Mobile Blood Donation was organized by the LGU Balungao with the assistance of Philippine Red Cross-Pangasinan Chapter.

Mayor Riza Rodriguez Peralta assisted and served the donors with hot meals after donating blood.

According to UNILAB, donating blood regularly has many health benefits not just for the receiver but for the donor as well. All aspiring donors get a free physical exam and blood testing before they are cleared to donate. Think of it as a free health checkup! Also, blood donation can significantly reduce your chances of severe heart diseases since it reduces the amount of iron in your body. Lastly, if you donate one pint or 450 ml of blood, you can burn up to 650 calories since your body will be working overtime to replenish your blood.
