According to the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), the agency that operates light rail services in Manila, it received a Plaque of Appreciation from the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Pasay City Chapter on November 8, 2026. The recognition honors the agency's continued support for the organization's humanitarian missions.
What the award recognizes
The plaque was presented at an event at Le Parc Event Hall in Pasay City. According to LRTA, the recognition covers its contributions through a range of activities, projects and training programs that back Philippine Red Cross humanitarian initiatives.
LRTA was represented at the ceremony by Public Relations Division Manager Evelyn P. Janeo and Safety and Security Division (SSD) Manager Jimmy L. Chua, who received the plaque on behalf of the Authority.
Blood donation drives at LRT-2 stations
One of the continuing efforts cited is a partnership with the PRC to hold Mobile Blood Donation Drives at LRT-2 stations. According to the agency, these drives give passengers, railway personnel and other members of the public an accessible way to donate blood, which helps address the need for safe and adequate blood supplies.
The source does not give dates for specific drives, the stations involved beyond the general reference to LRT-2, or the number of donors, so those details are not covered here.
Wider public service role
According to LRTA, the recognition reflects its commitment to public service beyond railway operations. The agency says it supports humanitarian programs, promotes volunteerism and works with partner organizations to serve communities and people in need.
