Maligayang kaarawan para sa butihing kinatawan ng ikatlong distrito ng Bataan, Congresswoman Gila Garcia 🎉🎉🎂

Isang mainit na pagbati ng maligayang kaarawan sa kinatawan ng Ikatlong Distrito ng Bataan, Congresswoman Gila Garcia.

Tunay naming hinahangaan ang iyong dedikasyon at walang sawang pagsusumikap para sa kaunlaran ng iyong distrito. Ang pagsusulong mo ng mga programang nakatuon sa edukasyon, kalusugan, kabuhayan at kaunlaran ay patunay ng iyong gilas at puso sa serbisyo.

Nawa’y patuloy kang gabayan ng ating Panginoon, biyayaan nang mabuting kalusugan at mas marami pang taon nang makabuluhang paglilingkod.

A family member needs blood. You rush to the hospital. You call friends to donate. And then the hospital still charges you 1,800 per unit.

Why? It is a valid question, donors don’t earn from the donations but patients pay for it.

Are they profiting off kindness?

🛑 𝗡𝗼. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵:
You’re NOT paying for the blood.
You’re paying for the life-saving process that makes sure that blood won’t affect the person you’re trying to save.

💉 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵:
🔬 Screening tests - HIV, Hepatitis B/C, malaria, syphilis
⚙️ Component separation - red cells, plasma, platelets
🧊 Storage & refrigeration
👩‍⚕️ Staffing - med techs, nurses, logistics, admin

Screening?
To prevent the transmission of blood-transmitted diseases like HIV, Hepatitis and others.

Component separation?
For the use of consumable supplies for the separation of blood products into platelets, red cells, etc.

Storage and Refrigeration?
To maintain the viability of the blood products, because if not kept in certain conditions these blood products may EXPIRE.

Staffing?
All of these procedures required trained and paid professionals we pay for their expertise.

All of these cost money, ensuring that the blood that the patient is receiving is safe for use, because not all blood units are compatible with every patient, two people may have the same blood types but may not be compatible.

Under Republic Act 7719 and DOH AO 2015‑0045, the ₱1,800 cap ensures you’re only paying to recoup costs, not to profit.

✅ Bottom Line

The ₱1,800 you pay isn’t for the blood itself it’s for the safe, regulated process of transforming donated blood into a usable, life-saving medical product.

It covers testing, processing, safe storage, qualified personnel, and quality control, all essential to prevent infections and ensure compatibility.

𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝒃𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒅𝒂𝒚, 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒏 Abet Garcia!

May our good Lord continue to bless you with good health and wisdom in advancing legislations that bring progress to our province and a better life for every Bataeño famiy.

Don't know how to give back for all the blessings you received this Christmas? 🎁🎉💝

Why don't you try to add donating blood 🩸🩸🩸 to your bucket list?

Christmas season is a lean season for all the blood banks as the number of voluntary donors lowers during this season.

Donating blood costs you a little time but gives a lifetime for some.
