Due to the overwhelming number of people reaching out and asking the whereabouts of the Red Cross Youth Council first aiders during the recently concluded BU HATAW 2025, the Bicol University -Red Cross Youth Council (BU-RCYC) would like to clarify that our official communication platforms (email, messenger, FB page) have not received any official communication letter to involve or deploy volunteers for the said event. Moreover, the BU-RCYC adviser did not receive any coordination letter either.
As per our guidelines to safeguard our council and ensuring the safety of our volunteers, we cannot deploy any volunteers without proper coordination beforehand.
However, despite this lack of coordination, several officers and members of the BU RCYC still responded and rushed to the venue as soon as we received word that the situation turned a turn for the worse, many helping transport patients, monitoring patient conditions, taking vital signs, and etc.
We hope this statement clears out any misunderstandings and avoid misconceptions about the circulating issue. Lastly, if there are any students who are experiencing adverse reactions from the smoke inhalation such as difficulty breathing, nausea, and the like, do not hesitate to reach out to our FB Page or to any RCYC members for proper reporting.
