Red Cross Youth
From December 28 to 30, 1974, the 1st National Red Cross Youth Congress was held at the Hall of Mercy of the PNRC Manila Chapter Building with the Theme: "Voluntarism: A Force in Nation Building." The Congress elected Mr. Ruben C. Angeles of Zamboanga City as the 1st National Red Cross Youth Council President. It was not until November 1998 that the NYC President was seated as a Member of the Board of Governors, the highest decision-making body of the Philippine National Red Cross, having then NYC President Crescente Abragan, representing the Red Cross Youth in the Board. Soon after, the Board approved having elected Chapter Youth Council Presidents seated as a mandated member of the Chapter Board of Directors, thereby representing the interest of the youth in the local level.
