Rotaract Club of Holy Spirit and Rotaract Club of Midtown QC

work together to prepare students for disaster in case THE BIG
ONE comes anytime
As an offshoot of the Earthquake Preparedness Forum conducted by the Rotaract Club of Holy Spirit on August 23, 2015
for adult residents in the Republic area of Barangay Holy Spirit
which had been observed by President Jenina Salonga of the
Rotaract Club of Midtown QC, the two (2) Rotaract clubs decided to hold a joint project for students of New Era High School
(NEHS) on Tandang Sora Avenue in Quezon City..
The NEHS, with a population of 3,800 students, is an adopted
high school of RC Midtown QC where their Interact Club has
beenorganized.MsElenaEstabillo,theschoolsInteractClub
faculty adviser, coordinated the holding of the disaster preparedness forum. Over 270 Grade 8 students from six (6) sections
attended the forum which was held in three (3) batches last
September 24, 2015.
Main presenter was President Chie Bullo of RaC Holy Spirit.
With the guidance of RaC Holy Spirit, RaC Midtown QC President Jenina and club officers took turns in presenting selected
segments of the forum as part of their practical hands-on training and learning experience.

Each of the 3 sessions consisted of briefings using prepared

Powerpoint slides projected on screen, audio-visual presentation, examples & demonstration, Q&A and drills by students on
properDUCK,COVER,andHOLDresponsetoprotectthemselves in case of strong earthquake. As each session was adjourned, the students were urged by the Rotaractors to share
what they have just learned with their respective families and
friends.
PP Marcia Salvador of RCHS shared additional practical tips
and guidance drawn from experience during the July 16, 1990
earthquake that had inflicted heavy loss of lives and property in Baguio City, Dagupan City and surrounding areas.
In addition to imparting knowledge and understanding about
disaster preparedness, the project also provided an opportunity
for RaC Holy Spirit to share with RaC Midtown QC the knowledge, materials and hands-on training on how to conduct disaster reduction briefings & demonstrations for the rest of the student population of the school.
Side by side with officers and members of RaC Midtown QC,
Holy Spirit PE Mich Estenzo and Rtr Resha Avelino assisted
during the presentations.

Holy Spirit launches Care Seekers Program to help give glimmer

of hope to street children
Last September 27, 2015, RC Holy Spirit rolled out a
unique program that aims to help bring hope to street
children that have been neglected or abused by their
parents.
Twenty-six (26) children, aged 5-13 years old, were invited to a simple gathering at the Inner Wheel Building
at the barangay hall complex in Barangay Holy Spirit
where they listened to caring young adults about values.
They enjoyed playing fun
games, in contrast to street
games they play which,
more often than not, lead to
fighting. A nutritious meal
was served to them after the
games.

Present during the event were a social worker from Caritas Novaliches, missionary priests from Australia, and
volunteers from the Salamat Sa Biyaya Foundation.
The social worker has started profiling the children.
WCP Angel Castro of RCHS led in feeding the children,
assisted by PP Beth Sy and Rtn Jerry Sy.

RCHSs Care Seekers Program is in line with one of

Rotarys six (6) areas of focus: Peace and Conflict
Resolution. The street children are potential criminals
if proper intervention and
management are not given.
Most of them are victims of
drug abuse at a young age;
they are bullied by their
families and peers.

Composed by Ms Irene Valenzuela, 3rd Year UP Student in BS Nutrition
Malayang Tulaang Bayan poetry composition contest is an innovative project of the Rotaract Club of Holy
Spirit to encourage development of literary talent of the youth and to commemorate Buwan ng Wika

Bumbilya
Patay, sindi.
Patay, sindi.
Ang bumbilya sa aking silid ay malapit nang mapundi.
Paalis na ako upang kumuha ng pamalit na ilaw,
Nang biglang pigilan ng isang ala-ala - ikaw.
Naalala kita, hindi dahil nanunuot sa aking balat ang lamig
Na dala ng gabi att nais kong hawiin ito ng iyong mga bisig.
Naalala kita, dahil sa lugar na walang liwanag ay hindi ka mapakali.
May bulong ng pangamba mula sa iyong tinig - noon pa ma'y takot ka na sa dilim.
At sa kalaliman ng gabi, doon kita mag-isang natagpuan.
Nawawala, nangangapa, nahahapo, nanghihina.
Kaya'y walang pagdadalawang-isip ay iniabot ko sa iyo ang aking kamay.
At dahan-dahan, sabay tayong humiwalay mula sa anino ng kadiliman.
Tila lumipad papalayo ang malamig na hangin.
At agad itong pinalitan ng pag-alab ng ating mga damdamin.
Nagliwanag ang buong paligid nang magliyab ang apoy ng ating pag-ibig.
At mas nagliwanag pa, hindi dahil sa ningning ng mga bituin, kundi dahil sa kislap ng iyong mga matang
sa aki'y maingat na nakatingin.
Simulanooymagkasamanatingtinahakangisanglagusan.
Humampas ang mga alon na may dalang walang katiyakan.
Subalittayoymaybaongmuntingkislap kislap na sa atin ay nagsilbing gabay,
At may kalakip na pag-asa, na sa dulo ng ating paglalakbay, doon natin matatagpuan ang walang hanggang liwanag na mananatili at hindi na kailanman lilisan.
Ngunit tulad ng isang bumbilyang malapit nang mapundi,
Unti-unting lumabo ang kislap ng pag-ibignasaatiynamamagitan.
Ito ay binahiran ng panlilinlang at kasinungalingan.
Patay, sindi. Patay, sindi - iaalay ko ang natitirang liwanag na mayroon ako..
Patay - kulang na pala ang hatid kong liwanag sa iyo.
Sindi - maubosmanangliwanagnaakinghatid,pangakoysasamahankitasadilim;
Patay - hindi ka na pala takot sa dilim.
Buongakalakoymakakasamakitasabawatbuwanatarawnadaratingsaakingbuhay.
Buongakalakoymagsisilbiakongbuwanatarawnamagbibigay-liwanag sa iyong buhay.
Ngunit, hindi. Isa lamang pala akong kandila na mas piniling ilawan ang iyong mundo,
Subalit kasabay niyo ay ang pag-agos ng aking mga luha na dala ng iyong pagkawala, at sa akin ay unti
-unting tumunaw.
Unti-unti mo akong tinunaw.
Nilisan mo ako, subalit may iniwan ka.
Iniwanmoangtakotnamatagalsaiyongnamalagi,atsaakingpuso,itoyiyongisinilid.

Principles that Guide Rotary

The Object of Rotary
First formulated in 1910, 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.

5 Avenues of Service
Based on Object of Rotary, the Five Avenues of Service are
Rotarys philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on
which club activity is based:
Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club.
Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others
through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards.
Community Service covers the projects and activities the
club undertakes to improve life in its community.
International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotarys humanitarian reach around the globe and to
promote world understanding & peace.
Youth Service recognizes the positive change implemented
by youth and young adults through leadership development
activities, service projects, and exchange programs.
