00:00Good morning, Kapuso!

00:02Good morning!

00:03We're going to talk about donating blood.

00:07It's very important.

00:09Because that donation literally means life.

00:14But what should we remember when we're donating blood?

00:19Is everything allowed?

00:20Yes, that's what we're going to find out in the UH Clinic

00:23with the Secretary General of the Philippine Red Cross, Dr. Gwendolyn Tang.

00:27Good morning, Ma'am Gwen!

00:29Good morning, Egan, and good morning, Ms. Susan,

00:32and to all our viewers.

00:34Doc, if we're donating blood, what are the benefits to our body?

00:39There are many benefits.

00:41First of all, when you donate blood,

00:43automatically, our bone marrow will produce new red blood cells.

00:47It replenishes the blood in our body before the blood flows to our body.

00:52It means that we'll be healthier and our health will be better.

00:58Not only that, I think the best benefit is the feeling of helping other people,

01:06especially to those you don't know.

01:08You're giving life.

01:10You're giving life.

01:12That's what's most important.

01:14Gwen, who can donate blood?

01:16Can all of us?

01:17Can all of us?

01:20Well, those who can donate blood are healthy individuals.

01:24We need to be healthy.

01:26Only healthy individuals can give blood.

01:28So if you can donate blood, it means you're healthy.

01:30It means that you need to weigh exactly.

01:33Our weight requirement is 50 kilograms or 110 pounds.

01:38Then you need to be able to sleep well for at least 5 hours.

01:42Can we?

01:43And you didn't drink the night before.

01:46I didn't drink.

01:47Within 24 hours, I didn't drink alcohol.

01:49And then it's easy.

01:50You can come and give blood even if it's just a little breakfast.

01:53Don't eat too much oil.

01:55Don't eat too much fat.

01:56But first, can we give blood to those who have tattoos?

01:58Those who have tattoos, you can.

02:00If it's a new tattoo, a new ear piercing, or a new birth,

02:03you need to wait for 1 year.

02:051 year.

02:06So it's okay.

02:07Doc, can you show us how to get blood?

02:11Those who have hypertension or diabetes,

02:15they can still donate blood.

02:17Provided the blood pressure and diabetes is controlled that day.

02:21And not only that, we have a doctor to check us up.

02:25And most importantly, it's not painful.

02:27Yes, it's not painful.

02:29Red Cross and Allen leaders are sharpshooters.

02:32Susan will show us how to do it.

02:35So number 1, we need to weigh exactly.

02:3950 kilograms or 110 pounds.

02:42After that, we sign the questionnaire.

02:46After that, we go to our blood typing.

02:49And then our hemoglobin check.

02:51Oh, she's donating blood.

02:53Then, we check up with the doctor.

02:55So after check-up, it's free.

02:57Free check-up.

02:59So after that, we go to the doctor.

03:02We go here.

03:03We do blood donation.

03:04Okay.

03:05Many medical technologists are very good at sharpshooters.

03:11So it's a bit painful, but not too much.

03:14I noticed while donating, why does it look like it's dancing?

03:19We have a blood mixer here.

03:21We mix the blood and weigh it.

03:26The weight we get from the blood is 672 grams.

03:34So it's exact.

03:36And then our fluid is 450 ml.

03:39It comes with a blood bag when we weigh it.

03:42It's just 5 to 10 minutes.

03:43It's very easy.

03:44You can save your life.

03:46How long before you can donate blood?

03:52Well, every 3 months, you can give blood.

03:55This is our method.

03:57There's also atheresis method.

03:58Atheresis.

03:59This is the hot spot of Quezon City and other areas in Visayas.

04:03You really need blood.

04:04We also have platelets.

04:06We have a special machine that we use.

04:08We can only get platelets.

04:10Every 2 weeks, you can come and give blood.

04:12This is every 3 months.

04:14Thank you, Doc.

04:15Thank you, Doc.

04:16Ma'am Gwen, let's invite them.

04:18I think there's going to be a blood donation.

04:20Yes, because it's Aunt Mel Cianco's birthday.

04:22Happy birthday, Aunt!

04:24On Saturday, August 17, we'll meet at Evermalls.

04:31Here in the Commonwealth, we'll start at 7 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon.

04:38Just go to Evergotesco Mall on August 17.

04:42Aunt Mel is there.

04:43It's a gift of life.

04:44That's right.

04:45It's from the heart.

04:46We've been here for 28 years.

04:48The Philippine Red Cross is happy.

04:50It's held twice a year, every February and August.

04:56There's free food.

04:58There are freebies for successful blood donors.

05:02Good morning, Galloners!

05:03We have concerts there.

05:07There are performances from GMA Sparkle Artists.

05:11Can you do it?

05:12Of course!

05:13Let's support them and donate blood to the Bloodletting Project of Kapuso Foundation.

05:21Ma'am Gwen, thank you!

05:22Thank you!

05:23And of course, to the Philippine National Red Cross.

05:27Thank you so much!

05:28On Saturday, August 17, we'll meet at Evergotesco Mall.

05:30Let's go to Susan.

05:31She's going to donate blood.

05:33Do you want us to go there?

05:35I'll bring the heroine.
