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 January 2024

As we kick off another exciting Rotary year, I am honored to serve as your President and lead our club towards new heights of impact and service. One of the cornerstones of Rotary's mission is Vocational Service, a fundamental avenue that embodies our commitment to ethical conduct and leveraging our professional skills for the greater good. Vocational Service is not just a category on the Rotary roadmap; it is the heartbeat that connects our diverse professional backgrounds into a symphony of service. It is a reminder that, beyond our regular vocations, we have unique talents and expertise that can be harnessed to address the pressing needs of our community.

This year, let's focus on the essence of Vocational Service by: 1. Showcasing Professional Excellence: Each one of us brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. Let's inspire one another by showcasing the excellence in our respective professions. Share your achievements, lessons learned, and best practices within the club.

2. Mentoring the Next Generation: Our commitment to vocational service extends to nurturing the future leaders in our fields. Take on the role of mentorship, guiding young professionals and students as they navigate the intricacies of their chosen careers.

3. Ethical Leadership in Action: As leaders in our vocations, we have a responsibility to model ethical behavior and leadership. Let's actively promote and embody the high ethical standards Rotary stands for in our workplaces and communities.

4. Collaborating for Impact: Explore ways to collaborate with fellow Rotarians on projects that leverage our collective professional expertise.

By working together, we can create sustainable solutions and amplify the positive impact we make in our community.

5. Recognizing Vocational Achievements: Celebrate the accomplishments of members who demonstrate outstanding dedication and excellence in their professions. Acknowledge their contributions and let their stories inspire us all.

Our commitment to Vocational Service is not just a duty; it is an opportunity for personal and professional growth. It is a chance to make a lasting impact by utilizing our skills and expertise to uplift those around us. I am confident that, as members of this vibrant Rotary family, we will embrace Vocational Service wholeheartedly, making this year a testament to the transformative power of our professions united in service. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to Rotary and the principles of Vocational Service.

Together, let's make this year a remarkable chapter in our collective journey of service.

MESSAGE FROM ROTARY INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT January 2024

Gordon R. McInally

President 2023-2024 In difficult times like these, it’s impossible to avoid feeling heartbroken over the devastation and loss of life caused by war and destruction. Rotary always stands against harming and displacing civilian populations and using armed aggression instead of pursuing peaceful solutions. We advocate for the observance and respect of international law. We believe in strong action to defend and promote peace, even in the darkest of times. But we also take our position as an international, nonpolitical, nonreligious organization seriously. To respect the global perspectives and experiences of our members, and to work most effectively in our peacebuilding efforts, we do not choose sides in conflicts. Rotary is made up of 1.4 million people in communities all over the globe who are united in our commitment to building a peaceful world. We strive to ensure that our words and actions prioritize the health and safety of our global membership and the communities where we live and serve. Our members seek to offer humanitarian assistance to those affected by conflict, and our global reach requires that we promote peacebuilding and conflict prevention with cross-cultural, cross-border connections and friendship through Rotary. For decades, Rotary has harnessed these connections to carry out service projects, support peace fellowships and scholarships, and establish programs like Rotary Peace Centers to help build lasting peace. Our members also take action to promote Positive Peace, addressing the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, discrimination, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources. Rotary members who wish to wage peace can use district grants and Rotary Foundation global grants to support projects with other Rotary members that help refugees and displaced people, provide medical support, and more worldwide. Members can also work with or join peace-focused Rotary Action Groups, Friendship Exchanges, Fellowships, and intercountry committees. And District Designated Funds or district cash can support our peacebuilding and conflict prevention efforts. Members and nonmembers alike can learn more about peacebuilding through the Rotary Positive Peace Academy, a free online course available to anyone with an internet connection. You can find it at positivepeace.academy/rotary.

There is no denying that incidents of violence and atrocities being perpetuated around the world seem to be escalating. Global peace is fragile, and the stakes are getting higher. Still, we know that it is possible to bring all people together to work toward a shared goal.

Rotary members do so every day in every part of the world.

May our ability to unify in common purpose be a spark that helps light the path out of these dark days.

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.
