05:48 Angel knew that his studies were his priority.
05:54 I wanted to be an architect.
05:56 I like drawing.
05:57 I wanted to draw in my dream house.
06:01 Besides his growing up,
06:04 Angel was also suffering from some ailments.
06:07 My brain hurts.
06:09 Sometimes, I can't hear.
06:12 My eyes hurt.
06:14 When I was in grade 5, my eyes were blurry.
06:18 Unlike other people who are in the same situation,
06:21 Angel is not a regular person.
06:25 When I first got my menstruation,
06:28 in November 2022,
06:31 I had a period of one week.
06:34 I was able to follow it in October 2023.
06:37 It was just one day.
06:39 I was not able to follow it.
06:41 We wanted to check his condition.
06:46 To clarify his condition,
06:50 we consulted an expert.
06:54 Why did his growing up stop early?
06:59 Did he have any hope of getting better?
07:02 I was thinking why I didn't grow up.
07:05 What's the reason why he looks like a child?
07:10 The diagnosis is...
07:13 We will find out when we return.
07:20 Incoming senior, 17 years old,
07:27 and has a growing up of a child, Angel.
07:30 But he still has a bad childhood.
07:34 His height is only 4 feet.
07:37 I'm 6 years old.
07:41 My face looks like a baby.
07:45 I was thinking why I didn't grow up.
07:48 Just yesterday, our team accompanied Angel to a specialist
07:53 to find out his real condition.
07:56 Our initial diagnosis is short stature.
08:00 There are many possible causes.
08:03 We have a constitutional delay of growth and puberty.
08:06 There are also endocrine disorders like hypothyroidism,
08:10 insulin growth hormone deficiency,
08:12 and genetic or syndromic causes.
08:16 The only way to find out is through scariotyping.
08:20 In one view, it's a growth hormone deficiency.
08:25 But we need to verify.
08:27 The first thing we need to do is bone age.
08:29 We have an X-ray of his hand.
08:31 We are looking at the age of his hand.
08:34 In growth hormone deficiency, bone age is delayed.
08:39 But there is still hope that his height will increase.
08:43 For now, if his bone is not yet closed,
08:47 we still have hope to increase it with the growth hormone treatment.
08:51 We also brought him to an OB gynecologist.
08:55 In ultrasound, there are many follicles that do not grow normally.
09:00 The diagnosis is polycystic ovarian morphology.
09:03 We will work up for genetic testing
09:06 just to rule in and rule out Turner syndrome.
09:09 Does Angel have anything to do with this?
09:12 When his mother, Nelsa, just diagnosed him.
09:16 It's less likely that he's the reason why Angel is like this right now.
09:21 The symptoms he's experiencing now,
09:23 such as ear pain, blurry vision,
09:26 can be related to the spectrum.
09:28 If it's because of syndromic causes or endocrine disorder,
09:33 we really need to investigate.
09:35 Angel's condition needs complete workup.
09:39 And it will not only end here.
09:41 We still need further follow-up in the future.
09:44 I'm still young, ma'am.
09:46 I'm still looking for doctors.
09:48 I already know what kind of diseases I have.
09:52 But I will continue to do my best
09:56 to follow up and get better.
09:58 Even if the chances are small that Angel's condition will be normal,
10:04 it will not be a barrier
10:07 to him to reach his ambitious and gigantic dreams.
10:15 I'm counting on you.
10:17 This is my condition.
10:19 To those who are watching,
10:21 who are like me in this condition,
10:23 I hope you won't be sad
10:26 as long as God created us.
10:29 Let's fight.
10:31 Thank you for watching, Kapuso!
