Blood for Charity

Blood is called the fluid of life, the fluid of growth and the fluid of health. Our blood is highly specialized circulating tissue coursing through vessels, delivering essential elements and removing harmful wastes. Without blood, the human body would stop working.
Knowing the importance of blood to a human body, blood donation has been a yearly activity of TPC in coordination with Dr. Jose Reyes Memorial Hospital’s (DJRMH) Blood Donation program.
On July 12, 2007, more than 50 employees participated whole-heartedly in the program. Its main purpose is to help others prolong their life. Blood sharing transpires an internal benefit for all donors.
Taking off certain amount of blood is equivalent of creating new one. This replaces the old ones with new ones, which is good for ones health.
The participants in this year’s blood letting program headed by our Clinic (under HR & Administration Department), had undergone pre-qualifying test by answering interview questions related to their health. Actual blood screening was also conducted by the Doctors and staffs of DJRMH to ensure that only healthy bloods will be collected. It means, not all-possible donors are qualified to share his or her precious blood due to some medical reasons. On the day of blood letting, many different facial expressions from the participants especially the first timers were seen in multi-purpose hall. Others are feeling cold while others went pale. Nevertheless, the courage they have inside pushed them to overcome their fears and pains as the needle is being pierced unto their veins. Words of encouragement like “parang kagat lang yan ng langgam” also lifted the spirits of the donors to reach the finish line, that is 500cc amount of blood. If a donor reached that finish line, he or she is advised to take an ample time to rest before allowing him or her to leave the multi-purpose hall. Doctors and staffs of DJRMH also understand that recovery is not that as quick. As human, they knew we need some source of energy to keep our body strong and healthy. Not Milo or Ovaltine but a meal from Jollibee!
Having this program at TPC, we do not only help others. We also gain internal benefits and most of all, we are entitled to certain amount of blood bag from DJRMH in times of need. We would like also to encourage other TPC employees to be involved in this kind of company program. On the other hand, further blood letting program shall be scheduled not in parallel with sportsfest so that other willing employees will be able to participate.
