The Philippine Red Cross, Bohol Chapter is now sharing with us what they do as they recognize the volunteers, and encourage more people to support humanitarian work.
The institution is rendering several kinds of services like lending a hand to help in managing effects of disaster.
DISASTER MANAGEMENT
PRC-Bohol administrator Emmanuel Pilayre mentioned the disaster management activity of the PRC together with Myrna Lambujon who is also with PRC-Bohol. She is working as an acting head of the disaster management services group.
