When siblings grow up, they often get separated as each already has his own family to take care of.
However, the case of Lolo Ruben and Lolo Rogelio is quite unique as they have not seen each other for 40 years.
Unbeknownst to Lolo Ruben, KAMI learned that Lolo Rogelio has already been trying to look for poison to end his life amidst all his sufferings.
He lives in a shanty that is almost about to collapse. He's alone and with a foot that has been rendered unusable for years.
His situation caught the attention of netizens after a concerned person posted it on Facebook.
When his niece saw it, and was later confirmed by Lolo Ruben that indeed, Lolo Rogelio was his brother, they sought the help of Raffy Tulfo in Action to get to Antique and reach Lolo Rogelio.
