Kasama ang ating partner na Gardenia Philippines, matagumpay tayong nakapaghatid ng mainit na Stir Fry Pancit Canton at Gardenia Loaf Breads sa mga pamilyang pansamantalang nanunuluyan sa Aplaya Evacuation Center, Pila, Laguna at Santo Angel Norte Covered Court, Santa Cruz, Laguna.

Nagsagawa rin tayo ng mga health lectures tungkol sa Leptospirosis at Dengue Prevention upang mabigyan ng tamang kaalaman ang ating mga kababayan at makaiwas sa mga sakit na karaniwang lumalaganap tuwing tag-ulan.
Itinuro rin natin ang tamang paraan ng paghuhugas ng kamay bilang pangunahing hakbang sa pagpigil ng pagkalat ng sakit.

Hindi rin natin nakalimutang tugunan ang emosyonal at psychosocial na pangangailangan ng mga bata sa evacuation centers. Sa pamamagitan ng Child-Friendly Space Activities tulad ng Art Therapy, nabigyan sila ng pagkakataong makapagpahayag ng damdamin at makapaglaro.

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) joins the entire Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in remembering a pivotal moment in humanitarian history; the Battle of Solferino: the event that sparked the founding of the Red Cross Movement.

in history, a bloody and decisive battle took place in Solferino, in the former Kingdom of Lombardy (now part of Italy). 📖

This battle was part of a larger struggle to liberate the Italian states from Austrian control and unite them into a single nation—what we now know as Italy. On that day, the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia joined forces against the Austrian Empire in a grueling confrontation.

After fifteen hours of fierce combat, 6,000 soldiers lost their lives, and more than 35,000 were wounded or missing.

A Swiss businessman named Henry Dunant, who happened to be in Solferino on business, witnessed the aftermath of this human tragedy. Deeply moved by the suffering of the wounded left without care, he took it upon himself to organize help and call on local civilians to assist the dying and injured—regardless of which side they fought for.

Out of this horrific battle, Dunant planted the seeds of a powerful idea. His experience led to the founding of:

♦️ A neutral and impartial organization to protect and assist those affected by armed conflict—now known as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
♦️ Voluntary relief societies to care for the wounded—eventually becoming the National Societies like the Philippine Red Cross
♦️ A set of principles and laws to guide these organizations—enshrined in the Geneva Conventions.

As we remember the Battle of Solferino, we honor the legacy it created—a global humanitarian movement committed to compassion, neutrality, and saving lives in the midst of conflict.

🩸 World Blood Donor Day | June 14

“Give blood, give hope — together, we save lives.”

Today, we pay tribute to the quiet yet powerful heroism of our blood donors — individuals who, through their simple act of giving, offer others the gift of life, hope, and healing. Their selflessness strengthens our healthcare system and embodies the spirit of compassion that binds us as a nation.

At the Philippine Red Cross, we recognize that voluntary blood donation is not just a noble gesture — it is a lifeline. It sustains hospitals, aids in emergencies, and restores futures once thought uncertain.

As we commemorate World Blood Donor Day, we extend our deepest thanks to every donor across the country. Your courage and generosity make you true champions of humanity.

Let us continue to inspire one another — to give when we are able, to care without condition, and to stand united in saving lives.

Every drop is a gift. Every donor is a hero.

Mabuhay ang ating mga tagapagligtas!
