ROTARY PLEDGE I do solemnly promise to help advance the Object of Rotary, comply with the Constitution and By-Laws of Rotary International and of the Rotary Club of Mandaluyong ever putting into practice Rotary’s motto: “Service Above Self”.

THE FOUR-WAY TEST Is it the TRUTH? Is it Fair to all concerned? Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

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 dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society.

Hello all and welcome to a new Rotary year!

Firstly, congratulations to IPP Bert for a job well done! Our club ended the year with

ten awards at the district handover ceremonies. We won Outstanding Club with Dis-

tinction, Outstanding President with Distinction, Presidential Citation with Distinc-

tion, the Rotary Club Central award, two awards for our work giving boats to the vic-

tims of typhoon Haiyan, and meritorious service awards for our members’ work in

RYLA, Boat for Lives, TRF, and RYLA Host. The club truly “Engaged Rotary,

Changed Lives.”The pages in this issue celebrate our fellowship and spirit as we

move to close a Rotary Year.

As we close the year, we open another one. You will note that the Magdalo’s front

page, back page, volume, and issue numbers have changed. Our committees are in

the process of being formed, and our grants are in the process of being finalized. Our

new facebook page is up (do a search on RC Mandaluyong on facebook) and http://

issuu.com/rcmandaluyong/docs/inductionprogram has a digital copy of our induction

program. We are beginning to update our website at www.rcmandaluyong.org, and

Sec. Edwin has written his first Secretary’s corner.

Today we have our Senior Assistant Governor and Assistant Governor in attendance

in preparation for our governor’s visit at 4 PM on July 11. Our club’s 52nd induction

ceremony immediately follows. Kudos goes to the hard work of the induction com-

mittee. It promises to be a good time to look back, and to look towards another year

of service and fellowship.

Together, let’struly “LIGHT UP ROTARY.”

GOOD IS THE ENEMY OF GREAT

This is the first line in Chapter 1 of Good to Great, Why Some Compa-

nies Make the Leap and Others Don’t, Jim Collin’s # 1 Bestseller.

Later on in the chapter, he says that good is the enemy of great is not

just a business problem. It is a human problem. Once we crack the code,

we should have something of value to any type of organization. Good

schools might become great schools, good churches might become great

churches, good companies might become great companies.

We can make the same analogy and say that by cracking the code, we

can make good rotary clubs into great rotary clubs. Why NOT?

I have only been with RCM since August 2013 but I see the strength of

our Club in its members. People with deep professional experience in

their own fields of expertise coming from different age brackets with a

common desire to make a difference.

One of the concepts we learned in Good to Great is Level 5 leaders,

“leaders who embody a paradoxical mix of personal humility and pro-

fessional will. They are ambitious, to be sure, but ambitious first and

foremost for the Company (organization), not themselves.

I had the honor of being inducted by one such leader. IPP Bert de

Luna was always modest and simple in his ways but I soon realized

he was driven and passionate about the Club and its members. I look

back at my first year as a Rotarian with fond memories because I was

able to play a palm tree in our DISCON Talent Presentation side-by-

side with IPP Bert. I also had the pleasure of bowling with him at one

of our socials. Apparently, we both play golf but have yet to hit the

greens together. I look forward to that, IPP Bert, now that you have

more time on your hands. I salute you IPP Bert for a job well done.

We are all excited for the revelry and pageantry of our Induction. The

Chairman of the Induction Committee, PP Herman promises a great

evening for one and all. Surely, there is more work to be done in or-

der to LIGHT UP ROTARY. We will surely be rolling up our sleeves

as a Club just as we have done so many times in the past. But on 11

July 2014, let us take a rest from our usual routine and celebrate an-

other milestone in our storied history. It will surely be a festive eve-

ning to usher in another year where our Club will surely reach new

heights with President Gion Fabella at the helm.

CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE

Wise men say only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay

Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you

For I can't help falling in love with you
