Club Profile
|
Its now more than a quarter of a century since a group of Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Mandaluyong organized a new club for the Municipalities of Pasig and Pateros, then within the Mandaluyong club's jurisdiction. A charter list within 29 names was sent to RI and on January 18, 1971, a charter formally recognized the RI President signed the new club. The Rotary Club of Pasig was born.
Of the original 29 charter members, 5 are still members of the club. Two others, the charter President Jose V. Angeles and Augusto De Leon are honorary members. All in all, since the beginning, a total of 251 business and professionals have at one time or another joined the club as members and has developed friendship over two and a half decades. Many have come and gone.
During its first years in shopping around some projects to undertake, the club made some tentative efforts to tackle the drug abuse problem. This was soon given up with the declaration of Martial Law in September 1972 and capital punishment threatened on the more serious drug offenders.
The first major lasting monument to these community service effort was the setting up of free pre-school for indigent children, the first during the term of Julio Francis (RY 73-74) at Barrio Rosario and the second at Barrio Pinagbuhatan under the presidency of Esto Lichauco (RY 74-75). Since then, we have maintained a Kinder School including a feeding programs in Bgy. Pinagbuhatan.
Prominent among the club's continuing contributions to the community are the scholarships, especially at the Rizal High School. The number of scholars supported by the club during any one year has varied. In the mid-1980s, the whole scholarship was rationalized, systematized and intensified, especially its selection and monitoring aspects. To date, we are supporting 46-50 scholars at Rizal High School.
In spreading the ideals of Rotary, the club has organized directly four other Rotary Clubs within Pasig, that of RC Pasig South in May 1982, that of Midtown Pasig in May 1985, that of Pasig East in 1988 and that of Valle Verde in June 1991. The second has since died out, but the other three are thriving. Meanwhile, 4 other clubs have been established in Pasig, the RCs of Ortigas Center, Pasig North, Pasig Sunrise and Pasig West. A ninth club, that of Mutya Ng Pasig was recently chartered.
Considering the age and size of the club, the Rotary Club of Pasig involvement beyond the club to district affairs has not been intensive and extensive. But the club has done its part. It has produced one district governor, Dr. Miguel V. Ampil, who serves as such in 1983-1984. Several past presidents have been active in district activities assisting governors over the years. The club hosted District Assembly on June 25-26, 1976 at the Green Valley Country Club, and the two District Conferences in February 21-23, 1980 at the PICC and again in March 1-3 at the Valle Verde Country Club. In the 1980 District Conference, the club put together and published a monumental compilation of Rotary Readings, a very useful compendium of all Rotarians.
In the area of International Service, the club has established so-called sister club relationships. One of the earliest was the Rotary Club of Marugame City, Japan in 1976. Several others followed. There is a thriving relationship with the Rotary Club of Hongkong Sunrise, RC of Ansan East, South Korea, together with a local club, RC of Downtown Batangas City which have donated counterpart funds for us to carry our tour feeding programs for our kindergarten children. We have been exchanging visits with them every year.
Yes, after more than 30 years, the Rotary Club of Pasig has made a difference. In all this, an important foundation has been laid with solidity, and that is the organized friendship forged among businessmen and professionals who have become members of Rotary. From this, much benefit will hopefully continue to accrue to the community in years to come.
