Good afternoon Ma'am/Sir. The amount we requested was only a running balance for my husband's hospital bills dated October 15, 2021. On October 17, 2021, the patient was declared dead. The final hospital bill is amounting to Php667,096.60. The hospital will not release the death certificate until fully paid. We are not capable of paying this much amount. Please help us, the patient who died is the only one working in the family. We are hopeful that you can extend your financial support. Thank you and God bless...
