“Being a serviceman, he appreciated the value of blood during emergencies and had been a regular door since 1954,” the organization also said. “If it were up to him, Pres. Ramos would have kept on donating blood, and Chairman [Richard] Gordon would fondly joke that his blood should be in a museum.”

Ramos, the Philippines’ 12th president, died on Sunday at the age of 94.
