The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) will open satellite offices in five congressional districts of Iloilo in a move to expand the humanitarian services and serve more people in the rural areas.

Former senator Richard Gordon, currently with PRC Board, said the expansion plan will envision one PRC satellite office in each congressional district of Iloilo by bringing the services directly to the people.

Those who avail of PRC services will be not only to go to the city to get the services but also may donate blood to save a life.

Gordon said the PRC will be very visible and will always be in areas that need help especially in times of crisis, calamity or tragedy as its mandate.

The congressional district PRC satellite offices will be provided with one ambulance each.*PNA
