The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) expressed its appreciation and gratitude to the Radio Mindanao Networks (RMN) Foundation for their continued partnership in ensuring an "adequate" blood supply for the country.
In a statement on Monday, Jan. 29, the two organizations recently held the first bloodletting activity of the "Dugtong-Buhay 2024" project at the PRC NHQ in Mandaluyong, collecting a total of 88 blood units.
PRC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Richard Gordon said the partnership which started in 2019 is "highly important" as the media giant.
"(RMN) has been with the PRC, not only joining us in blood drives but also amplifying our call for donations and promoting our essential rescue, relief, and recovery programs," Gordon said.
PRC Secretary-General, Dr. Gwen Pang, for her part, also expressed her gratitude to all donors, especially the dedicated men and women in uniform from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), the Philippine Navy, the Philippine Army, the Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) --- who set an example as main participants of the said activity.
Mr. Enrique Canoy, Vice President for Operations at the RMN Foundation, pointed out their dedication to aiding Filipinos in need of blood.
He further expressed RMN's commitment to supporting the organization's blood donation campaign.
