Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 29) — A resident of Occidental Mindoro who suffered from a lung condition died just a week after he was interviewed by CNN Philippines last April 22 regarding the 20-hour long power outages that afflict the province.
Marcos Escarez was a resident who needed to regularly use a nebulizer because of his condition.
\”Sobrang init talaga na ‘di ka makatulog. Halos magdamag nga. Tapos paggising mo sa umaga, hilong-hilo ka,\” Escarez said in his interview with CNN Philippines on the difficulties he faced amid the power crisis.
[Translation: It’s so hot that you can’t sleep. It lasts all night. When you wake up in the morning, you’re nauseated.]
His sister, Rhodora Erodias, said in a video her brother could not use his nebulizer because of the power outages.
The video shows Escarez sleeping outside of their home because of the heat. His family can’t afford to have him admitted to a hospital.
