Senator Richard Gordon spearheaded the groundbreaking ceremony and laying of time capsule earlier today (September 2, 2016). See FB photo album here.

“The establishment of a branch in Bogo City will further bring Philippine Red Cross services nearer and more accessible to people in the northern part of Cebu. People from Bogo and neighboring municipalities will not have to go far to access Red Cross services like blood as the new building will have a blood collecting station,” said Senator Gordon.

The move to establish a PRC branch in Bogo City was strongly supported by the local community which sees the need for the Red Cross to continue its presence in the communities it assisted in the aftermath of typhoon Yolanda.

Fundacion Solventia, a Madrid-based NGO and a donor of the Aboitiz Group, pledged to donate 15 brand new computer units to the Anonang Sur Elementary School in Bogo City, Cebu. The computer units are equipped with a one-year Internet connection which will benefit an estimated 340 students.

In 2014, the said NGO organized a fund-raising fun run activity in Spain dubbed “Run for the Philippines” to help raise funds for the repair and rehabilitation of schools damaged by typhoon Yolanda. The fund proceeds were donated to the Aboitiz Foundation and then allocated for the rehabilitation of Anonang Sur Elementary School.
