Who would have thought that the Philippine Red Cross and the entire global movement trace their roots back to a single, bloody 15-hour battle in Italy?

Let us travel back to June 24, 1859, and see how the Battle of Solferino sparked a revolution of mercy that served as the DNA of every blood donation, every disaster response, and every life-saving act we perform today!

From March 12–20, 2026, the Bicol DRR Project team, together with the Albay-Legazpi Chapter and American Red Cross, conducted data collection for the Feasibility Study on Anticipatory Action for Volcanic Hazards – Mayon.

Volunteer enumerators carried out household surveys in selected barangays of Tabaco City, Malilipot, Guinobatan, Santo Domingo, and Camalig, alongside focus group discussions with farmers, livestock owners, small business and informal workers, and women and adolescent girls.

The Bicol DRR Project is committed to strengthening anticipatory action—taking steps before disasters strike—as part of its work on institutional disaster preparedness. One of the main goals is to develop an Early Action Protocol (EAP) for volcanic eruptions, with Mayon Volcano as the priority. While PHIVOLCS already provides strong monitoring and hazard maps, these scientific alerts are not yet directly connected to clear, pre-agreed humanitarian actions and funding at the community level. The project aims to bridge this gap, ensuring that early warnings lead to timely, organized responses that protect lives and livelihoods.
