MANILA, Philippines – Over a month after the loss of one of her twins, Saab Magalona donated 100 bags of her breast milk to the Human Milk Bank on Friday, March 23.
The Cheats vocalist said it was “bittersweet” that her body is producing a surplus of milk, but that she was “happy” to think of the babies who will benefit from her donation.
“Bittersweet that my body seems to be producing enough for twins, but it really makes me happy thinking of the babies that will get stronger because of my ‘liquid gold,’” she tweeted.
