SERVICE TO OTHERS, PROMOTE INTEGRITY AND ADVANCE WORLD UNDERSTANDING, GOODWILL, AND PEACE THROUGH OUR FELLOWSHIP OF BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL AND COMMUNITY LEADERS WE PROVIDE

TOGETHER WE SEE A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE UNITE AND TAKE ACTION TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE ACROSS THE GLOBE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND IN OURSELVES

These principles have been developed over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and direction. They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other and the action we take in the world.

As a Rotarian, I will: 1. Act with integrity and high ethical standards in my personal and professional life 2. Deal fairly with others and treat them and their occupations with respect 3. Use my professional skills through Rotary to mentor young people, help those with special needs, and improve people’s quality of life in my community and in the world 4. Avoid behavior that reflects adversely on Rotary or other Rotarians

5. Help maintain a harassment-free environment in Rotary meetings, events, and activities; report any suspected harassment; and help ensure non-retaliation to those individuals that report harassment

Rotary’s Core Values represent the guiding principles of the organization’s culture, including what guides members’ priorities and actions within the organization. Values are an increasingly important component in strategic planning because they drive the intent and direction of the organization’s leadership.

We believe that our service activities and programs bring about greater world understanding and peace. Service is a major element of our mission. Through the plans and actions of individual clubs, we create a culture of service throughout our organization that provides unparalleled satisfaction for those who serve.

We believe that individual efforts focus on individual needs, but combined efforts serve humanity. The power of combined efforts knows no limitations, multiplies resources, and broadens our lives and perspectives. Fellowship leads to tolerance and transcends racial, national and other boundaries.

We believe Rotary unifies all people internationally behind the ideal of service.

We encourage diversity of vocations within our membership and in our activities and service work. A club that reflects its business and professional community is a club with a key to its future.

We are committed to and expect accountability from our leaders and fellow members, both in the results of our efforts and in the processes we use to accomplish our goals. We adhere to high ethical and professional standards in our work and personal relationships. We are fair and respectful in our interactions, and we conscientiously steward the resources entrusted to us.

We are a global fellowship of individuals who are leaders in their fields of endeavor. We believe in the importance of leadership development and in leadership as a quality of our members. As Rotarians, we are leaders in implementing our core values.

Amen.

“SERVICE ABOVE SELF”

Much like the Bamboo, Rotary Club of Rizal Premier is …

Resilient - we rise above any adversity; we had our share of difficult moments as a Rotarian but we were able to bounce back and more without losing our ground as Rotary is deeply rooted in our hearts.

Strength - “What looks weak is actually strong” Barely 2 years, our Club is as vibrant as most experienced clubs Flexible - we bend but we do not break; we adapt to the many challenges of being a Rotarian, of doing good and of service above self.

HENRY Q. CARDINEZ

The first 3 weeks of my Presidency have been very productive. Many thanks to all your support.

As tradition dictates, we managed to have our opening service project for this Rotary Year 2021 - 22 by celebrating it with kids of Sitio Halamanan. At the same time, we handed out covid protect kits for the “Nanay” in the family.

We were privileged to connect with Cullion Foundation who were more than willing to provide Mobile Chest X-Ray for free to our chosen beneficiaries. The first was at Kaulayaw Café, wherein we were able to serve 127 beneficiaries, mostly construction workers and riders plying the route of Sumulong Highway in Antipolo. We had our 2nd of a series of ACF (active case finding) / End TB program, again with Cullion Foundation, thanks to Duane Mojica. Beneficiaries were Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) of National Training School for Boys (NTSB) in Tanay. Covid Protect kits were also given to the staff and mentors of NTSB. A week after, we began another series project. We conducted our first Live Blood Analysis / Medical Consultation in one of the Church Ministry in Cainta.

In between and thereafter are zoom meetings, inductions, seminars and training, virtual that is. I am not a computer geek but I am learning especially during this pandemic times where everything is done virtually. On the same note, I understand all your fears and humbly ask that you join me during our virtual meetings.

We still have to finalize our Club Plans and Programs but more or less the gist and direction is clear and precise.

Bear with me, Be with me in this beautiful journey of Rotary. Together, let us serve to change lives.

Club turns masks to bricks Posted on July 7, 2021

Rotaract Club of Dhaka Orchid has been collecting and cleaning used masks and gloves to mix with cement and create new products from the waste.

By Abdullah Al Fahad, Rotaract Club of Dhaka Orchid, Bangladesh

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented us with a new environmental challenge. Every month, more than 120 billion disposable masks and gloves are being thrown out, with some of them polluting our land and water.

Our Rotaract club, like many, is concerned about the environment. Emboldened by Rotary’s newest cause, protecting the environment, we decided to do something about this problem. We began a recycling effort which we called our Clean Earth project to collect masks that were littering our streets, parking lots, and other common areas and find a way to reuse them.

Medical experts have said that the virus can survive up to three days on an object. We place the masks that we pick up in a locked room for three days.

Then we bleach them and wash them with detergent over a period of 24 hours. We dry them in sunlight, then tear them into smaller pieces and mix them with cement. We use this mixture to create planting containers filled with soil, which we plant trees inside.

We have also made bricks with the mixture and find it stronger than regular bricks. We are planning to use the bricks to build toilets in rural areas. We are working with other clubs to expand our effort, perhaps creating a recycling center where people could bring their used masks, and we could employ other people to help us turn them into bricks and other products.

As much as 13 millon tons of plastic makes it way into our oceans every year. Masks often contain plastics such as polypropylene with a lifespan of hundreds of years. Rotary members are creative and innovative, and we are sure that with some thought, other clubs could join us in finding ways to convert glove and mask waste into usable commodities. Let’s protect this planet of ours while we embrace Rotary’s newest cause.

United States After hundreds of Rotary clubs in Zones 33 and 34 provided millions of meals to community members in need during the inaugural year of their Feed 10 Million initiative in 2019-20, District 6910 in northern Georgia is serving up a generous portion in the food drive’s second year. As of late April, the district had provided more than 2 million meals. District 6910 coordinated with the Farmers to Families Food Box program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which was designed to address the waste of produce that was left to rot in fields as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, says Randy Redner, a past president of the Rotary Club of Duluth, Georgia. “The food is paid for by the government. We provide the organization, the volunteers, and the connectivity in the local community to make sure it goes to the people who need it.”

Lithuania To lift the spirits of health workers responding to the pandemic, members of the Rotary Club of Vilniaus sv. Kristoforo treated the staff of Vilnius City Clinical Hospital with pastries “to make them feel appreciated and, hopefully, make them smile a little more often,” says club member Giedrius Sulnius. Over the course of 10 Fridays concluding in late March, the club ordered 600 pastries, at a cost of $825, from a local bakery.

“We cannot visit medics, but we can help them feel appreciated,” Sulnius says, while noting that documenting the “Smiles for Doctors” project proved to be a challenge. “As soon as someone tried to take a photo, the pastries were already gone.”

2ND REGULAR MEETING 21-Jul-21

CLUB HANDOVER / MOA SIGNING 31-Jul-21

For many of us, apart from our families, Rotary is closest to our hearts. After all, it is the greatest Humanitarian Organization of all time. Much as we love and care for the family, Rotary loves and cares for the community. Much as we give and share to every member of the family, creating a loving and enduring relationship, Rotary gives and shares to the community, creating a positive and lasting change.

While Rotary Clubs are thriving in Rizal Province, it did not stop us from forming a new club especially when there are still communities that needs to be served. The opportunity to start a new Rotary Club was right in front of us, ours for the taking and definitely was our best option, given the circumstances.

Fully determined and equipped with a common purpose, we had our first informational meeting on August 23, 2019 with no less than District Membership Committee headed by Past District Governor (PDG) Luizito “Genlou” C. Ticman and New Club Adviser, Past President (PP) Juan Martin “John” Barredo.

We were honored to have not just one but four Sponsor Clubs, who will ensure that Rotary Club of Rizal Premier achieve its great potential through its strong foundation of membership, service and fellowship: RC East Rizal, RC Cainta, RC Lakeshore Rizal and RC Suburban East Rizal, thus making our success rate 4xover. It was on 13 September 2019 when we decided on and came up with our Club Name: ROTARY CLUB OF RIZAL PREMIER … a name that impeccably describes the strength, flexibility and vibrancy of our Club.

Starting off with 14 Rotarians, former and existing, we were determined to gain charter strength and was challenged even more. Our gains were verified with a series of Rotary learnings on the Basics of Rotary spearheaded by PP Jeng Liban, under the careful watch of our New Club Adviser, PP John Barredo.

13 September 2019, Fourteen (14) Charter Members 03 October 2019. Twenty-Three (23) Charter Members 23 October 2019. Thirty (30) Charter Members.

By 12 November 2019, Charter Documents were submitted to SEAG / NCA John Barredo and was immediately recommended for chartering to District Chair for Membership PDG Louie Ticman, thereafter to District Governor Nelson M. Aspe and eventually was forwarded to Rotary International.

14 November 2019. While we await official chartering of our new club, planning for our very first Humanitarian Service Project ensued, a Medical, Dental and Optical Mission. As Rotary Connects the World, Rotary Club of Rizal Premier have established connections with various stakeholders: Megawide, Hon. Michael John “Jack” Duavit who gladly agreed to be an honorary member, Provincial Government of Rizal, Rizal PNP Provincial Health Office, Barangay Government of Barangay Dolores, Taytay, Rizal, to name a few.

23 November 2019. After a month of preparation and even before our official charter, the first Humanitarian Service Project of Rotary Club of Rizal Premier came to reality. A Medical / Dental / Optical Mission for at least 400 beneficiaries of McDonald’s Village, Brgy. Dolores, Taytay, Rizal. With the generous support, financial and otherwise, of our valuable Humanitarian Service Project partners: MEGAWIDE Foundation, Hon. Rebecca A. Ynares, Hon. Micahel John R. Duavit, Rizal PNP. Barangay Dolores, Taytay, Rizal, Hon. Allan Martine S. De Leon, Hon. Kaloy Dabalos, Dr. Battag, CP Monaliza / PP Jun Cabitac, Treasurer Concepcion R. Viray and Rtn. Roy Dela Cruz 04 December 2019. Chartering of Rotary Club of Rizal have yet to become official and as we await, our passion to serve continues as we conduct our very first Club Strategic Planning.

And it happened.

By 07 January 2020, Rotary Club of Rizal Premier is now officially a Charter Club of Rotary International under District 3800 with Club ID No. 90676 and with 30 Charter Members. We now have a clear vision of our purpose.

And now begins a series of many firsts: 1st Board of Directors Meeting, 10 January 2020. We proudly presented the result of our Club Strategic Planning to Assistant Governor Melbert B. Reyes.

1st District Activity, 11 January 2020. We were warmly welcomed by DG Nelson M. Aspe @ the 3rd Breakfast Meeting of Champion Presidents and recognized as District 3800’s, 101st Rotary Club.

1st Regular Meeting, 15 January 2020. We had as special guest, District Chair for Annual Fund Giving, CP Manny Reyes who shared his knowledge on the value of giving to the Rotary Foundation and assured him of our efforts to become an EREY and Sustaining club, with all members giving to the Rotary Foundation and with CP Monaliza B. Cabitac, PP Fernando R. Cabitac, Jr. and Dir. Geraldine R. Marte becoming Paul Harris Fellows.

1st District Activity, 18 January 2020. Proudly, Rotary Club of Rizal Premier was presented in a ceremony befitting of a New Club. Many thanks to PP Armi Delas Alas Quibael, District Chair for 3rd Mass Induction. Fourteen (14) Charter Members were inducted by no less than DG Nelson M. Aspe and witnessed by District Chairman for Membership, PDG Louie Ticman, District Vice-Chairman for Membership, PP Ruby Reyes and District for Membership Extension, PP Jess Tan, other District Officers and Champion Presidents.

1st Rotary Award, 27 – 28 February 2020. Golf Enthusiasts SAA Pedro “Ading Zapanta, Low Net Champion and PP Fernando “Jun” Cabitac Champion – Group 2, in the 8th Philippine Rotary Open sponsored by the Philippine Rotary Friendship and Golfing Fellowship (PRFGF), an annual two-day golf tournament with 10 Rotary Districts of the Philippines.

Privileged and honored many times over, Rotary Club of Rizal Premier had its much awaited Charter Presentation, 04 March 2020, days prior to lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have limited our movements but this did not stop us from doing what we all love to do: of answering the call to serve and to serve above self; and of Doing Good in the World. We have responded accordingly and our Being a Rotarian, now more than ever, is given more meaning and fulfillment.

EXPLORE OUR CAUSES https://www.rotary.org/en/our-causes Promoting peace Today, over 70 million people are displaced as a result of conflict, violence, persecution, and human rights violations. Half of them are children.

Rotary creates environments where peace can happen.

Fighting disease We educate and equip communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases like polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. We improve and expand access to low -cost and free health care in developing areas.

Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene We support local solutions to bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to more people every day.

We don’t just build wells and walk away. We share our expertise with community leaders and educators to make sure our projects succeed long-term.

Supporting education More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.

Protecting the Environment Rotary members are tackling environmental issues the way they always do: coming up with projects, using their connections to change policy and planning for the future.

Saving mothers and children Nearly 6 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. We expand access to quality care, so mothers and their children can live and grow stronger.

Growing local economies We carry out service projects that enhance economic and community development and create opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old. We also strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.

Support our causes When you give to The Rotary Foundation, you are directly supporting Rotary’s work. Your gift makes our service projects — projects that eradicate polio, promote peace, and develop communities — happen.

OUR FOUNDATION https://www.rotary.org/en/about-rotary/rotary-foundation

The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.

Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.

With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.

Our mission The Rotary Foundation helps Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty.

What impact can one donation have?   

For as little as 60 cents, a child can be protected from polio. $50 can provide clean water to help fight waterborne illness. $500 can launch an antibullying campaign and create a safe environment for children.

Give where the need is greatest When you give to The Rotary Foundation, you fuel our service projects - projects that eradicate polio, promote peace, and improve developing communities.
