Invocation Heavenly Father, We come to you today asking for your guidance, wisdom, and support as we begin this meeting. Help us engage in meaningful discussion; allow us to grow closer as a group and nurture the bonds of Rotary.

Continue to remind us that all that we do here today, all that we accomplish, is for the pursuit of truth, for the greater glory of you, and for the service of humanity.

We ask these things in your name. AMEN

Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? 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.

Through Rotary, I shall dedicate my all, World understanding shall be my cherished goal. With the Four Way Test I’ll pursue my quest And if I, in a way help obtain Peace in the world I shall not have lived in vain.

And in Rotary ways I will train my family.

RCCPC Credo We believe we are the Rotary Club composed of business persons and professionals who encourage and foster the ideals of service of Rotary International. We believe we are the embodiment of a strong, vibrant and familyoriented club which puts to action the tenet of Rotary

“One profits most who serves BEST”. We believe in our cherished role to be the leading civic organization in delivery of community and vocational services, particularly in the area of maternal and child care, coupled with educational empowerment, to the marginalized sector of society.

As we commit ourselves to do all these, we humbly seek the aid of the Divine Providence.

Because we care!

Secretary's Message Good evening fellow Rotarians! The January 9, 2023, meeting was called to order by Pres Buboy Tan at 7:35pm. The following were present: PDG Anton Florendo, PDG Ted Locson, AG Jun Falcon, PAG Jensen Racho, PAG Rodien Paca, Pres Buboy Tan, VP Robert Barquilla, yours truly, Dir Clark Gothong, Dir Walter Ong, Dir Marlon Pajulas, PP Toby Florendo, PP George Hong, Dir Daryll Abay-abay, Rtn Jun Exaltacion and Rtn Marvin Soco. Joining with us also is PP Sec. Nestor Toledo Elmer Barquilla of RC Tanauan and Kah Club Secretary, RCCPC Kohkazu invited guest of PP George Hong. The meeting proper started with the presentation of AG Jun Falcon of the activities of the upcoming Rotary week that will fall on Feb 19 – 25, 2023 with the following activities: Feb 19 – Press Launch, Feb 20 – Golf Competition Feb 21 – Bowling Competition Feb 22 – Badminton Competition Feb 23 & 24 – Holding of Community Service Projects, Feb 23 – Rotary Birthday (webinars) Feb 25 – Closing Program & Governor’s Night, A1 Our club was asked to host the Bowling Competition. However, since this week also coincides with The Rotaplast activities, it was decided to decline the hosting. The club will just be participating in the photo exhibit and video showing.

Secretary's Message President Buboy Tan presented the proposed Rotaplast 2023 Committees. A copy of which is also posted in our E-bulletin. There was not much objection as to the committee assignment except that The Marshall & Security Committee be chaired by VP Robert Barquella, and The Medical Service Committee be chaired by Dir Marlon Pajulas. It was suggested that the Welcoming Committee, the Food Committee and the Finance Committee will work closely together especially in the food preparation and its corresponding daily budget. VP Robert Barquella is tasked to ask the mayor for the city to sponsor either the Welcome dinner or Sec. Nestor Toledo the Appreciation dinner. A courstesy call to Club Secretary, RCCPC the mayor maybe helpful to get his support. WELCOMING COMMITTEE - PDG Anton informed the Welcoming Committee that the Rotaplast team will be taking EVA Air. It was suggested for them to coordinate with the transportation Committee regarding airport pick-up vehicles. Ask help from Physical arrangement committee for manpower assistance to carry baggage of the rotaplast team during arrival. TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE - Not to depend on the school bus of Rtn Sunjae Hwang as his school is closed. Identified that currently there are four (4) vans we can possibly use during the duration of the project. One (1) van each from PP George Hong, Pres Buboy Tan, PAG Rodien Paca, IPP John Sulay. We hope that they will lend us the Van for the duration of the entire project. SECRETARIAT - Dir Daryll Abay-abay said that he needs the packing List in advance before the team will arrive so he can facilitate right away customs clearance.

Secretary's Message LIAISON COMMITTEE PP Toby Florendo said that the team has not finalized their hotel accommodation. It would be a choice from The New Summit Hotel in Robinsons Galleria or The Waterfront or The Quest Hotel. Room night costs between P2,900 – P3,300. There is an on-going negotiation for the Waterfront to sponsor a hospitality room and a cheaper hotel rate. PHYSICAL ARRANGEMENT To do inventory of supplies and equipment as those items in storage might not be in good Sec. Nestor Toledo condition anymore or was totally damaged by Club Secretary, RCCPC typhoon Odette. SOLICITATION UPDATE - Our target proceeds will be P1,5M. As of today, Total Pledges amounted to P591,050. Collected at P246,050 and receivable of P345,000. This is way far from our target. To get more funds, Pres Buboy emphasized that a Global Grant might be able to help generate additional funds. However, this cannot be relied upon as the process takes too long. What is important is for everybody to double the effort and work hand in hand in getting more sponsors. To make the solicitation letter more personal, it will carry the name and signature of the solicitor. To make it more appealing, PAG Rodien Paca suggested to attached infographics about the Rotaplast activity. ROTAPLAST SHIRT - We will be using again the T-shirt design used during Year 2018 Rotaplast. For those who have not submitted their tshirt sizes, please do so soonest. These sizes will also be the basis for our new Rotary club shirt. There being no more items to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 9pm and fellowship followed up to 10pm.

R.I. President's Report (Jan. 2023) Rotary recently surveyed our members and found something that should be unsurprising but still caused many of us in Rotary leadership to sit up and pay attention: The single most important factor in member satisfaction is the club experience. How at home you feel in your club, how rewarding club meetings are, and how engaged you feel in service projects. I have seen this firsthand across the Rotary world this year. When members feel an emotional connection to their club, they cannot imagine leaving. And that connection is often forged in “Rotary moments,” when people feel that special connection to the people around them and the impact of their service. Our Imagine Impact Tour is all about shining a light on those Rotary moments and encouraging our RI Pres. Jennifer Jones members to tell their stories. President, Rotary International But there’s something else that makes an enormous difference in building and

sustaining that connection. It’s the comfort and care of our members — both Rotarians and Rotaractors. As my Rotary friend Todd Jenkins says, “People can’t see how you think, but they sure can see your actions.” We are in the relationship business, and if we take care of each other — genuinely show concern for each other — then we will make friends for life, and we will do anything to widen that circle of friendship. The question is: How do we live with our eyes wide open and do the things that really matter? We do this by taking time for each other, actively listening to one another, and treating every Rotary member as equally valuable — no matter how long we have been a member or what position we hold. People like me in Rotary leadership can offer all kinds of advice about how to make your club experience more valuable. But what’s most important is for everyone in every Rotary club to speak up and listen to one another. We should never be afraid to share with our fellow Rotary member what we expect to get out of our membership and have an open discussion about how to make that happen. To lead a Rotary club is to invite such dialogue and to be willing to try new approaches. Good leadership is giving it away. Propping others up. Allowing others to feel the victory. I have one last request for club leaders. We still need to do more worldwide to increase our female membership. It’s up a bit this year, but I know we can and must do better. Rotary is growing again. As I write this, we’re just a handful of members away from surpassing 1.2 million Rotarians again. So let’s redouble our efforts to bolster our clubs with great new members, then keep them for life by providing comfort and care.

The History of Rotary Club of Cebu Port Centre

In the beginning were five men and one vision…

In a historic series of preparative meetings in May 1985, Felipe Casing, Antonio Elumir, Manny Granada, Jacinto Jamero and Rey Sanggalang envisioned the Port Center of Cebu as a vantage ground from where a band of noble men shall rise by the name of Rotary, in a game of service to humanity.

What followed was a marathon dash in establishing a Rotary Club in the Cebu Port District to obtain a charter from then District 3860 Governor Jose “Joe” Lardizabal whose term was to conclude very soon. On the forefront was Pepe Casing, a Cebu Fuente Rotarian. It was in the special day of June 6, 1985 when a charter was granted to a club that was christened a most befitting name: The “ROTARY CLUB OF CEBU PORT CENTER”.

The newfound organization that was once a nucleus of five visionaries became a club of 34 gentlemen who convened charter members in the middle of June 1985 to bear witness to the first set of officers. Antonio “Jun” Elumir, who was then the Phil. Ports Authority Officer, was the Charter President. With him at the helm was Manuel “Manny” Granada, the charter vice-president, Jacinto “Boy” Jamero and “Rey” Sanggalang were the charter secretary and charter treasurer, respectively. These gentlemen who were the prime movers for the organization of our club were equally accorded those distinct and rare positions which can only happen once in a history of a club.

Pepe Casing was honored with the venerable title of “Godfather”. List of RCCPC Presidents: PORTSIDE BULLETIN 19
