LOOK | PRC's VisMin Chapters participate in Hot Meals and Food Truck Operation Training

To further intensify its food assistance to people affected by disasters and conflict, the PRC conducted a two-day Hot Meals and Food Truck Operation Training to 25 volunteers and staff from its chapters in Visayas and Mindanao last April 29 and 30. Among the objectives of the initiative are to strengthen the capacity of PRC’s food handlers in food safety and hygiene, proper food handling and storage, and food presentation and services.

PRC Chairman and CEO Dick Gordon and PRC Secretary-General Dr. Gwen Pang welcomed the participants. Chairman Gordon, in his speech, reminded the participants of the importance of what they do, adding, “You will use what you’ll learn here to serve food that will not only save disaster-stricken Filipinos from hunger but will also protect them from sickness and disease.”

The training is supported by the International Committee of the Red Cross while it is spearheaded by the Department of Science and Technology, along with PRC staff.

Philippine Red Cross celebrates 77 years of transformative humanitarian service

Today, the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) is celebrating its 77 years of transformative humanitarian service to the country -- offering an opportunity for PRC’s 102 chapters nationwide to amplify their common agenda and reaffirm their purposes and commitment to PRC's mission and vision that have guided the organization for the past decades.

For over seven decades, the PRC evolved beyond its original conception as a blood collection agency and has now become a powerful instrument of change, dignity, and progress to the lives of millions of Filipinos during all kinds of disasters, including typhoons, earthquakes, armed conflicts, and disease outbreaks.

To provide the life-saving services it is recognized for, the PRC increased the quantity and quality of its logistics, assets, and facilities over the years. It strengthened the capacity of its Operations Center, a state-of-the-art command center connected to all the chapters across the country. The center ensures that the organization can promptly respond to any emergency, providing a coordinated response that maximizes the impact of the organization's volunteers and logistics.

The organization also now boasts a fleet of 178 ambulances, food trucks, rescue trucks, fire trucks, humvees, amphibians, rescue boats, Volunteer Emergency Response Vehicles, water tankers with water bladders, and payloaders to clear debris in case of disasters. The MV Amazing Grace, a humanitarian ship, is another vital asset that provides rescue and relief items to various islands in the Philippines.

To operate these assets and logistics, PRC Chairman and CEO Richard “Dick” Gordon invested heavily in recruiting volunteers and developing an extensive network of trained emergency medical services personnel. Under his leadership, the PRC now has over two million volunteers across the country who can operate humanitarian assets, perform first aid, or respond to emergencies in their communities.

The PRC’s enhanced logistics, increased number of volunteers, and Operations Center fulfills the equation “Volunteers + Logistics + Information Technology = A Red Cross that is Always First, Always Ready, and Always There” – a mantra that guides PRC in its responses to vulnerable communities. Its focus on these three areas has enabled it to provide critical assistance to millions of Filipinos affected by natural disasters, pandemics, and other emergencies.

Over the years, Chairman Gordon, along with PRC Secretary-General Dr. Gwen Pang, also crystallised the need for immediate collective action to address climate change, advance gender equality, augment the country’s blood requirement, and improve the grassroot healthcare provision. These endeavors significantly enhanced the organization’s efforts to secure peace, sustainable development, and humanitarian aid. Chairman Gordon's legacy will endure for years, as the PRC remains to inspire hope and aid for Filipinos in need.

Access to clean and safe drinking water is essential for good health and well-being. The distribution of potable water to those in need helps to prevent water-borne illnesses and other health problems that can arise from consuming contaminated water. It is important that we continue to work towards ensuring that everyone has access to clean water, regardless of where they live or their socioeconomic status.

ZAMBOANGA CITY WATER SHORTAGE 💦

📆 April 9, 2024, Tuesday, The Philippine Red Cross - Zamboanga City Chapter partners with the Zamboanga City Water District in distribution of water with our supportive Philippine Red Cross Governor Celso Lobregat.

The distribution of clean water is not only important for health reasons, but it also plays a critical role in economic development. Without access to clean water, productivity decreases, and people's livelihoods are affected. Women and children, in particular, bear the burden of water collection, which can take hours and prevent them from attending school or engaging in other income-generating activities.

Overall, the distribution of 22,000L of clean drinking water to four Barangays in Zamboanga City, which served approximately 4,400 individuals and 1,467 families, is a significant achievement that can help alleviate the struggles of those who are facing water scarcity. We must continue to work towards ensuring that everyone has access to safe and clean drinking water, regardless of where they live or their socioeconomic status.
