Just today, a friend from Philippine National Red Cross, Pasig Pateros Branch Rizal Chapter, visited our office headed by Mr. Von Ryan Ong, the Branch Administrator and Ms. Cheka Lontabo the Community Health Nurse, to enlighten us about the insurance policy we availed.

Aside from the Insurance Policy, they also conducted a blood typing to us amounting to Php 60.00/person. I've learned lot of things like how will I know/identify the blood type of a person. They teach me how....:)
Below are the liquid tester they mix to our blood sample to identify what is our blood type. The Blue one is for the blood type A, the yellow one is for blood type B.
This one is the RH totem to identify if you have a positive (+) or negative (-) blood type.
Let the test begin. I will provide you pictures with different blood type starting from type A.

Type B
and the type O
Can you see the difference? The blood type will be identified once you put a drop of the three liquids totem to the blood samples. Once your blood react to the blue color you're Type A, if in Yellow then you're Type B. If there's no reaction to both then you're Type O. The RH totem will identify if you're a (+) or (-). And according to them only 1% of the Filipinos' have a negative (-) type of blood. That means we are all positive. :D
IMPORTANT: Use only disposable needles to avoid transfer of diseases.
They gave us cards according to blood type. Blue for type A, Yellow for type B, White for type O and Pink for the type AB, which is the very rare type of blood.
FYI...I've asked them how to know the blood type of our child to be and they give me this combination. If the parents' blood type are B and B, their children may possibly have blood type O or B. If type A and O, their children will possibly have blood type A or B and so fort. :) Since my blood type is O and hubby is B, our offsprings may possibly have type O and or type B blood.
If both have blood type A, offsprings may have blood type A, AB and or B.
Another info, they also said that you can detect if a person has a blood infection thru CBC. The higher the white bloodcells' count, the higher the possibility of that person to have a blood infection. Coz white blood cells are our bodies soldier, they increase in number once we are infected.
I've learned a lot today....Hope to learn more!
