Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) handed over a P2-million check to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) at the BSP Complex in Malate, Manila. PRC Chairman and CEO Richard J. Gordon received the donation from BSP Governor Nestor A. Espenilla Jr.
“Thank you, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for your trust in the Philippine Red Cross. The PRC assures the BSP that its contribution will go a long way in fulfilling its mission to alleviate human suffering and help the most vulnerable through its quality of volunteers, logistics, and information technology,” Gordon said.
The BSP has been a partner of the PRC for 10 years and is committed to donating blood twice a year among its employees to support the Red Cross’s blood-donation program.
The donation forms part of PRC’s humanitarian assistance to affected families in Marawi and the PRC’s Blood Samaritan Program.
