On Sunday, The Atom Araullo Specials presents another documentary that tackles the issue of the country’s healthcare system amid the pandemic.
Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Atom Araullo has been following the story of Arturo Solon, an albularyo or herbalist from Cavite. Arturo calls himself “Jesus Man,” claiming that he can make the lame walk and heal even those gravely ill.
According to Arturo, he already died before but was resurrected. And from there on, he got his gift. His popularity went past his chapel where people line up with the hope of being cured; he also amassed thousands of followers on social media.
Meanwhile, Atom first met Evangeline in February this year. In a day, Evangeline takes 18 capsules of a supplement for her breast cancer. But instead of getting better, her health slowly deteriorated.
In the past few months, the National Bureau of Investigation has conducted raids on several groups who sell unregistered medicines that claim to cure COVID-19.
During the pandemic, healthcare was one of most hardly-hit. Will the sick find the cure that they badly need? Find out in The Atom Araullo Specials’ “Pangakong Lunas” this Sunday at 3:45 p.m., on GMA-7.
