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.
