Organ donors eye top spot in Guinness

SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union: The Philippines is making a bid in the Guinness World Record book as the nation with the “most number of people to sign up as organ donor” in simultaneous registration activities in six different sites in the country on February 28.

Dr. Antonio Paraiso, program manager of the Philippine Organ Donation and Transplantation Program (PODTP), said in a forum at the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) office here on Wednesday that the activity is not only intended to set a world record but also to increase awareness on organ donation.
