The Dugtong Buhay Movement is comprised of the DBM, Philippine Red Cross, Philippine Coast Guard, and the Philippine National Police.

Aligned with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s Bagong Pilipinas agenda, the bloodletting drive emphasizes the importance of community support for those in need, especially during emergencies.
The activity also upholds Republic Act No. 7719, or the National Blood Services Act of 1994, which promotes voluntary blood donation to ensure a safe and adequate blood supply.
