A nother heartwarming outreach activity unfolded on April 6, 2025, as the RC Makati, in collaboration with the Interact Club of Gen. Pio Del Pilar National High School,gathered for a meaningful service project at Burnham Green, Luneta Park, Manila. By 7:00 AM, fifteen eager Interactors, accompanied by their dedicated Club Adviser, Mrs. Arlene Okuma, boarded the RC Makati-sponsored van at their school, joined by RCM Pres. Keith Harrison, for a morning of fellowship, play, and purpose.Upon their arrival at Luneta, the group was warmly welcomed by New Gen Youth Service Dir. Boy Arteche, Rtn. Nikko Dayrit, and the Bolanday for Kids team, led by Ms. Ida Arreza. Bolanday for Kids, a long-time partner program supported by RC Makati, regularly hosts outreach activities to uplift underprivileged children in the community. For the Interactors, this initiative offered a valuable opportunity to connect directly with the beneficiaries of RC Makati’s service programs and gain firsthand experience in community service. The morning’s activities kicked off with brief introductions between the Bolanday children and the Interactors, setting a cheerful tone for the day. Pres. Keith and Rtn. Nikko led a lively game of softball, where the joyful energy of both groups lit up the park. This was followed by rounds of traditional Filipino games and spirited badminton matches, creating an atmosphere of laughter, camaraderie, and inclusivity. Shifting from physical activities to artistic expression, the group then gathered for a painting workshop led by Ann Angela Garcia and her guest artist, Ms. Tates Cannon. With warmth and encouragement, they guided the children through an art session that celebrated creativity, self-expression, and confidence. The activity not only engaged the children’s imaginations but also fostered deeper bonds between the Interactors and the young participants. As noon approached, everyone came together to share a hearty lunch of pork giniling and rice, lovingly prepared by Bolanday volunteers. In a moment of joy and generosity, RC Makati distributed toys to the Bolanday children—gifts from the Club’s Last Angel gift-giving project, bringing smiles and excitement to the young faces. Before concluding their Luneta visit, the Interactors gathered for group photos at the monument of Dr. Jose Rizal, a symbolic stop that paid tribute to the national hero and celebrated the spirit of service, youth leadership, and patriotism. Following this, the Interactors enjoyed a a short tour of Intramuros, also sponsored by RC Makati, before returning to their school via the Club’s service van. This outreach program not only provided moments of joy, learning, and meaningful connection for the Interactors and the Bolanday children but also reinforced the RC Makati’s mission of nurturing compassion, leadership, and community service among the youth. RC Makati has committed P200,000 to support Bolanday’s Sunday Food n’ Book Program in Luneta for one year—a combined feeding and literacy initiative targeting underprivileged children. The program provides nourishing meals and engaging reading sessions for up to 100 children from Grades 1 to 3, addressing both hunger and learning gaps. Beyond weekly support, the initiative also serves as a platform for identifying deserving students for Bolanday’s Educational Assistance Program (EAP), offering them a pathway to continued academic support.. The Interact Club of Gen. Pio del Pilar National High School, sponsored by RC Makati, was first chartered on July 15, 1999, as Makati High School – Pio del Pilar Annex. After four years of inactivity, it was rechartered on September 15, 2022, under its current name. Starting with 50 members, the club has since tripled in size, now engaging 150 student members—mostly from Grades 8 and 9—in meaningful service and leadership.

Demonstrating its steadfast commitment to combating child malnutrition, RC Makati led by Pres. Keith Harrison, traveled to Calatagan, Batangas, on March 21, 2025, to witness the culmination of the club’s 120-day Feeding Program. Accompanied by PP Freddie and Jojo Borromeo, IPP Bing Matoto, and esteemed partners, the team celebrated the health and progress of 154 malnourished children from Angelita Zobel Elementary School and Balibago Elementary School. This marks the second consecutive year that these schools have been part of the club’s annual initiative, reinforcing RC Makati’s unwavering commitment to fighting child malnutrition. The feeding program, which began in October 2024, was made possible through a strong partnership with Kabisig ng Kalahi and the E. Zobel Foundation. The formal ceremony was filled with warmth and inspiration. Pres. Keith engaged the children in a lighthearted yet meaningful message, encouraging them to embrace healthy eating habits. With a touch of humor, he told them that if they wanted to grow tall like him, they needed to eat their vegetables. He also reminded them to avoid excessive sweets and sugary drinks, emphasizing the importance of water and proper nutrition in their growth and development. Taking the stage next, PP Freddie, chairman of the club’s Nutrition Program for over 20 years, reflected on the essence of Rotary’s mission. He described Rotary as a global fellowship that unites people from diverse backgrounds with the shared goal of uplifting communities. At the heart of this mission, he emphasized, is ensuring the health and well-being of children. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations to provide essential nutrition programs. Looking toward the future, he expressed hope that the children benefiting from this initiative would one day grow into leaders of their communities—and perhaps even future Rotarians. “The future of the Philippines is in your hands,” he told them, assuring that Rotary’s commitment to their welfare would continue in the years to come. IPP Bing, chairman of the Last Angel Gift Giving project for this rotary year, followed with a moving account of the program’s origins. He shared the touching story behind the name “Last Angel”—inspired by a department store’s tradition of placing angel figurines on a Christmas tree for each purchased gift. At the end of the season, one angel remained, representing a child who had not received a present. A compassionate customer later returned to ensure that no child was forgotten. This powerful message, he emphasized, mirrors the heart of the Last Angel Project—to ensure that every child, even beyond the holidays, experiences joy and a sense of belonging. The impact of the Feeding Program was evident in the testimony of the Balibago Elementary School principal, who proudly shared how the initiative had significantly reduced malnutrition rates among their students. From 134 beneficiaries last year, the number had dropped to 60 this year, with even greater improvements expected. Beyond health benefits, he highlighted how proper nutrition had positively influenced students’ academic performance, allowing them to focus better and excel in their studies. As the program ended, the children received their final serving of milk and a nutritious meal of rice and sautéed monggo, marking the official completion of the 120-day feeding initiative. The day’s most heartwarming moment followed the distribution of gifts as part of the Last Angel Project, bringing pure joy and excitement to the children. This event in Calatagan was the final leg of the annual gift-giving program, which had touched the lives of over 3,000 children this year. Adding to the generosity, Rtn. Taba Samson donated slippers for the children, while RCM provided textbooks to both schools as part of the Books Across the Seas Program in partnership with Rex Bookstore. Grateful for the generous support, the school principals expressed their appreciation for the books, recognizing them as valuable resources that would enhance their students’ education for years to come. To cap off the successful event, PP Freddie and Jojo Borromeo welcomed the team to their scenic rest house in Calatagan, where they enjoyed a breathtaking ocean view, a celebratory lunch, and a toast with glasses of champagne. With Calatagan marking the third successfully completed Feeding Program this year, RCM continues to reaffirm its dedication to uplifting communities through nutrition, education, and service.

In line with its ongoing commitment to youth development, RC Makati returned to General Pio Del Pilar National High School on March 27, 2025, to conduct a Career Guidance Seminar for 150 Grade 10 students. This initiative, in partnership with the school’s Interact Club, aimed to inspire and equip students as they prepare for senior high school and beyond. The seminar was held in the school’s AVP room, Brgy. Poblacion, Makati City, and was attended by Pres. Keith Harrison, PP Louie Aseoche, PND/VP Chris Ferareza, Dir. Boy Arteche, Dir. Neil Makasiar, and Rtn. Aaron Mempin. Interactors Marcus Dwayne Garcia and Rhyll Orada confidently hosted the event. The seminar was designed to guide students as they reflect on their future career paths, with four distinguished speakers from RCM sharing their personal journeys and offering invaluable advice. Each speaker not only discussed their respective fields but also emphasized the significance of perseverance, purpose, and passion in achieving success. PP Louie Aseoche was the first speaker and spoke about the true essence of being a lawyer, which goes beyond the formalities of barongs and courtrooms. He painted a picture of the legal profession as a calling, one that demands a dedication to justice and a willingness to stand for the oppressed. He shared his own experiences studying law during Martial Law at the University of the Philippines, highlighting the profound impact of legal pioneers who courageously fought against injustice. PP Louie also discussed the challenges students might face in law school, particularly the rigorous Socratic method, encouraging students to view these difficulties as opportunities for growth and to pursue law with passion and purpose. Dr. Nicky Ramos, the second speaker, shared his inspiring life story, focusing on his “3M principle”—Make it, Master it, Matter. He began by recounting his humble beginnings, where he worked feeding pigs, collecting restaurant leftovers, and washing jeepneys just to make ends meet. Despite these challenges, Dr. Ramos went on to become a licensed physical therapist in the United States. He emphasized that success comes from mastering one’s craft and using that expertise to make a positive impact on the lives of others. His message of grit, resilience, and determination resonated deeply with the students, urging them to rise above their circumstances and pursue excellence in whatever they choose to do. Dir. Neil Makasiar, an entrepreneur, took the stage as the third speaker and shared his journey from starting a business in Zamboanga to building a diversified business empire. His businesses, which span across food, retail, and manpower services, are a testament to his vision and hard work. He also spoke about his passion for giving back to the community, notably through the establishment of a free technical school for the children of his employees. Dir. Neil left the students with five key lessons: have a clear vision, take no shortcuts, build sustainable happiness, surround yourself with positive influences, and always stay rooted in faith and purpose. His words served as a powerful reminder that success is not only about financial gain but also about creating lasting, meaningful impact. The final speaker, PND Chris Ferareza, shared his personal journey as a certified public accountant. His talk centered around the importance of finding one’s “why”—the deeper purpose that drives us. PND/VP Chris recounted his own struggles with uncertainty, as he was initially torn between pursuing law, medicine, or a career in the military. He eventually chose accountancy, driven by the need to support his family. His story of balancing work and studies with limited resources during his college years in Manila served as a testament to the power of resilience and determination. He urged students to always seek a sense of purpose in whatever career they choose, as this would serve as their guiding light throughout their professional journey. After the talks, students were given the chance to ask questions and interact with the speakers. Rtn. Aaron Mempin took a moment to remind them that having access to such mentorship at an early age is a gift—and that with the right mindset, they each hold the power to shape their own future. The event concluded with a heartfelt message from Dir. Boy Arteche of the New Generation Youth Service, who encouraged the students to believe in themselves, pursue their dreams fearlessly, and remember that Rotary will always be there to support them on their journey. The final question of the day was directed to Pres. Keith: “What was your biggest challenge as a student?” He candidly shared that he wasn’t a top student and had experienced failure, even in exams. But instead of giving up, he and a close friend made a promise—to always retake, revise harder, and keep pushing forward, no matter how tough it got. “There’s always more in the tank,” he said. “So never give up. Keep chasing the dream.” As a token of appreciation, the school presented each speaker with a caricature portrait and a certificate of recognition. What began as a seminar ended as a turning point for many of the students. From being unsure of their futures, about 95 percent of participants left the event feeling inspired, motivated, and equipped with clarity for the next steps in their educational and career journeys.

In an effort to restore the Marikina Watershed and improve the local ecosystem, RC Makati, in collaboration with the Rotaract Club of Makati and the Interact Club of General Pio Del Pilar National High School (GPDPNHS), participated in a vital environmental initiative at the Pamitinan Protected Landscape in Montalban, Rizal. The event, held as part of the Marikina Watershed Reforestation project, focused on reforesting the watershed to enhance water regulation, mitigate flooding risks, and rejuvenate the environment. Led by RC Makati and RC Makati F. Zobel, and supported by various Rotary clubs in District 3830, the project is a key initiative to restore one of the region’s most important natural resources. Despite the Sunday being a typically reserved family day, Pres. Keith Harrison and PND Chris Ferareza chose to dedicate their time to this crucial environmental effort. Joining them were First Ann Rachel Harrison and their son, Julyan, as well as Pres. Alex and Lucille Lopez from RC Makati F. Zobel, Pres. Vilma Alas from RC Makati McKinley, PP CJ David from RC Makati Ayala Triangle, and PP Butch Madarang from RC Quezon City Circle of D3780. Also present were members of the RAC Makati, led by Pres. Hira Hermoso, and 15 members from the Interact Club of GPDPNHS, accompanied by their adviser, Mrs. Arlene Okuma. The day began with a safety briefing, particularly for the younger participants, before heading to the bamboo nursery managed by the Samahan ng Kawayan sa Karugo Agri-Farmers Association. The main task of the day was not planting, but bagging young bamboo shoots in preparation for their future planting in the Marikina Watershed. The goal of the project is to plant 4,100 bamboo plants across 20 hectares, with the actual planting expected to begin around June or July. This work is crucial to the restoration of the watershed, as bamboo plays a key role in stabilizing the soil and improving water quality. During the activity, Pres. Keith shared his thoughts on the importance of environmental conservation and inclusion, relating a personal story about his son, Julyan, who lives with autism. He emphasized the value of involving everyone in community efforts, regardless of their background, and encouraged the participants to engage deeply with sustainability projects, illustrating that each person can contribute to making a meaningful impact on the environment. PND/VP Chris Ferareza also spoke on the importance of sustainability in both business and community work. He underscored the Rotary Club’s commitment to reducing plastic pollution and highlighted the Club’s collaborations in environmental conservation, such as efforts on Pagasa Island and with the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) on reforestation projects. His message stressed the need for local community involvement in creating sustainable spaces, pointing out that true environmental stewardship is built from the ground up, with contributions from people at every level. FA Rachel Harrison addressed the link between environmental sustainability and human rights, drawing from the UN’s publication, Climate Change and Human Rights for the Youth in the Philippines. She urged the youth to actively protect the environment, emphasizing that environmental conservation is essential to ensuring human dignity. She also highlighted the role of bamboo farming in promoting sustainable lifestyles, advocating for cross-generational collaboration in leading environmental efforts. Lastly, PP Butch Madarang and a local tribesman guided in the practical art of bamboo cutting propagation—an eco-friendly alternative to traditional hardwood planting. They demonstrated how to select a healthy bamboo stalk with at least two nodes, carefully cut it at a 45-degree angle, remove excess leaves, and plant it in well-draining soil with proper moisture and shade. This hands-on learning emphasized bamboo’s significant environmental and economic advantages. Unlike hardwood trees that take up to two decades to mature, bamboo is harvestable in just three years, offering a sustainable livelihood for communities. Moreover, mature bamboo plays a vital role in climate resilience—it absorbs up to 500 kilos of carbon dioxide and produces 300 kilos more oxygen annually than typical trees. Its water retention capacity also helps mitigate flooding and erosion, while its endemic nature ensures high survival with minimal maintenance. Though the focus of the event was on bagging bamboo, the day exemplified a collective commitment to environmental stewardship. The Marikina Watershed Reforestation project is making steady progress, with plans to plant the 4,100 bamboo shoots, carefully monitored and nurtured as they grow. The event demonstrated the power of collaboration between Rotary members, Interactors, Rotaractors, and the local community in building a sustainable future for the region. As reported by the Samahan ng Kawayan, the planting process officially began on July 31, 2024, and continued through August 17, 2024. The bamboo plants have been monitored and cared for from February 24, 2025, to March 3, 2025. By this report, 3,570 bamboo plants have successfully survived, while 510 plants did not make it. This progress serves as a testament to the ongoing dedication of all involved to restore the Marikina Watershed and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.

The heat is on—and what better place to be than Palawan? Known for its breathtaking natural beauty, from pristine beaches to crystal-clear waters, Palawan isn’t just a destination for relaxation—it became a hub for leadership and learning as District 3830 gathered for the Presidents-Elect Learning Seminar (PELS). Under the incoming term of Governor Reggie Nolido, the district took a refreshing approach by bringing this year’s PELS to the island paradise for three days of fun, bonding, and intensive training. Designed as a mandatory seminar for all incoming club presidents, PELS prepares Rotary leaders for the responsibilities and opportunities of the coming Rotary year. But this time, it came with a tropical twist. Joining the delegation were incoming District Secretary Louie Aseoche, who was part of the organizing committee, and incoming President Eddie Galvez, who took part in the training. Almost the entire District 3830 delegation arrived in Puerto Princesa on March 20, warmly welcomed at the airport by local Palawan Rotarians. From there, the district officers were hosted to a hearty lunch at Ka Inato, a local favorite and a restaurant owned by PP Eric Yayen, before checking in at Astoria Hotel—the official venue for the seminar. The next day, March 21, the program kicked off early. Participants were shuttled to Takip Silim, a private resort owned by PP Bobby Castro, who graciously hosted the day’s teambuilding activities which was facilitated by CP Liza Mapagu. Against a backdrop of natural beauty, the incoming presidents engaged in physical challenges that tested not only their strength and endurance but also emphasized the core value of teamwork. The teambuilding culminated in a fellowship lunch before the group returned to the hotel, energized and more connected than ever. From beachwear to business attire, the incoming presidents transformed themselves in no time for the official photo op held late that afternoon, just before the opening plenary session. The session, emceed by incoming DS Louie, began with a vibrant processional as each incoming club president was introduced and featured on the big screen, receiving cheers and applause from their fellow Rotarians and district officers. The opening plenary was short but meaningful. PELS Chairman PP Jimmy del Rosario welcomed the delegates with brief but inspiring remarks, followed by an AVP message from RI President-Elect Mario de Camargo. The evening’s highlight was the keynote address of incoming DG Reggie, introduced in a light-hearted and creative way by his wife and incoming first lady, Sue Ann Nolido. DG Reggie used his address to present the different district committees that will support the clubs in the year ahead. He shared current statistics on membership, TRF contributions, and global grants, along with actionable tips to help clubs reach their goals across key focus areas: membership growth, public image, avenues of service, and support for The Rotary Foundation. He concluded with a stirring call to action—challenging each club to “level up” and become better every year. Day 1 ended on a high note with a lively singing fellowship, featuring a fun and spirited videoke competition that brought out the musical talents—and competitive spirit—of the attendees. The second day, March 22, was dedicated to a full schedule of learning and inspiration. The sessions began with an overview of the PELS program delivered by PP John Vinta, incoming Executive Director of the Rotary Academy. This was followed by a reflective and interactive mini-workshop titled “Why Are You in Rotary?” led by Cathy Gonzales, RC Makati’s former Rotaractor and past chair of the Multi-District Information Organization. A major highlight of the morning was a dynamic talk by PDG Oyan Villanueva, Zone 10A Assistant Rotary Public Image Coordinator, who presented the Rotary Action Plan with trademark energy and passion. He was followed by RI Fund Development Specialist Gretchen Laurel who presented The Rotary Foundation: Doing Good in the World, using an engaging online app to gather real-time input from participants, making the session both interactive and impactful. The second plenary concluded with a thought-provoking session on Effective Strategic Planning, delivered by incoming District Learning Facilitator, PDG Joji Tan, who provided practical frameworks for long-term success at the club level. The afternoon continued with breakout sessions, giving incoming presidents the opportunity to choose two out of three enriching topics. Rolling Out an Effective Public Image Campaign was facilitated by CP Mache Ackerman, the incoming Deputy Public Image Chair; The Impact of Our Service was led by PP Doris Ensomo, Incoming Chair for Service Projects; and Servant Leadership was delivered by Mennen Gonzales. After the breakouts, everyone returned to the main hall for the concluding session of the day—“If I Were a President Again”—presented by incoming District Admin Theda Collantes and incoming Executive Assistant Governor Buddy Madrigal. Their candid and heartfelt reflections offered a blend of wisdom, humor, and hard-earned lessons, rounding off the day’s program with both inspiration and practical advice. The closing remarks from incoming DG Reggie were short and inspiring: “I’ll swim now, please join me, and let’s have fun tonight!” And so they did—off they went to the Sunset Cocktails by the Beach. Everyone arrived in their flowery outfits, drinks in hand, and smiles all around, enjoying the sea breeze and the company of fellow leaders. What was meant to be a group presentation turned into a heartwarming moment of unity as everyone came together for a collective rendition of “We Are the World”, singing in unison and capturing the very spirit of Rotary: one voice, one heart, and one vision for service. The last day, a Sunday, began on a reverent note with a mass celebrated by Fr. Remo The program was intentionally light, beginning with brief announcements from RAED John, followed by a presentation on district awards by PP Sugus Legazpi, the incoming District Awards Chair. PP Louie then took the floor to promote the PHYLA. PDG Joji returned to share important Rotary protocols that will help guide the incoming presidents in managing their events and programs smoothly and effectively. Incoming DG Reggie gave his final words of thanks, expressing his appreciation to the organizing team, the host clubs, and all the incoming presidents who gamely took part in the training with full heart and energy. With the training given to the incoming presidents, they are now fully equipped—both in knowledge and in spirit—to lead their clubs into a strong, impactful, and meaningful Rotary year ahead.

The Hatch+ Program reached its pinnacle on March 22, 2025, with the final pitching event at the Paing Hechanova Creativity Center, RC Makati Clubhouse, marking the culmination of a ten-session journey launched in August 3, 2024 in partnership with StartUp Village. From an initial cohort of ten teams, five promising startups emerged, each presenting innovative business proposals aimed at addressing social, economic, and environmental challenges. Graced by esteemed members of RC Makati, including Pres. Keith Harrison, Program Chair Bom Villatuya, Director Johnny Ang, Rtn. Aaron with Ann Daianne Mempin, and Paolo Turno, the event emphasized the club’s unwavering commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and empowering individuals to create sustainable enterprises.

Their latest venture, Laya Handmade Leather Bags, featured eco-printed packaging from natural materials, aiming to generate Php 25 million in revenue within five years, increase PDLs’ income by 40%, and expand training programs through strategic partnerships. Juan Dalisay Jr., founder of Pantrypoints Circle, followed with an innovative approach to addressing food insecurity and waste through a moneyless circular economy. His system integrated food rescue operations, a ledger-based transaction model using points instead of money, sustainable urban farming, and a community-driven responsibility framework. Despite challenges such as flooding and low crop yields, the initiative refined its strategies to create an inflation-free, barter-based economy. Dalisay emphasized that collaborative efforts from stakeholders could help break the cycle of food waste and hunger. Next, Blossom Morante, CEO and Founder of FURK (Fur Kingdom), introduced a digital pet care platform designed to offer 24/7 pet services, including walking, grooming, home visits, and international pet travel assistance. Built as a web-based platform with plans for a mobile app, FURK ensured cashless transactions, appointment scheduling, and real-time updates, mirroring Airbnb’s model. Targeting urban hubs like BGC, Makati, Eastwood, and Capitol Commons, FURK projected a return on investment within two years, positioning itself as a game-changer in the pet care industry. Meanwhile, Florante Sangrenes, CEO and Co-founder of Emathrix Robotics, delivered his pitch via a video recording, as he was attending a workshop. Lastly, Sean Calzada, Marketing Senior Mission Specialist of Kadakareer, tackled the employment gap among Filipino youth by introducing a virtual apprenticeship program that provided project-based training in tech and digital skills. By partnering with companies, Kadakareer streamlined hiring processes while equipping students with hands-on experience. With a 60% job placement rate in 2024, the initiative aimed to increase placements to 80% within six months, calling for investors and corporate partners to help scale its impact.
