00:00Payloader found the passengers of this vehicle in Bangyad, Abra.
00:08They were seen riding a tricycle, dump truck, owner-type jeep, and motorcycle.
00:14Five people were injured and brought to the hospital immediately.
00:17According to the driver of the Payloader,
00:19he was trying to avoid the vehicle so he went to the other lane.
00:23But the police are doubtful about this.
00:25Based on the CCTV video they saw,
00:28the police already held the driver who was about to face a complaint.
00:35The motorcycle he was following was hit by a motorcycle in Talisay, Cebu.
00:40The motorcycle fell to the ground.
00:43The motorcycle tried to turn on the red light.
00:50A nurse of the National Kidney and Transplant Institute, or NKTI,
00:55is the mastermind of the kidney sale in Bulacan.
01:00Even though she is a positive person,
01:02she was recognized by the arrested suspects who also sold their kidneys.
01:07According to the NKTI leader, the nurse lied.
01:12NKTI clarified that she is not a head nurse but a staff nurse
01:17who has been working in the hospital for 23 years.
01:20The NKTI denied that she is assigned to a unit where she has direct access to the patients.
01:26The NBI will also subpoena the three doctors named Dawit
01:31for operating on kidney sellers.
01:34The Department of Health is still waiting for the results of the investigation.
01:43The NKTI denied that their process for the kidney transplant is tight.
01:48In the middle of a kidney sale,
01:50but how hard and expensive is it to get a kidney transplant?
01:55Here is my report.
02:00At the age of 23, Joy's son is already undergoing dialysis.
02:04He is already in stage 5.
02:06His kidney is no longer functioning.
02:09It has been a long time since he had a kidney transplant.
02:12To prolong his life, he needs a kidney transplant.
02:15Joy is ready to become a kidney donor,
02:17but it cannot be done due to complications in his health.
02:20If I were a donor, I would only ask for P200,000.
02:23I'm asking for P600,000.
02:26It's very hard, ma'am.
02:28It's very hard to have money.
02:30We don't have money.
02:33Money and donors are the common problems of those in need of a kidney transplant.
02:38At the National Kidney and Transplant Institute or NKTI,
02:41the transplant costs P1.2 million.
02:44But PhilHealth can pay for half of it.
02:47This is not the end of the problem
02:49because the medicine consumed after the operation costs P30,000 per month.
02:54Kidney transplant is not for everybody
02:57because you have to have medicines.
02:59You have to maintain those medicines for the rest of your life
03:04so that you won't reject the kidney.
03:06NKTI recommends that PhilHealth also pay for the anti-rejection medicine.
03:11But according to NKTI, the most difficult thing to do is to be a donor.
03:15The waiting list of the Human Organ Preservation Effort or HOPE
03:19that a kidney donor is waiting for is on the way.
03:21One of them has been waiting for six years.
03:24This is happening because we don't have enough organs.
03:26Because I don't have many, the list is long.
03:30In the middle of the news of kidney sales, NKTI insisted that their process is strict
03:35and they hope it will be the same in other hospitals.
03:38You cannot just go to them and offer a kidney.
03:43That's not allowed.
03:45The donor and recipient must have an emotional or social relationship.
03:51Both recipient and donor undergo psychiatric evaluation.
03:57We have a Hospital Transplant Ethics Committee.
04:00So there are several members there.
04:03Batikos's wheelchair ramp went viral.
04:07A wheelchair user tried to cross it.
04:11This is my first time, but I will try.
04:19It's hard.
04:21I can't do it.
04:22I really can't do it.
04:24The ramp is located at the new EDSA Busway Film Station in Quezon City.
04:30It's challenging to go down even though someone is holding it.
04:35Architect Armad Eustaquio designed the ramp.
04:39He is one of the pioneers of the first amendment
04:42of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Accessibility Law.
04:47Its incline is at 14.15 degrees,
04:50which exceeds the standard of 4.8 degrees.
04:53But the standards for overpasses and underpasses may not comply.
04:59According to the MMDA, there is a limited space for ramps at the EDSA Busway.
05:05They installed railings so that someone can access it.
