BE A DONOR, BE A LIFESAVER 🩸❤️

On September 16th, we successfully gathered 47 blood donors who generously gave a part of themselves to help save lives. We sincerely thank everyone who took the time to donate and support this meaningful cause.

Every blood donation can make a difference. A single blood bag can help patients in need and give hope to families during difficult times. Through your generosity, you can become someone’s lifesaver.

This activity was made possible through the initiative of the HCDC Medical-Dental Clinic (MDC) and National Service Training Program (NSTP), in collaboration with and under the guidance of the Philippine Red Cross – Davao City Chapter, and in partnership with the Ayala Foundation.

A heartfelt thank you to our HCDC-CRCY and NSTP student volunteers who willingly shared their time, energy, and service throughout the activity. From the preparations to assisting our donors, your presence and dedication truly made a difference. We are grateful for every effort, every helping hand, and every moment you spent serving others. Your willingness to volunteer reminds us that service becomes more meaningful when we do it together.

To everyone who became part of this meaningful activity, thank you for choosing to serve, give, and make a difference. Let us continue to inspire one another to help and give, because even a simple act of kindness can bring hope to someone in need. ❤️

We also express our sincere appreciation to the Safety and Security Committee for their dedication in helping maintain a safe and orderly celebration. To H.E.A.R.T., thank you for being our partner and companion in promoting the safety and well-being of everyone throughout the fiesta.

Our gratitude also goes to the HCDC Medical-Dental Clinic nurses and student assistants for their continuous support, care, and assistance whenever medical needs arose. Your presence and commitment were an important part of keeping our community safe and cared for.

Most importantly, to our dedicated volunteer medics, thank you for your commitment, teamwork, discipline, and willingness to serve. Your readiness to assist and your genuine concern for others truly reflected the spirit of volunteerism and humanitarian service.

🇵🇭 WIKA, KULTURA, AT PAGKAKAISA! | Buwan ng Wika 2026 🇵🇭

Isang masaya at makabuluhang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika na may temang: "Wikang Filipino at AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon". Selebrasyong puno ng tawanan, pagkakaisa, at pagmamalaki sa ating sariling wika at kultura!

Sa pamamagitan ng mga masasayang aktibidad tulad ng Hilahang Lubid at Sack Race, naipakita natin ang tunay na diwa ng bayanihan, pagtutulungan, at pagkakaisa. Hindi lamang ito paligsahan, kundi pagkakataon upang mas mapalapit at mapalakas ang samahan ng bawat isa.

Kasabay ng pagdiriwang, ating binibigyang-pugay ang ating RCY Medics na patuloy na handang tumugon at magbigay ng agarang tulong sa oras ng pangangailangan.

Maraming salamat sa inyong dedikasyon, kahandaan, at malasakit sa paglilingkod. Ang inyong pagiging laging handang umaksyon ay tunay na halimbawa ng diwa ng bayanihan at serbisyo.
