I watched this, at nakarelate ako. Sana napanood din ito ng mga anak ng mga caregivers para malaman nila kung paano pinaghihirapan ng kanilang mga magulang ang perang pinapadala sa kanila para mapahalagahan.

Dapat kasama si Willie Revillame dito sa MMK na ito. Willie is a demented patient na aalagaan ni Gina Alajar. Mukha naman talagang may DEMENTIA ang HOST ng Wowowie. Puros pamBABASTOS na lang sa MAHIHIRAP ang ginagawa nito sa Wowowie.

o well nkakarelate ako sa ganitong storya. caring for people who have Parkinson's decease which is type of dementia is very hard to cared for. bukod sa physically painful, emotionally painful too.
watch nyo this episode so that you will be know how much sacrifice we did for this kind of job.
