At least 5,000 Bulakenyos will join the Philippine Red Cross (PRC)-Bulacan Chapter in the "Walk for Humanity" program on Saturday, April 15, in support of its noble history of humanitarian services.
The activity will be held starting 6 a.m. at the Bulacan Capitol Gymnasium in this city as part of the humanitarian organization's 75th anniversary celebration.
With the theme “PRC is always first, always ready, and always there in service for humanity,” the participants will gather at the grounds of Malolos Sports and Convention Center and will walk going to the Bulacan Capitol Gymnasium where the program proper will be held.
As an advocate of the PRC, Bulacan Governor Daniel R. Fernando urged every Bulakenyo to support and join the walk to promote its advocacies in providing assistance to vulnerable populations.
“For 75 years, the Philippine Red Cross has been committed to provide quality life-saving services especially to the indigent population, and by supporting them, we are also giving support to all our fellows who needed help, those who are vulnerable. Let’s be one of them and promote humanness, let’s all save lives,” the governor said.
The program will also be attended by Vice Gov. Alexis C. Castro, Bulacan Third District Representative Lorna C. Silverio, chairwoman of the PRC-Bulacan Chapter; Dr. Cecilia Gascon, vice chairwoman of PRC-Bulacan Chapter; and other stakeholders, volunteers, and partners of PRC.
The PRC has been continuously providing major services to Filipinos such as blood services, disaster management services, safety services, health services, social services, Red Cross youth and volunteer services.
