donors were officials and men of the division as well as civilian employees of
the Philippine Army in Bicol and other soldiers from the various battalions
under the division like the 9th Civil-Military Office Battalion, 22nd CAFGU

A boodle fight was held among the soldiers and the donors as

need blood,” Depayso said.
