Blood donation drives are among the many group efforts that have been affected by the strict quarantine restrictions throughout the peak of the pandemic.
Because of this, donor turnout has decreased, employees and assets have been decreased, because the demand for blood has elevated.
To deliver again the accessibility of blood donation drives to those that need to assist, the GMA Kapuso Foundation signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Junior Chamber International and the Philippine National Red Cross to conduct a nationwide blood donation drive.
Through the initiative, about 4,140 blood luggage have been collected and will probably be distributed to totally different Red Cross Blood Service Facilities.
“Four years ang nakalipas, sinimulan ‘tong project 2018. Tapos after ng pandemic, ‘di po tayo makakuha ng dugo kaya sobrang masaya po tayo na nakapagsimula ulit tayo,” mentioned mission chairman Joshua Aragon.
JCI Manila president Eric Ke added, “Nalaman namin during our research na kulang na kulang talaga ang dugo natin here in the Philippines so right now awareness na okay lang naman eh na di naman ikakasama ng katawan.”
The Armed Forces of the Philippines additionally took half within the initiative.
“Ito ay isang paraan para mapakita natin sa tao ang pagbibigay ng proteksyon at ito ay sa pamamagitan ng pagliligtas ng buhay lalo na yung mga nangangailangan ng dugo,” Col. Medel Aguilar mentioned.
For those that have an interest to assist, the GMA Kapuso Foundation is accepting donations by means of financial institution deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank bank card, and Lazada.
