00:00The government offers hope to mothers of children living with hemophilia, a rare inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot normally due to a deficiency in essential clotting factors.

00:13Gianna Pineda from the Philippine Information Agency, NCR, tells us more.

00:19May Vega's first son was only seven months old when he was diagnosed with hemophilia.

00:25Tests confirmed later that her youngest son also had the bleeding disorder.

00:30The significant costs associated with managing her two children's hemophilia with monthly treatment amounting to 200,000 pesos often left May and her family struggling to make ends meet.

00:41That's why it brought comfort to her when she was given the opportunity to seek help from the government through the assistance of the Presidential Action Center.

00:49Sobrang hirap financially, mentally, emotionally, psychologically, lahat ng factors mahirap.

00:55Then, hindi naman lahat nakakaintindi ng sakit nila.

00:58Kasi physically, okay sila eh.

01:01Physically, okay yung itsura nila.

01:03Mukha silang healthy.

01:04Kasi, syempre, normal naman talaga sila.

01:08But then, yung sakit nila kasi nasa dugo eh.

01:11So, pag nag-bleed, dun mo lang mararamdaman na may hindi okay sa kanila.

01:15Iiyak sila.

01:16Yung nakikita namin na may mga ahensya na ganito, na tumutulong sa mga kagaya namin.

01:23Nakakabawa siya ng stress, ng worry ng isang magulang.

01:27Hemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot normally due to a deficiency in essential clotting factors.

01:44April marks National Hemophilia Awareness Month in the Philippines.

01:48According to the Department of Health, hemophilia affects one in every 10,000 male children born in the country.

01:54A significant reality which calls for greater awareness and support.
