Dear Lord,

We thank You that our Club has reached 46

years, which we are celebrating tonight. With

Your guidance and inspiration we hope to

continue through another 46 years of

friendships, wholesome respite from the rigors

of work, and of service to society.

Amen.



MY ROTARY DAY Adapted from “Beautiful Sunday”

Thursday morning, I’m up and about

I think I’ll take a walk in the park

Hey, hey, hey, it’s a wonderful day

I’ve got someone waiting for me

When I see him I know that he’ll say

Hey, hey, hey, it’s our Rotary day

Hi, hi, hi, wonderful Thursday

This is my, my, my, Rotary day

When you say, say, say, say that you’ll meet me

Oh, hey, hey, hey, it’s our Rotary day

Birds are singing, you by my side

Let’s take a car and go for a ride


We’ll drive on and follow the sun

Makin’ Thursday go on and on










(Lyrics adaptation by PP Peter)



of the things we think, say or do:

1. Is it the TRUTH?

2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER

FRIENDSHIPS?

4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of

service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage

and foster:

First : The development of acquaintance as an

opportunity for Service;

Second : High Ethical standards in business and professions;

the Recognition of the worthiness of all useful

occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s

occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

Third : The application of the ideal of service in each

Rotarian’s personal, business and community life;

Fourth : The advancement of international understanding,

goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of

business and professional persons united in the ideal

of service.



Pres. Ogie Lim

Fellow Pasig Rotarians:

Welcome to the 46th anniversary of the Rotary Club of Pasig!

Home of the father and son AKS society members, and the RI

Director nominee!

I asked PN John Javier, the Chairman of this year’s preparation, to

make this event as frugal as possible. So, please bear the Spartan

celebration. I have always believed that organizations should give

more focus to making a difference in the society than anything

else. Although fellowship is an integral part of any organization,

here in RC Pasig, at least during my term, it is not the end of all

means.

I invited our partners in service to join us tonight. As of this

writing, they have not confirmed their participation, but I

requested the Eastern Police District (EPD), the Anti-Drug

Council of Pasig (ADCOP), the Pasig City Institute of Science and

Technology (PCIST), Barangay Pinagbuhatan, the RCC,

Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasig, Rizal High School and the PCA

Metroplitan Chapter to have their officers over, as our guests.

They are the vehicles to which we can channel our resources in

bringing hope to our less privileged brothers and sisters.

I hope that our celebration tonight will be fun and meaningful to

all of us. I look forward to seeing you all next year when we

celebrate our 47th anniversary.

Mabuhay ang RC Pasig!!

ROGELIO “OGIE” SP LIM

All Star President

Rotary Year 2016-2017



PP Benny P. De Guzman

Tinig condoles with spouse Toti on the demise of charter member

Gus L. De Leon. Gus was similar to PPs Rhett and Sonny who

joined their respective companies in the lowest rank and within a

reasonable time, rose to the top position of CEO, without being

related to any of the owners.

After his stint with RFM where he started as a junior officer, in

Personnel, he rose slowly but surely, and, after his Masters Degree

soon joined sales and, in no time, was VP Marketing. Toti and Gus

had nine children all accomplished performers.

His daughter Mitch texted from Copenhagen about the demise last

Sunday yet. Six children already arrived per info. You may have a

chance to pay your respects because funeral Mass is Saturday yet.

I am reproducing a text entirely from PP Chris Portillo of Pasig

East: “The SPED (Special Education)’s GOT TALENT show

features children with special needs (with autism, Down’s

syndrome, and, visual impairments, with intellectual difficulties

and the blind). Special guests are international award winning

singer, Ms Thara Marie Santiago (with autism), and, on the spot

painter, Mr. Chad Stamatelaky, whose painting will be auctioned.

Chad and his wife Melay adopted a son who is a victim of war

from Iran, who is blind and deaf. They opened KIDS HOPE

MINISTRY THAT ADOPTS AND FEEDS ALL KINDS OF

STREET CHILDREN. They currently have 17 poor children

living at home with them. The objectives of the February 11 show

are: 1. To generate awareness for the children with special need to

the general public. 2. To raise funds and to generate sustained

support for the children,




Continuation 1.

especially for their livelihood projects to make them more

productive members of society”.

When we had spouse Cota Yabut as guest and speaker, she

acknowledged many in our club who financially assisted. Raffy

who was building his financial empire then, PP Esto and Tom, the

father of Chris and his namesake. Chris made his passion to help

these talented kids by convincing IPDG Jun to have the show for

the Discon last year and plenty, including RIDN Raffy paying

good amounts for worthy projects of these kids.

On 11 February at 7:00 p.m. is their show at Valle Verde Country

Club. A Php1,000.00 ticket covers the cost of buffet dinner and the

show. It may be a good gesture to have our sister club members,

and, their team to this dinner. A club sponsored one, or, by groups

of five be sponsored by well meaning Pasig Rotarians.

Incidentally, the fire in the belly of PP Chris shows the Rotary in

him is on high pitch. May those with keener interests in their club

work a win win formula. Can we pray the Our Father more

meaningfully and before we ask for forgiveness, learn to forgive

others?

There is a luxury cruise from Manila to Laoag to Taiwan to

Hongkong and back. IPP Ner is keenly interested. There is no

hidden agenda here but an introductory price of US$500 plus some

costs. Some extension of the fellowship a la Conrad’s birthday

bash may be organized.




Continuation 2.

Those who fail to plan are invariably planning to fail. Incoming

Prexy Dr Jess showed his plans and discussed to the fullest details.

Many, like former Health Secretary Ike Ona, new transferee

Butch, and, many others volunteered. Wait a minute, increase

membership first.

Special mention to Rtn. Manoj, the prodigal Rotarian who

attended last meeting. He promised to attend regularly from now

on. PP Peping was asking Director Bebert to bring back his dad to

the club. Better sponsor a more dedicated one. In Rotary, the best

is yet to be.

INCOMING ROTARY PRESIDENT CHALLENGES CLUBS

TO MAKE A DIFFRENCE

Rotary International President-elect Ian H.S. Riseley made the

case on Monday that protecting the environment and curbing

climate change are essential to Rotary’s goal of sustainable

service.

Riseley, a member of the Rotary Club of Sandringham, Victoria,

Australia, unveiled the 2017-18 presidential theme, Rotary:

Making a Difference, to incoming district governors at Rotary’s

International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA.

Environmental degradation and global climate change are serious

threats to everyone, Riseley said. “They are having a

disproportionate impact on those who are most vulnerable, those

to whom Rotary has the greatest responsibility. Yet environmental

issues rarely register on the Rotary agenda,” he said.

Environmental degradation is one of the major threats listed by the

UN’s High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change.

Riseley added, “The time is long past when environmental

sustainability can be dismissed as not Rotary’s concern. It is, and

must be, everyone’s concern.”

PP Jun C. Zafra

Continuation 1.

The president-elect challenged every Rotary club to make a

difference by planting a tree for each of its members between the

start of the Rotary year on 1 July and Earth Day on 22 April 2018.

Trees remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the

air, which slows global warming.

“It is my hope that the result of that effort will be far greater than

the environmental benefit that those 1.2 million new trees will

bring,” Riseley said. “I believe the greater result will be a Rotary

that recognizes our responsibility not only to the people on our

planet, but to the planet itself.”

Securing Rotary’s future

In his address to the 2017-18 class of district governors, Riseley

also urged clubs to improve their gender balance and lower the

average age of their members.

Only 22 percent of Rotary’s members are women, up from 13

percent 10 years ago. At that rate, Riseley said, it will take another

three decades for Rotary to achieve gender parity.

We know that we can do more together than we could ever hope to

do alone.

“Three decades is far too long to wait to achieve a Rotary that

reflects the world in which we live. We need to make it a priority

now,” he said.

Noting that 103 of the 539 incoming governors are women,

Riseley said they are the type of women we need in Rotary,

“leaders who will help Rotary connect with, and represent, and

better serve, all of the members of all our communities.”



PP Jun C. Zafra

Continuation 2.

Riseley also believes it is imperative that clubs find ways to attract

and engage younger members. Today only 5 percent of reported

members are under 40, and a majority of members are over 60,

Riseley told the audience.

“Consider what Rotary stands to look like 10 or 20 years from

now if we don’t get very serious, very soon, about bringing in

younger members,” Riseley said.

Clubs will make a difference this year through their own decisions,

said Riseley, but it will take teamwork on a global scale to move

Rotary forward and secure its future.

“We know that we can do more together than we could ever hope

to do alone,” he told incoming governors. “I ask you to keep that

spirit of teamwork and cooperation always in your minds and to

take it back with you to your districts.”
