She's a single mother caring for her 2-week old baby who was diagnosed with neonatal sepsis...i saw her in the mid afternoon, about to take her lunch consisting of two cups of rice topped with a piece of sardines served in a grass-colored plastic plate provided by the hospital... was about to take her first spoonful when she was suddenly interrupted by a nurse handing over something while saying in a local dialect, " please bring these specimens in the laboratory..."
she's almost dizzy with hunger... but she had to oblige for this can be a much needed remedy for her sick child... or else...
she covered the plate filled with food and asked her neigboring bed (another patient's bantay) to watch the child for her... it would only take her five to ten minutes....
