BANGUED, Abra, Jan. 22(PIA) – The Department of Education (DepEd)-Abra Schools Division Office (SDO) promotes voluntary blood donation among its personnel and stakeholders through its bloodletting project dubbed as “Salinbuhay”.

This project provides them better access to blood in times of needs.

Salinbuhay is a Filipino slang for “Pagsalin ng Buhay” which is used to described how a person can save the life of others by donating blood.

“We’ll try to implement the Salinbuhay quarterly in order to facilitate more blood donations to help achieve an adequate supply of blood in the province,” Peña said.
