Balagtas, a resident of Tondo, Manila, detailed in the documentary that he got infected with TB in August 2025. His parents, both struggling to make ends meet, tried to avail their son of free medicines from a health center, but they were advised to buy them at pharmacies. A non-governmental organization then reached out to Luz’s family to provide him with free medication. “May panahon bang nagalit ka sa Panginoon?” David asked Luz. “Wala po, ma’am. Pero nagtanong po, ‘Bakit ako?’ Wala naman po akong masamang ginawa,” he answered with tears. Balagtas died at age 27, despite TB being now fully curable with proper treatment that can be provided by public hospitals or health institutions in the country.

“they chose us” “he abandoned me” do you not realise how corny you sound right now?

I could read English smut no problem but Tagalog smut????? I might need to hide under my bed, duck under the covers, read a sentence, and cringe every now and then. the dirty talk just feels cringe if it's in Tagalog. Like a kanal typa smut. much more kanal if it's bisaya smut.

My little girl can no longer bear the pain… her crying never stops, day or night, as scabies slowly covers her tiny body and steals her comfort. Every tear from her eyes feels like a knife in my heart, and all I can do is watch her suffer in silence. 😭💔

i genuinely can’t fathom how out of touch and self important some people can be in moments like this
