LUPANG HINIRANG JULIAN FELIPE Bayang Magiliw Perlas ng Silanganan Alab ng puso Sa dibdib mo’y buhay Lupang hinirang Duyan ka ng magiting Sa manlulupig Di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw May dilag ang tula At awit sa paglayang minamahal Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y Tagumpay na nagniningning Ang bituin at araw niya Kailan pa ma’y di magdidilim Lupa ng araw Ng luwalhati’t pagsinta Buhay ay langit sa piling mo.

Aming Ligaya Na pag mang-aapi Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo.

MESSAGE FROM ROTARY CLUB OF KALOOKAN NORTH PRESIDENT November 2023 I extend my heartfelt admiration for the unwavering dedication and transformative impact your organization continues to achieve. The commitment to service and the pursuit of positive change resonate deeply with me. Your diverse range of projects, from local community initiatives to global endeavors, exemplifies the Rotary Foundation's profound influence.

As we navigate the challenges of our time, your collective efforts shine as a beacon of hope, fostering goodwill and making a tangible difference in countless lives. The spirit of unity and service that defines the Rotary Foundation is truly commendable and serves as an inspiration to us all.

I am particularly impressed by the innovative solutions and sustainable development practices implemented across various projects. These initiatives not only address immediate needs but also contribute to longterm, meaningful change. It is evident that the Rotary Foundation is at the forefront of creating a positive impact on a global scale.

Your dedication to promoting peace, eradicating disease, providing clean water, supporting education, and alleviating poverty aligns with my own values and aspirations for a better world. The ripple effect of your endeavors extends far beyond the initial projects, creating a lasting legacy of compassion and empowerment.

In a world that often faces complex challenges, the Rotary Foundation stands out as a beacon of hope and a catalyst for positive transformation.

Your ability to bring together diverse communities, fostering understanding and collaboration, is a testament to the power of collective action.

I am honored to express my support for the Rotary Foundation and its mission. While my involvement may not be overtly visible, please know that I stand with you in spirit and share in the vision of a world where the principles of service, goodwill, and community prevail.

MESSAGE FROM ROTARY INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT November 2023

Gordon R. McInally President 2023-2024

Next year, Rotary takes a step toward supporting peacebuilding in the Middle East and North Africa region when recruitment begins for our newest peace center in partnership with Bahçeşehir University (BAU) in Istanbul. A series of events in the coming year will recognize the new center at BAU and Rotary's work to promote peace. The 2024 Rotary International Convention in May will mark 25 years since the first Rotary Peace Centers were announced — coincidentally at the Rotary Convention in Singapore in 1999. Recruitment for the first cohort of Rotary Peace Fellows at BAU also starts in 2024, and selected candidates will begin their program in early 2025. Since its beginning, the peace centers program has prepared more than 1,700 peace fellows working in more than 140 countries to create a more peaceful world. That is certainly worth celebrating, but Rotary Peace Fellows are more than statistics on a page. Their actions have helped Create Hope in the World and will continue to do so.

For example, Jennifer Montgomery and Gorett Komurembe — peace fellows from the program at Makerere University in Uganda — are co-founders of Magenta Girls Initiative. The international nongovernmental organization equips Ugandan girls and young women with the support and tools to overcome harmful gender norms, generational poverty, gender-based violence, trafficking, and trauma. Ndzi Divine Njamsi, another peace fellow who studied at Makerere, has taken lessons learned about Positive Peace and is sharing them with students of his own in Cameroon. He became interested in the Rotary Positive Peace Activator training program after witnessing extremism, online hate speech, and violence in Cameroon. Since completing the program, he has brought his lessons on peace to students at the Yaoundé International Business School and other organizations in the Central Africa country. The world needs more people like the graduates of the program at Makerere and our other peace fellows.

To that end, we can all advance peace by encouraging our local peacebuilders to learn more about Rotary and apply for this impactful fellowship.

Rotary members can also mentor candidates for the fellowship. Or you can work with peace fellows who have already graduated. They probably have an initiative or two that would benefit from your help. Our peace centers in North America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia depend on financial support as well. The program at BAU was made possible thanks to a generous gift of $15.5 million to The Rotary Foundation from the Otto and Fran Walter Foundation. This new Rotary Peace Center will offer a one-year professional development certificate in peace and development studies for fellows focusing on peacebuilding within the Middle East and North Africa region. Peace must be waged persistently; it is the soil where hope takes root. But as with any journey, we take one step at a time.

Let’s take those steps together.

CLUB PROFILE ROTARY CLUB KALOOKAN NORTH CHARTERED APRIL 29, 1991 Club Number : Charter President: : Sponsor Club : DGSR : : Meeting Day

27978 Carlos "Carling" V. Cabochan Rotary Club of Sampaguita Grace Park PDG Marcelina "Lina" A. Aurelio Every 1st and 3rd Friday of the Month | 6:00 PM (1st Friday - CVC Civic Center, CVC Plaza, MH Del Pilar St., Caloocan City)

With the consent of then District Governor Eduardo "Edi" N. Chua Co Kiong, the organization of another club in Kalookan was set into motion upon the appointment of then RC Sampaguita Grace Park President, PDG Marcelina "Lina" Aurelio by Governor Chua as his special representative (DGSR).

The organization of Rotary Club of Kalookan North, composed of young professionals and businessmen in Caloocan City was the brainchild of DGSR Lina. The first organizational meeting was held on 14 April 1991 presided by DGSR Lina Aurelio, with the presence of Governor Edi Chua Co Kiong and then District Secretary PDG Teddy Zamora and eight prospective members. The governor hosted the meeting.

Sailing was initially rough though, after tedious adjustment by the prospective members and series of Rotary Information given by DGSR Lina, DS Teddy, Extension Chairman Pres. San Juan and other notable Rotarians like PDG Nani Certeza and PDS Rudy Alonzo, the club become a reality. The provisional club was subsequently chartered by the Rotary International on April 29, 1991.

It was on April 14, 1991, during a regular meeting of the club that an election was held and the group finally came up with their Constitution and By-laws. Elected as Charter President was Carlos V. Cabochan of CVC Supermarket. The induction ceremonies of the Charter Officers and Members was held at the Valle Verde Country Club on August 03, 1991 marked the birth of Rotary Club of Kalookan North.
