Kidney for Sale. RUSH! Hello. I am a 34 year old male from Manila, Philippines (ASIA). I am selling one of my kidneys to pay for a medical and financial debt. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker. I am NOT into drugs. Im a clean living lifestyle person. Healthy, no operations in the past, no medical condition. Blood type AB+.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE OR SCAM. NEED SERIOUS PEOPLE FOR THIS.
Selling kidneys in the Philippines are very rampant not as kidney donors, but as Kidney Sellers. Filipinos in desperate communities are the common people who patronize this activity. Allegedly, the increasing number of kidney sellers caught the attention of the authorities in the country. The rate’s ranging from Php50,000-120,000 each. The story may sound interesting, but it’s actually an unhealthy decision.
This year, in a recent study of the University of the Philippines, there were 3,000 men and women who had sold their kidneys. Which was found in a slum area in Metro Manila.
Let me share with you this story :
Marlene Maico was only two years old at the time. Then she fell sick. Very sick – with several diseases at the same time. Her life could only be saved if she was treated properly at a hospital.
But I had no money, says the father, 31-year-old Satur Maico. The family lived in a shanty in Bagong Lupa, a large slum area close to the harbor in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines.
Garbage and sewage are floating below the shanties. There is visible damage after a typhoon hit a few months earlier, in which many of the families lost their homes. For many people it is a depressing life. There is no work. At least not every day. And when they get something to do, residents say, pay is a meager 3 to 6 dollars.
In this neighborhood a desparate Maico helplessly watched his daughter on the brink of death. Finally he chose what he considered to be his only alternative: He accepted that one of his two kidneys was removed from the body and transplanted into a man who was willing to pay.
I received 70.000 pesos for my kidney. That is the smallest amount anyone has been paid in this area. But I was desperate and did not have much to negotiate with.
Thus the daughter, who now is six years old, was admitted to hospital. The father could afford the 15.000 pesos fee. And she survived.
Today a long scar at the right side of his body bear witness of Maico’s sacrifice for his daughter. And at least 150 other men have the same scar in this slum area.

Poverty is one of the major problems of selling kidneys in our country. That includes lack of knowledge. If the government would disseminate right information to the people and teach the people how to value their organs, this would at least lessen the increasing number of Filipinos who are selling kidneys.
How can you help the government solve this problem? Are you willing to sell or donate your kidneys?

sadly, this is another face of present-day philippine society. people driven to extreme, selling body parts just to make ends meet. I do not support this though. I think the authorities should crack down on this just like other illegal trades.

The fact na hindi ko pa sure kung ok na ang atay ko, parang hindi ko pa maaatim na ibenta ang kidney ko. If ever I would, I don’t think it would pass the standards of a prospective buyer. I am a smoker, a drinker, and junkfood junkie, hehehe pwede ba yon?

Donate to a family member yes. But never na ibibinta ko to para lang makaahon sandali sa kahirapan. Pero hanga ako sa ginawa ni Satur Maico, ibininta niya kidney niya to save the life of his daughter.
Related to this matter, may mga brutal na pangyayaring nagaganap sa Russia. Maraming mga homeless ang dinudukot at kinakatay at inalisan ng organs like heart, kidney, lungs at retina. Rusyan mafya ang may kagagawan nito, at ang mga organs na nakukuha nila ay ibibinta nila sa labas. Top purchaser is U.S kasunod ang Europe.
Mas masaklap di ba?

I also saw this from a local news, about kidney selling in our country. They said this will be ‘legalized’ by a special organization to minimize the after effect (they fall ill themselves) it usually bring to a donor, and to make sure they get the fair price for it. Also said that this will be done via hospitals that are taking part. I just don’t know if this is already implemented.
If it’s the last resort and my kidney is still okay, I will donate it. I also want them to harvest my organs and put them into good use once I’m gone.
Hi Ambo. Have a good weekend!

Monaco,
One problem on this issue i think is the growing number of recruiters. They find, not donors but sellers of kidneys.

Mommy Beng,
Hanga din naman ako sa ginawa ni Satur. Siempre nga naman, anak mo na ang nasa bingit ng kamatayan. About sa Russia, nakakatakot naman yang balita mo, mas worst nga kasi pinapatay pa nila. At least dito, bayad ka. hehehe

Hi Thess,
According to DOH, “there is nothing illegal in donating kidneys especially if coursed through the government or for as long as it is not being commercialized. If it is for sale, then it is illegal.” They also launched a program called “Buhay Mo, Karugtong Ng Buhay Ko” spearheaded by the National Kidney and Transplant Institute. It’s already up and running.

sadly, that is the state of affairs sa mga dukha sa pinas. ang hirap nang halukayin kung saan nga ba problema; kahirapan, kawalan ng pondo sa kalusugan, kawalan ng trabaho, ewan ko. pero kahit na pagbali-baliktarin ko, laging kasama yung kahirapan. kung pwede nga lang gawing mayaman lahat, kaso mo pag mayaman na lahat, hindi na sila mayaman nun, average na lang.
sana lang i-regulate man lang, ksi kelangan naman nung ibang tao talaga ang kidneys, ngayon kung gusto ibenta nung walang pera, dapat di lang barya-barya, dapat me kakabit ding medical insurance at least para maprotektahan yung nag-donate.
ala ay yun naman po ay akin laang agam-agam.

Buraot,
Tama ka naman dyan sa punto mo kaptid. Kasi naman kaya mababa ang ibinabayad sa mga donors, e yung mga middlemen tulad ng doktor kinukurakot pa. That’s true!

Kidding aside, indi mo rin masisi yung mga taong gumagawa nito. If they only have another option siguro at the times when they needed the money the most, for sure they will not do it. Haayy…herap talagang mageng maherap…(sighs!)

Hello there! Just for my own opinion, I do understand why people selling their kidneys, they merely want to help those who are need for those kidneys…that they want to be God’s instrument in extending once life….its better to think the possotive aspect it will bring to those kidney recipient other than anthing else….money matter in some point would still be an issue….Let just simply say: Tinulungan ka nila, tulungan mo din sila…
In my case now, I am trying my luck by sending this message to anyone of you, if you know of someone who is selling his/her kidney, I am very much willing to buy….please help!
My twin brother is recently diagnos of Chronic Kidney Disease and the only way to cure is by lifetime dialisis or transplant. He needs to undergo twice-a-week dialisis while waiting for a kind hearted person as a kidney donor.

I have two sisters who have been diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease, both of them were undergoing maintenance of dialysis. But unfortunately, one of them developed complications such as water in the lungs, enlargement of the heart, that made her weak and died. To be very honest, we really cannot blame others who buy kidney even though we know its prohibited. If you know that if it’s the only way to make your love ones live longer, you’ll do anything. ThaT’s why I think “LIFE IS GIVE AND TAKE”.
My sister’s blood type is B, and we live in Laguna, those who are willing to help, whether its for free or nor, I will appreciate. Thanks a lot!!!
