STA. ANA, MANILA- To celebrate the Radio Mindanao Network Foundation’s (RMNF) 12th anniversary, RMNF partnered with the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) for the first-ever “Serbisyo Caravan” for senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs) affected by the typhoons Carina and Enteng at Brgy. 892 Zone 99, District VI Sta. Ana, Manila on September 5, 2024. 

The PRC deployed 21 medical personnel and volunteers from its Manila Chapter, providing a range of humanitarian services including free medical consultations, basic first aid and life support training, talks on monkeypox and leptospirosis, and distribution of medicines and vitamins for both children and adults.

Meanwhile, RMNF and other partners offered hot meals, food packs, free haircuts, dental care, and massage services to the attendees.  

“RMN Networks has been our ally for many years and I am very proud to say that our partnership with them remains firm. I believe the reason is that the PRC and RMN uphold the same values, principles, and mission to serve humanity. Happy Anniversary RMN Foundation and wishing the Canoys and your dynamic organization more success as you continue to inspire many more lives,” PRC Chairman and CEO Dick Gordon said. 

PRC Secretary-General Dr. Gwen Pang shared that “RMN has been a reliable comrade of PRC in its blood donation campaign. In 2023, it collected 691 blood units through the Dugtong-Buhay bloodletting activities which greatly contributed to PRC’s goal to ensure sufficient blood supply.”

“We actually received word from this barangay three times asking for help due to recent typhoons. Nagpapasalamat ang RMN Foundation sa suporta ng Philippine Red Cross not only by providing informative talks but also by giving medical services to our beneficiaries who came today.  With the help of PRC, siguradong nakararating ang aming serbisyo sa buong Pilipinas. Literal na umulan ng biyaya ngayong araw,” RMN Networks Vice President for Operations and Head of the Corporate Communications Enrique Canoy added. 

The Serbisyo Caravan served 100 vulnerable individuals. The RMNF plans to expand the program to reach more people in need.
