Remember Mr. and Mrs. Gary Fernandez, parents of the quintuplets born under difficult circumstances at a Jose Memorial Medical Center (JMMC) Hospital? Well, it seems that after giving them a measly 20,000 pesos by presidentiable and billionaire, Senator Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez, the family was left to fend for themselves. Two of the babies already died because of inadequate funds, and only three remain alive. And the family is seriously asking for the public’s help.

The remaining three kids are under serious condition in a Manila hospital because two of the babies were diagnosed with hernia. They need immediate medical attention, particularly a cranial scan.

Gary Fernandez, the babie’s father said he was truly disappointed with Mar Roxas, who sought his family and expressed desire to help them. After a full media conference with them, and taking their photos with the Senator which were plastered as banner stories in newspapers and television, Gary said they were just given 20,000 pesos and some clothes and baby’s milk by the Senator. Roxas reportedly assured them of his help but, until now, nothing came out of that promise of assistance.

Lack of funds and support caused the lives of Korina Ysabel and Marie Loralaine and only Sarah, Erika and Wenna Mavinia remain alive.

Gary said his two babies could have been saved from death, had Roxas fulfilled his promise of at least helping them raise funds for the medical expenses. Medicines for the babies cost 25,000 each per vial, and they were not able to raise the amount.

Yesterday, help continues to pour in for the Fernandez family from callers and fans of Raffy Tulfo in the radio show Wanted. Callers from as far as Saudi Arabia heard of the family’s pleas and OFWs pitched in and gave funds. The show generated more than 35,000 pesos in just one day, more than the 20,000 pesos given to the family by a billionaire politician.

Yan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko. Milyon-milyon ang ginagastos sa mga TV ads, kaunting tulong lang sa tunay na mga nangangailangan, hindi pa nagawa. Paano pa kung nakapuwesto na? Puro ngawa at pagsasabing “lalaban tayo”, pero sa tunay na laban pala, hindi na maasahan. Mumo lang para kay Mar ang kaunting medical assistance para sa pamilyang ito, bilyonaryo ang pamilya niya, pero, hindi man lang naasahan.

For Filipinos who read this—listen to Raffy Tulfo’s “Wanted sa Radyo” program today (it airs 2pm over at DZXL 558 khz). Please help them. The parents of the quintuplets will be there. Jot down the details on how to help them and please, please help us save the lives of their remaining babies. Tayo tayo na lang ang tumulong. Tayo-tayo na lang ang tumulong para malabanan ng pamilyang ito ang hamon sa kanila ng panahon.Wag na si Mar.Pabayaan na lang natin siyang maghanda sa kasal niya. Puro ngawa, walang gawa.
