In celebration of the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ (AFP) 89th anniversary, the SLSU Catanauan Campus hosted a bloodletting activity on December 8.
The event, titled “Laang Kawal at Makabagong Bayani: Dugong Alay Mo, Sandigan ng Buhay Ko,” was part of a simultaneous AFP-wide blood donation initiative.
The event was organized by the AFP in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross and other supporting organizations. Participants included ROTC units from Southern Luzon State University Catanauan Campus, Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Mulanay, PUP General Luna, and Colegio de General Luna. The activity was open to the public, inviting volunteers from the local community to join the cause.
This collaborative effort highlighted SLSU and AFP’s dedication to community service and health advocacy while fostering a sense of unity and volunteerism. Further, the successful bloodletting activity demonstrated how collective efforts can make a significant impact, providing much-needed support to healthcare systems and saving lives.
