ABSTRACT: With the elevating number of the Filipino population with chronic renal failure, the demand for kidney transplant rises tremendously every year. Unfortunately, there is a progressively depreciation in the available organ donors. The focus of this study was to assess and investigate the factors, such as knowledge, education, attitude, religion, and opinions from family, that affect the general population of Filipino adults' willingness to become organ donors. The information collected when investigating these factors may raise awareness and contribute in increasing the number of potential organ donors in the Philippines.
