I asked why, because the first time they called, I didn't ask why....I asked why but they said basta. The second time, they told me the reason why I should go," Solano said, adding that he was informed someone collapsed inside their library.Solano, a registered medical technologist, said he checked Castillo's pulse and vital signs.
