| PARAŇAQUE CITY- The Paranaque Red Cross Chapter recently received a grant worth $43,892 from logistics giant UPS.
| | Parañaque police arrested the suspect who defaced the graves of the late Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino II and President Corazon Aquino at Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque City last December. |
|
| |
|
| The grant, amounting to almost P2 million, will be used for training 143 Red Cross volunteers in 16 barangays and 31 public elementary and high schools in the city.
| | Parañaque City Police chief Senior Supt. Billy Beltran identified the suspect as Mariano Peralta Alganion who was arrested on Wednesday at his residence in Cavite after police received tips regarding his whereabouts. |
| | |
| Red Cross Parañaque branch chairman Anson Ong thanked the UPS Foundation led by Ken Stenard.
| |
| | |
| “PRC is really glad about the grant, this is a big help in the realization of our organization’s thrust to be always first, always ready, and always there when the need arises,” said Ong.
| |
| | |
| He added that the grant will focus on Red Cross campaigns to build a nation of disaster response volunteers to promote the spirit of volunteerism.
| |
| | |
| The grant covers the training on Disaster Preparedness and First Aid trainings of over 2,000 Red Cross volunteers. It also includes provision of first aid kit for each organized and trained RC 143 team.
| |
| | |
| Meanwhile, Stenard said UPS Foundation is committed to support meaningful programs that make a meaningful difference in communities.
| |
| | |
| “We are proud to support Philippine Red Cross’ efforts to build a nation of disaster response volunteers in order to promote volunteerism to serve humanitarian interest,” added Stenard.
| |
| | |
| Established in 1951, the UPS Foundation identifies specific areas where its backing clearly impacts social issues.
| |
| | |
| In support of this strategic approach, the foundation has identified the following focus areas for giving: non-profit effectiveness, economic & global literacy, encouraging diversity, community safety and environmental sustainability.
