TAGUM CITY – The National Sandugo Hall of Famer award inspired Davao del NorteGovernor Rodolfo P. del Rosario to do more in encouraging blood donations to beef up the blood supply in the province.
The Governor said that receiving the award is not the end, but marks the renewal of his lasting commitment to the provincial voluntary blood sufficiency program (PVBSP).
He received the National Sandugo Outstanding Local Government Executive Hall of Fame Award recently for his “support, commitment and active involvement in the promotion of voluntary blood donation for five consecutive years.”
Del Rosario was among the only two governors in the country who secured the Hall of Fame recognition in the National Sandugo award, which was given to LCEs who gave their full support to the national voluntary blood services program.
Six mayors from the province also clinched the national award, with four LCEs recognized as Hall of Famers.
“As a leader, it is important for me to engage and encourage donations among our constituents,” del Rosario said, stressing a stable blood supply is key to ensuring the well-being of his constituents.
The Governor has put optimum health as an integral component of his human-centered development agenda P.E.O.P.L.E.
The province has conducted 123 bloodlettings last year, where over 3,000 patients benefitted from a total of 6,204 blood units released by the Provincial Blood Bank.
Since 1992, Davao del Norte has established its PVBSP that earned the GalingPook Award in 1997.
In 2010, Gov. del Rosario launched Project DOLFO (Donors of Life for Others), which made it possible for Davao del Norte to attain a significant breakthrough in mobilizing 500 voluntary blood donors, beating the record of 300 of Camarines Sur.(Noel Baguio-PIO DavNor)
