More Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power), as part of its corporate social responsibility, teamed up with Philippine Red Cross in organizing its third Blood Donation Drive.
Themed “Save
a Life, Share Yours,” the activity is the distribution utility’s way of showing
its commitment and concern not just in improving electricity services but also the
welfare of the Ilonggos.
The blood
donation drive has gathered a total of 30 bags from volunteer employees who
participated in the one-day activity.
According to
security officer Jiji Fuentez, aside from helping their fellow Ilonggos, he is
also able to benefit health-wise from donating his blood.
“Halimbawa
may nagakinahanglan sang bulig, daku gid nga bulig maka donate kami sang dugo, Sir.
Kung baga makahatag kami sang extension sa isa ka tawo,” says Fuentez.
According to
Corporate Planning and Regulatory Manager Rafael Dorilag, they want to
encourage the public to join the cause of the Philippine Red Cross by way of
donating their blood.
Aside from
helping others, you are also able to help yourself by staying healthy and
keeping yourself away from diseases.
“Naga donate
kita para kabulig man sa kapwa Ilonggo para ma sustain man nila ila medical
needs kag mga needs man sa bag-o nga dugo. For a personal reason, ang pagdonate
dugo nagabulig man sya para ma replenish atun nga dugo kag maka ayo man ini sa
aton nga wellness,” says Dorilag.
Philippine
Red Cross Medical Officer Alvin John Abaobao thanked MORE Power and its
employees for fostering the spirit of volunteerism.
“Madamu gid
nga salamat sa MORE Power sa pag invite sa Red Cross for this bloodletting
successful event. These blood bags will be used by their fellow Ilonggos nga
nagakinahanglan dugo and also with these activities, continuous support,
makabulig gid kita sa future nga nagakinahanglan sang dugo,” says Ababao.
