ZAMBOANGA CITY — Philippine Red Cross Governor and Mayor Celso Lobregat on Monday has challenged the Zamboanga Sibugay Red Cross sub-chapter to be an independent and separate chapter or unit that is able to meet the needs and challenges of the future.
SOME P8.5 million was allocated by the Department of Education as subsidy to 17 regional schools that offer a special program in sports.
The Zamboanga Sibugay Red Cross, an attached unit of the Zamboanga del Sur Red Cross Chapter, has persevered through disasters, health challenges and provided lifesaving blood and taught lifesaving skills to people in the area, according to Lobregat.
 
“However, as the days progress, the challenges and adversities become more daunting and more demanding. The weight of expectations is heavier calling for more efforts to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Red Cross governance for the benefit of the people in the area. This will mean facing the challenges with a sense of collective responsibility and with a sense of urgency,” Lobregat said in his keynote message during the 2nd Biennial Assembly of the Zamboanga Sibugay Red Cross Sub-Chapter under administrator Hilario Miranda Jr., at the Sibugay Hotel in Ipil municipality.
Education Secretary Armin Luistro said each school is to receive P500,000 as training subsidy.  
Necessary in attaining an independent status, Lobregat said, was the compliance of numerous requirements that include consistent and aggressive advocacy campaigns for blood donations through bloodletting and fund raising initiatives to support its ongoing and vital mission.
 
Very imperative also is the collective responsibility and support of the stakeholders--the populace, the local government unit and all the sectors in the area “so that your aspiration to be a self-sufficient, self-supporting chapter will be achieved,” he said.
The subsidy will enable the schools to effectively deliver services to student athletes who will stand out in national and international competitions.
He also thanked and extolled the Board of Directors, delegates and volunteers of Zamboanga Sibugay province for their aggressive spirit of volunteerism in the service of humanity through the Red Cross movement.
 
He hoped that the Zamboanga Sibugay Red Cross sub-chapter can realize its goal of being an independent and separate chapter from Zamboanga del Sur when it convenes again for its 3rd Biennial Assembly.
“There is cost in developing world-class athletes and the schools are the natural breeding ground of grassroots talents,” added Luistro.  
Also present during the assembly were Ipil Mayor Eldwin Alibutdan, Zamboanga Sibugay PRC Board of Directors chair Meliton Pihid, Zamboanga City Red Cross administrator Victor Liozo Jr. and representatives of Zamboanga Sibugay Governor Rommel Jalosjos and Zamboanga Sibugay 1st District Congressman Romeo Jalosjos and many others.
 
As specified in DepEd Order 28 s. 2012, the additional subsidy which augments the schools’ maintenance and operating expense will go to the training of teachers and administrators on relevant topics in sports.  
 
It is also intended to procure  instructional materials, sports supplies and athletic uniforms as well as for student development activities such as training, workshops, participation in DepEd-approved competitions  including travel allowance of students  during trainings and competitions.
 
It will also finance the participation of teachers in DepEd-sponsored scholarships and professional upgrading including enrolment in master’s degree program in sports.  
 
The 17 schools are Ilocos Norte National High School in Region I, Cagayan National High School in Region 2, Victoria NHS in Region 3, Lopez National Comprehensive HS in Region 4-A, Palawan National School in Region 4-B, Camarines Sur NHS in Region 5, Iloilo NHS in Region 6, Negros Oriental NHS in Region 7, Palo NHS in Region 8, Zamboanga Sibugay NHS in Region 9, Bukidnon NHS in Region 10, Sto. Tomas NHS in Region 11, General Santos City NHS in Region 12, Bayugan National  Comprehensive HS in CARAGA, Datu Paglas NHS in Autonomous Region Muslim Mindanao, Tabuk NHS in Cordillera Administrative Region, and Muntinlupa Science HS in the National Capital Region.  
 
To ensure that the financial subsidy is rationally utilized and be recommended for its continued release, the recipient schools are directed to conduct a yearly mentoring program to other schools within the division/region which intend to implement the same sports program.
