Dubai/Abu Dhabi: A 37-year-old Filipino expat has expressed his gratitude to the UAE after receiving a new lease on life following a double lung transplant.
Alex Salgo Tugon and his sister Ana May have been working hard to support their parents and four siblings back home in the Philippines. A supervisor with a pest control company, Tugon believes his immune system had gone weak because of his lifestyle, and his habit of smoking cigarette and vaping worsened his health.
