Once again, Dugong Bombo…A Little Pain…A life to Gain sparked the innate selflessness
of the ordinary Filipina by gathering thousands of blood donors who are willing to
literally give a part of themselves, through blood donation.
Simultaneous in 24 key areas nationwide where Bombo Radyo Philippines operate its 31
Bombo Radyo or Star FM stations, thousands and thousands of concerned individuals literally shed their own precious blood for Dugong Bombo 2019 – so that others may live.
True to the vision of Dr. Rogelio M. Florete, the Chairman of the Board of Bombo Radyo
Philippines, to elevate the consciousness of the ordinary Filipino to the impact of blood
donations to the lives of many in our country Dugong Bombo is acknowledged as the
biggest single day blood-letting program in the country by the Philippine Red Cross.
Dugong Bombo aims to increase the blood supply needed in so many ways by so many people. The donated blood gathered thru this project will be able to save lives that maybe lost to the dreaded dengue disease, kidney failures, mass casualty incidents caused by natural and man-made calamities, and emergency blood transfusion and procedures in hospitals.
To the successful blood donors, our profuse thank you. Of course, many more blood
donors came forward but were not able to successfully donate blood due to pre-
screening requirements on blood pressure, anemia, alcohol intake, tattoo or other
reasons. All of you are indeed heroes in your own ways.
Again, our sincerest thanks in behalf of all the beneficiaries of Dugong Bombo 2019 and to our partner, the Philippine Red Cross.
