00:00The Business Mentor Talks is vlog by no other, Armando Buts Bartolome, in cooperation with

00:14the Manila Times.

00:15It aims to bring to life and recognize entrepreneurs who constantly strive to create a living for

00:21the community as well.

00:51Good morning, evening, wherever you are.

01:17It's a Sunday.

01:18As you know, on Sundays, we have a regular vlog and this is our purpose, the purpose of the Business Mentor Talks in the Manila Times is to bring information and inspiration as well.

01:36So today, we have a discussion and this is our discussion, health is wealth.

01:44What is the meaning of health for an entrepreneur, or not just for an entrepreneur, but for the whole population.

01:53This is what we call, as you can see, there are many dialysis centers.

01:59Or if you have diabetes, that's another problem.

02:08We will have a young man. I know him from PCCI Quezon City. He's a member of PCCI Quezon City Chamber Chapter.

02:21So let's introduce, no other than the ever-smiling Dr. Rainier Nery Moson. Doc how are you?

02:30Good afternoon. Good afternoon. I can see my hand.

02:34So anyway, how is the health of our country?

02:43Actually, I'm happy with your introduction because I believe that health is wealth.

02:51When we say health, it's not just physical, it also covers emotional and spiritual.

02:59So before this vlog, we talked about diabetes.

03:04But as of now, I hope we can also focus on the emotional side of people.

03:10There's a lot of stress. There's a lot of stress right now.

03:13There's a lot of stress right now and I feel that because of the stress, stress eating,

03:20we always watch a lot of social media, there's a lot of new food, what is being mixed.

03:27So just to share with you, what's really sad right now is that aside from the increasing anxiety levels,

03:34the number of people with anxiety and depression, the number of diabetic people is also increasing.

03:40And what's more worrying is that our cases are decreasing.

03:46That's why we're not surprised that there are a lot of dialysis centers.

03:52We know that previously, last year, the number of sessions covered by PhilHealth was increased.

03:59This month, just this month, they increased even the coverage of the subsidy they are giving to patients.

04:08In every session, there are patients who are undergoing dialysis.

04:12But Doc, I will interrupt you.

04:15The other day, when you said you have diabetes, it's a disease of the rich.

04:21Yes.

04:22Is that true? It's like what you said the other day, I have diabetes and you're rich. Is that true?

04:30Why did we go to that? Is it a myth or is it a reality?

04:35Actually, I was able to reach that when I was young. I only know that the rich have diabetes.

04:40But because of the changes, I think this is because of the digitalization.

04:45People are more exposed to different kinds of food.

04:49And Filipinos, usually, we are very foodie.

04:53We are very curious about what's new. We will taste it.

04:57We will go there.

04:58That's why recently, the food that you see, Unlitabas, Unlitabas, is stressful.

05:07As a doctor, I was stressed.

05:09But because of that, I feel that because of the food that Filipinos are not healthy with,

05:19and it's a lot of food, plus there's no exercise,

05:22because we're just sitting and watching Netflix or whatever we're watching,

05:29it's really the sugar that causes us diabetes.

05:36Now, there's a lot of cheap food, right?

05:40So even if you're not rich, you will really have diabetes, even children.

05:45But why is it like that? Others have a different mindset.

05:49No, when you're young, go ahead and eat all you want while you're young.

05:55Others will say, it doesn't matter, there's medicine.

05:58Or the doctor is there.

06:00My parents also tell me that.

06:02The hardest thing for a patient is actually their parents and relatives

06:06because they always say, that's why I studied to be a doctor.

06:10But as I said, we're not God.

06:13Our body has limits.

06:16So we can eat.

06:18A child can eat.

06:20But all of our bodies have a level of irreversibility.

06:25If there's something that's damaged, our body is good, it can regenerate.

06:30But as we get older, the regenerative capacity of our cells also decreases.

06:38But for a child, if we go back to the question,

06:41even if the child has a high regenerative capacity,

06:45if he reaches the threshold of a certain organ and it gets damaged,

06:49it will really be affected.

06:51So it's not right to just go ahead and eat all you want while you're young.

06:57The best thing when you're young is to start a good habit.

07:00Because that's what you'll get.

07:02Comfort food.

07:04When you're young, you're stressed.

07:06This is what you're eating.

07:07We're chit-chatting.

07:08We're street food.

07:09Until you get older, you'll already have that lifestyle.

07:14So there are cheat days.

07:17Yes.

07:18Whatever they call it, I can hear it.

07:20Well, it's my cheat day today.

07:22There's a problem.

07:23There's a problem.

07:24You also have cheat days in the hospital.

07:26Exactly.

07:29And sir, when they have a cheat day,

07:31it's really a cheat day.

07:33I hope you can just taste the cheat day so you can experience the taste.

07:37Just the palate.

07:39But sometimes, a cheat day is like a bandehado.

07:43It's really bad for your health.

07:45But Doc, that's funny.

07:48Our dialysis centers are increasing.

07:52The other day, I was able to count it with my hands.

07:55Exactly.

07:56Why is it like that?

07:58Even if you travel from north to south, provinces, along the highway,

08:05you will see dialysis centers.

08:10We have a friend who is a mentor.

08:14He wasn't able to have dialysis even once.

08:18He died.

08:20And yet, he's really good.

08:23Life really is important.

08:26So why is dialysis increasing?

08:29Is this a sign that it's a good business,

08:34but it's not as good as you see it as a doctor?

08:39Yes.

08:40I'll share my personality here.

08:44First of all, it's sad that the number of cases is increasing.

08:47Like you said, before, dialysis was only done in hospitals.

08:52Now, hospitals can't do it anymore.

08:55Back then, there was a demand to create stand-alone dialysis centers.

09:03As you can see, every city has it.

09:06But sometimes, aside from dialysis in hospitals and stand-alone dialysis,

09:11it's still not enough.

09:12Because approximately, according to our statistics,

09:1510% of the population is on dialysis.

09:18So think about it, even in Quezon City,

09:21even if there are a lot of dialysis centers, it's still not enough

09:25because the population in Quezon City is so large.

09:28That's why we, I'll just share with you,

09:32our dialysis centers in Quezon have just opened.

09:35Because our first dialysis center located in Viluna,

09:39in Clear Beach Medical Philippines, is already full.

09:42We have a third shift.

09:43We reached there last night.

09:45What? Third shift?

09:47Yes, third shift.

09:49It's like a call center. There's a night shift.

09:53There's a graveyard shift.

09:56But doc, what's really happening with my dialysis?

10:01I'm not on dialysis yet.

10:03I'm not on dialysis.

10:04What's taking so long?

10:07What are you doing?

10:08And where is it?

10:10What is it?

10:11What are you pressing?

10:13Whatever.

10:14So maybe the best thing is that we will start

10:17why we are doing dialysis.

10:19So dialysis is like an automated machine

10:23that is equivalent to the function of our kidneys.

10:26Because our kidneys produce a lot of water.

10:30They also produce toxins.

10:32When they are processed,

10:35we create toxins in the body

10:39that needs to be released.

10:41So what filters those toxins are the liver and kidneys.

10:46So the third function of the kidneys

10:50is to make blood red.

10:52So the function of the dialysis machine

10:59is to extract the excess water.

11:03You can see that some of our patients

11:05who are on dialysis are red.

11:07It's because the kidneys are not working.

11:09They can't urinate.

11:10They can't urinate.

11:11Some of them can urinate but it's not enough.

11:14So what happens is that the water accumulates in the body

11:18and it falls on the part of the feet

11:21because of the gravity.

11:23So we can see that it's red.

11:26Second, the dialysis machine

11:29extracts the toxins in the body.

11:32So now what we do is we inject it in the arteries,

11:37in the blood vessels and veins.

11:41So instead of going through the kidneys,

11:44it will go through the dialysis machine.

11:46So what the dialysis machine will do

11:49is it will suck up the excess water

11:52and then while it passes through the machine,

11:54it will clean it and filter it.

11:56So that's what dialysis is.

11:58So that's why we won't be surprised

12:00that if you don't have dialysis,

12:03it can cause the death of the patient

12:06if you don't have the right dialysis.

12:08Because our kidneys,

12:11it's been working for 24 hours, 365 days.

12:15Dialysis is just 2 to 4 hours

12:19every session that the patient sits in the dialysis chair.

12:25So that's how every shift,

12:27it will clean for 4 hours.

12:29Is it like forever if you have dialysis

12:33or can you still stop

12:37and the dialysis won't continue?

12:39Is there still hope for that?

12:41It depends on the case.

12:42Because there are cases where they only had dialysis temporarily

12:46while they were looking for a kidney transplant.

12:52Because after that,

12:54when they were given a new kidney,

12:56they don't need to have dialysis anymore.

12:59And there are also those who have dialysis

13:01because of acute or sudden reasons

13:06that maybe there was a toxin that needed to be removed

13:11and the kidney wasn't really damaged.

13:13That's also one of the reasons why we do dialysis.

13:16But four of our cases are irreversible.

13:20It's already stage 5 in our dialysis centers.

13:23So if you have dialysis,

13:25that cuts down your activity?

13:28Yes.

13:30Because technically,

13:32if the toxin doesn't come out of the body,

13:35our body is really weak.

13:38Our body is weak.

13:41To be honest,

13:42if our kidneys are not working,

13:45we know that it's connected to the heart

13:49and other parts of our internal organs.

13:53So the quality of life is really affected.

13:56Wow.

13:57So I'm looking at it from the point of view of being an entrepreneur.

14:02If you are an entrepreneur

14:06and everything is tied to you,

14:08the direction,

14:10and you never know when life will collect.

14:14As we say, it will collect behind you.

14:18So this is really going to be affecting the business, right?

14:24Unless the organization of the business is good.

14:27Yes.

14:28Actually,

14:29dialysis is really challenging

14:35because you will be faced by a lot of guidelines and regulations

14:40that you have to follow.

14:41You can't just build a dialysis

14:44because it's like you're just going to permit it.

14:47No.

14:48So you'll ask for permission to construct first from DOH.

14:52You will show your design because they have a guideline there.

14:55But before you actually put up a design,

14:58you need to check for a location.

15:00So DOH will ask you about the feasibility study of the location.

15:05And then they will be asking you.

15:09Because it's not good from a business perspective side

15:14that you're just looking for a location

15:16and you're not going to study how many populations are there,

15:19how many dialysis are there.

15:21But Doc,

15:22are we really regulating those dialysis centers?

15:28Because later on,

15:30you won't be able to say that the fly-by-night should not be allowed.

15:35Is there such a thing?

15:36Or will the Department of Health really monitor that?

15:39So actually,

15:40just to share with you,

15:42they're very, very strict.

15:44DOH has been doing a very good job in monitoring.

15:49Sometimes you'll be surprised

15:50that there's a DOH officer who will check.

15:54A surprise inspection.

15:56And they usually do it once a year.

16:00Sometimes,

16:01there are officers who will check

16:04if you're following the regulations that you've read

16:08and if what you've read is true.

16:10So DOH is really strict on that.

16:13Yes, because there's a subsidy from the government.

16:16Correct, there's a subsidy from the government.

16:18But if you're going to build a dialysis center,

16:21you're going to go through a lot of hurdles.

16:24But the effect on the entrepreneur,

16:26if he's affected by dialysis,

16:29his business will be affected, right?

16:32Yes.

16:33That's the hard part.

16:35We know that if we're an entrepreneur,

16:39our body, mind, and soul need to be aligned.

16:43If one of them is injured, it's very difficult.

16:46Even if it's just a typical increase in BP,

16:50or if it's painful,

16:52or if it's a bad feeling,

16:54it's very difficult to decide.

16:56Our intellectual part is affected, right?

17:02That's why I always tell my mentors,

17:07young entrepreneurs,

17:09you have to balance your body, mind, and soul.

17:11That's why I always tell them,

17:13we run to UP.

17:14We have a running session every Wednesday.

17:17Very good.

17:19We have a coach to train us

17:25to also maintain the physical.

17:27Because I really believe,

17:29like I shared with you,

17:31Sir Butz,

17:32I'm also a life coach,

17:34and I believe in alignment.

17:36Because if you get that alignment,

17:39and you enjoy your life,

17:41where will the money go?

17:43Because you're pursuing your purpose.

17:45But you cannot pursue your purpose

17:47if your physical body cannot keep up.

17:50So we really need to be healthy.

17:53That's why I'm pursuing it now.

17:55Not just entrepreneurs,

17:57I mean everybody,

17:58whether you're a celebrity,

18:00regardless,

18:02especially if you're a teacher.

18:04If you're a teacher,

18:07imagine if your income stream

18:09is dependent on you,

18:12and your spouse or family

18:14is dependent on you,

18:16and you're an OFW,

18:18you're overseas,

18:20and you're neglecting your health,

18:22even if you say you have medical benefits,

18:25you might go home,

18:27and the business will be shut down.

18:29I mean,

18:30everything is connected.

18:32Everything is connected.

18:34There's no remedy

18:36if there's no discipline.

18:38But this diabetes,

18:40it's still the same.

18:42We have so many businesses

18:44that I see now,

18:46sugar-free,

18:48sugar-free ice cream,

18:50sugar-free cake.

18:52I'm surprised

18:54that cakes are sugar-free.

18:56Now,

18:58plant-based sugars are increasing.

19:01Why?

19:03What are the kids

19:05who already have diabetes?

19:07As early as, what,

19:0910 years old,

19:10they already have diabetes?

19:12Maybe it's for those who already have diabetes.

19:14But now, I've seen

19:16that their sugar levels are high,

19:18they're only in their 20s.

19:20Our 20s,

19:22we know that our metabolism

19:24and our activities

19:26are prime years.

19:30For me,

19:31my interpretation is that

19:33there's a lot of intake of sugar.

19:35Because we're not against

19:37our colleagues

19:39who have

19:41milk tea business and all.

19:43Because at the end of the day,

19:45it's the person who will decide.

19:47You can drink a lot of milk tea,

19:49but you have to be responsible

19:51to your body.

19:53You have to exercise

19:55the calories you intake.

19:57There are percentages of sugar.

19:59They can do 10%, 20%.

20:01But the important thing

20:03is that diabetes is scary.

20:05How many stages

20:07of diabetes?

20:09Yes.

20:11Actually,

20:13if you know that you have diabetes,

20:15type 1 or type 2,

20:17you should be careful.

20:19Because even type 2,

20:21it can pass to your child.

20:23For example,

20:25type 1,

20:27we know that it's genetics.

20:29We have a problem

20:31with our

20:33auto-antibodies.

20:35We have a part of our body

20:37that doesn't recognize the cells.

20:39It destroys the cells of the pancreas

20:41that create insulin.

20:43Insulin is very important

20:45for sugar regulation.

20:47We know that type 1 is genetic.

20:49For type 2,

20:51we have data that

20:53we don't have in our family

20:55and we get sick

20:57when it comes to our sugar intake.

20:59We have less physical activity.

21:01In short, we have diabetes

21:03and we get pregnant.

21:05In short,

21:07we get pregnant

21:09because

21:11our number one factor

21:13is food.

21:15Our number two factor

21:17is

21:19physical activity.

21:21The third factor

21:23that we need to focus on is stress.

21:25Stress.

21:27Stress is

21:29almost 24 hours

21:317 days a week.

21:33We live with stress.

21:35You get stressed

21:37when you read

21:39the news

21:41or watch 6 o'clock news

21:43or watch

21:45fake news on Tiktok.

21:47Correct.

21:49It's stressful.

21:51Or when you watch Marites.

21:53It's stressful, right?

21:55You know, Sir Butch,

21:57what technique did I use?

21:59I let go of the negative

22:01things.

22:03For example,

22:05there are Filipino people

22:07who want to fight.

22:09I let go of that.

22:11I don't watch it

22:13because I know my body wants it.

22:15Filipino culture

22:17wants you to be updated.

22:19But I said that

22:21nothing will help me.

22:23Sir Butch,

22:25when you're stressed,

22:27we release cortisol.

22:29This causes

22:31bad sugar levels in our body.

22:33Plus, our blood pressure rises.

22:35It spikes.

22:37He thought it was stress.

22:39He thought there was a threat.

22:41What he'll do is he'll release

22:43the stored sugar from the blood.

22:45The sugar level in our blood will rise.

22:47That's the effect.

22:49That's the first effect.

22:51The second effect is the blood pressure rises.

22:53The third effect is to eat

22:55comfort food.

22:57That's the third effect.

22:59That's the effect.

23:01You'll eat chocolate.

23:03You'll drink

23:05a liter of soft drink.

23:07I'm guilty of chocolate.

23:11I'm guilty of chocolate.

23:13You'll be munching.

23:15But again, it's scary.

23:17Sometimes, I see people

23:19whose wounds don't heal.

23:23What's happening?

23:25Some have amputations.

23:27Yes, sir.

23:29We have a lot of stages

23:31of wounds

23:33related to diabetes

23:35related to feet.

23:37What we'll look at

23:39is the sugar.

23:41It destroys our blood vessels.

23:43You can see

23:45the blood vessels and roots.

23:47You can see on the feet,

23:49the wounds heal quickly.

23:51I don't feel

23:53because the roots are damaged.

23:55That's what's happening.

23:57The simple scratch

23:59is because there are no roots

24:01that supply nutrients.

24:03There are no blood vessels that supply nutrients.

24:05The blood doesn't reach

24:07the wound

24:09that's important

24:11to close the wound.

24:13The wound gets bigger.

24:15It's neglected.

24:17Just to share with you,

24:19we have a partnership

24:21with doctors.

24:23We also distribute

24:25skin support

24:27that is applied

24:29around the wound

24:31and to the wound

24:33of our specialists.

24:35This is stem cell-based.

24:37It stimulates

24:39exosomes

24:41in healthy cells

24:43so that they can build

24:45more cells and close the wound.

24:47It helps.

24:49Correct.

24:51We have antibiotics.

24:53Antibiotics are also important.

24:55First in the Philippines,

24:57just approved by FDA

24:59last March,

25:01this Solagen cream

25:03and gel is applied

25:05around the wound.

25:07This is not only for

25:09diabetics,

25:11but also for bed ulcers,

25:13bed sores,

25:15and even for wounds

25:17We have cases

25:19where the wound

25:21heals faster.

25:25So there are technologies

25:27and advancements

25:29that are really helping

25:31in solving the health issues.

25:33Correct.

25:35Even for diabetes,

25:37we have a lot of medicines.

25:39There are still

25:41reversible diabetes.

25:43I have cases

25:45where people

25:47have diabetes

25:49because of

25:51yearly check-ups.

25:53It can be captured immediately.

25:57After the threshold,

25:59we take hemoglobin A1c

26:01and fasting blood sugar.

26:03Those are the two

26:05we use to diagnose diabetes.

26:07If it exceeds the normal threshold,

26:09we start

26:11taking medicine.

26:13I have cases

26:15where they reversed

26:17their diet.

26:19They reduced

26:21weight through exercise

26:23and proper diet.

26:25So there is discipline.

26:27In other words,

26:29a doctor can only

26:31do so much.

26:33It's actually the patient

26:35or the person

26:37who should be the one to discipline.

26:39Correct.

26:41Even if your parents

26:43or your family told you

26:45to take medicine,

26:47you won't be a miracle.

26:49We are responsible for our own body,

26:51right, sir?

26:53We should be the one who knows our body better.

26:55We should take care of our body.

26:57Doc,

26:59it's very challenging for you

27:01because you live by example.

27:03I'm sure you have

27:05colleagues that

27:07you are only becoming

27:09you're a doctor,

27:11but you also have to live by example.

27:13Practice what you preach.

27:15Yes. I'm just enjoying it

27:17because since I love

27:19traveling, I want my 60-year-old self

27:21to thank my current self

27:23because my goal

27:25is to run

27:27and do other things.

27:29I'm also an athlete in Spartan

27:31Obstacle Race.

27:33My goal is

27:35by 60 years old,

27:37I can still go to

27:39many places

27:41because I can still walk

27:43and I can still walk

27:45because I'm still healthy.

27:47Enjoy life,

27:49not life giving you

27:51the hardship.

27:55There are a lot of things

27:57that we can read.

27:59There are a lot of right ways

28:01on YouTube

28:03that can motivate you.

28:05At the end of the day,

28:07it's up to us

28:09how we take things lightly.

28:11Kids and people today are very lucky

28:13because everything is available online.

28:15You're right.

28:17That's why I was sharing earlier

28:19instead of the chaos

28:21that you see,

28:23why not YouTube meditation

28:25and inspirational videos?

28:27That's what I'm doing.

28:29Surround yourself

28:31with positive people.

28:33That's why I'm sticking

28:35to you, sir.

28:37You're my idol.

28:39If you're

28:41idolizing someone,

28:43let's stick to them.

28:45Sometimes, when people

28:47around you are negative,

28:49it's good for me

28:51because I know

28:53what I'm saying.

28:55You're mimicking

28:57what's around you.

28:59Yes, I'm absorbed.

29:01You're absorbed.

29:03You'll catch yourself

29:05and say,

29:07wow, that's his habit.

29:09Let's face it.

29:11It's not only our mind.

29:13It's also subliminal.

29:15Correct.

29:17It's subconscious.

29:19There's no right and wrong.

29:21It's subconscious.

29:23It's absorbed.

29:25That's when you'll catch yourself

29:27mimicking.

29:29Mimic the person

29:31you like.

29:35Anyway,

29:39what are the three things

29:41aside from moderation

29:43or people who want to be in business?

29:45You're a doctor

29:47and an entrepreneur.

29:49What should

29:51be a good

29:53perspective

29:55for a person

29:57who wants to start a business?

29:59What are the three takeaways?

30:01For me,

30:03first, pursue your passion.

30:05My passion has always been about

30:07leadership.

30:09My passion is all about medical leadership.

30:11Why not medical leadership?

30:13Let's join management.

30:15I believe that

30:17if you pursue your passion,

30:19for me, passion is

30:21not an issue.

30:23You will be doing that thing 24 hours.

30:25I did pursue that.

30:27Number two take,

30:29if you pursue your passion,

30:31money will

30:33follow.

30:35Third is

30:37love your people.

30:39No matter who

30:41your execs or

30:43guards are,

30:45no matter

30:47their position in the organization,

30:49you have to

30:51serve them as

30:53the CEO.

30:55I didn't share with you

30:57that I was promoted from chief medical

30:59director to the CEO

31:01president.

31:03Congratulations!

31:05Our position

31:07is about not just

31:09making money but also serving

31:11the people who serve the client

31:13or the people that

31:15we target.

31:17For me,

31:19at the end of the day, the best investment is

31:21all about relationship.

31:23Relationship with our people.

31:25If our people

31:27feel that they

31:29are being taken

31:31well,

31:33our clients will take care of them.

31:35That's my motivation.

31:37Pursue your passion,

31:39money comes after.

31:41Third is take care of your people.

31:43For me, that's

31:45what aligns me.

31:47Why am I still not stressed?

31:49They say I still look like a kid.

31:51I'll be 40 soon.

31:53No joke. You're really 40?

31:55I thought you're only 25.

31:59But thank you.

32:01I know you've been

32:03bodybuilding.

32:05I saw your transformation

32:07last year.

32:09Before the pandemic.

32:11Before the pandemic,

32:13we were 30.

32:15You really transformed.

32:17Before the pandemic.

32:19You really did bodybuilding.

32:21Now, you have abs.

32:25I'm embarrassed. You saw my posts.

32:29That's for people to be inspired.

32:33It's not for self-grandeur.

32:35You're just

32:37setting an example.

32:39Yes, that's really it. Inspiration.

32:41Anyway, Doc,

32:43keep healthy living.

32:45Please spread the word around

32:47about all this.

32:51The idea there is

32:53how do you strike a balance?

32:55I hope the Dialysis Center is small.

32:57It's also good in a way

32:59that our people

33:01become health conscious.

33:03Again, dialysis is already there.

33:07What's the average?

33:09I was just thinking,

33:11how much does it cost

33:13for a treatment?

33:15For each session,

33:17they charge P4,000.

33:19P4,000?

33:21Yes, P4,000.

33:23What's the out-of-pocket of the patient?

33:25For now, they don't allow

33:27P4,000.

33:29They increased it from P2,600 to P4,000.

33:31They don't allow coffee

33:33or patients who need extra.

33:35And

33:37when you go to a Dialysis Center

33:39like Clear Bridge,

33:43can I go to others?

33:45Actually,

33:47you can move

33:49or other patients.

33:51Maybe they can see our

33:53Quezon Ab branch. It's really good.

33:55They already moved to us.

33:57You should send me a picture

33:59so we can insert it here.

34:01You can.

34:03We receive

34:05certain referral papers

34:07from the current

34:09Dialysis Center.

34:11So whoever they move to,

34:13they know the set-up

34:15for the machines.

34:17There's a set-up for the machines.

34:19So if I'm a Dialysis patient

34:21and I want to go on vacation

34:23in Japan,

34:25what should I do?

34:27We coordinate

34:29with Dialysis Centers in other countries.

34:31We give them a paper.

34:33But most of the time,

34:35patients

34:37from the US, Canada,

34:39they go to our Dialysis Centers

34:41because they're

34:43on vacation in the Philippines.

34:45So far, we haven't seen

34:47from our end

34:49that they're on vacation in other countries.

34:51But if that will happen,

34:53of course, it's up to the Dialysis Centers

34:55to find a transient

34:57dialysis

34:59for our patients.

35:01Wow!

35:03Aside from passport and visa,

35:05you still have an arrangement

35:07for your dialysis.

35:09Yes, exactly.

35:11Because your experience

35:13is only one time

35:15that you didn't have a dialysis.

35:17He just missed it.

35:19Yes.

35:21So the best thing is to prevent

35:23so we can go

35:25to the places we want to go.

35:27Let's be healthy.

35:29Not just healthy physically,

35:31but mind and soul.

35:33Let's include

35:35financially healthy.

35:37Exactly.

35:39If you're not financially healthy,

35:41that's stress.

35:43Or let's say,

35:45you can't pay your debts,

35:47that's also stress.

35:49That's the problem.

35:51Always keep

35:53a good healthy mindset.

35:55Doc, thank you very much.

35:57Thank you very much for having me.

35:59It's a breath of what's happening.

36:01Again,

36:03we hope that we have imparted

36:05a lot of insights of Doc

36:07to our viewers.

36:09I hope that

36:11we can remember our health.

36:13If you're an entrepreneur,

36:15it's hard to get sick.

36:17It's like the captain of the ship.

36:19You just saw

36:21the captain of the ship

36:23lying down.

36:25What will his crew say to you?

36:27Captain, where do we go?

36:29I'm sorry, do not disturb.

36:33Doc, thank you very much.

36:35Keep in touch.

36:37We hope that

36:39you have more branches

36:41and send us

36:43your pictures so we can

36:45visit you there.

36:47Also, thank you to PCCI
