Sangobion Donate Blood Day

Sangobion and with Philippine Red Cross comes in partnership to help promoting blood donation. The event was held this time at SM Fairview that anybody can walk-thru and check if they can donate blood.

I tried to donate but I was told that I am not qualified due to I just had my period that week. Also another factor I am not qualified because of lack of sleep. I never thought that having lack of sleep would greatly affect my blood.

 

 

 

 

The event was also graced by the beautiful singer Karylle.

 

 

The Philippine Red Cross supplies approximately 1/4 of the whole country’s blood requirements. However, due to lack of volunteers, it’s hard to keep up with the demand.

Also mothers die from blood loss during childbirth and having to donate blood will help mothers in distress.
