Naga City, Bicol (25 July 2023) – RMN Networks’ Dugtong-Buhay 2023 Caravan: Bloodletting Project by RMN Foundation and Pfizer Philippines Foundation was successfully conducted on July 12 at Camaligan People’s Center, Camaligan, Camarines Sur and on July 14 at Robinsons Naga, Naga City in conjunction with the celebration of National Blood Donor Month this month.
Nearly two hundred (181) bags of blood components were collected during the said bloodletting activities with the help of Bicol Medical Center-Blood Bank and Transfusion Service, RMN DWNX Naga and Municipal Government of Camaligan. Aside from the bloodletting activity, the Naga City Health Office also conducted free screening for HIV and AIDS.
In the interview of RMN DWNX Naga with Dr. Raymundo Ibarrientos, Blood Bank and Transfusion Service Head of Bicol Medical Center (BMC), the collected blood components of BMC are not only distributed to different provinces of the Bicol Region but also to hospitals in need in Metro Manila, as well as when there is a calamity or disaster such as a typhoon, earthquake, or volcanic eruption.

The collected blood components were shared by the BMC in collaboration with the RMN Foundation to be transported to The Medical City as their storage facility and to offer blood to people in need in Metro Manila. Philippine General Hospital, St. Luke’s Medical Hospital-Quezon City, and St. Luke’s Medical Hospital-Global City are additional partner hospitals of Bicol Medical Center in Metro Manila that will keep the collected blood components.
This project was also supported by Home Suite, Giant Carrier, Poten-Cee, JDP Creatives Media, University of Nueva Caceres-Nursing Students, Camaligan Municipal Health Office, and Camaligan Barangay Health Workers.
The RMN Foundation and the Pfizer Philippines Foundation would like to thank everyone who took part, assisted, and donated.
