SOME 30 residents participated in a bloodletting activity on October 17, organized by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP)-Urdaneta District Jail Male Dormitory (UDJMD) in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross-Urdaneta branch and the Inner Wheel Club of Downtown Dagupan District 379, to support community life-saving efforts.

The event, with the theme Isang Patak ng Pag-ibig, collected 31 bags of blood.

Jail Chief Insp. Randy Batay-An said blood donors also included UDJMD jail personnel as well as representatives from other national government agencies such as the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) and Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), along with representatives from non-government organizations, including local churches.

“Karamihan sa aming personnel ay active donor naman, a better way para ma-increase ang awareness ng community sa activities ng jail,” he said, emphasizing that working together not only helps meet urgent healthcare needs but also builds a sense of unity among residents.

Honeylette Bamba, head of the Philippine Red Cross branch in Urdaneta City, said their collaboration with the BJMP is part of their mission to ensure sufficient blood supply, especially for patients in need of urgent assistance. (PIA Pangasinan/MJTAB/JCDR/AQA)
