GMA Kapuso Foundation to hold blood donation drive on February 15

The GMA Kapuso Foundation is holding its blood donation drive on February 15 at Ever Gotesco Mall in Commonwealth, Quezon City.

According to a report on “24 Oras,” Wednesday, every blood bag can help save lives of patients suffering from cancer and recovering from surgery or childbirth.

The Sagip Dugtong Buhay project has encouraged many to become regular donors.

“Kahit na hindi mo kaano-ano, nanghihingi ng tulong at walang kapasidad na bumili ng isang bag as long as ka-blood type… nadagdagan na ‘yung reason ko bukod sa physical benefit gumagawa ka ng mabuti kahit wala ka naman financial na nilabas,” said Rudolfo Madamba, who has donated blood 20 times.

“Since then nung college pa lang ako, ROTC, nagdo-donate na ako kasi nga paniniwala ko it’s better to give than to receive,” added Ruben Ramos, who has freely given his blood 11 times since 2015.

Philippine Red Cross Secretary General Dr. Gwen Pang said that the Philippines needs 1.3 million to 1.5 million blood bags to fulfill the needs of our population of over 120 million.

For those who wish to support GMA Kapuso Foundation’s initiatives, you may send your donations through bank deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank credit card, and Lazada.
