From the President
Christmas is a season for giving and
it is said that it is more blessed to
give than to receive. We hope that in
this Christmas season, the spirit of
giving will inspire our past, current
and potential donors to remember
us. In reality, the foundation only
serves as a conduit for gift-giving.
So the more we receive, the more
people we can make happy during
t h i s
s e a s o n .
PGHMFI Project: PGH-Arterial
Blood Gas Unit (ABG)
May I take this opportunity to thank
PGHMFI members, the board of
trustees, the officers and our donors who are always responsible for our success in making PGH a happier and
more comfortable place for
patients to heal.
Dr. Greg Alvior, Jr.
Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to all.

New PGH Arterial Blood Gas Unit
The newly relocated ABG (Arterial Blood Gas) Unit was
inaugurated last December 07, 2012 with no less than the
project donors Mr. Winston Uy and Atty. Arnie Cariño and
attended by PGHMFI President, Dr. Greg T. Alvior with
execom officers, Mme Lolita Mirpuri, Dr. Porong Gana
and Ms Agnes Essem Perez.. Also present were PGH Director, Dr. Jose Gonzales and several doctors from the Pulmonary Section Dept. of Medicine.
The new ABG Unit is now located at the 2nd floor of the
Philippine General Hospital just outside the Central ICU.
This makes it readily accessible to the hospital's 10 intensive care units as well as the outpatients who likewise avail
of its services. The goal of the renovation is to give ABG
Unit a permanent location and likewise help PGH generate
more income. In recent years, patient census of the said
unit has been growing rapidly, outstripping its current capacity to serve more patients. With this relocation and
renovation, the unit is expected to serve more patients and
increase their census even more.
The blessing of the facility was officiated by Rev. Fr.
Vidal Gornez S.J. In her welcome remarks, Pulmonary
Section Head Dr. Bella Siasoco expressed her sincerest
gratitude to PGH Medical Foundation and its donors for
providing ABG Unit a new home. Dr. Jose Gonzales likewise expressed his great appreciation to PGHMFI as well
as its donors for never failing to help PGH in its development efforts. The special affair was capped by a hearty
lunch provided by ABG Laboratory.
