Hi B.,

Thank you for the letter.

The Love Fund is a channel wherein people can donate money for the benefit of the indigent  HIV/AIDS patients of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM)-AIDS Research Group (ARG). The Love Fund just started with just me donating to ARG through Dr. Rossana Ditangco, the head of RITM-ARG. She then opened a bank account for it under her name which is monitored by the entire staff of the clinic. Ms. Maram Bartolome is the one monitoring the donations and is one of the nurses who heads the screening of patients who are assisted by The Love Fund.

The purpose of the Love Fund is to help for the care of the indigent HIV patients in RITM-ARG who can’t afford medical treatment. Assistance is focused on treatment of opportunistic infections, assistance with laboratory tests and bedside needs of patients. Patients are carefully screened by the staff of RITM-ARG with the approval of Dr. Ditangco and given assistance based on the need and the patient’s resources. Here in the Philippines there are no other organization that financially assist with the medical care of the HIV/AIDS patients and that is the main purpose why The Love Fund has been put up.

In my blog, I give a monthly update on the beneficiaries of the Fund so everybody who had donated can see that their money is helping out the indigent HIV/AIDS from the Philippines.

You and your friends can deposit your cash donations to:


           Banco de Oro  (BDO) Savings Account Number: 1420060188
            Account Name: Rossana A Ditangco

If you are outside the Philippines, you can ask any bank there on how to transfer funds to BDO in the Philippines. I know there is a way.


Please let me know if you have other concerns. Your email is so heartwarming and I am so grateful that my blog has reached you.

Thank you so much, in behalf of the HIV/AIDS patients here in the Philippines.
