The chapter has been training volunteers extensively to provide them an idea of how they can render their service to the community through the Red Cross. The Caloocan City Red Cross acquired its present lot on 7th Avenue, Grace Park at the compound of Tandang Sora Elementary School on May 15, 1970.

Every August, we commemorate International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Month, reminding us of the principles that uphold human dignity, protect civilians, and lessen the suffering brought by armed conflict. More than rules to be followed, these principles serve as a vital reminder that humanity must never be lost, even in the midst of conflict.

This year’s theme, “𝘗𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘢 𝘜𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘗𝘢𝘨𝘬𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘗𝘢𝘨𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘏𝘓,” emphasizes that protecting humanity is a shared responsibility. Through stronger connections and collective action, we can foster greater respect for humanitarian principles and ensure that those affected by conflict are treated with dignity, compassion, and care.

The Philippine Red Cross, through its Volunteers, Logistics, and Information Technology, continues to promote awareness of IHL, uphold respect for the emblems of humanity, and deliver neutral and impartial humanitarian assistance to communities affected by emergencies and armed conflict.

In line with the celebration of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Month with the theme “Pinalakas na Ugnayan at Pagkakaisa sa Pagsulong ng IHL,” the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Caloocan City Chapter hosted the 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬’ 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 conducted by the IHL Office on August 6–7, 2026. The two-day training aimed to strengthen the capacity of PRC Caloocan personnel and volunteers to become effective external communicators—equipping them with skills in delivering structured presentations, facilitating meaningful discussions, and speaking with confidence in public.

The training was made possible through the valuable expertise and guidance of 𝗠𝘀. 𝗠𝗮. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗶ñ𝗮 𝗟𝗲𝗮 𝗖. 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗼 and 𝗠𝗿. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗜𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗼 from the IHL Office. More than developing communication skills, the training strengthened the connection between knowledge, advocacy, and action—empowering our personnel and volunteers to communicate humanitarian principles more effectively and contribute to stronger coordination and better institutional representation.

As we celebrate IHL Month, may we continue to build stronger connections and deeper unity in promoting respect for International Humanitarian Law. Through effective communication, we can amplify the message of humanity, inspire understanding, and help advance a culture that upholds IHL in every community.
