I find many traditional Chinese values reflected in Rotary: values
of service and responsibility, of respect for family and for others.
Sometimes I call Confucius the world's first Rotarian, because
even though he died 2,500 years before Rotary was founded, his
ideas are very much Rotary ideas. And one of the things he said
was: 與其抱怨,不如改變.
In English, you say, "It is better to light a single candle than to sit
and curse the darkness."
I think that one line sums up the way we in Rotary approach
the problems of the world. There is so much difficulty. There are
so many people who need help. Many people look at this and say, "There is nothing I
can do." So they do nothing -- and nothing changes.
But this is not the Rotary way. The Rotary way is to light a candle. I light one candle, you
light one candle -- and so do 1.2 million other Rotarians. Together, we can do so much
more than we could ever do alone. Together, we can light up the world.
In 2014-15, I am asking each of you to light your own Rotary candle -- and Light Up
Rotary together.
There are so many ways to Light Up Rotary. I hope many of you will choose to host a
Rotary Day, to show your community what Rotary is and what we do. I hope you will
involve your Rotaract and Interact clubs in your service, to bring the new generation of
the Rotary family closer to Rotary membership. And I hope you will keep Rotary strong by
inviting new members into Rotary – including your own spouse and family.
Perhaps the most important thing we can do to Light Up Rotary is to finish the job we've
been working on for more than a quarter of a century: the eradication of polio. We are
so close to our goal. But we will get there only if we keep up the fight, keep up the
momentum, and close the funding gap for the polio endgame plan.
Light Up Rotary is our theme for this year, but it is more than just a theme. It is how we in
Rotary see the world and our role in it. We believe that no one should sit alone in the
darkness. Instead, we can come together, all 1.2 million of us, to Light Up Rotary. This is
our goal -- and my challenge to you.

The induction of officers has a deeper meaning and far-
reaching positive consequences than we would like to
believe. Leaders are the keys to the success of the
organization.
Public affirmation of the trust and confidence in them is a
basic element that helps create the basis for commitment
and ignite in them the fire of leadership.
In fulfilling this purpose, we find the ideal venue and
atmosphere in the club induction. The club induction
provides the perfect occasion for the exchange between
public trust and confidence and acceptance of a leader‟s
mandate.
It is here where we draw the line of responsibility and acknowledge the significance of
leadership in the organization. It is here where we draw the line between mediocrity and
excellence.
It is therefore my great pleasure to greet the Rotary Club of Pasig West as they affirm their
trust and confidence in Best Class President Charleton “Charlie‟ N. Atienza and his team
in their induction of officers for RY 2014-2015.
And in this light I urge President Charlie and his team to give the best of themselves in
their pursuit of excellence as they “Light Up Rotary.”
Congratulations!

As we have closed our year to “Engage Rotary, Change
Lives", Lady Ruby and I would like to thank you all for having
accomplished the tasks that you set out before the start of
the last Rotary year.
I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate First Class
President Jojo Delos Santos for a job well done. Your
enthusiasm and hard work brought your club to where it is
today.
On the occasion of your 17th Induction Ceremonies, it is my
pleasure to greet all the members and spouses of the Rotary
Club of Pasig West and also to welcome your new set of
officers and directors for the Rotary Year 2014-15.
This year‟s theme of “Light-up Rotary” is a reminder to all Rotarians to foster harmony by
way of building bridges with our fellowmen of whatever race, social and economic class,
faith or ideology in any manner we can. I am confident that your new set of club officers
headed by Best Class President Charlie Atienza will remain aggressive not only in
promoting our theme, but also in pursuing our advocacies.
With District Governor Marilou, who has a renewed sense of hope and optimism at the
helm, I am positive that you shall all bring about change in the lives in our communities. I
encourage you all to continue translating your passions into relevant social causes, for us
to advance and fulfill the Object of Rotary.
Wishing you all another fruitful and enjoyable Rotary year of service.
Congratulations!

The Rotary Club of Pasig West is headed this year by a next
generation Rotarian. Best Class President Charleton “Charlie”
Atienza did not grow up listening to Rotary stories from his parents.
But he married Cookie who grew up listening to Rotary stories
from her father. Both dentists by profession, President Charlie and
First Lady Cookie live a fairly quiet life until Charter President Den
Somera called upon son-in-law Charlie to play an active role in
the Rotary Club of Pasig West. A loving husband and a
gentleman, President Charlie did not have second thoughts in
accepting the challenge given to him. These are also traits that
will guide him through his new role.
Rotary is like a mirror. It reflects your outlook in life and at work. If you are in Rotary
because you just want to be connected, it is most likely that you will end up being
connected to another fellow whose sole purpose in joining Rotary is to be connected
too. Chances are you may meet someone who will fall below your expectations. But if
you are in Rotary to help, inspire and make a difference in someone's life, then chances
are you will be inspired and be helped too by another Rotarian who shares the same
passion as yours. Both your lives will be touched as you touch other people's lives. The
comparison is magnified when you enjoy Rotary with your spouse. Being a Club President
is never easy. But being a Club President supported by his/her Spouse makes a lot of
difference. The challenges and difficulties they will face and overcome during their term
will enrich their relationship and will make it even stronger.
We wish President Charlie with First Lady Cookie all these and more as President Charlie
LIGHTS UP ROTARY! He will lead his club to new heights, worthy adventures, and
greatness.
Congratulations to all the officers and members of the Rotary Club of Pasig West. May
your tribe increase.

To my friends in service,
My sincere best wishes to all of you and congratulations to all the
club officers as they are installed for this new Rotary year 2014-
2015.
Let us take this opportunity once again to renew our commitment
to the timeless principles and ideals of Rotary.
I am counting on your proactive leadership to create awareness
among club members of important Rotary issues and to motivate
your club into action.
As you commence your 17th year as a Rotary Club, new officers will be inducted who will
carry on the torch of service to the community. Their lives will be an exciting endeavor
but a fulfilling one as well. At the end of the day, one will always be comforted by the
fact that other people‟s lives have improved for a much brighter tomorrow.
I wish you all the best!

Greetings to all members of the Rotary Club of Pasig West on the
occasion of its 17th Induction ceremonies.
Thank you to the members of the Rotary Club of Pasig West for their
invaluable support during my term as First Class President. Our club
members were always there to give their unwavering support and
helping hand in accomplishing the club‟s projects. Indeed, RCPW was
able to engage rotary and change lives.
The incoming theme of Light Up Rotary best suits our incoming President Charlie. He
started giving light by putting up RCPW‟s website/ blogsite. With this, RCPW is able to
reach more people, opening new doors, new lights.
To quote from Lao Tzu, “ the journey for a thousand miles start with a single step”.
Congratulations President Charlie, with your leadership, RCPW will be able to light up
people‟s lives in our community.
Luceat Lux!!!

It is with a humble heart, but with great honor that I accept the
position of President of the Rotary Club of Pasig West. Although
the duties and responsibilities of such a position may seem
overwhelming, I hope to take on these challenges and see them
as opportunities for further learning and self-growth; for genuine
humanitarian service; and best of all, an opportunity to establish
lasting friendships.
Being an educator and a healthcare provider for almost 20 years,
"Service Above Self" may have already been a creed I tried to live by. But it is by being a
Rotarian, being a part of a group of individuals who share the same mantra that has
made it more inspiring and empowering.
A brotherhood has once taught me to live a life based on the principles of “Truth, Reason
and Justice”, and now the Rotary's “4 way test” has even further fortified these principles.
I hope that these ideologies will continue to motivate all of us to look beyond the
challenges and inspire us to be sparks of change to the world out there.
As a part of the “Best Class Team” tasked to “Light Up Rotary” this year, I am truly thankful
for the honor and privilege.

The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that supports the
efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace
through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange
programs. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians
and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
The Foundation was created in 1917 by Rotary International's sixth
president, Arch C. Klumph, as an endowment fund for Rotary "to do good in the world." It has
grown from an initial contribution of US$26.50 only to more than US$55 million. It is one of the largest
and most prestigious international fellowship programs in the world.
Paul Harris Fellows
Individuals who have contributed more than $1000 to the Annual Program Fund, the Polio Plus Fund
or the Humanitarian Grants Program of the Rotary Foundation are recognized as Paul Harris
Fellows. Additionally, individual Rotary clubs may from time to time honour individuals as Paul Harris
Fellows. These honourees are individuals who meet high professional and personal standards set
forth by Paul Harris. Paul Harris recognition is not limited to Rotarians. A Paul Harris Fellow receives a
special certificate and a gold pin. At the discretion of the Fellow's club, the Fellow may also
receive a gold medallion on a blue-and-gold ribbon. Multiple-time Paul Harris Fellows are
recognized as they continue to contribute. (PHF +) Additionally, Paul Harris Fellows receive
recognition points which they may contribute towards the recognition of other members as Paul
Harris Fellows

C L U B S E R V I C E Due to the decline in membership in the past rotary year, it is now the main priority of the
Rotary Club of Pasig West for the term 2014-2015 to strengthen the club internally by
significantly increasing the number of members, as well as improving the club‟s retention
rate through several proposed programs and projects. One of the main objectives is to
be able to attract at least 5 new members, in support of the RI President and District
Governor‟s Challenge to the Best Class Presidents of recruiting between 2 – 5 new
members. This will also merit a presidential citation for the club of achieving a net gain in
membership of more than 10%. This will all be made possible through the following:
1. Enrichment Programs for Members – This program aims to motivate and provide the
members a more significant purpose or reason to be present and regularly attend weekly
meetings. Enrichment activities, such as short talks by guest speakers, short workshops
and seminars and other activities that may provide continuing education and
productivity to members. Certificates of attendance will be given to the members who
will be present during the said enrichment activities as an additional factor for
motivation. An online calendar of Activities will be posted in the club‟s website. This
calendar can easily be accessed by the club members at any time and will be
configured to send automated notifications and reminders of planned activities thru
email.
2. Fellowship Activities – To foster camaraderie and team building among club members.
May include but not limited to the following: Spouse Night, Dinners, Movies, Plays and
Theatres, Sports and Recreation, Special Interest Group Hosted activity. Members
celebrating their birthdays will be posted on the RCPW Website.
3. Membership Fees - To provide the members a more organized, planned and
convenient payment scheme for Rotary Fees. This includes a Deferred Scheme and
Program of Payments. A systematic way of Reminders and Notifications on due dates
for fees will also be implemented.
4. Friends of Rotary Club of Pasig West - To establish partnerships and affiliation with
individuals and other organizations, businesses and institutions. Individuals may be invited
through The RCPW Social Media Page Each member should be able to propose at least
1 potential partnership with a group or organization. Potential partnerships should be
presented to the members and will require approval of the board.
5. Special Interest Groups - The objective of forming these groups is to determine,
establish and develop common interests among members as an avenue for team
building. It may also serve as a means of discovering and attracting potential members.
This may involve honorary members, Spouses, family Members, Friends and Co-workers.
These special Interests may include: Sports, Music, Hobbies such as Photography,
Dancing etc…

Since the RCPW has been established in 1999, its commitment to the youth has long
been an important part of the club through the support it provides to several interact
clubs in the nearby communities and schools. RC Pasig West will continue to provide its
unwavering support to these clubs and further promote the Rotary New Generation
service through the following plans and programs:
1. Attracting New Generations through the Social Media –
The purpose is to attract the youth by making Club
Information available through social media. This can be
done by establishing a strong online presence and
eventually enhance the club‟s image through the use of
the most popular forms of social media such as:
Facebook, Twitter and Blogspot. Interact clubs should be
involved by creating linkages between their own social
media sites and RCPW‟s. Interaction between the Interact members and RCPW
Rotarians will be highly encouraged. It would also be important to involve Family
members most especially the member‟s children, nephews and nieces in helping
disseminate and spreading club information through facebook “likes”.
2. New Generation Clubs and RCPW Involvement – The aim is to build awareness among
members on New Generation Activities of Rotary and
therefore consequently develop interaction between
RCPW members and the Interact Clubs. This will entail
actual involvement of Club members in District and
Zone New Generation Events and Activities. It is also
important to increase awareness of Club members
on New Gen Activities, and the most convenient and
efficient form is through the blogsite and social
media. This will in turn promote continuous interaction
between the Interact members and RCPW members through these online activities.
3. Scholarships - Support the youth by providing financial educational assistance to
selected students.

C O M M U N I T Y S E R V I C E With RCPW‟s Vision of promoting the club‟s adopted motto and age-old Filipino tradition
of “Bayanihan” (the spirit of serving others), the club will continue to push for its
commitment of supporting and providing service projects in nearby communities in order
to empower and improve the lives of individuals and families. The Rotary Club of Pasig
West aims to complete the following community projects for this year:
1. Online Oral and Dental Health Education Resources for Filipinos through its TOOTH AIC
Project: The Online Oral Treatments and Health Awareness Information Campaign
(TOOTH AIC): The main objective of this project is to spread information about oral
health by harnessing the power of popular social media: specifically through
facebook, twitter and blogspot. It is a known fact, that oral health information
websites are already abundant in the internet, but what makes this project different is
that the content that we will be offering our readers is in Filipino. Our goal is to get a
combined total of 10,000 likes from all the sites. These 10,000 likes may translate to
the number of people this project may have an impact on. Although "Disease
Prevention and Awareness" is the main area of focus of this project, it may also be
considered as a Public Image campaign. We have already started with facebook
directly linked to the content in blogspot, the site is entiled "ngipin atbp..." [Project
has been launched and started: http://ngipinatbp.blogspot.com and
http://facebook.com/pinoyngipin ]
2. Involvement in Public Oral Health Education talks: The objective is to help concerned
organizations and groups improve the nearby communities‟ awareness on oral and
dental health. This may be done by establishing partnerships and by coordinating
with Medical and Dental organizations in holding these events. Another venue is
through a possible guesting in radio or TV programs involved in spreading health
awareness. [Accomplished: August 31, 2014 from 11;00 to 12:00 at DZRH in the show
“Ang Galing Mo Doc”]
3. Involvement in Medical/Dental Missions – RCPW will support specific Medical and
Dental Civic Actions and initiatives in communities in need of such services. This may
be done by establishing partnerships, support and coordinate with Medical and
Dental organizations in holding these events. [Update: Initial talks with the UP College
of Dentistry Dental Health Brigade led by Dr. Ian Ermita and the UPCD Student
Council]
4. Information Campaign of Disaster Preparedness at the Family Level (Specific to
Earthquakes) – The objective of this project is to Improve awareness and
preparedness of families in nearby communities to earthquake response through
proper information dissemination using information cards and brochures as well as
using the internet and social media. There will be a need to establish a Partnership
with “Pinoysagip Blog site”. Partnerships will be made with organizations such as Red
Cross, Phivolcs or NDRRMC in developing and producing downloadable printable
posters or illustrated cards on the basics of preparing their own families on how to
properly respond to earthquake disasters. Such information will be made
downloadable in the Internet through the RCPW website and social media. Interact
will help disseminate the information.

5. Information Campaign on Reef Conservation and Protection Awareness (Anilao) -
Help Improve the awareness in the protection and Preservation of Coral Reefs using
the same platforms as the other 2 previously mentioned information campaigns.
6. Character Transformation Project - This project is an allied effort to arouse interest in
addressing today‟s imminent threats to society such as corruption, crime, moral
decadence and other social malaise spawned by low morals, values or ethics that
springs from a weak character foundation. The areas of focus that may therefore be
addressed directly or indirectly by this Project may include conflict prevention, basic
education and community development.
The project will be divided into Phases:
a. beginning with a symposium on the urgency of character transformation and
the 11 Principles of the character transformation entitled “Character
Transformation: One School at a Time” (A Rotary project to help schools and
parents develop people of good character.)
b. It will then be supported by implementing Rotary Awards on Character
Transformation (This will be a program of recognizing schools and teachers –
just like granting an ISO certification or stamp of recognition – as Centers
and/or Agents of Excellence for Character Formation.)
This program offers the different clubs in the Zone a ready project they can
implement in the promotion of Rotary‟s “The 4-Way Test” and “Core Values”- to meet
the mounting challenge to provide effective solutions to ethical and academic issues
in private and public schools such as bullying, cheating, truancy, and dropout rates
and the building of a moral community.
Other club members‟ involvement in the project may include:
Undertaking efforts to solicit support and participation of Administrators/
Principals, District Supervisors, and other relevant Department of Education
officials.
Involvement in the selection process of recognizing and awarding of teachers
and schools, by acting as members of the selection committee and/or as
final judges.
The Character Transformation Program will be a joint project between Zone 6 and
the Character Education Partnership Philippines (CEP) led by its current President, Mr.
Emmanuel “Manny” M. Rentoy. Mr. Rentoy will also serve as the resource speaker for
the symposium. The educational institutions that are targeted by this program are
those schools within Zone 6.
The project will be done annually targeting at least 3 schools per year. Evaluation
forms will be distributed and collected after each symposium, and will be used to
further improve and strengthen the program.
[Update: Established Partnership with CEP educational Institutions; September –
Implementation Develop a Project Plan for Review and Implementation
(Completed)]

7. Work Readiness Program for Persons with Disabilities: This is a joint initiative between
the Rotary Club of Pasig West and the Holy Family Parish group of volunteers. The
project aims to teach sign language to enable the deaf/mute to communicate. It
will also provide them an opportunity for training so that they may acquire
appropriate skills in the work place. The target beneficiaries are residents of Brgy.

In support of Rotary International‟s goal of enhancing Public Image and Awareness,
RCPW will exert efforts in helping to promote the Rotary brand by using both the
traditional as well as new popular forms of internet and social media. The club will
establish a strong Online Presence which may be accomplished through the following
plans and projects:
1. The RCPW Website: The main objective is to make information about the club
available to the general public through an official website. A website will serve as a
window that allows the public to have a peek of what RCPW is all about. The
content of the website will feature information about the club‟s history, vision and
mission, projects and activities. The chosen platform will be in a form of a BLOG,
which currently is one of the most widely viewed type of website platform because of
its simplicity and ease of navigation. [Accomplished:
http://rcpasigwest.blogspot.com]
2. Communication: Establish a convenient and effective form of Communication
(among and) between the members and the public aside from traditional mobile
text messaging and calls. A repository of RCPW public files, videos, photos,
documents and other resources that the public may access and download will be
set-up. An “Online calendar” of the club‟s activities will be integrated on the RCPW
website which will provide automated email alerts and notifications to members. This
will also be useful for the public and will allow them to get involved if they become
interested. [Accomplished: RCPW Calendar integrated on the website, FB page
public and FB Private Group].
3. Social Media: The Club will establish a strong online presence through the use of the
most popular forms of social media. An automated interconnectivity between the
RCPW Website and Social media pages will be established using available online
applications. Official posts on the website will automatically be published on the
club‟s social media pages. A campaign of inviting people to like and link-up with the
social media page and blog will be launched in order to widen its reach. Another
strategy is to establish partnerships with several websites and blogs and allow the
posting of RCPW‟s and Rotary‟s logo as an ad campaign. [Accomplished:
pinoydental.com, reefsters.com, pinoysagip.blogspot.com ]
4. Promotional Materials: Promote and enhance the image of the club through
promotional materials such as: videos, music, photos may be posted on the website
and social media pages such as facebook, twitter, youtube and the like.

THE OBJECT OF ROTARY
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.
AVENUES OF SERVICE
For years, Rotary‟s commitment to Service Above Self has been channeled through the
Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of club activity.
• Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning
of the club. Learn about effective club service in Membership and Training .
• Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and
to practice high ethical standards. Observed each October, Vocational Service Month
spotlights Rotary club projects related to this avenue, offering opportunity for clubs and
districts to use their professional skills in service projects.
• Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve
life in its community.
• International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary‟s humanitarian
reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace. Rotarians can
support International Service by sponsoring a project in another country, seeking
international project partners to support projects in their own communities, or by
personally volunteering at an international project site. Visit the ProjectLINK database to
post a project in need of assistance, find projects to support, or learn about successfully
completed projects to replicate.
• New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and
young adults through leadership development activities as RYLA , Rotaract and Interact ,
service projects, and creating international understanding with Rotary Youth Exchange .
DIVERSITY AND ROTARY
Rotary International recognizes the value of diversity within individual clubs. Rotary
encourages clubs to assess those in their communities who are eligible for membership,
under existing membership guidelines, and to endeavor to include the appropriate
range of individuals in their clubs. A club that reflects its community with regard to
professional and business classification, gender, age, religion, and ethnicity is aclub with
the key to its future.

The Rotary Club of Pasig West was a club waiting to be
organized even before it came about. There was a
renewed campaign to address the unsettling concern
– believe it or not - on diminishing membership growth
and retention.
This campaign was stirred by a worldwide movement
that rippled down to the districts of Rotary. But it took
that fateful encounter between then DGGR-DGSR PP
Felicito “Fil”O. Guba of the Rotary Club of Pasig South
and consequent meeting with then DG Antonio “Tony”
B. Co on August 27, 1998 to set into motion the organization of the club. Digging deep
and wide in his circle of friends and associates, CP Den worked on recruiting prospective
charter members. He invited friends, neighbours, colleagues and even casual
acquaintances but known by their professional and/or business reputation.
The Rotary clubs of Pasig South and Pasig North sponsored the club‟s application for
membership with Rotary International.
On February 24, 1999, the Rotary Club of Pasig West was approved to the rolls of
membership with Rotary International as Club No. 51757. Thus, as it happened, the Rotary
Club of Pasig West was born out of the challenge to grow Rotary in RY
1998 – 1999, fittingly under the RI theme to “Follow Your Rotary Dream.”
RCPW Welcome Song* : “R.O.T.A.R.I.A.N.”
Rotate the wheels of Rotary
Over this land across the sea
Traverse the walls and boundaries
Among us in this hall today
Rotate the wheel of Rotary
In service to all humanity
And foster friendship and brotherhood
Noble and true for the common good
* otherwise called “The Rotarian Hymn”
(Hymn background: “This song was shared by the Rotary Club of New Manila East, the
club‟s first sister club. It was composed by its member, Gamaliel “Gamy” Viray, a known
personality in the performing arts . Since then, it is sang by the club to greet one another
and receive guests in the spirit of brotherhood and fellowship.”

Core Values
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.
Service
We believe that our service activities and programs bring about greater world
understanding and peace. Service is a major element of our mission. Throughthe plans
and actions of individual clubs, we create a culture of service throughout our
organization that provides unparalleled satisfaction for those who serve.
Fellowship
We believe that individual efforts focus on individual needs,but combined efforts serve
humanity. The power of combined efforts knows no limitation, multiplies resources, and
broadens
our lives and perspectives. Fellowship leads to tolerance and transcends racial, national,
and other boundaries.
Diversity
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.
Integrity
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.
Leadership
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.
All of these core values are reflected in the Object of Rotary and The Four-Way Test,
which we use in our daily lives. They inspire us to foster and support the ideal of service for
developing and maintaining high ethical standards in human relations.
