DAVAO ORIENTAL TENT CITY, NOW OPERATIONAL! 🏕️

The Philippine Red Cross continues to stand with families affected by the recent earthquake in Davao Oriental. Today, the Red Cross Tent City is officially operational, providing temporary shelter for those who lost their homes.

A total of 79 tents have been set up — 42 in Manay and 37 in Tarragona — serving as safe spaces for displaced families.

Beyond shelter, all essential Red Cross services are available on-site: food trucks serving hot meals, relief distributions, clean water supply, and welfare support for children, women, and families — ensuring that everyone receives care and dignity as they rebuild their lives after the earthquake.

Braving the muddy roads and harsh weather, PRC volunteers and staff continued their humanitarian mission, delivering much-needed food packs to a total of 473 families — 146 households in Brgy. Paypay, Daanbantayan, and 327 families in the hard-to-reach area of Purok Mansatomas, Kawit, Medellin.

Rain or shine, the Red Cross remains steadfast in its commitment to bring help and hope to communities affected by the recent earthquake in Northern Cebu. 🚛

Sweet hearts behind sweet treats! 🍩❤️

Huge thanks to Dunkin’ for always being there for our hardworking Philippine Red Cross teams — from the Cebu earthquake, to the recent tremors in Surigao, La Union, and Davao, and even during Typhoons Dante and Emong last July.

On the evening of October 17, Dunkin' sent 45 boxes of donuts to fuel our volunteers, and also our staff from Operations Center, HR, Health, Disaster Management, Fleet, Blood Services, Safety, Emergency Response Unit, our security guards, which and utility teams — all working non-stop for our ongoing humanitarian efforts.

Thank you, Dunkin’, for being one of our most consistent supporters. You make service sweet! 🍩🤍

More than two weeks after a magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck Cebu, President Bongbong Marcos visits Bogo City, alongside Philippine Red Cross Chairman Richard Gordon, PRC Secretary-General Gwen Pang, and DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon to personally check on the families staying at the Philippine Red Cross-managed Tent City and assess ongoing recovery efforts.

Together with the Philippine Red Cross, the President also visited the DSWD–DHSUD site in San Remigio, and Cebu Provincial Hospital-Bogo to ensure continued assistance to affected communities.

The Philippine Red Cross, as an auxiliary to the government, stands in full support of national and local authorities in helping communities rebuild their lives — providing shelter, health services, and humanitarian aid every step of the way. ❤️🤝🇵🇭

| PRC Update

In celebration of Global Handwashing Day, the Philippine Red Cross conducted hygiene promotion activities and handwashing demonstrations for families staying at the Tent City in Medellin, Cebu.

Through this activity, PRC volunteers reminded residents, especially children, of the importance of proper handwashing in preventing diseases and staying healthy, particularly in evacuation sites.

The PRC extends its heartfelt thanks to Procter & Gamble Philippines for their continued support and for providing hygiene kits that help promote health, dignity, and well-being among displaced families.

P&G CARES (Community Assistance & Relief Efforts) is P&G's 90th Anniversary CSR and disaster preparedness program that aims to preposition 90,000 hygiene kits in disaster-prone areas across the country, helping families stay ready when emergencies strike.

In a country constantly challenged by the forces of nature – three typhoons and eight earthquakes just weeks into the year’s final quarter—one steadfast source of hope and action shines through: the Philippine Red Cross (PRC). Their response to the devastating doublet earthquakes in Davao Oriental and surrounding provinces is a masterclass in humanitarian mobilization, a testament to an organization that truly “never sleeps”. Yet, woven into this narrative of tireless service is a poignant thread of profound loss, reminding us that heroism often comes with a deeply personal cost.

Happy 97th Birthday to our Rose of Humanity, Governor Rosa Rosal! 🥳🎉

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) proudly honors and celebrates the 97th birthday of Governor Rosa Rosal, one of the most enduring symbols of compassion, selflessness, and humanitarian service in the Philippines.

A member of the PRC Board of Governors and one of its most dedicated pioneers, Gov. Rosal began her journey with the Red Cross in 1950, just three years after the organization’s founding in 1947.

Beyond her acclaimed career as an award-winning actress and public service television host, Gov. Rosal used her platform to amplify humanitarian causes and inspire a culture of volunteerism. She was instrumental in institutionalizing PRC’s mobile bloodletting program, helping make blood donation a national advocacy. Her leadership extended to strengthening PRC’s welfare programs, particularly in assisting overseas Filipino workers in distress and providing support and care for children through Red Cross welfare services — a true embodiment of compassion in action.

Her decades of service have been recognized globally. In 1999, she was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Public Service — the Asian equivalent of the Nobel Prize — for her “lifetime of unstinting voluntary service, inspiring Filipinos to put the needs of others before their own.”

Happy Birthday, Gov. Rosa Rosal! Your Red Cross family celebrates you — our timeless Rose of Humanity. ❤️🤍
