MAKATI CITY — The Makati City Government, through the Makati Action Center in partnership with Ospital ng Makati and the Makati Health Department, successfully concluded its two-day Mass Blood Donation Activity today at the Ground Floor of Makati City Hall, Building II. The initiative, which ran from July 22 to 23, 2026, invited city hall employees and residents aged 18 and above to participate in this life-saving effort by voluntarily donating blood. The activity addressed the critical need for blood supply in hospitals and medical facilities, particularly during the rainy season when cases of dengue and other illnesses often rise. By opening this opportunity to both government workers and the public, the city ensured a wider reach and greater impact for the program.
A Strong Turnout of Donors from City Hall and the Community
City hall employees and residents responded positively to the call for blood donors, demonstrating the community's commitment to helping those in need. Each donation has the potential to save up to three lives, making every participant a vital contributor to the community's health and well-being. Health teams from the Makati Health Department and Ospital ng Makati were on-site throughout the two-day event to conduct necessary medical screenings, ensuring the safety of both donors and recipients. The program reflected the city's commitment to fostering a culture of volunteerism and compassion among its residents.
A Continuing Commitment to Community Health
The successful conclusion of the blood donation drive underscores Makati's dedication to public health and its encouragement of a culture of volunteerism and compassion among residents. By providing accessible donation sites within the city hall complex, the local government made it easier for employees and nearby residents to contribute to this noble cause. The city government extends its gratitude to all participants who took time to donate blood and encourages everyone to continue spreading awareness about the importance of regular blood donation in saving lives. Future bloodletting activities are expected as part of the city's ongoing efforts to ensure a steady and sufficient blood supply for patients in need across Makati.
