What are bleeding disorders?
Bleeding disorders are a group of conditions that result when the blood cannot clot properly. People with bleeding disorders either lacks or has defective proteins called factors that bind together to form clots.
Filinvest Malls kicked off the holiday season with a P50,000 donation to the Hemophilia Advocates-Philippines (HAP). The donation is in support of HAPās efforts to raise awareness for hemophilia and related health causes and is part of the mall's ongoing commitment to giving back to the community.
We are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as non-stock, non-profit organization. Our main objective is to provide immediate assistance to our members who are experiencing life-threatening bleeds.
We receive humanitarian donation of anti-hemophilic Factor concentrates from non-profit organizations abroad and we distribute these for free to patients with life-threatening and limb-threatening bleeds.

Majority of Filipinos with bleeding disorders live below poverty line (Around US$233/month income or less). Many of them either have limited or no access at all to medicines mainly because of poverty and lack of education (or lack of awareness on their condition)
Very few hospitals have the capability to handle patients with bleeding disorders. Hospitals that are properly equipped to treat people with bleeding disorders are mostly based in urban centers like Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao. Worse, they are mostly private hospitals that are not affordable to majority of the patients.
