The Metropolitan Tuguegarao Water District – through the Department of Health and Cagayan Valley Medical Center – conducted its 1st Leg of Bloodletting Activity on May 12, 2022 at the MTWD Main Building Function Hall, Main Avenue, San Gabriel, Tuguegarao City as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility and commitment to contribute to the regional blood bank in supplying and storing variety of blood products to save lives of those in need. This activity is in collaboration with the Tuguegarao Court No. 32, Order of the Amaranth.
With the theme, “Give the Gift that Costs Nothing to Give”, MTWD aims to contribute to the regional blood bank, thus, encourage blood donation amongst employees, consumers and the public. This activity also aims to inform, educate and encourage the public on the need for the voluntary blood donation and to instill public consciousness of the principle that blood donation is a humanitarian act.
The activity yielded a total of 87 bags of blood, 58 of whom are from MTWD employees and 29 are from walk-ins and volunteers from other agencies. Free snacks and t-shirts which served as a token of appreciation were distributed to the qualified donors by the MTWD CSR Committee.
The MTWD is grateful for the generosity and selfless act of all the blood donors and volunteers for lending a hand to fulfil the commitment of the District.
