Safety Services ( FOR TRAINING SCHEDULE) - 09685008340 Born officially in 1947, but with roots that traces back to the revolutionary days, the Philippine Red Cross has truly become the premier humanitarian organization in the country, committed to provide quality life-saving services that protect the life and dignity especially of indigent Filipinos in vulnerable situations. It is the tale of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who devoted their time and resources to help the poorest of the poor. Professionally trained and truly compassionate, these men and women are ready to lend a helping hand to those in need – whoever, whenever and wherever they may be. In all its 67 years of reputable existence, the Philippine Red Cross has lived through many changes that were intended to help more people. Where it used to be involved only in providing blood and in disaster-related activities, the Philippine Red Cross now focuses on a holistic approach to uplift the condition of the most vulnerable. Where it used to offer short-term palliatives, it now offers a wider array of humanitarian services ranging from preventive medicine to therapeutic counseling, to youth leadership. At present, the Philippine Red Cross provides six major services: Blood Services, Disaster Management Services, Safety Services, Health Services, Social Services, Red Cross Youth and Volunteer Services. All of them embody the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement – humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality. These values guide and inspire all Red Cross staff and volunteers, to whom being a Red Crosser is more than just a philosophy but a way of life. Join the Red Cross. We take pride in urging all Filipinos to take part in the heroism of the Philippine Red Cross by becoming a full-pledged member, volunteer, or donor.

Preparedness saves lives. Awareness builds safer communities.

In observance of World Tsunami Awareness Day, the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) reaffirms its commitment to strengthening disaster preparedness and resilience among Filipino communities through the 4 Ps: Predict, Plan, Prepare, and Practice.

As part of this continuing commitment, we look back at the Tsunami Drill conducted in Barangay Taluksangay, Zamboanga City, last August 30, marking the first operational use of the newly installed Community Tsunami Alerting Stations (CTAS). The activity demonstrated the importance of early warning systems, community awareness, and coordinated action in ensuring that communities are better prepared when disaster strikes.

This milestone was made possible through the invaluable partnership of the Spanish Red Cross, with funding support from AECID and Eibar Udala, and the collaboration of the Zamboanga City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (ZCDRRMO), PHIVOLCS Zamboanga Station, Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

Fifty years after the devastating Moro Gulf Earthquakes and Tsunami, the lessons of the past remain a powerful reminder of the need to act today. By investing in early warning systems, strengthening local capacities, and empowering communities with lifesaving knowledge, we can help ensure that preparedness becomes a shared responsibility.

LOOK! 👀 | RESTORING DIGNITY, BUILDING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES! ❤️

Recovery goes beyond rebuilding homes and infrastructure. It is also about restoring dignity, ensuring access to basic services, and creating a healthier and safer environment for every family.

The Philippine Red Cross Negros Occidental-Bacolod City Chapter, through our WASH Unit, in partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) under the WASH Recovery Project, successfully turned over a 3-seater latrine facility, a 5-unit bathing facility, and a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) to the community of Barangay Robles, Municipality of La Castellana.

These facilities represent more than physical improvements. They are a commitment to better sanitation, proper waste management, public health, and the dignity and well-being of community members, especially internally displaced persons (IDPs) as they continue their journey towards recovery.

Present during the turnover were:

* Rita Benita Mirasol – Chapter Administrator, Philippine Red Cross Negros Occidental-Bacolod City Chapter
* Dr. Alme Rhummyla Nicor-Mangilimutan – Vice Mayor, Municipality of La Castellana
* John De Asis – Head, MDRRMO, Municipality of La Castellana
* Jerome Elaog – WASH Engineer, National Headquarters
* Community members and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)
* Department of Health (DOH) personnel

The facilities were blessed by Fr. Ryan Christopher Lumangyao, marking this milestone with gratitude and hope.

Because meaningful recovery is not simply about restoring what was lost—it is about giving communities the opportunity to live with dignity, rebuild with confidence, and look forward to a better tomorrow.

Together, we turn recovery into lasting resilience. Together, we make a difference, one community at a time. ❤️

♻️ LOOK! | TURNING PLASTIC WASTE INTO OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING! 📚

Our Philippine Red Cross Negros Occidental-Bacolod City Chapter, in collaboration with ( Gardenia Philippines ) Gardenia Bakeries Philippines, Inc., facilitated the donation of 100 armchairs made from recycled single-use plastics to Agboy Integrated Farm School in the Municipality of Candoni, in partnership with the Schools Division of Negros Occidental.

Through the initiative of Ms. Rita Benita P. Mirasol, together with Central Philippines State University, represented by former CPSU President Dr. Aladino Moraca and CPSU Candoni Campus Administrator Dr. Juno Pajarillo, this meaningful partnership brings environmental sustainability closer to the learning community.
