Clinic ni Kuya (Big Brother’s Clinic)

The UNTV building is not a hospital. But with the Clinic ni Kuya (Big Brother’s Clinic), it might very well be. On weekdays, what welcomes the network’s visitors are the long lines of patients, waiting for their turn to get a medical checkup, complete with medicine, for free. This is all, of course, thanks to God who made it all possible and to the people He uses like Kuya Daniel Razon and UNTV. And since it is genuine public service at its best, KFI is in full support of it.
