ACTRESS Iza Calzado, shared on Friday that she has donated blood in the hope of helping other patients recover.
On Instagram, Calzado shared a photo of her holding the bag of blood she had donated at the Philippine General Hospital.
The successful donation came after “failing several tests to be an eligible plasma donor for COVID-19 because of low hemoglobin levels,” she said.
Calzado was cleared to donate last Tuesday.
“I never knew that giving my blood would be such an emotional moment for me. Perhaps it’s because, as a COVID-19 survivor, I truly felt that this was one of the most powerful ways I could help my fellow Filipinos during this time,” she wrote.
“As the doctor played ‘Bayan Ko’ my tears and my blood flowed. It gave me so much hope to think that maybe I could help restore someone’s health and that, through our collective efforts, we can restore our country’s well being and make it better. Love and Light!” she added.(ABS-CBN)
