Okay, it's time to restart the Powerful Comics Man podcast.

Ang tanging show na tumatalakay sa mga importanteng bagay na nangyayari sa mundo

na walang ibang Pinoy content creator na pumapansin.

Wala nang tse-tse-bore-tse.

Umpisahan na natin ito. Nakikita nyo itong magandang dilag na nakikita nyo dito sa screen.

A physically healthy 28-year-old woman who had chosen to be euthanized next month.

Think about this.

Nagpa-schedule siya para mamatay ng kusang loob next month.

Okay, despite, kita nyo naman, she looks very healthy, she looks beautiful,

she looks like she's having a good life.

But gusto nyo nang mamatay at nagpa-schedule nga siya for assisted suicide next month dahil siya ay depressed.

Okay, so I think there's a lot of things na pwedeng pag-usapan dito sa mundo na ito.

And these are like problems na hindi familiar dito sa Pilipinas.

Okay, kasi yung depression.

Although madami na rin depressed dito, it's not really a thing na pinaprioritize.

Although there have been efforts to tackle it until now, in the past and until now.

And I agree that it should be taken seriously.

Dito sa podcast sa TPKP, madami ng mga guests dito ang nakausap ko about it who are suffering from depression.

And they are highly depressed.

Intelligent, very talented people.

Artists, intellectuals, writers, musicians.

Kumbaga, it is very hard for people who has never experienced depression to even imagine kung ano yung nararamdaman nila.

Merong isang nakausap ako dito.

Pagsinisingga, pagpumitik yung bulate ng depression sa kanya, ng anxiety.

Naglalakad siya sa kalsada, makakakita siya ng tulay.

Kasi mahilig maglakad yun eh.

Perfectly well, healthy, abled body, brilliant musician.

Tapos mapapadaan siya sa tulay.

Tapos all of a sudden, mapapatigil siya.

Seriously thinking about jumping off the bridge.

Diba?

And these conditions, yung mga tunay, of course, mayroon din mga nag-iinerte lang.

I think legit din naman yun.

Legit criticism.

Kasi mayroon mga taong, for lack of a better word, nag-iinerte lang.

Pero mayroon din talaga na legitimately mayroong maling nangyayari sa mental health nila.

Enough for them to jump off a building, kumbaga blow their heads off, or magbikte.

Everything.

Okay, so it is a real thing.

But, balikan natin ito.

Puntahan natin.

Puntahan natin yung article.

Okay, so that we'll find out more about this woman.

Kasi ibang usapan to eh.

Ibang usapan to eh.

Parang, okay, depressed siya.

But, the question here is, legitimate reason ba yun?

Para pabayaan mong magpakamatay na lang siya and just give up on life.

This woman is from the Netherlands.

And the Netherlands is one of the most,

the most progressive leftist country na, well, at least madami silang leftist values dun,

that allowed euthanasia to be legalized.

Back then, naalala ko two or three decades ago,

na-legalize yung euthanasia sa, dyan, sa Netherlands.

Pero, those were reserved only for people who are,

really, terminally ill already.

Kumbaga, yung mga mamamatay na, yung mga sobrang tanda na, diba?

Yung mga may cancer na talagang nagdudusa na lang

who had been diagnosed to have no more hope, basically.

Kumbaga, exhausted na lahat and it is inevitable for that person to die soon.

And you just want to stop prolonging.

The agony ng pagkakaratay nila sa sakit.

Or, let's say, brain dead ka na.

Or, you are just living because you are hooked up to a machine

and pag in-unplug mo yung machine na yun, mamatay ka na rin.

Diba? So, those are the things na pinapayagan lang para may euthanize ka.

Basically, ang gagawin nun, merong medical professional na dadating,

tapos, tuturukan ka.

Ng pampatulog.

Pampatulog muna yun eh.

Parang sa ano yun eh.

Pag yung magpapaput down ka ng mga dogs, ganyan, or cats,

pag may sakit yung mga alaga mo, diba?

Tapos, papayuthanize mo na lang.

Gagawin nila din yun sa mga tao.

So, papatulogin muna, tapos pagtulog na,

tsaka, sasaksak yung drug to stop the heartbeat.

So, mamatay ka na after nun.

Okay, so yun yung euthanasia.

Okay, so yun yung euthanasia.

Gawa din yata yan dun sa, I think, if I'm not mistaken,

it's the same process that was used to execute yung,

sino ba yun?

Basta, merong rapist na in-execute dati nung 90s.

And, ganun din ang ginawa.

Okay?

So, itong si babae na ito,

balikan natin siya.

Okay, the free press.

I'm 28 and I'm scheduled to die in,

May.

Some right to do,

some right to die activist.

So, right to die activist.

Kung mga karapatan kong piliin,

kung kailan ko gustong mamatay,

despite everything else.

May mga activist na ganun.

Diba?

So, may mga aktivista na lumalaban

para sa patas na sahod.

Diba?

Para sa karapatan ng mga kababaihan.

Eto, pinaglalaban nila ang karapatan na mamatay

kung kailan nila gusto.

So, some right to die activist

want everyone to have access to euthanasia.

Even young people with mental illness.

I hope you can participate in this discussion

dun sa mga makakapanood na ito.

I know this channel reaches only a few people

compared to other channels.

But, these are really the things that I want to talk about.

And, if you've been following this channel,

you know that ito talaga yung mga trip kong pag-uusap.

Kahit dun sa Sausawan Podcast,

ganito pa rin yung mga trip ko talaga.

And, sometimes hindi namin naisisingit dun yung mga ganito.

Actually, medyo matagal na ito.

Hindi ko lang maisingit dun sa mga usapan namin dun

kasi ang mga usapan sa Sausawan Podcast

gets way out of hand every time.

So, dito gawin natin dito sa TPKP ito.

And, okay.

So, itong si Zoria,

What I wanted to say is

kung ano man yung reaction nyo or thoughts nyo about this story or my reactions,

just I encourage you to comment your thoughts, okay?

Sabihin nyo kung ano yung naiisip nyo para magkaroon ng discussion.

Kasi, I think these are profound topics na

hindi papansinin nung mga sikat na vloggers na pina-follow.

Nung karamihan, diba?

Tingin mo ba tatakil nina Rendon Labador to?

Diba? Tingin mo ba pag-uusapan nina sino ba yan?

Mga kahit sina Paulo.

Hindi ko alam.

Hindi ko alam sino pa.

Kasi hindi naman viral to eh.

They might be interested.

But, since it's not viral,

very low ang probability na pag-uusapan nila to.

Okay?

Eh, ako kasi wala akong pakialam kung viral o hindi.

Basta,

kumbaga,

yung interest ko was piqued.

Okay sa akin yan.

And, although this story was viral naman to,

hindi nga lang dito sa atin.

It's been viral in the US and Europe.

But, dito sa atin, hindi.

And, I wanted to share these stories from around the world

to dito sa mga audience na Pilipino.

Okay?

So, basayan natin ulit.

Zoraya Terbik.

O, ito yung pangalan niya.

So, Dutch.

Siya, Zoraya Terbik.

28.

Expects to be euthanized in early May.

So, she has around one month, more or less, to live.

Kung matutuloy yung kanyang euthanasia.

Her plan, she said, is to be cremated.

Okay?

I did not want to burden my partner with having to keep the grave tidy.

We have not picked up an urn yet, but that will be my new house.

Di ba?

Ang quirky pa ng pagkakwento niya eh.

Parang, it's like shopping for new furniture.

Di ba?

It's gonna be, it will be my new house.

Parang bahay, di ba?

It's, she tries to make it as light as possible by the way she is talking about it.

And, okay.

So, okay.

Terbik, who lives in a little Dutch town near the German border,

her aunts had a...

...to become a psychiatrist.

But she was never able to muster the will to finish school or start a career.

She said she was hobbled by her depression and autism and borderline personality disorder.

She was tired of...

Now, she was tired of living.

Despite, she said, being in love with her boyfriend,

a 40-year-old IT programmer,

and living in a nice house with their two cats.

Okay?

So, like I said,

this woman is living a very nice life.

All things considered.

And especially, dito.

For sure, millions of Filipinos would envy yung katatayuan ng babaeng ito sa buhay.

At 28 years old, physically, she is very healthy.

She is beautiful.

Di ba?

She is not poor.

Di ba?

Yung bahay niya dito.

Di ba?

She doesn't look like she's poor.

Naghirap siya.

Yung kanyang ano, parang...

Ano bang tela to?

Itong blanket niya.

And...

But, I'm not saying she's ultra-wealthy or something.

Or that being wealthy is a gauge.

But, my point is,

this is a life that most Filipinos could only dream of.

Okay?

And that is not enough for her.

Di ba?

May jowa pa siya.

Di ba?

So, you could just wonder why.

Why would you choose to die sa gayitong posisyon ng buhay mo?

And that, also, if she is choosing to die,

why would anyone condone that?

And not stop her?

Di ba?

Why would the government basically just treat her as a dispensable item?

Okay.

Ayaw mo na.

Di ba?

As if she has no value.

Di ba?

I know that...

Yung mga right-to-die activist,

this is, for me,

there's a thing kasi dun sa mga woke,

yung my body, my choice.

The idea na ikaw ang may nagmamay-ari ng katawan mo.

Katawan mo yan,

bahala ka kung anong gusto mong gawin sa katawan mo.

So, kung gusto kong magpatatok, di ba?

Kung gusto kong magpa-piercing,

or dun sa ano,

dun sa...

Actually, linya yan.

Dun sa mga pro-abortion.

Di ba?

Kung gusto kong ipa-abort yung katawan ko,

yung baby,

yung anak,

nung babae,

dahil yung babae ang may katawan,

hindi katawan nung fetus yung katawan niya,

wala kayong pakialam.

Di ba?

Gagawin ko.

Kasi katawan ko to eh.

Gagawin ko kung ano ang gusto kong gawin sa katawan ko.

Yun.

So, abortion, that is a different topic.

Ma...

Ma...

Ma...

Ma-derail tayo if we go there.

Okay?

But, dito muna...

But for me, dito sa...

In case of the right to die,

I think that is even worse than abortion.

Di ba?

This is...

This is my body, my choice.

To the extremist.

I don't know if there's anything more extreme than this.

Okay.

So, right now, may condition pang kailangan eh.

Depressed ka.

Di ba?

What if...

What if...

Well, I suppose if you want to die, any form of wanting to die, I think, would be a form

of mental illness eh.

Kasi that thinking goes against the laws of nature, of the laws of self-preservation.

Di ba?

Everything or yung default stance ng mga creatures sa mundo wants to live, wants to reproduce,

and thrive.

Kung baga, dumami sila.

Di ba?

Yun ang mabuhay sila hanggat kaya nila.

Survival.

Di ba?

Survival of the fittest.

And nature is very harsh on this.

Na talagang magpapatayan sila para mag-survive.

And going against that, choosing to end your own life goes against everything, the laws

of survival.

Is telling us.

So, that is why, logically speaking, I think, hindi talaga normal na gusto mong tapusin yung

buhay mo.

Especially, if you are fully intact, fully healthy.

Di ba?

And, sure, meron kang mental illness.

And mental illness is actually curable.

Di ba?

Hindi naman terminal yung ano eh.

Yung pagiging...

Pagiging...

Depressed eh.

And yung anxiety, there's medication for it.

There's therapy.

There's support from your peers, from your family.

Di ba?

And you can also find religion if that would help you.

If you are a believer.

Di ba?

There's plenty of things to help you alleviate that burden na nakapatong sa'yo because of

your mental health.

And to just give up.

On yourself.

And then, everybody else, including your family, your friends, and even the government, give

up on you as well.

Di ba?

Is it acceptable?

Well, in the Netherlands, it is already acceptable.

Di ba?

Meron silang mga euthanasia laws.

And, eto, legislated na sa kanila yun.

2001 law.

Di ba?

Legalization of euthanasia.

And assisted suicide in the Netherlands.

And may mga ano dyan eh.

Nasaan ba yun?

Eto, kasama dito.

People who are tired of living.

In October 2016, the Dutch government tabled a draft bill intended to allow for new legal

guidelines for assisted suicide for the elderly.

Even if they are not suffering, pleading that they have fulfilled or completed their

their life.

Eto ka, pang elderly lang eh.

Eto, I don't know.

I suppose, based on this article, walang problema sa batas itong gagawin niya eh.

This is fully sanctioned by the Dutch government.

Okay?

And then, may mga kwento pa siya dito making light of the situation.

Parang it's just a cute thing that would happen to her.

Parang lang siyang nagva-vlog.

Alam mo yun?

The libertarian in me.

The libertarian in me gets the idea, diba?

Na parang okay, kasi ano mo yan eh.

Katawan mo yan.

Diba?

Gets ko yun eh.

Kasi libertarian nga ako eh.

So, kumbaga yung mga choices mo, like let's say tattoos.

Diba?

Trip mo yan eh.

Diba?

Wala akong pake alam kung anong gusto mong gawin yan.

Kahit magpatatoo ka pa nung logo nung, ano yun, nung taragis.

Wala akong pake.

Diba?

Kung yun ang gusto mo, as long as hindi ka pinwersa.

Diba?

Basta may full consent ka, bahala ka.

At saka walang ibang madadamay kundi ikaw.

Pero dito kasi it's an extreme.

It's really extreme.

And the thing is, if you allow this, what kind of message are you going to send other young people

who are suffering the same fate?

If you are depressed and you are thinking of jumping off a building and then you see this,

diba tama?

Ikita mo, eh, okay lang pala, diba?

This is, kumbaga parang, it's empowering for them to choose death over perseverance.

And I think that is the real underlying issue dito.

Kasi this woman, hindi naman nangyayari ito dun sa mga matanda dati.

Or siguro, I don't know.

Maybe hindi, wala palang social media nun, diba?

Probably, meron na rin, madami na rin nakaano dyan.

May mga ila na naisipan to.

But probably very rare yung talagang gagawin nila.

I don't know, yung iba kasi nag-suicide na talaga, diba?

Especially, imagine having this in Japan, diba?

One of the, if not the highest suicide rate on the planet, na bansa.

And I don't know, what kind of message are you sending?

One, young people who have grown to be helpless.

Kasi I think one part of this, of course, I don't know her personally, no?

Pero she could have been a sheltered kid na I don't know kung ano yung nangyayari sa pamilya niya.

Kasi hindi daw siya ganun ka-close sa parents niya, eh.

Nakalagay dito sa article.

You can just read this.

So, yung relationships niya, hindi okay.

And she feels na hindi siya ganun ka-importante.

Yun yung things about her upon reading this article.

Kasi kahit nga yung funeral, ayaw niya yung funeral ceremony.

Kasi feeling niya walang pupunta, diba?

That her friends would not bother going to her funeral.

That's how insignificant she feels.

About herself.

Diba?

And, kumbaga, I think that can be communicated, eh.

That can be communicated to her.

And her friends could at least, parang, hey, that's not true.

Diba?

Pwede lang tawagan.

I'm hoping that there were some of her friends who did that.

Na parang, hey, that's not true.

Don't think of yourself as insignificant.

You are.

Although, hindi ka namin.

Lagi ka kasama.

Kumbaga, mahal pa rin kita.

Na kaibigan kita, eh.

Diba?

Most of my best friends, I have never seen in years.

Diba?

Ilang taong ko lang di nakikita.

Pero, I still consider them as friends that I love dearly.

And, I'm sure, ganun din yung friends niya sa kanya.

And, she with her friends as well.

But, dahil dun,

sa mental illness niya,

she thinks differently.

And, she thinks that even her death would not be enough for her friends to bother with her.

Which is very sad.

Diba?

So, probably, her relationships are not in good order.

But, again, that is very fixable.

Of course, it would not be easy.

Kasi, parang,

I'm not saying it could be easily fixed.

I'm not saying there is a pill na pwedeng inumin mo lang ng isang gamot tapos maayos lahat ng problema sa buhay mo.

It will take effort from you.

Maybe, parang,

kasi, maybe, nagkaroon kayo ng falling apart nung mga kaibigan mo, nung pamilya mo.

And, you would need to communicate with them.

Tapos, magbababa ka ng pride.

O kaya, magbababa sila ng pride.

Or, magkaroon kayo ng effort to fix whatever nagusot na nangyari sa inyo together.

And, that is hard to do.

Okay?

But, that is not impossible.

Diba?

And, if you, you can only fix that if you have the fortitude.

Kung meron kang lakas ng loob na, one, magpakumbaba.

Kung ikaw yung kailangan magpakumbaba.

Or, kailangan to even admit.

Na may problema kayo.

Na meron kang insecurity about this person.

About your mom, your dad.

Diba?

Or, to confront them.

Dun sa mga hinanakit mo sa buhay sa kanila.

And,

I, I think this woman does not have that.

And, I think you can, that is something that you can teach her.

But then again, itong sinabi nung, nung kanyang ano, nung kanyang therapist.

Nasaan ba yun?

Ito.

So, she recalled, she recalled her sidekick.

The psychiatrist telling her that they had tried everything.

Everything.

That there's nothing more we can do for you.

It's never gonna get any better.

So, I don't know what kind of personality this woman has.

How, tawag dito.

How, kung gaano siya ka-open para makapag-usap.

Can you still talk to her?

Kasi based on, on this photo, she looks okay.

Diba?

But, you'll never know.

Maybe.

Yung mga disorders niya can really go out of hand.

Tapos, nagwawala pala siya.

Diba?

May mga bipolar kasi na ganun.

Talagang ang hirap kausapin eh.

Diba?

And, yung kasing thing with mental illness,

it doesn't only affect you.

Dun sa, kumbaga, yung may anxiety.

At saka yung mga nakaka, yung mga suicidal thoughts.

And, it doesn't only affect your daily life.

Your routines.

It also affects the people around you.

Especially, those who are, those who are,

those people whom you have relationships with.

Kasi, sila yung, sila yung makakaranas nung, ano eh,

nung epekto, nung pagsinisingga ka.

Diba?

And, mahirap, mahirap, mahirap makapag-deal

sa isang taong depressed, sa isang taong may bipolar.

And, kumbaga, it takes a lot of effort.

It takes a lot of patience.

It takes a special person to help somebody

with mental problems.

And, I don't know.

It seems like she doesn't have people like that.

Even her boyfriend doesn't seem to care.

Or, at least, that's how she portrays him to be

dito sa kanyang alleged post.

Meron siyang post daw.

Kinu-quote nitong, ano eh, nitong, nitong article.

And, again, she is scheduled to end her own life

assisted by a medical professional early May.

And, meron siyang mga, ano eh, meron siyang mga,

taasan ba yun?

Ito, meron siyang mga instructions for,

dun sa procedure.

Kasi, pagdating nung, ano, nung,

papatay sa kanya.

Diba?

Hindi naman, hindi naman daw, ano, na parang,

okay, higa.

Tuturo ka na kita.

Hindi naman daw ganun.

So, magkakapi daw muna sila.

Nakasagukukwentuan.

And then, she'll gonna be asked if she's ready.

And, ito na lang,

ang nag-iisang pag-asa niya.

She then asks if I'm ready.

I will take my place on the couch.

She will once again ask if I am sure.

Yun.

Yun na lang.

Hopefully,

hopefully,

I'm praying that some kind of intervention happens.

Na, pagdating dito,

once she was asked if she is sure,

maliwanagan siya.

Kasi, the thing with, ano, the thing with,

yung mga accounts nung mga suicide survivors,

yung mga tumalun sa,

tumalun sa tulay,

tapos,

tapos hindi na matay.

Kasi, minsan, ilog yung ano, babagsakan mo eh.

So, hindi sila, hindi sila nalunod.

Nasagip sila.

Ang account nila had always been,

kahit yung mga nagbigti eh.

Pag nandun na, pag nakabigti na,

yung iba, nasasagip kasi eh.

Once, naginawa na nila,

all of a sudden, yung moment of clarity hits them,

na parang, habang, while they're already falling,

tsaka nila may isip,

oh shit, anong ginawa ko?

Ayokong mamatay.

Diba?

Ayokong mamatay.

Ayokong mamatay.

Ayokong mamatay.

Ayokong mamatay.

Ayokong mamatay.

Ayokong mamatay.

Pero, wala, nahuhulog na siya eh.

Pero, almost everyone,

or actually, everyone na nabasa kong account,

ganoon na sinasabi nila.

And, I don't know if that would be applicable

to Zariah Terbeek,

na pagkatapos maiturok,

nandun na sa veins niya yung drug

to stop her heart,

tsaka siya magpapanik

and start saying na,

well, sedated na pala siya, no?

She would already be sedated.

So, hindi na siya makapagpanik nun.

So, I don't know.

Baka pag yung sinesedate siya,

hopefully, maliwanagan siya.

And people around her,

people that care for her,

would intervene

and do everything para to stop her.

But then again,

this is one future that our society could face as well.

Pag nagtuloy-tuloy,

yung mga woke ideology,

kasi yung mga ideas naman,

hindi yan titigil eh.

Do you think na parang they would stop with abortion

dun sa my body, my choice?

Kasi sa Netherlands,

matagal ng legal ang abortion.

Actually, yung Netherlands,

probably sila na yung pinakauna

na nag-legalize ng mga ganyang bagay

ng abortion,

ng mga drugs.

Libre dyan eh.

Gagaga,

parang lahat ng drugs,

kahit yung mga illegal dito sa everywhere else in the world,

legal sa kanila.

Wala silang pakialam dun.

Ganon sila ka-progressive.

Ang idea kasi nila is,

yun nga,

meron kang bahala ka na mag-gawin mong gusto mo.

I'm sure meron ding regulation kahit papano,

pero legalized siya.

Even the right to die,

nandiyan na sila.

Nandiyan na sila.

Sa Canada, nandiyan na rin sila eh.

So, yung my body, my choice,

na dating nagsimula lang

for tattoos

and other physical pleasures,

let's say,

gusto kong mag-skydiving,

pakialam mo ba?

Personal freedom mo yun eh.

Ako, ano ako dun?

Isang ayon ako dun?

Pero pagdating dito,

gusto kong patayin sarili ko.

Ano ba pakialam mo?

Ano ngayon kung wala akong sakit?

Ano ngayon kung depressed ako?

Diba?

And that is the moral quandary

about this issue.

And I don't know.

Aabot ba ang Pilipinas sa ganitong level?

Which is right now,

it seems impossible.

Diba?

It seems impossible.

Kasi napaka-religyosong tao natin dito.

And even may mga kilala tayo,

everybody of us,

every one of us,

knows someone

who are,

who have,

who have been stricken with disease,

na lumaalaban,

diba?

Na kahit gano'n sila kahirap,

lumaalaban sila sa buhay,

to survive,

to tend to their families,

diba?

Na parang tuloy lang,

tuloy lang yung resiliency ng Pilipino.

Diba?

Eh yun nga,

yung Pinoy resiliency is under attack.

Na parang,

gaya,

you,

you hear from people na,

yung resiliency,

ano yan?

Negative yan.

Kapag ayoko niyan,

yung Pinoy resiliency.

Diba?

May, may,

there are legit criticisms about

Filipino resiliency.

Kasi sinasabi nila,

it's a,

it's a,

it's about,

nagiging scapegoat daw ng gobyerno.

But then again,

if you don't clarify,

na yun yung ibig mong sabihin,

mawawala yun eh.

Ang matitira na lang,

masama yung Filipino resiliency.

Diba?

Kung hindi mo sasabihin na,

actually,

kasi ang nangyayari,

yung binivilify na yung resiliency.

When the actual issue

is the government's lack of preparation,

the government's lack of,

tawag dito,

yung concern,

diba?

On foresight and the hindsight

ng gobyerno,

yun ang problema talaga eh.

Pero they are blaming resiliency.

And you take out,

the resiliency

from the Filipino values.

That is one,

one of the recipes,

one ingredient

para makarating tayo dito.

Wherein,

life

would be diminished

as if people,

people's lives

are

disposable.

Diba?

And, I don't know.

If you allow

those kinds of narratives

to prevail,

slowly

but surely,

the, the,

the culture will change.

And, it might take decades,

pero pwedeng makarating tayo sa ganito.

Kasi, yung,

yung Netherlands dati eh,

sarado katoliko din yan.

Diba?

So, anong nangyayari?

Paano sila nakarating dyan?

Diba?

Because cultures changed.

And,

people

who were supposed to protect

the culture,

to protect

their identities,

were not able to fight for it.

So,

mapapalitan yung kultura.

And,

it's our choice

as a people

if we will allow it

or not.

Okay?

So,

let's see kung

matutuloy.

Maybe,

maybe we can

update

about dito sa story na to

ah, later on.

And, again,

share your thoughts

dyan sa comment section.

Ah,

pag-usapan natin to.

Like, share,

if you please.

Yun.

Paalam, paalam.

Thank you for watching!
