what happened but she cannot speak clearly, she cannot even stand alone. He called his daughter on the second floor to ask for help. They just thought that Glenda
had hypoglycemic attack without checking her blood glucose level and so they had Glenda drank a half cup of Milo with two table spoons of sugar as an emergency
management. Then, they borrowed a tricycle from their neighbor and went to Ospital ng Palawan for medical help. They arrived at Ospital ng Palawan emergency
