00:00We salute you and all the other women, especially this Women's Month.
00:31In Cardona Municipal Fish Port in Rizal, there are women who are fighting for the strength of the men.
00:40Aside from those who are selling or cleaning the fish, there are also those who are cleaning the fish for 10 pesos per kilo.
00:54Among them are Jesusa and Bea, who can't reach their hands.
00:59The difficulty of cleaning the fish is that their families can only support them.
01:05It's really hard. It hurts everywhere. My hands are crumpled.
01:09This is where I get everything.
01:10It's heavy for everyone. My hands get injured.
01:14Some women, even though they are old, still support their families in selling fish.
01:21As a partnership of the GMA Capuso Foundation in Women's Month,
01:26we conducted a free pap smear and breast examination for 120 women in Cardona.
01:34St. Servatius Healthcare Services Laboratory and Medical Clinic also provided hygiene kits.
01:43Pap smear is a screening test that can detect abnormal cells in the cervix.
01:49Abnormal cells can be cancerous cells.
01:52We also had personality development and grooming,
01:57where the daily makeup look was taught by the famous makeup artist, Bambi Fuentes.
02:04I'm happy because I was able to impart my skills to other women.
02:10Sparkle artist Bianca Umayi and Capuso volunteer artist Naj Zablan also participated.
02:18What's important to me and what's been taught to us since we were young and older
02:24is how we can take care of ourselves as women.
02:29Happy Women's Month!
02:33In the first half of 2025, the case of dengue in the country already spread even though it hasn't rained yet.
02:40As a help, the GMA Capuso Foundation conducted a contra-dengue project in Cavite
02:46and a blood donation drive in Tarlac.
02:54Ever since Rosalinda's eldest daughter got dengue, she has been taking extra care.
03:00Aside from cleaning, she ensures that there are covers on the water tanks that can be used for irrigation.
03:08But despite this, her youngest son is still not safe from dengue.
03:13We gave him blood.
03:15That's when we found out that he has dengue.
03:19He was only 17 years old.
03:24It's a good thing that the child was immediately rushed to the hospital.
03:28According to the Department of Health, as of February 22, 2025,
03:34Calabarzon has the highest number of cases of dengue in the country.
03:39In the province of Cavite, Imus has the highest number of cases.
03:43As a help, we conducted a contra-dengue project where we were given anti-dengue kits.
03:51Since last year, we were number one for the whole year, 2024.
03:58At that time, we decided to declare an outbreak in December this year.
04:04We bought misting chemicals.
04:08And because of the rise in the number of cases of dengue in the country,
04:11the number of people in need of blood also increased.
04:15That's why we also conducted a bloodletting project in Gipdugtong Buhay,
04:19under the training command of the Philippine Army.
04:23We distributed 324 blood bags.
04:27Lay Maniego and Princess Canyete were also included.
04:31If we have a dengue epidemic, the top affected area is Cavite.
04:38So we don't stop.
04:41That's why we partnered with AFP.
04:46They collect a lot of blood donors.
04:52The second opportunity to make a difference.
04:56That's the wish of some members of the Correctional Institution for Women
05:01who are praying for their freedom every day to start a new chapter in their lives.
05:09The GMA Capuso Foundation witnessed their stories.
05:14That's why this Women's Month, we went there to deliver free medical services
05:20and other gifts.
05:27At the age of 13, an inmate faced a severe trial
05:32that we will call Linda,
05:35aside from the separation of her parents.
05:37I was raped by my father.
05:39I didn't want it to happen to my own father.
05:43I killed him.
05:44She became a rival to the syndicates.
05:49Until one day, she made me choose between three things.
05:53To live, to die, or to die.
05:56I chose what I didn't want to live.
05:59Linda completely blames her past sins.
06:04And within the span of 21 years,
06:07she only has one wish.
06:09To see her mother, Gait Camarines Norte.
06:13I really want to live a new life with my mother.
06:17I want to be free.
06:19Linda told this story when she visited the GMA Capuso Foundation
06:23at the Correctional Institution for Women where she was hospitalized.
06:27We performed a pap smear and breast examination
06:31on 100 women and provided hygiene kits.
06:35Many of our patients here at the correctional
06:39have abnormal uterine bleeding.
06:41They have UTIs and breast masks
06:45that we need to examine further.
06:48We also fulfilled their wish for a haircut,
06:52hairstyling, and basic makeup training
06:55that will help them start a new life
06:59once they are free.
07:01They will receive the proceeds.
07:04Once they are free, they will be able to use it.
07:06Despite the bitter past,
07:08their outlook on life remained positive.
07:12Let's not be negative.
07:15If we are negative, we won't be able to face all the trials.
07:19And for those who want to join our projects,
07:23you can deposit in our bank accounts
07:26or send to Cebuana Loliere.
07:28You can also do it online via JICA, Shopee, Lazada, and Globe Rewards.
