to discharge her daughter from Gallares Hospital after nine days of admission due to a broken leg.

   

The elder Cullamat, who even hardly fends for a living, got weary over the P19,000 hospital bill. But a call or two by anchorman Chito Vissara relieved the apprehensive mother.

Following the call a discount stashed the bill, courtesy of the hospital's social worker.

By the second call the rest of the bill was shouldered, courtesy of Provincial Administrator Tommy Abapo Jr.

As the mother came back to the station to give thanks via the Tagbilaran-by-Night program, an anonymous caller announced to donate crutches for the young Cullamat.
