THE Philippine Army has collected 4,312 bags of plasma in simultaneous blood-letting drives on March 7, 2026 across all units nationwide.
In a statement, Army spokesman Col. Louie Dema-ala said regular and reservist troops displayed their dedication and heroism by participating in the blood drive as part of the Army’s 129th founding anniversary celebration slated Feb. 16 to March 19 this year.
A total of 6,754 soldiers, reservists, and other donors joined the blood donation campaign.
“The blood donation drive is geared toward sustaining an ample blood supply, which will address the demand for blood as a life-saving fluid for Army personnel and ensure the need for sufficient blood reserves during large-scale force mobilization in times of emergency, Dema-ala said.
