The Philippine–New York Jaycees

Why is the Philippine-New York Jaycees Chapter specifically mentioned in the Jaycee Book as “Young Men

Can Change the World”? Because our Chapter was the first ethnic chapter in the world. Yes, these young

Filipino-Americans changed and continue to change the world. It took two years of debates in the highest levels

of the United States Junior Chamber (US Jaycee) and Junior Chamber International (JCI) to secure our charter.

Back then, Jaycees were formed only on the basis of well-defined geographical boundaries. It was then such a

revolutionary idea. Thus, right at the beginning, we made history and continue to do so.

Our Chapter was founded by a group of idealistic young men in the 60’s to serve the social and civic needs of

the then fledgling Filipino-American community. The same idealism was handed down from past Jaycee

generations to the present. The mantle of leadership has been passed on with an abiding sense of enthusiasm

and commitment. The Jaycee Creed, which represents our common belief in the common goodness and inherent

abilities in each individual, has successfully thrived in the hearts and minds of the Philippine-New York

Jaycees’ officers and members. A few events mark our Chapter. The first was our newsletter (ethnically named

in 1975) “Tambuli,” which continues to chronicle our Chapter adventures. The second is our ability to change

with the times (we were among the first chapters to admit women members.) The third is our common

desire to succeed which is the hallmark of strangers in a strange land.

We are proud to pioneer and continue to run projects beneficial to our members and community needs. We

welcomed the Democrats to their 1976 national convention. We organized and orchestrated the celebration of

Filipino culture at Lincoln Center. We supported Kid’s Day America, which taught children health & overall

safety awareness; and environmental & conservation knowledge. We continue to organize health fairs in the

community. We conduct personal, professional and career development workshops. We help run the New York

City Marathon by giving out water to the runners. We honor excellent community leaders (Distinguished

Service Award); conduct seminars for the youth through leadership excellence program (CLEWs); and

Outstanding Young New Yorker (OYNY) programs.

We support city and state programs (voters registration, recycling campaigns, census and immigration forums);

raise funds and conduct awareness programs for local, national and international groups benefiting among the

others – street children we are sending to school (Aksyon Agad); Amerasian children (Operation Giftlift); build

libraries for poor children (Walk Against Poverty); International Child Care Center; Our Lady of Peace Mission;

Little Sisters of the Poor; and the World Trade Center Relief Fund. We organize events (Simbang Gabi) to

commemorate Filipino tradition. We collaborate with other organizations such as Building Futures Together,

CORE and FAHSI. We proudly march and volunteer at The Philippine Independence Day Parade. We attend

meetings with our government leaders in Washington, DC. We are behind many events that benefit our

communities, our members and our world.

To date, we are the only young group in the community devoted to leadership training of our members and

the community through Business Development, Speak-Up, Financial Management, Personal Dynamics, Public

Relations, Communication Dynamics, Team Building Skills, Time Management, Write-Ups, International

Connections, Networking, and numerous community-oriented projects.

The organization of choice for young men and women from 18 to 40 years of age, our Chapter has turned out

Filipino-Americans who went on to become leaders in their own areas of expertise and organizations.

We are proud of the Philippine New York Jaycees. To whoever reads this history and whose idealism

continue to seek direction and purpose and a Creed to live by, come and be a part of the continuing legacy of

leadership and excellence.

Congratulations to the 2009 officers and new members of the Philippine

New York Junior Chamber, Inc. headed by 2009 Chapter President Elaine D.

Magalona-Dayoan.

My warm congratulations too to the 2008 team under Immediate Past

President Victor de Leon. The Chapter won many major awards in the 2008

New York State year-end Convention. Among them - the most-coveted Chapter

of the Year Award, and the Most Outstanding Local President and Vice-President

of the Year Awards.

I have great hopes for our Jaycee young leaders. I am sure that the 2009

team will create one more banner year for the Chapter. With all the planned

activities for personal and professional development and with the camaraderie

and bonds you will create among yourselves, there is no way but to let the

synergy explode into positive forces. The leadership training you will get in the

organization will surely propel you all to new perspectives and greater

advantages. The experiences, the challenges, the networking with the bigger

Jaycee community in the United States and in the world, the friendships- all

these will surely make this time of your lives truly memorable! And most of all -

will help make you better Filipino-Americans, better citizens in your communities.

Greetings Fellow Jaycees and Friends!

It is with much delight that I welcome you to The Philippine-New York Junior Chambers’ 46th Induction of Officers and Presentation of Members!

This induction marks a very significant beginning for Team 2009. As the year begins with many personal, professional and economic challenges; we can’t help but look back and remember similar circumstances our founding members went through 46 years ago.

1963 was a difficult but an exciting year for our founding members. Establishing our organization in a strange land was not an easy feat, more so maintaining and strengthening our chapter to reach its 46th year! Through all those years, The Philippine-New York Jaycees had its highs and lows but despite its many difficulties, the chapter and its members have remained true to its creed and have succeeded repeatedly.

The year 2009 poses a challenge for many of us. However, it is in these situations where opportunities arise. In these times when external resources are not readily available, the ability to shine and be better leaders are exceedingly abundant. That is why this year’s theme of ““UUnnlleeaasshhiinngg PPootteennttiiaallss”” is so fitting.

Turbulent times such as these call for creativity, resourcefulness and skill. Through our programs in the areas of Individual, Community & Management Development, Membership Services and International Affairs, we aim to provide our members with avenues to allow them to share their talents; to learn from each other; and to reach within themselves in order to develop their abilities; and most importantly, to UUnnlleeaasshh tthheeiirr PPootteennttiiaallss through the Jaycees!

Elaine D. Magalona-Dayoan 2009 Chapter President

March 14, 2009

Fellow JAYCEES; Distinguished Guests; Family; and Friends,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to The Philippine-New York JuniorChamber's 2009 Installation of Officers and Presentation of New Members.This is an annual rite and tradition, one in which we welcome and herald a freshgroup of exciting, young, and motivated individuals to take over the reins of thisstoried organization.

This is why it is such a significant event that is, greatly, anticipated with the arrival of eachyear; as with any new experience, there is much to look forward to--an opportunity to startwith a clean slate; build upon recent successes; learn from shortcomings; execute innovativeand bold ideas; and, simply, BE BETTER!

How fitting it is, then, that this ceremonial changeover of responsibility--and potential--is set tooccur just as we are perched on the doorstep of spring, a season of renewal and rebirth, andhow intriguing, as well, that this nation we call home has, recently, experienced its own seam-less transition, wherein a pledge was put forth to do what is necessary to effect positivechange in our society.

We, as this year’s incoming group of leaders, must make AND take that promise to heart aswell, if we are to build upon the greatness that has been achieved over the lifetime of thischapter’s existence. We cannot allow ourselves to become content and complacent, simply,because excellence is, often, synonymous with The Philippine-New York Junior Chamber; wehave to continue to persevere; be diligent; and remain focused on the challenges at hand.

As we look to the months ahead, I urge all of you, my fellow teammates, to act beyond thecall of duty; ‘go the extra mile’; and step up when the occasion beckons. For this is how thosewho follow in our footsteps, will be inspired to reach their own ‘spring’--a re-affirmation of thecontinuity of leadership--and, ultimately, drive each of us to stand head and shoulders aboveeveryone else.

Congratulations, officers, and Godspeed!

Yours in JAYCEE spirit,

Dear Fellow Jaycees and guests,

On behalf of the Senators, Ambassadors, Governors and Past Presidents of the Philippine New

York Junior Chamber, I would like to extend my congratulations to President Elaine Magalona-

Dayoan and to the rest of Team 2009. Each year presents unique challenges to overcome and this

year is made a little more difficult with the economic conditions around us. But through my years

of experience, I have come to realize that the Philippine New York Junior Chamber members

have always been able to rise up to meet challenges of the day…to achieve more with the limited

resources we have. Perhaps the most important aspect of the Jaycee experience is the personal

development that each of us undergoes.

The Jaycee experience is not for everyone but for those who do take an active role in this global

organization, they will come to realize how much of a better or different person they are. Many

Jaycee members have gone on to do great things with other organizations and other communities.

I hope that each of you will be able to share what you have learned to others around you so that

our world can be a better place for everyone.

As I see the culmination of my 16 years of active service to the chapter, I am thankful for the

opportunity to have served in various capacities. I have learned so much from my peers and guest

speakers through the years. I am proud to have developed the confidence to train others and best

of all, I am privileged to have traveled the world to meet motivated Jaycees just like me.

I am delighted that President Elaine has taken over the helm of leadership this year… being

President is never an easy job but by having a firm vision and a dependable and hardworking

team I have no doubt that you will achieve your goals this year. Each Vice President, Director

and staff officer plays an important role in the success of the chapter this year. We all have the

same 24 hours in a day to do things; it is in how you manage your time, your members, your

contacts & resources that guarantees success.

TEAM 2009, I wish you all the best during the year. The Senators, Ambassadors and Governors

as well as past presidents are more than happy to support you in your endeavors…all you have to

do is ask. Have a productive year!

Mabuhay ang Philippine New York Junior Chamber. Mabuhay tayong lahat.

Junior Chamber International

Junior Chamber International (JCI) JCI is the world’slargest leadership organization with a worldwide communityof young active citizens, ages 18-40, who share the beliefthat in order to create positive change, we must takecollective action to improve ourselves and the world aroundus.

Vision: To contribute to the advancement of the global communityby providing the opportunity for young people to developthe leadership skills, social responsibility, entrepreneurshipand fellowship necessary to create positive change.

Mission: To provide development opportunities that empower youngpeople to create positive change.

Values (The JCI Creed): We believe: That faith in God gives meaning and purposeto human life; That the brotherhood of man transcends thesovereignty of nations; That economic justice can best bewon by free men through free enterprise; That governmentshould be of laws rather than of men; That earth's greattreasure lies in human personality; And that service tohumanity is the best work of life.

JCI Logo:The shield symbol wasoriginally used by the USJunior Chamber torepresent “one whoprotects or defends.” Asactive citizens, JCImembers were and areexpected to protect anddefend their communitiesand the world.

Originally, the US Junior Chamber used a map of theUnited States inside the shield. When the organizationbecame international, the map was replaced by the globesymbol, which is a map of the world with the North Pole inthe center. It is the exact same globe symbol used in theUnited Nations logo. As one of the first non-governmentalorganizations with Special Consultative Status in the UN,JCI was given permission to use the UN symbol within ourlogo.

Each JCI Organization used a version of this mark withtheir organization name incorporated in their own way, untilin 2003 all Junior Chamber organizations were asked tounite under the name JCI and follow the current version ofthe JCI Corporate Identity Guidelines.

History:The Young Men's Progressive Civic Association (YMPCA)was formed in October 13, 1915 which grew tomembership of 750 in less than five months. 1916 saw a

name change, with the YMPCA becoming the 'JuniorCitizens', colloquially 'JCs' or 'Jaycees'. The St. LouisJunior Chamber of Commerce then asked them to adoptthe name 'Junior Chamber of Commerce'.

After World War I, the organization contacted similargroups in the United States. A pamphlet describing the 'St.Louis Plan' was sent in response to questions regarding thegroup and invitations were issued for a caucus. When theproceedings opened in St. Louis on January 21, 1920 with30 cities represented. A provisional constitution wasadopted until a convention could be held in June. With theadoption of a provisional constitution and the election ofofficers, the national Junior Chamber movement was born.Henry Giessenbier won election as provisional president ofthe U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce (USJCC) byacclamation, and was joined by other officers from St.Louis; El Paso and Dallas Texas; Terre Haute, Indiana; andSpringfield, Massachusetts. The 'United States JuniorChamber of Commerce' was established with 29 clubs fromaround the nation.

On May 14, 1925 Lincoln Junior Chamber JCI UK wasformed, thought to be the first Junior Chamber outside theUnited States. A Birmingham branch was formed in 1927,followed the same year by a Sheffield branch and by aNottingham branch in early 1928. By the time officials fromthe U.S. Junior Chamber visited England in 1928, therewere already eleven functioning chambers. In 1929,Douglas Jelley, President of 'Northampton Jaycees' visitedthe United States for the first time, which was followed by avisit by a delegation of three Sheffield Members led byW.G. Ibberson to the annual convention of the U.S. JuniorChamber in Brooklyn in 1930.

The first formal attempts to form an internationalorganization came at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in1932 when an International Executive Committee wasformed. However the U.S Junior Chamber was not surewhether this was a separate organization or one of theirown committees. The U.S. Junior Chamber official historydoes not record that the group evolved into anything morethan a loose grouping of member nations with the U.S.,Canada, England, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia andColombia. In 1936, at the national conference in Liverpoolrepresentatives from several countries determined to forman International Junior Chamber, but this appears to havebeen overlooked when JCI was eventually formed.

In 1940, a resolution was passed by JCI USA approving aprogram to further mutual interests among countries inCentral and South America. This led to the establishment ofJCI organizations in Mexico City, Guatemala City, ElSalvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and PanamaCity in 1943.

A meeting took place in Mexico City in December 1944which was billed as an Inter-America Meeting at whichrepresentatives of the U.S.A. and seven Latin Americancountries attended and it was at this meeting that the

decision to form Junior Chamber International (JCI) wastaken. It was resolved to hold a further meeting in PanamaCity in 1946.In 1944, the first international conference was held inMexico City. Raul Garcia Vidal of Mexico was elected JCI'sfirst President. The countries that originally formed JCIwere Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and the United States ofAmerica.

The First JCI World CongressJunior Chamber International would come into formal beingat the First World Congress in Panama at the end ofFebruary in 1946. It was attended by 44 delegates from 16different countries. Presided over by Erasmo Chambonnetof Panama, since JCI President Raul Garcia Vidal was illand unable to attend, the delegates approved a temporaryConstitution and set for themselves a list of purposefulresolutions which all in attendance agreed to follow.Erasmo Chambonnet of Panama was elected the secondJCI President at that JCI Congress, and Australia andCanada were officially affiliated.

In 1948, the JCI Creed was officially adopted at the IV JCIWorld Congress in Rio de Janeiro, and in 1952 apermanent JCI Headquarters was established. In 2002,after more than 30 years in Coral Gables, Florida, the JCIHeadquarters moved to Chesterfield, Missouri.

Area ConferencesEvery year JCI hosts regional meetings (known as 'AreaConferences') intended to give each local and nationalorganization of that area the opportunity to participate intraining, conduct regional and global business and addressglobal issues.

Team 2009

JayceesLeadership:UnleashingPotentials

Elaine Magalona-Dayoan

2009 Chapter President

Elaine Magalona-Dayoan is a well-disciplined, straightforward and

determined leader of one of the local chapters of the world’s largest

leadership organization – Junior Chamber International. Over the years,

Elaine has been an active and enthusiastic participant in the Filipino-

American community through her involvement in two organizations:

The Philippine-New York Junior Chamber (Jaycees) and University of

the Philippines Alumni Association in New York (UPAA-NY).

As an active U.P. alumna in New York, Elaine was a part of the team that

raised $10,000.00 for the Adopt-a-Scholar Project for the benefit of

current students in the University. Elaine was also a part of the team that

brought projects like Summer Fling, La Visa Loca Movie Premiere in

New York City, Champagne Brunch with University Chancellor and

Brunch with the University President. Elaine was the association’s

Secretary from 2006-2008 and was recently elected to the position of

Vice-President.

As a Jaycee, Elaine held a number of positions which she managed and

handled in a remarkable manner. Before becoming a Chapter President,

Elaine held the positions of Director, Individual Development Vice

President (IDVP) and Management Development Vice President

(MDVP) for two consecutive years. As an MDVP, Elaine supervised the

chapter’s biggest fundraising project (Spooktacular Halloween Jam) in

2006 which raised a significant amount of funds to help sustain the

chapter’s operations. In the same year, Elaine conceptualized and

supervised a highly successful life-coaching seminar, in collaboration

with The Philippine Consulate, which featured a team of coaches &

mentors from the International Coach Federation of New York City.

As an IDVP, Elaine supervised projects like Investment Seminar for

Young Professionals; Seminar on Leadership and Integrity; and Future

Officers Training Workshops focusing on topics such as Communication,

Life Management, Branding & Work-Life Balance. This seminar

featured speakers and experts from Animal Planet, Fox Broadcasting

Corporation & a three-time Olympian.

Through Elaine’s ability to motivate and guide members; her strong

leadership skills; and personalized approach, she has been recognized by

The Philippine-New York Jaycees and The New York State Jaycees as

one of its consistent achievers. The Philippine New York Junior

Chamber recognized her Most Outstanding Vice President of the Year

(2006) and Outstanding Vice President and Director (2007). In Region

South, she was presented with the Outstanding Rookie of the Year award

in 2005. In 2006, the New York State Junior Chamber presented Elaine

with the Outstanding Chapter Vice President award for the 2nd Quarter.

In addition, she was awarded with the Most Outstanding Chairman’s

Planning Guide for the project “Taking the Lead in your Life”, co-

written with Mary Reggie Rosales, in the 2nd Qtr of 2006. The

Chairman’s Planning Guide for the project Spooktacular Halloween Jam,

co-authored by Aprille Aquino, was judged as the Most Outstanding

Planning Guide for the Year. In 2008, Elaine was recognized as an

Outstanding Local Vice President in New York State for the 3rd Session

and Most Outstanding for the year.

As a Chapter President, Elaine is not planning to rest on her laurels. She

is determined to lead her team to yet another successful year. Although

she believes awards and recognitions are sources of encouragement and

motivation, Elaine puts a great deal of importance in bringing out the

best in each individual member and bringing them together despite

individual uniqueness. Elaine deeply believes in two lines of the Jaycee

Creed which say, “…That the Brotherhood of Men Transcends the

Sovereignty of Nation; and That Earth’s Great Treasure Lies in Human

Personality.” Elaine firmly believes that if each Jaycee is encouraged to

share his talent and ideas – whether it is creative, entrepreneurial or

professional – with another individual; and if they are given an avenue to

apply those talents and ideas in real-life opportunities, then the ability of

that Jaycee to become a good and effective leader is on its road to

flourish.

Elaine hopes that under her leadership, she can inspire Jaycee members

to realize their talents and reach out to unleash their potentials. Elaine is

determined to unleash the potentials of Jaycee Members so they can all

maximize their abilities, share their talents, and grow to become

innovative leaders of this community.

Elaine was born and raised in the Manila, Philippines. She acquired her

Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Communication from the

University of the Philippines and is currently working as a Human

Resources Professional at Nippon Life Insurance Company of America.

She is married to her best friend, Almor F. Dayoan and they live with a

feline named Tobi.

and since then she has been participating in different Jaycee projects.

She served as a Secretary in 2006 where she chaired two projects, one of

Chairman’s Planning Guide for the Spooktacular Halloween Event was

awarded by the state as Most Outstanding for the year. In 2007, she took

on the position of Community Development Vice President and in 2008

she was the Public Relation’s Officer. This year she is serving as

Management Development Vice President. For her, this position is very

challenging since it deals with the operation and managing of the

chapter.

three siblings of Arnel and Cel Piamonte. Her sister, Armi is also a

member of the chapter and is serving as a Director. Aprille is a graduate

Today, through Edwin’s diligence, chapter members can now appreciate

words such as “JOOMLA”, web marketing, reaching your audience and

unique visitors to a site…of course, keeping an eye on opportunities to

share the web space with our sponsors.

The chapter website has become the first place to engage potential and

current members. It has expanded its capacity to now include chats,

videos, forums, event planning and web based newsletter. New York

State took notice and this website was recognized as the best in the state.

It is now up for National awards consideration and may soon be a

contender in the worldwide stage.

Edwin was elected as 2008 director and web administrator and he will

continue to serve the chapter as 2009 IAVP. Although he usually does

not like being in the limelight, Edwin’s technical skills has helped to

Joe Valdez

Tambuli Editor in Chief

Born and raised in a remote barrio in the Philippines, Joe Valdez

immigrated to New York City in 1987 while he was still a little brat.

Over twelve years later, he made an enlightening journey to the

Philippines that changed his life. During his two-month visit, he

recognized that he was no longer connected to his roots as he became

aware of his ignorance of the language, the culture, the history, and the

natural beauty of his homeland. Despite having lived in the largest

Filipino neighborhood in NY, he had no Filipino friends and many of his

Pinoy peers may have found him to be one those “obnoxious Filipino-

Americans.” He returned from his trip as a proud Ilocano and was

committed to becoming more active in the Filipino community.

To serve his community, he found the Philippine-New York Jaycees

through the internet and was so eager to join, he paid for his membership

before attending any event or meeting any of the members. He even

attended his first Jaycee event, a Distinguished Service Award gala,

despite having a broken leg. Six years later, through the Jaycees, he

gained scores of wonderful Filipino friends and has networked with a

number of influential Filipino leaders who helped catapult his career in

Finance. The Jaycees have also had a major impact in growing Joe’s

personal skills, particularly his communication skills. He is currently the

Editor-in-Chief of the Tambuli, the chapter’s newsletter and he continues

to be a member to help his community and to meet new great friends.

Dear Jaycees and Friends:

All of us have memories; they are among our treasures. We

dream of having the written treasures we can keep, share with others,

our relations, and friends, and bequeath them to our heirs. I

therefore invite you to pen your memoir now, your autobiography, a

memoir of a turning moment in your life, recollection of your college

days, express love and gratitude to special people, create a poem,

share an important message or lesson learned in writing. With your

donations, they will be published in a distinguished hard cover,

glossy paged, art designed book for our children to keep and treasure. Welcoming the new

challenges for Philippine education in the 21st Century and with the New Charter, the premier

university of the Philippines needs our help through our "written treasures" bound as a coffee

table book which will be produced by nominal donation of benevolent benefactors like you.

Memoirs of UP Alumni Abroad netted a donation to UP of a total of $50,000.

For this all-inclusive project to produce Memories...a Legacy Gift which welcomes all

who wish to donate, the goal is $100,000, also an endowment fund which will award only

interest earned by the fund...a GIFT THAT CONTINUES TO GIVE, now and in generations to

come, to our children's children and beyond. Let's not put off till tomorrow what we can do

today...tomorrow may never come. And remember, it's in giving that we receive...the more we

give, the more we receive. Warmest regards, Menchee Dr. Carmencita C.
