ROXAS CITY, Capiz, Feb. 6 (PIA6) – A bloodletting activity will be conducted by the Roxas City Fire Marshal of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) on Feb. 8 at Capiz State University (CapSU) – Dayao campus here as part of its efforts to provide blood supply to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) – Capiz chapter.
“We target about 80 bags of blood during this activity,” said BFP – Roxas City Public Information Officer FO3 Marlon Garbo, adding that the same activity was also conducted last year in view of the National Fire Prevention Month.
Garbo also noted that the scheduled mass blood donation is in time with the increasing demand for blood supply because of the rising dengue cases in the province.
Based on Capiz Epidemiological Surveillance and Response Unit (CESRU) records, there are already 101 cases of dengue fever in the province from Jan. 1 to 19 this year.
Blood donors during the activity will be composed of firemen, CapSU criminology students, Barangay Dayao officials as well as residents and other walk-in clients.
The BFP also conducts another bloodletting activity every August in partnership with Hercor College, another school offering criminology course. (JCM/AAL/PIA 6 Capiz)
