UP-PGH PERFORMS FIRST SUCCESSFUL PEDIATRIC LIVER TRANSPLANT IN GOV’T HOSPITAL
The UP-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) has successfully performed its first pediatric liver transplant in a government hospital, according to UP-PGH. The procedure saved a nine-year-old boy diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare condition in infants in which the bile ducts become scarred and blocked, preventing bile from draining into the intestine and causing progressive liver damage.
Hospital officials said the surgery followed the standard stepwise treatment approach, early diagnosis, the Kasai procedure to restore bile flow, and when liver disease progresses despite surgery, liver transplantation as the definitive life-saving option. They added that pediatric liver transplants in government hospitals are rare due to the complexity, need for specialized medical teams, and high costs.
Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko” Domagoso reportedly helped fund the procedure, pooling resources from private companies, philanthropists, and his personal funds. The mayor visited the patient on November 18, where he was received by UP Manila Chancellor Dr. Michael Tee and UP-PGH Director Gerardo Legaspi.
“This is a milestone for public healthcare in the Philippines and demonstrates that world-class procedures can be performed in government hospitals,” Legaspi said, emphasizing the hospital’s commitment to making advanced treatments more accessible to Filipino children.
According to UP-PGH, the hospital is now preparing to expand its pediatric transplant program, with plans to perform more life-saving surgeries for children with liver diseases in the coming years.

'ANIM NA BUWAN NA PO KAMING LUBOG SA BAHA'
A dedicated teacher from Calumpit, Bulacan is appealing for help as her community remains submerged in floodwaters for nearly six months.
In an exclusive interview with The STAR, Teacher Lorlita detailed her daily struggle due to the flooding around their area.
"Kailangan ko pong sumakay sa salbabida [na] hinihila po ng aking asawa patungo po sa kalsada... Kailangan ko po sumakay ng bangka para ako naman po ay makarating sa dike kung saan naman po nandoon ang tricycle na aking pwedeng masakyan," she said.
Despite the situation, she continues to wade through floodwaters every day to reach her school and teach her students.
"Anim na buwan na po kaming lubog. Kung sinoman po ang may kakayanan na kami po ay matulungan, financially o kahit po kaunting grocery, ay malugod po namin itong tatanggapin," she said.
