| Extending lifelines of those in need. Donating blood is not an easy task, it can be scary for most. Needles do get intimidating after all.
On March 24, 2026, the volunteer students of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) - Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS), in partnership with the Ospital ng Maynila, took part in replenishing the Manila blood bank.
The initiative has recorded a total of 108 registered donors, this includes both pre-registered and walk-in volunteers. Out of the total volunteers, 86 of them were qualified and able to successfully donate. With the number of donors, they were able to accumulate an estimated total of 38,700cc of blood. The derived volume can help approximately 258 patients who will undergo blood transfusion.
From the four chambers of our hearts, thank you to all the donors who took time and effort for the blood donation program!
| Blood Donation Drives are crucial in medical procedures for patients with illnesses like anemia, cancer, dengue and other conditions that require blood transfusion. Hospitals are aided to perform surgeries and medical procedures with a sufficient amount of blood supply.
In the beginning of 2026, some news reports stated that hospitals nationwide raised red alerts due to critical blood shortages. Due to this critical concern, local and national medical institutions encourage consistent blood donations.
Student-volunteers under the National Service Training Program (NSTP), particularly BSN 2-3 and 2-4, in coordination with Bagong Ospital ng Maynila, organized a donation drive to gather blood for hospitals and patients in need. The event was held on March 24, 2026, at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila's Katipunan Lounge in Gusaling Ejercito Estrada.
This initiative leaves a trace of humanity, lengthening the lives of people in need of strength, lending blood that would grant them another chance. This is not a mere medical procedure, but a reflection of a loving Filipino who is willing to offer a part of themselves to others.
