The Bulacan Provincial Blood Center (BPBC) received a Plaque of Appreciation from the Department of Health (DOH) Central Luzon Regional Blood Center for being a consistent lead blood service facility partner of the local government units.

The blood center, managed by the provincial government of Bulacan, received the award during the Sandugo Awarding Ceremony held at Premium Ballroom A, Premium Tower, Royce Hotel, Clark Freeport, Pampanga last July 30.

DOH Regional Director Corazon Flores awarded the plaque to BPBC for its support and commitment to the Regional Voluntary Blood Services Program in the Campaign on Voluntary Non-Remunerated Blood Donation as Lead Blood Service Facility for the Calendar Year 2023.

Gov. Daniel R. Fernando said the Provincial Government of Bulacan will continuously support the objectives of the DOH and each LGU to ensure access to safe and adequate blood.

The Municipality of Paombong headed by Mayor Maryanne P. Marcos also received a Plaque of Appreciation as LGU partner.

Meanwhile, Fernando congratulated the four awardees comprised of the cities and municipalities with one percent collection through community-based donation in 2023.

Municipality of Pandi headed by Mayor Enrico A. Roque, City of Malolos headed by Mayor Atty. Christian D. Natividad, Municipality of Angat headed by Mayor Reynante S. Bautista and Mayor Arthur B. Robes of the City of San Jose Del Monte accepted the awards.

“Binabati ko po ang ating mga LGU na kinilala ng Sandugo Award. I am proud of your exemplary efforts on blood programs implementation. Nawa’y patuloy ninyong hikayatin ang inyong mga nasasakupan na makiisa at boluntaryong magbigay ng dugo upang mas maraming buhay ang ating masagip (I congratulate our LGUs who were recognized with the Sandugo Award. I am proud of your exemplary efforts in blood program implementation. Continue to encourage your constituents to cooperate and voluntarily donate blood so that we can save more lives)," Fernando said.

The Sandugo Award is a recognition given to outstanding local government units, government institutions, private organizations, and individuals for their unwavering support and contribution to the promotion of voluntary blood donation.
