MANDALUYONG CITY -- Different national government agencies such as Department of Education, Department of the Interior and Local Government, Department of Labor and Employment, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Agrarian Reform, Government Service and Insurance System, Landbank of the Philippines, and United Coconut Planters Bank have endorsed the Philippine Red Cross’ (PRC) Membership Program to all its employees, attached agencies, regional/provincial offices, partners, as well as members of the community.

The PRC Membership Accident Assistance Benefits (MAAB) provides every individual an opportunity to be a volunteer and partake in PRC’s humanitarian activities physically and financially. Members also get protection through accident insurance coverage.

Anyone between 5 to 85 years old can be a member and a volunteer. In recognition of this desire to help PRC as a volunteer, members get access to all Red Cross services in times of emergencies, sickness, and disasters. In addition, members who meet unfortunate situations can get reimbursement for accidental death, disablement and dismemberment, hospitalization, and burial services.

The MAAB is PRC’s way of preparing for future risks, as the country has been ranked number one in terms of disaster risk in the 2022 World Risk Report. It is also a chance given to every individual to be part of the premier humanitarian organization’s mission of saving lives by being a volunteer, as a donor or even both. (Philippine Red Cross)
