The bi-annual activity was able to collect 31,050 cc of blood from donors who went through strict and rigid procedures before they were qualified.

The screening process started at 8:00 o’clock in the morning where donors were asked to fill up forms and answer questions pertinent to their health status. Physical examination, blood typing and a hemoglobin determination, interview and the actual blood extraction were performed by the medical team from PRC.

Light snacks donated by sponsors were served to the donors.

Idquival thanked the blood donors for their generosity. Likewise, gratitude was extended to the PRC team who assisted in this priceless project.
