CITY OF MALOLOS- A total of 252 bags of blood were collected via the Mobile Blood Donation program initiated by the Provincial Government of Bulacan through the Provincial Health Office-Public Health (PHO-PH) in cooperation with the Central Luzon Center for Health Development- Regional Voluntary Blood Services Program CLCHD-RVBSP and Damayang Filipino Movement, Inc. (DMFI) held at the Bulacan Capitol Gymnasium in this city last Saturday, July 30, 2022.
Bulakenyos in dire need of blood transfusion from government and private hospitals in the province will be the beneficiaries of the collected blood.
Governor Daniel Fernando personally visited the site activity along with Vice Governor Alex Castro where they thanked the blood donors for their heroic act that could save a lot of lives.
“Maraming salamat po sa inyong ginawang pagmamalasakit sa ating kapwa Bulakenyo. Diyos na po ang bahalang gumanti sa inyong kabutihan,” the governor said.

The event was also part of the National Blood Donor’s Month celebration in the Province of Bulacan.
