Barangay XIII headed by Barangay Captain Ronilo M. Sarito was awarded with a plaque of recognition as Sandugo Outstanding Local Government Executive at the National Sandugo Awarding Ceremony held at Clamshell 11, Gen. Luna cor Anda St. Intramuros, Manila on July 31, 2007. A Hall of Fame trophy was also awarded to Barangay Capt. Sarito for receiving the Sandugo Outstanding Local Government Executive Award for three (3) consecutive years, from 2005-2007. The Sandugo Outstanding Local Government Executive Award was awarded to Barangay XIII for its outstanding support, commitment and active involvement in the promotion of voluntary blood donation towards the achievement of the vision of Republic Act 7719, known as the National Blood Services Act of l994.
Last June 12, 2007, the barangay had conducted a Blood Letting Activity at the Barangay Government Center in Gloriville Subdivision where in more than 100% of the volume of blood required was gathered. This result will qualify Barangay XIII to become a nominee for the fourth Sandugo Award next year.
The advocacy for Voluntary Blood Donation was given a great boost in l994 when Republic Act 7719 was passed by Congress and signed by Pres. Fidel V. Ramos. Pursuant to state policy, government both national agencies and private organizations were mobilized to promote voluntary blood donation and collect the lifesaving fluid.
A decade ago, the Department of Health decided to recognize Local Government Executive who gave their full support to the National Voluntary Blood Services Program (NVBSP). The objective of the National Sandugo Awards is to motivate governors, mayors and barangay captains to spearhead and be personally involved and committed to the National Voluntary Blood Service Program. The initial criteria specified by the NVBSP were:
1. Personal involvement and commitment in the NVBSP.
2. Provision of resources in the promotion of voluntary blood donation.
3. Being instrumental for the high percentage of voluntary blood donation in his jurisdiction.
4. Exemplary administrative actions in support of NVBSP.
A few years later, the Task Force #4 on Local Blood Council of Subcommittee on
Professional Education of the NVBSP was requested to review the achievements of the nominees and recommend the awardees. The task force on Local Blood Council added 2 specific criteria and formulated the requirements for fulfilling the criteria.
In the past years, Mindanao, especially South Eastern Region XI took the lions share of the awards, followed by the Visayan Regions. This may be correlated to the number of active blood program coordinators who have obtained the support of Local Government Executives.
This year’s awarding, Region VI ranks second to Region XI in the most number of awardees, 92 compared to the 130 awards of Southern Mindanao region. Out of these 92 awards, 90 come from Negros Occidental and 2 from Iloilo. This harvest of awards by Negros Occidental is due to the extensive campaign for voluntary blood donations by the provincial government, headed by Gov. Joseph Maranon and the Provincial ,City and Municipal blood coordinators in partnership with the city, municipal and barangay governments.
