We were in Dagatdagatan for Hulog ng Langit to help reunite a daughter who 'lost' her mother in a hospital. We finished our interview and I was already in the car when I saw a baby, shriveled to his bones.
Juriel is two years old, and despite his condition, his mother, not once, even bothered to bring the child to see a doctor! The mother seemed indifferent at the severity of juriel's condition! Worse, Juriel is the fourth of five children. It made no sense to me how she could bear having a fifth child!
Juriel is now in the intensive care unit of the hospital, unconscious and with a very weak heart. Doctors are skeptical that he could make it. Oh, if only for a brief moment in his young life he felt a mother's love!
