(L-R) PIA 9 Assistant Regional Director Franklin P. Gumapon, kidney patient Rufu Paitan, his wife, Radyo Natin Anchor Mary Grace Parilla, and Dr. Michael Abutazil were chitchatting outside the announcer's booth after Dr. Abutazil's formal interview about the importance of kidney.

Dr. Abutazil, a Nephrologist, said that to avoid kidney diseases one must avoid salty foods, those high in uric acid like sardines, nuts, and oily foods during his radio guesting at Radyo Natin, Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte. (maa)

In celebration with the Kidney Month, last June 25 this year the Phil. Information Agency of Region IX organized a radio guesting with Dr. Michael Abutazil, a Nephrologist from Zamboanga City to talk about matters relating to kidney at Radyo Natin, Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte.

Rufu Paitan was the first successful kidney transplant patient who was operated in Zamboanga City last 2011. (maa)
