In a powerful display of compassion and civic responsibility, Criminology students of UCLM stepped up as voluntary blood donors during the Bloodletting Campaign held on April 2, 2025, at the UCLM Annex 2 Social Hall.

Driven by their commitment to public service and community welfare, these future law enforcers embraced the opportunity to help save lives—one drop at a time. Their participation not only contributes to the life-saving mission of the campaign but also reflects the core values of service, empathy, and humanitarianism instilled in their criminology training.

This noble endeavor was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Mandaue City Police Office, Regional Maritime Unit 7, the Department of Health, and UCLM Cares.
