🥰Your child feels SAFE when surrounded by a strong family unit.

That's created by your positive and kind words.
The interactions, attention and time that you spend with them.
And the memories they form around childhood memories.

🫂Even brief moments spent together, whether you have 10 minutes or more, gives your child the undivided attention that matters to behavior and emotional wellbeing.

😡Filling your child’s Emotional and Connection cup is a daily need that every child has. When feeling disconnected they often start misbehaving as one way to express this need. Negative behavior could be a sign your child needs more attention and connection.

📌Here are the main ways to grow connection:
🔹 Play together
🔹 Go on adventures and dates
🔹 Show/tell your unconditional love
🔹Accomplish something together
🔹Do what brings them joy together

😓It just as important to be aware of what leaves your child feeling DISCONNECTED. There will always be ups and downs in life and children will survive them but how well they do so is based on their support system.

👎Things that make a child feel disconnected:
🔹 Overcriticism and being overly strict
🔹 Being rejected often (always busy or not paying attention)
🔹 Feeling lonely
🔹 Yelling + punishment, instead of teaching and guiding
🔹 Lack of family traditions/experiences

😊When your family feels connected you’ll find them to be mostly happy and content. You’ll find that kids are less anxious and less likely to be fighting as often. What your child needs most from you doesn’t cost any money. What they need most is your unconditional love, your time and to connect with you daily. That bond becomes the model they follow for their future family as well. ❤️

Wound washing saves lives!

If bitten by a dog 🐶, always seek immediate medical advice.

The wound must be immediately and thoroughly washed for at least 15 minutes with soap and water. Then visit a clinic, as you may need post-exposure vaccination!

🩸 “𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝘿𝙤 𝙒𝙚 𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙋𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝘿𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚?” 🩸

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.
