Dugoyanihan joined the effort in saving lives as an act of solidarity through bloodletting activity

Baguio City – As part of the 75th anniversary of the Philippine Red Cross simultaneous event was held in Grandstand Melvin Jones, Baguio City on April 15, 2023.

The proponent of the activity was the Board of Directors of the Baguio Chapter of the Philippine Red Cross.

In an interview with PRC Baguio Chapter Administrator Jennelyn M. Terre, “As of this time, we are happy and thank you to all blood donors who shared their gift of life through voluntary blood donation, serve as a typical example of the essence of sharing and giving.

And we are thankful to Mayor Benjamin Magalong for his support in pledging the police officer to be with us as a blood donor and also the pledge of a local youth council to support our dugoyanihan activity.

“Nakapagtala tayo ng 147 blood donors na ang bawat isa sa kanila ay nagbigay ng 450cc sa kahit anong type ng dugo na ito ay isang malaking tulong sa mga mas nangangailangan ng dugo na sila ang prayoridad na mabibigyan

“Ang grupo ng “MOVE 87” ay sumuporta rin sa programa ngunit hindi pa sila makapag donate ng blood dahil katatapos lang ng kanilang grupo nag donate, after 3 month uli sila magdo donate,”

“To all healthy individuals, you may donate your blood every 3 months or sa mga walk-in na gusto mag donate ay everyday bukas ang ating opisina ng Philippine Red Cross Baguio Chapter sa 39 Harrison Road, Baguio City, Benguet o tumawag sa telepono : (074) 424 7953

“It is always WE, not ME. the collaborated effort of the staff, the Board of Directors, and especially the untiring support of the volunteers that makes this meaningful event a success.

Never-ending thanks to the father of the City Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong who is always there to give his words of wisdom.

To all our partners, and stakeholders let us work together for a common goal which is to serve our city.

We are committed to serving,” Terre concluded.  Photos by:  Mario Oclaman //FNS
