E d i t o r ’ s N o t E s

I was a rookie Rotarian when I at-tended my first District Conference in 1989 at Boracay, when Gabi Viterbo was Governor. It was a great experience. I was instantly integrated into the club. I learned more about Rotary, in the few instances that I attended the plenary sessions and listened to the speakers. I came to know Rotarians from other clubs. But most of all, I enjoyed the kind of fellowship that is unique in Rotary–in and out the plenary halls.

I have attended several other DisCons, and all of them have been special, in their own way. Some of them have been memorable to me like the DisCons at Dakak (2000, PDG Lando Vil-laruz); Roxas City (2001, PDG Henz Reyes); and Bacolod City (2002, PDG Phil Abello and 2005, PDG Nanette Garcia).

Club Presidents will always remember the DisCons when they were president. For me, it was in 2003 at Zamboanga City, when Boloy Mendoza was Dis-trict Governor.

In 2007, after 18 years, the 3850 Dis-Con came back to Boracay during the term of PDG Ramon Locsin. During that time, we were hosts–but it was as enjoyable as the first time.

April 12th is fast approaching and the DisCon Fever is rising. Club Presidents are feeling a little bit relaxed now, after completing and submitting their ac-complishment reports, but most will be excited and eager, as they would expect some awards or have some participation in the programs.

For some, it would be their first time; and each of them will have different expectations. Like my first DisCon at Boracay, I was never disappointed, because I came there with simple expectations–to enjoy the fellowship of Rotary! See you at the DisCon!

APRIL 2012 3

I cried when I learned that PDG Ross Castillo, the District Gover-nor during my term as president

in RY 1993-94, passed away. I felt it was as if I lost a father. He reminded me of the struggles I had during my year of leadership—losing a mother, shifting my career to private practice, planning for my wedding, and the loss of business and clinic from fire. He was my comfort every time he wrote me to hang on and push some more with all the projects and transforma-tion I did to my home club.

I remember not attending the DIS-CON ‘94 Awarding Ceremony in exchange for a sure bed in the boat bound for Iloilo with my spouse, Fe who was heavy with our first child, Yanna. When VP Mike Bagonoc came rushing in with the Outstanding Club trophy in hand, my happy feet wanted to jump with joy if only they could. I kept on looking and touch-ing it, so proud of myself and my club, throughout the half-day trip.

The theme, “Believe In What You Do,

Do What You Believe In”, became one of my guiding principles in life. It was a very timely theme, and surprisingly congruent with our present theme: Reach Within To Embrace Humanity.

So, here comes 2012 District Confer-ence, and this time, at my helm. It is with great pleasure that Fe and I open our arms in welcome to all the Rotarians, partners-in-service, and to our valued guests to the most awaited event of the Rotary year.

It was, indeed, an experience plan-ning on the many details for almost two years, together with the different committees concerned. We poured out hard work for its realization. We should, because for one, the DISCON will bring us together. It will be one big fellowship after almost a year of hard work in the name of service.

It is through this event that we will enjoy the revelry of our original, colorful and lively festivals in the district. Five clubs will showcase the festivals of their locality in the Open-ing Ceremony. During the Plenary Sessions, we have a credible list of speakers to guide us through with Rotary information, and to help us reach more within ourselves with the insights they’ll share. Of course, the six Rotary’s Got Talent contestants will perk us up with their lung power in between topics. There will be more camaraderie during the Governor’s Ball highlighted with our best pairs of ballroom dancers. On the last day, our Business Meeting will guide us with our direction as a district.

We will also have the chance to show-case our clubs with the booths in our House of Friendship, and the Spouse

Program, which we plan to be an un-forgettable experience for our partners. Six Resorts are waiting for six lucky Rotary couples to spend in for two days, with an expiration of one year, in our raffle draws.

In behalf of the district, I would like to thank all the sponsors who helped realize our DISCON. And as we have enjoyed another year of service guided by our theme, may we constantly strive for excellence with the awards to be distributed to clubs which made a mark in our district. Let’s make these winning Clubs and Rotarians be our inspiration as we strive for excellence year after Rotary year.

Let’s all enjoy and make our happy feet express our elation, because as I’ve said, it is in Rotary that our smiles are wider and our laughter louder.

More power. Mabuhay kita tanan!

Melvin de la Serna District Governor

I know Governor Melvin has been working extremely hard in particular with the production of one of the most updated and informed newsletters in the Asian region sharing with you all the remarkable work of District 3850.

A District Conference is an annual meeting showcas-ing club and district activities. It is also a Rotary family event that mixes fellowship with learning and allows you to become more directly involved with the planning of your district’s future.

All your Past District Governors and District Leaders have also contributed in no small measure to the success of your District.Let us allgo the Rotary Way to “Reach

Within to Embrace Humanity”.

Dear District 3850 Conference Participants,

MEET OUR RI PRESIDENT’S REPRESENTATIVE & SPOUSE

APRIL 2012 5

r i P r E s i d E N t ’ s M E s s a G E

Binota and I are pleased to extend our greetings and very best wishes to you as you participate in this 2011-12 district conference. We wish we could share in each of the more than 500 conferences around the world this year, but that is just not possible. However, with the able leadership of your governor and the district confer-ence committee, we are confident that this will be a very special and memo-rable experience for you.

The district conference is a wonder-ful tradition and a great opportunity to share information and learn about the projects and activities of other Rotarians in your district and around the world. While our clubs are the heart of Rotary, it is at the district conferences where club members can become even more aware of the ways in which Rotary is making the world a better place.

When Binota and I began our life of service through my local Rotary club, we had no idea where our desire to serve would lead us. It is the same for all Rotarians, as none of us knows where service will lead. Rotary has accomplished so much, yet the world needs us more today than ever. I encourage you to renew your dedica-

tion to your clubs, your district and Rotary — to Reach Within to Em-brace Humanity. At the International Assembly I said, “In order to achieve anything in this world, a person has to use all the resources he can draw on. And the only place to start is with ourselves and within ourselves.” As you participate in your district confer-ence I ask you to remember why you chose Rotary and let service to others continue to motivate you.

We wish you an informative, inspira-tional, fruitful and enjoyable district conference.

Best regards,

Kalyan Banerjee President, Rotary International

All roads lead to Iloilo City on April 12-14 for the Dis-trict Conference, as Rotarians of R.I. District 3850 gather together for the annual reunion and fellowship.

Fellow Rotarians, we come not because we want to escape from our regular activities in our businesses or professions, but because we have the obligation to attend when we took our “Service Above Self” oath.

The DISCON is also the time to reckon our activities for the year based on the theme, “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity.” Clubs who have accomplished different projects expect a reward based on the cri-teria set earlier, and if I were to judge, everyone wins and nobody loses.

In addition to the listed awards, we will also include the Most Outstanding Club Secretary Award. This is to recognize the most active person behind the club president. Our secretaries are our silent heroes who deserve a little pat on the shoulder. Of course, the cri-teria include punctuality in the submission of reports like the MAR and SAR, collection of dues, and involve-ment in the club activities (as reported by the club president).

As DG Melvin announced, the Most Outstanding Spouse Organization will be awarded to recognize our partners who have been rallying beside us in all our Rotary undertakings.

Clubs with upcoming activities may still carry on with their projects up to June 30 or beyond, because we, Rotarians, find neither limits nor boundaries in our de-sire to serve and promote our advocacies for our less privileged brothers and sisters.

To all the delegates, may you have the best time ever so that the Iloilo City DISCON will be positively remembered as you return to your respective areas.

PP Melchor “Cho” Ramos District Secretary

A few days are all we’ve got before we usher in the most awaited event of our district–the 2012 District Conference.

Our Rotary District, particularly the host Iloilo City–the “City of Love”–is rich with festivals, some of which are known worldwide. These festivals promote and combine religious practices and folk culture. It is our way of conveying our religious beliefs and tra-ditions to younger generations. In reality, these fiestas provide an opportunity for revelry and merrymaking among families and friends.

In Iloilo City, the fourth week of January is always welcomed with the world famous Dinagyang Festival or “Festival of Excellent Folk Choreography” in honor of Santo Niño or the child Jesus.

Every second day of February, the city celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Candles or the parton saint of Jaro, Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria. It is one of the biggest and most opulent of the Iloilo festivals, wherein religious pageantries grace the city. People from all over Western Visayas flock to the district of Jaro for garden shows, nationally-known cock derbies at the Jaro Coliseum, agro-industrial exhibits, carnivals, and more. The festival culminates with the coronation of the Queen of Jaro, traditionally represented by young women from prominent Jaro families of Ilonggo lineage.

Other festivals in our District include: the Ati-Atihan Festival in Ka-libo, Aklan; the Binirayan Festival in San Jose, Antique; the Mang-gahan (mangoes) Festival of Guimaras; and the equally colorful MassKara (masks) Festival of Bacolod City in Negros Occidental.

Iloilo City is also rich in famous architectural churches and food like the Lapaz batchoy and pancit Molo. If you’re looking for a safe haven to stay in the City of Love, there are hotels that are noted for their best value, comfort and affordability.

Gov. Arthur Defensor, Congressman Jerry Treñas, and Mayor Jed Mabilog are proud to say that Iloilo City is the best place for this year’s Rotary District Conference. Experience the warmth of Ilonggo hospi-tality. Be mesmerized by the multifaceted tapestry of Iloilo’s culture and history. Iloilo City, the City of Love, is the place to be.

See you all here on April in the Discon!

is in crutches because she was crippled by the polio virus when she was barely three years old. Coming from a humble family with both parents as public school teachers, she earned scholarships for graduating Valedictorian both in Elementary and High School. In college, she graduated Magna Cum Laude at the Lyceum of the Philippines University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and went on to become a  Certified Public Accountant.

Her first job, however, was as a hard-hitting broadcast journalist. For 14 years (from 1986 to 2000), she took up the burning issues in her province Isabela , over her radio program in Bombo Radyo Isabela. As day-by-day Padaca exposed the province’s intractable problems – a stagnating rural economy, a plague of ille-gal gambling and logging, a ravaged environ-ment, multi-faceted corruption, – she came to believe that many of them were rooted in the political family that ruled the province for 40 long years. “This is not what I had been taught democracy should be,” she said.

As governor, she paid off 95% of the province’s huge debts and restored its fiscal credibility. She launched a program to increase the earn-ings of the rice and corn farmers of Isabela. She prioritized forest protection and made inroads against illegal logging in the Northern Sierra Madres. President Noynoy Aquino men-tioned about adapting her approach to envi-ronmental protection in his administration’s green agenda.

Grace Padaca is one of the founders of Kaya Natin: A Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership. Her co-founders are for-mer Governor Eddie Panlilio of Pampanga and former Mayor Jesse Robredo of Naga City, now DILG Secretary. For three years now, Kaya Na-tin has provided the country solid proofs and fine examples of effective and ethical leader-ship. It has also become a sanctuary for both public servants and citizens who, despite the prevalence of traditional politics and the cul-ture of corruption in the country, continue to work for the fulfillment of the hope that is the

Philippines.

In 2008, Grace Padaca received the Ramon Magsaysay Award, the Asian equivalent of the Nobel Prize. She was recognized for her contributions to  Government Service for em-powering voters in her provinceto reclaim their democratic right to elect leaders of their own choosing and to contribute as full partners in their own development.

is an epitome of an individual with an exten-sive exposure in the field of human resource management who can mix theory and practice and can embrace a different field that chal-lenges his flexibility.

Jesse has been involved in human resource management and development of various or-ganizations. In order to augment his practice, he found the time to share his expertise in the academe by handling management and economics courses at Colegio de San Juan de Letran and San Beda College. He also had an opportunity to be a Management and Hu-man Resource Consultant, Seminar Facilita-tor and Speaker. He conducted programs on values enhancement, leadership, supervision, emotional intelligence, work life balance, team building, career development, job hunting as well as sales and customer service.

Jesse was the Corporate Human Resources Head of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. He has initiated several innovative HR practices in work-life balance, human resource develop-ment, competency-based performance man-

agement system and upgraded employee benefits.

After five years with the Inquirer, a shift in his field posed a new paradigm for Jesse. He was appointed as AVP for Classified Ads. He was given the task to handle four products that are difficult to sell but have contributed to the growth and market dominance of Inquirer in the field of line and box ads, recruitment ads, obituaries, and government announcements.

An MBA graduate (san thesis) of Ateneo Graduate School and a BSBA – Management graduate (Magna Cum Laude) of Aquinas Uni-versity. He has a Diploma in Human Resource Development; Compensation Management; Labor Relations and HR Planning and Acquisi-tion from Jose Rizal University.

Despite his hectic schedule, Jesse devotes his time as a diligent Special Minister of the Holy Communion at Our Lady of Remedies Parish in Malate, Manila.

Jesse is a music lover and knows how to play

the piano, enjoys gardening and baking and to fill up some empty spaces in his appointment book, breeds twenty five dogs.

Most of all, he is proud to be single and a par-ent to two grown up boys.

He is currently the outgoing President of the Philippine Society for Training and Develop-ment and an immediate past Board of Director of the People Management Association of the Philippines.

PDG David “Dave” M. Villanueva

(17-years old) grew up not only within the re-cesses of a Catholic-Muslim home but also within the hardship of always being a “servant leader.”

In elementary, she was the President of the Student Council and had received the Out-standing Leadership Medal for her work. She had also graduated as Valedictorian from her school, the School of the Holy Spirit.

She passed the entrance exam to Philippine Science High School (PSHS). In PSHS, she had led the Batch Council and became Vice Presi-dent of the Student Council in her 4th year. She had also become Editor-in-Chief of two school publications. In her third year, she had represented the Philippines in the Community Development and Leadership Summit, where she was chosen to be the Valedictory Speaker in the summit’s culmination. She was also awarded the Gerry Roxas Leadership Medal. However, she did not neglect her studies; she was consistently in the Director’s List and graduated with High Honors.

After graduating from PSHS, she had entered

the University of the Philippines where she was conferred the Oblation Scholarship for having been Top 7 in the 2011 UPCAT. She is currently of Summa cum Laude standing in her course, BS Industrial Engineering. Although she has only thus far joined the Industrial Engineering Club, she expects to contribute more to UP as an iskolar ng bayan.

Outside the school, her contribution to her par-ents’ foundation, the Kristiyano-Islam Peace Library (KRIS), had climaxed into her being given the role of Administrator in early 2011. Despite the tricky balance of priorities, she had had to maintain, KRIS Library is now proud to have five libraries in Mindanao and Luzon. Be-yond the foundation, she has also served as a volunteer to the Philippine Children’s Medi-cal Center and as a tutor to public elementary students. 

For her work as a volunteer, as the administra-tor of KRIS Library, and as a “servant leader”, she has been awarded Zonta International’s Young Women for Public Affairs Award in 2011 along with four other young women from all over the globe. She has also won 2nd Place

in the District for the Violet Richardson Award of Soroptimist International. Locally, Senator Manuel “Lito” Lapid had signed P.S. Resolu-tion No. 590 recognizing her for her work. A joint recognition also came from the National Library of the Philippines and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.

In the future, Arizza wishes she could serve even more, given the many needs of her com-patriots. Currently, she hopes to stay in her path to fulfill the changes she wants to see one child at a time.

is not just an ordinary woman. She is a woman of substance who possesses unselfish com-mitment to other’s welfare, notwithstanding her physical limitation.

Ynday was born on March 27, 1941 and hails from San Jacinto, Masbate. Stricken with polio at three years old, Ynday has strived to live a life any normal person would have. She got her college education at FEU, AB Political Science. She was always a dean’s lister from elementa-ry to college. She got married to a lawyer, Ru-fino Mijares, a mother to an only child Robert Raymond and a proud grandmother to 2 girls and 2 boys. She was a successful landscape artist until post polio syndrome took a toll on her. She is wheelchair bound for the last six-teen years.

Ynday is the Charter President of the Rotary Cub of Centennial Quezon City which was chartered on the Centennial celebration of Philippine Independence on June 12, 1998. She has spear-headed projects on literacy

like the ‘Read Me A Book’ for the street chil-dren who have never been afforded a formal education; an ongoing multi awarded project year after year, the ‘Gulong Ng Buhay ‘ whose battle cry is ‘ Building and Saving the Future from the Past’, which is the donation of wheel-chair to polio victims prioritizing the women victims with the hope of putting them back to the mainstream; scholarship to abused young girls that started with Baby Echagaray, a rape victim by her own father. This project earned her the Madwa Award (Making a Difference on Women Award) by the Soroptimist club , the highest that it gives to an individual in 2009. Ynday was able to grant her a high and col-lege scholarship through the club. She also trained differently-abled children in artificial silk flower making and floral arrangement.

If many admire her for her commitment to serve, still others are impressed by her other achievements. She was appointed as the first female assistant governor in R.I District 3780 in 2000- 2001,2001-2002 and RY 2010-2011.

She was a a candidate for District Governor Nominee in 2004. She also chaired several district activities and for the first time in the district she spearheaded the Peace Award to Former Pres. Fidel Ramos on the celebration of World Understanding and Peace Month on February 23, 2000. District 3780 bestowed upon her the Peace Award on February 23, 2008.

Pres. John Fred “John” R. AndresRotary Club of La Paz

Pres. John Steve T. AlemanRotary Club of Pagadian

In the month of March, our club will award medals to Valedictorians of 13 Elementary and High School stu-dents in La Paz District. This is one way of recognizing our young achievers, and at the same time, our public image project.

Even at the start of the Rotary year, we have done our share of doing community projects like the Children’s Party. We were able to conduct seminars on Dengue Awareness, Stop TB Now Campaign, and topics on environmental conserva-tion like Veggies in a Pot. It was also in Brgy. Cubay, Jaro, Iloilo City that we were able to provide a footwalk and distribute slippers and umbrellas to children.

We have some projects for persons with disabilities like distribution of as-sistive devices last Christmas. Last January, our club identified a successful PWD, Mr. Fidel Arvin Sarabia, who serves as an inspiration and sponsored an award for him through the JCI.

We also invited students of West Visayas College of Science and Technology in our regular weekly meeting to motivate the new generation.

I would like to thank the support of the club members who never get tired of assisting in whatever project we undertake.

I’m particularly proud of our Rotary-Inner Wheel Village Elementary School in a far uphill barangay in our city. Our objective is to provide a long lasting place of learning for that community.

The project persevered with the first matched assistance with then Incoming District Governor Edgar “Diotay” Sy for the first 2 classrooms. Another extension room was built in May of 2010 as a transition project of PP Pol Balandra (RY 2009-2010) and IPP Jun Mendoza (RY 2010-2011) funded by a donation of Ms. Goulsby of Union Bank of the Philippines.

After four long years, the project was finally completed to usher the Club’s Rotary Year 2010-2011 with the turnover of the second 3-classroom building to the Department of Education Pagadian City Division on June 6, 2011, the first day of class for school year 2011-2012. The Club also distributed school bags and materials for the children. Currently, the school

operates as an extension of Da-O Elementary School up to grade 4, pending congressional approval for the formal establishment of the said school. We held projects like Children’s Party, Operation Haircut, and many more, including hygiene training for the pupils.

Pres. Danilo “Danny” O. DigalRotary Club of Oroquieta Centennial

Pres. Tomasito “Tommy” SyRotary Club of Jaro South

Simplicity and living life with conviction are values I admire. The very reason why I joined Rotary is be-cause I believe in its motto that uplifts the human spirit and the service advocacy in all its endeavors.

Our club is active with a lot of activities which include Literacy Program on Values Formation, Counseling & Leadership for the Youth, Adopt a School for primary and elementary school, and Annual Book Giving.

We are also into Feeding program, Blood-Letting, Dental, Surgical & Medical Missions, participated in by local and offshore medical practitioners, and wheelchair giving. I am always deeply moved every time I see the glow of joy in an indigent recipient’s face for the care that Rotary gives.

I’m with LandBank and a Public Accountant by profession and I have always believed that we have a social responsibility to our respective communi-ties. I’m happy to have the support of my spouse Cresilda and two children, Daniel Christopher and Dane Zelle.

I know that with my presidency comes great responsibility, and I consider it a privilege. All our endeavors make my club members happy that at the end of the day, we have done a good deed.

On February 25, 2012, through the efforts of Rotary Public Image Officer Lyne Abanilla and UNTV, Medical Missions were simultaneously held in the 10 districts of the country. The activity was also a way of com-memorating the World Understanding and Peace Day on February 23, the 107th founding day of Rotary International.

We made it a point that our Medical outreach benefitted the victims of the fire that razed a number of barangays in Iloilo City. We did the outreach in their relocation site at Tabuc Suba, Jaro, Iloilo City.

Through the assistance of the different clubs in Zones 1, 2 and 3 with Pres. Bopeep Ong as Council Chair, we were able to deliver our service to patients who suffered from various illnesses resulting from such tragedy.

Our club was also assigned in charge of the Medical Team for DISCON 2012, and we were happy to be of help in this event.
