QUEZON CITY, (PIA) –The City Government of San Juan has collaborated with the JCI Manila to establish the first-ever canine blood bank in the Philippines.

The joint efforts of the San Juan City Government and JCI Manila have paved the way for pet owners in the region to have access to a reliable source of canine blood, increasing the chances of saving and extending the lives of their beloved pets.

The partnership was initiated by Mayor Francis Zamora, Councilor Don Allado, JCI Manila President Eric Ke, EVP Calel Gosingtian, Secretary General Chris Liao, SP Director Mark Pizzaro, Chairman Ron Jaworski, and San Juan City Veterinary Doc Jerry Alcantara who facilitated the allocation of a space within the city hall to house the canine blood bank, which will be fully operational in the near future.

Contributing significantly to this landmark initiative, JCI Manila has generously donated a blood bank freezer.

JCI Manila has also supplied consumables required for the proper treatment and care of the animals.

The establishment of the first-ever canine blood bank in the Philippines is a monumental milestone for animal welfare. (san juan pio/pia-ncr)
