In keeping with the spirits of volunteerism and compassion, the NAMRIA personnel, through the Bayanihang Bayan Desk (BBD), formally handed over the proceeds of the Puso para sa Marawi fundraising project to the officials of the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) in a simple ceremony held at the NAMRIA Fort A. Bonifacio office in Taguig City on 02 October 2017. The turnover marks the culmination of the “month-long” fundraising activity through the Miss NAMRIA Bayanihang Bayan (NBB) contest. Ms. Liberty L. Caluya of the Mapping and Geodesy Branch was proclaimed Miss NBB 2017 last 29 September.
