Whole Blood Donation is the most common type of blood donation. During this process approximately one pint of whole blood is donated. Each unit of whole blood is separated into 3 main parts: red blood cells, platelets and plasma.
Donating whole blood is safe and simple.
2. Double Red Cell Donation
Double red cell donors must also meet the following height, weight and hematocrit requirements:
During a platelet apheresis donation, blood is drawn from the donor's arm and delivered through sterile tubing into a cell-separator machine. Platelets are stored at room temperature for up to five days.

Run for Fitness and Wellbeing by: Chita
Dawn was barely breaking when I received a call from the energetic and enthusiastic secretary of Kool Earth Megs Lunn, who phoned me that Mayor William Lachica was already at the Kalibo International Airport, not to fly out, but to participate in Kool Earth’s fun run for the second year.
The message of this year’s event remains the same as for the previous year: to generate funds and to raise awareness in our effort to make Kalibo a cleaner and greener town. The categories were the same as last year. Male/female, 12 years old and under and Male open and Female open.
Twenty five local establishments generously donated money and gift items for the prizes. These include sixteen members of the Aklan Medical Society,Holy Father Diagnostic Laboratory, UVI Pharmacy, Mia’s Drug Store, Motus Pharmacy, St Jude’ s Hospital, Lind’s Dry Goods Store, Royal Supermarket, Avon Philippines, Bread & Butter/Filbakers, Cavanah Facial Centre, Pocydon Holdings/ Bakers Best, Bikers Club of Aklan, Aklan Valley Spring Water, New Visayan Commercial, LGU-Hon. William Lachica, Ms. Wendy dela Cruz Heap, Mr. Raffy Leyson of BPI, Barangay Poblacion of Kalibo, Mr Arnold Penalba, The Carpenter-Igharas, Mr. Nilo Vilmon, Mr and Mrs.Nedy and Ailyn Placer, Cheng Capua, and of course the TRI-MEDIA and the Aklan Press Club for the mileage.
Four hundred and eighty seven participants registered for the event, a few more than last year. Participants this year were: Bread & Butter, Star Glow,Mia’s Pharmacy, Philbikers, Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines,PNP Aviation Security Group, Wadeford, Vista Family, APPO, Numancia Integrated School, ASU-CIT. Philippine Army-Libas, Banga, Tigayon Elementary School, Alpha Phi Omega, Ati Bikers Club, OHM, Kalibo Fire Department, IJA Kalibo, Amigo Badminton, ACC, Javtes, NVC, St. Gabriel College, Tayco Family, Hilario Family, Pook Elementary School, Kalibo Elementary School, Garcia College of Technology, ANSHAT, Marian High , Aklan Running Club, St. Peter’s Life Plan and PYAP.
The winners of the fun run are: Female 12 years old and under; First Place- Marlin Icawalo (Kalibo Elementary School) our second placer last year. Second Place- Rizalie D. Pintor (Kalibo Elementary School) and third place- Jasel de la Vega (Pook Elementary School).
Female Adult: First Place- Jedelyn Sinda (Pook, Kalibo) Second Place- Cherry May Regalado (ANSHAT) and Minnie Florencio, third place (Tigayon, Kalibo).
Male 12 years old and under: First Place- Dexced Regalado (Malinao Elementary School) Second Place- Jefferson Remaldora (Kalibo Elementary School) and John Carlo Zausa, third place (ANSHAT)
Male Adult: First place- Gepe F. Santillan (NVC- he was also the winner of last years fun run) Second Place- Jayma Igis (ASU-CIT) and Nerry Zata – third place (ASU-CIT).
As we continue to offer up our time towards supporting Mother Nature, we slowly but surely awake the slumbering people of Kalibo. In some of the places that I pass by when going to the town centre, I saw people planting colourful plants in front of their houses and a street free from litter . I hope that before long we can achieve our aims for the future: As the saying goes, “It is not what we accumulate in this life, but what we have managed to discard.”
I offer my heartfelt thanks to Megs Lunn, our energetic and dynamic secretary, to Dr Felma de la Cruz for her hard work in finding donors. Also to Dr Cynthia de la Cruz, for all her donations and her moral support. Thanks is also due to all of the members and officers of Kool Earth- for their continued support, enthusiasm and commitment towards this noble cause.

Dengue Awareness
4S strategy against dengue.
1. Search and destroy possible breeding places of dengue-causing mosquitoes like flower pots, vases, discarded plastic bags, bottles, old tires, cans, earthen jars, coconut husks, roof gutters, water drums, and other containers that might hold clean stagnant water. Preventing dengue can be easier achieved by doing your part in keeping the environment clean. Change water in vases frequently. Make sure all water containers are kept covered.
2. Self-protection measures include wearing long sleeves or long pants. It is also best to avoid dark-colored clothes like dark shades of blue and black, as dark clothing has been observed to attract mosquitoes. Apply mosquito repellant on the skin to deter mosquito bites. Mosquito repellant lotions and liquid sprays are available on the market; however, parents are cautioned against using strong repellants on small children because of potentially harsh chemicals. There are organic mosquito repellant alternatives such as all-natural citronella bug spray. You can also use mosquito coils, electric vapour mats and mosquito spray during the daytime. Screens and mosquito nets are also good deterrents against mosquitoes.
3. Seek early consultation because dengue is crucial. See a doctor immediately if you show early signs and symptoms of dengue.
4. Say no to indiscriminate fogging. In the past, fogging was considered as a temporary solution against dengue-carrying mosquitoes. At present, fogging is only advisable and recommended when outbreaks and epidemics are positively determined in a particular area. Fogging can only kill the adult infected mosquito; it cannot get rid of the larvae, locally known as kiti-kiti. Indiscriminate fogging will only drive away other mosquitoes to other places to find new breeding grounds.

A COLLECTIVE CHANGE. (This article was originally published in HALA BIRADA. Author - Chita Dela Cruz Heap.
The first Materials Recovery Facility in Ati atihan town was inaugurated in conjunction with the Earth Day Celebration. It was given to Barangay Captain Rafael Anteza to open the event and welcome the attending guests, which he proceeded to do with vigour and with good humour. The event was then addressed by Ms. Vicky Ramos- Antonino, Co-Chairman of Provincial Tourism Council and the daughter of Godofredo Ramos, the Father of Aklan. She is a gentle, friendly lady upon whom anyone meeting her can rely. Her sincerity and her friendly manner are quite infectious but she is also a lady who does not beat around the bush. When she told one that she was going to pledge a large sum of cash towards Kool Earth’s MRF project, I did not expect to received it on the same day. Thank you Ms. Vicky.
Retired General Efren ‘E.Q’ Fernandez , President & CEO, Public Safety Benefit Mutual Fund, Inc., or EQ as his friends know him is also one of the mayoral candidates for the town of Kalibo, and in his message of support he said that in order for us to achieve something we must not look at how lowly our job but rather we should enjoy it and feel proud. ‘Think Big’ he said. He also mentioned that Kool Earth is not just about building a Materials Recovery Facility but also about building a community.
Barangay, Captain Jane Rebaldo also spoke, representing Mayor Raymar Rebaldo in his absence, and also Mr Glenn Sacapano, the hard working and very serious Provincial Consultant of MRF who has successfully established an MRF site on Boracay.The afternoon was enjoyed by everyone attending including a British national who is normally hesitant to attend such events because of the long speeches and repetitious introduction of guests. But the afternoon went without a hitch as all of the speakers seemed aware of the limited time and messages were kept brief but to a point.
These messages were followed by a demonstration by Mr. Sacapano on how to make slabs using shredded plastic, cement, and fine gravel. Everyone who saw the finished products were most impressed such that some of the guests present placed their own orders. Ms. Antonino pledged P10,000 pesos to Kool Earth whilst Retired General Efren ‘EQ’ Fernandez matched Ms. Antonino’s generous donation. My heartfelt thanks to you both.
A plaque of appreciation was presented to Mrs. Roberta Marte-Belveder for her generous offer to lend her land to Kool Earth so that barangay Pook can start to enjoy a plasticless environment. A further plaque of appreciation was presented to Mrs. Maria Luz Marte- Reloj for her hard work in acquiring the land, and for her financial support in helping to build the MRF site.
So many generous people came forward to help on the day, but I would like to mention one man who from the moment I opened the gate of the site was there performing various work in preparation for the afternoon event. Thank you Mr. Roger Leyson. We need more people like you in our village. The Precious Women, together with their Chairman Ms. Josephine Doroteo, Board of Directors, Mrs. Margeline de la Rosa and Mrs. Benedicta Malapad and Kalipi President Ms. Estrella de la Cruz and other KALIPI members turned up in their group to show their support for this noble cause.
How was the MRF established in Pook? Through sheer hard work, determination and dedication. Kool Earth is advocating that it is we,the people of this planet who have to change. If we want change to happen in our lives, then we should stand together and not be afraid of change, because whether we like it or not, we will change anyway. Kool Earth is challenging the people not just of Aklan but all those who read this message, to be brave and face all the challenges that come our way so that we can make this planet a wonderful place in which to live.
Kool Earth said that the people of this planet are precious, and that we are special and that we deserve the best, but it is up to every human being to deliver what is best for them. To those who Have participated in this noble cause, however small or big the effort that they have made , Kool Earth officers and members would like to express their appreciation for your effort. Please keep up the good work!
As the Earth Day organizers said, Environmental Security is the Highest Form of National Security. So let us help our public servants to keep us secure.
