Hemophilia Advocates Philippines
Hemophilia Advocates Philippines started on September 17, 2016 and officially registered as a non-profit organization two months later on November 15, 2016
We are a national organization of persons with hemophilia and related bleeding disorders, family members and advocates.
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.
From Adversity to Triumph
"As a woman with hemophilia and a mother of two boys with the same bleeding disorder, HAP not only taught us how to handle our bleedings but they empowered us to live better lives. Through HAP’s support and partnerships with Save One Life and Virtualahan, we’ve also gained opportunities to enhance our skills, have multiple streams of income and live in financial freedom."
— Jane Agoncillio (Save One Life Micro-Enterprise Grant recipient and Virtualahan Scholar)
HAP focuses mainly in providing immediate assistance to patients in terms of accessing factor concentrates and blood products, providing advice on first aid, doctor referral, accessing government assistance (e.g. Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, local government officials, etc.) and providing psycho-social support such as hospital visitations, counseling and meet-ups.
Our Mission
Serve and advocate for Filipinos with hemophilia and bleeding disorders
Our Vision
Equal Treatment For All!
Regardless of economic status, type of bleeding disorder, organizational affiliation and location.
