“Kinuha ko agad yung baby. Chineck ko kung may difficulty siya, suddenly umiyak which means okay yung respiration niya,” recounted Turallo.

Knowing that maintaining a good temperature is essential after birth, Turallo swaddled the newborn to keep her warm. “Binalot ko na siya. Yung available na t-shirt ni ma’am tapos humingi pa ako ng isang lampin para mas mainit,” he said. “And then pinatong ko sa kanya bilang first bonding nilang magnanay.”

Regina’s live-in partner, Carlito Habalita, revealed that she had been experiencing stomach pains for two days.

“Noong kukuhanin ko na yung pera namin, e yun. Pagbalik namin nanganak na siya,” he told GMA.

In the brief interview, he took the time to thank the fire fighters who came to his partner’s aid.

“Maraming salamat sa kanila dahil tinulungan nila kami… Lagi naman ‘yan silang ready tumutulong, Habalita said.
