Philippine Rotary Day
shines a light on
Rotary Community Corps
By Jesse Allerton,
Supervisor, Rotary
Service Connections
One of the best aspects of my job is supporting
and promoting Rotary
Community Corps (RCCs).
These are teams of men and women organized with the
help
of a sponsoring Rotary club to take action
and improve their communities.
RCCs empower their members to play an active
and ongoing role in identifying
and addressing their community’s needs.
And they provide local leadership and sustainability
to ensure that projects succeed.
On 22 August, I had the opportunity to attend
a national Rotary Day in
Manila
celebrating the accomplishments of RCCs and other community service
partners.
The event was held at the Tuloy Foundation’s
Don Bosco Streetchildren
Village,
an amazing nonprofit institution that has provided residential care
and vocational training to more than 17,000
disadvantaged youth over the past
20 years.
More than 600 Rotarians, RCC officers
, and civic leaders came
together for the event.
The day included a keynote speech by RI President Gary Huang,
an address
from the Vice President of the Philippines,
Mr. Jejomar C. Binay (a Rotarian!),
and inspirational remarks from Tuloy’s founder, Fr. Rocky Evangelista.
Fr.
Rocky shared the story of the Don Bosco Streetchildren’s Village,
from its
humble beginnings serving twelve children in a small room,
to its present-day
4.5 hectare community,
which serves up to 1,000 children at any given time.
A
group of the Tuloy kids put on a fun song
and dance performance showing the
confidence
and optimism they’ve gained through this program.
The Rotary Community Corps program
was first developed in the
Philippines in 1986,
and throughout the day, RCCs were lauded
(in the words of
one speaker) as “the Philippines’ legacy to humanity.”
President Huang praised
RCCs for “finding solutions,
not excuses” for community problems.
Incoming RCC
officers had the rare privilege of being inducted
into office on stage by RI
President Huang
and their country’s own vice president, Mr. Binay.

The
Commissioner, in official and non-official capacities,
has been of significant
assistance to Rotary Clubs

Recently signing an MOU to support Interplast

When I
go to a local discount store to get oil and filters for my car,
I buy my wife a
bouquet of flowers on display
near the checkout counter.
During one trip,
some women in line behind me were oohing and aahing
about a husband getting
flowers for his wife.
"How often do you do that?" one asked.
Before I could answer,
the cashier, more than familiar with my routine, said,
"Every three months
or 3,000 miles,
whichever comes first."
