Pres. Mike Pearson
Your President is absent – and not on official Rotary business. We have a family reunion
to attend in Zambales, so VP Flo Bayquen is sitting in for me today. Fortunately I attend a lot
of other Club activities and meetings, so IP/SEC Gerard will not be following up with me (!)
I thought I would take this time to mention some of the things our members are doing on
behalf of the Club (and hopefully the Fine Master today will take note, heh heh).
John Cunanan (incoming Treasurer) is busy with updating our various Club Scholars’
records and ensuring that they receive their money on time. Christine Olarte is still looking
for members with toys and books that we can donate to both our Luding Day Care Center as
well as the Poyopoy Elementary School library. PP Lito has managed to sell (if everyone
pays for their tickets) 72 tickets for our PHF Raffle – he would like a few more tickets sold to
make this successful.
PP Linda Winter is organizing a series of Career Guidance sessions with local high
schools, to enable the students to make better decisions on where they plan to go to college
– and what perhaps they might take up as their course of preference. PP Alfred Laygo has
managed to convince 15 members of the Club to become Paul Harris Sustaining members.
Incoming Secretary Ben Ladilad is in the midst of the next stage of the Luding Project –
doing a composting course for the farmers. PP Benny has our two Pathways scholars attending our meetings regularly.
PE Raffy Chan is working on a possible sisterhood agreement with RC New Manila East.
VP Flo Bayquen is organizing our Club Anniversary on February 18. Rtn. Angie Visperas has
brought two visitors to the Club recently. Treas. Allan Branzuela is working with “Mayor”
Bert Talco to do some more medical work in Luding – hopefully including building a road, an
anti-rabies program, de-worming and a lecture on cleanliness for the children.
Pres. Maya and the Anns are still upgrading the facilities in the Luding Day Care Center.
Rtn. Johnie Go is working on our website and is even working with Governor Gerpy to
upgrade and perhaps maintain the District website. Johnie is also on our “golf team”, along
with Dwight Dulnoan and IP Gerard. PP Veeh is busy with dance practice, preparing a daring
dance for our Anniversary, along with some other members of the Club.
Jody Alabanza will be the chairman for the recently inducted Baguio Centennial Committee. IP Gerard is busy having meetings with his incoming Board members, to make sure they
are ready to take over when the time comes. Rtn. Mia Cawed will be sending her two kids to
the upcoming RYLA, Rtn. Cecille Apostol is sending her daughter and VP Flo will continue
the family tradition of having a Bayquen attend a RYLA.
So there you have it, a few updates on what is happening “behind the scenes” so to
speak with our members. There is still more to do. It sometimes seems like our Rotary work,
committees, projects, fundraising is a never-ending affair…and in a way, I guess it is that
way. If you do get involved, it is fun; you get to know more about your fellow members and
the ultimate goal of helping those less fortunate is achieved. Hard work but well worth the
effort.
I hope you enjoy the meeting. If you aren’t on the list above (I may have forgotten some
recent activities), I apologize. If you aren’t on the list, perhaps now is the time to get more
involved. We seem to be having fun, while getting the work done. Rotary is voluntary. Make
the most of the experience by getting yourself “voluntarily” involved.
My thought for the day: “A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without
springs - jolted by every pebble in the road.” - Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887) American
Preacher, Orator, Writer.

IN RETROSPECT
The Meeting That Was
28 January 2006
Dir. Pam Perkins
As expected, the meeting started on time. The invocation was eloquently delivered by Rotary Ann
Coring Visperas. A few resonating prayerful words lingered : “We offer ourselves in our society, united
and effective, good models and advocates of moral values to others... that we may find ourselves truly
renewed.”
The entertainment was provided by RA Maylene Dayrit. She sang a very melodious a capella song.
Another talented singer in our midst.
Introduction of visiting Rotariansand guests was by Past President Helmut Schlaaff . Our visiting Rotarian
was Carl from Germany, a guest of Rtn. Angie Visperas. We were graced with the joyful presence of our
visiting Rotary Anns who were: Maylene Dayrit, Gene De Guia, Coring Visperas, Grace Harper, Susan
Orina, Nitz Palma, Maya Peralta, Cely Ladilad and Tess Ramos.
The Fine Master was John Cunanan, who fined all the doctors and engineers; Lito Pangilinan for his
dedication to his Paul Harris Raffle assignment and Gerard Audineau from his pleasurable trek to Banawe.
Total fines came up to P1,500.
Raffle was handled by the Rotary Anns. Prizes were several beautiful mini head rest pillows, some in
the shape of hearts— in time for Valentines Day. The raffle winners were: Doming Valencia, Ben Ladilad,
Nitz Palma, Bert Talco, Johnny Zarate, Alfred Laygo, Rolly De Guzman, Chris Peralta, Ben Cid, Gerard
Audineau, Lito Pangilinan, Uwe and Coring Visperas.
Members’ Time were participated in by the following giving their committee assignment reminders: IP
Gerald on golf, PP Linda Winter on the RYLA and Career Guidance, Dir. Bert Talco on the Luding microfinancing.
Pamela Perkins toasted Mabuhay to the Rotary Club of Fair Oaks, California; a candidate to be
RCB’s sister club. They have been contemplating on visiting us here in Baguio City sometime April this
year. We look forward to this possible great event.
The Presidential time summary reminders were: The Tower Award for Blue Collar Workers Searchprize P50,000, our Japanese Rotary friends are coming to meet our scholars, for us to connect with the
Monday Afternoon Club, our 80% attendance that needs improvement to at least 90%, etc.
Doming Valencia, as usual, eloquently made the Introduction of the Guest Speaker.
Our impressive Guest Speaker, Past President Manny Reyes of Rotary Club of Rizal Central
authoritatively spoke about How to Get Money for our Rotary Club—through sources, like matching
grants and other types of grants. He has created for his club several matching grants and club sisterhood
projects with a number of foreign counterparts.
Manny Reyes is widowed, single and available. Benny Sunga offered an introductory matching meeting
acquaintance between PP Manny Reyes and our very own PP Linda Winter.
A lot of questions were addressed. The speech was very informative and enlightening.
Beyond a doubt, another worthwhile Family Day for the RCB.

NEOPHYTE THOUGHTS
Diversity in the Club
Rtn. John Cunanan
Last week, I was given the task to do the Finest Moments and since it was my first time, I did not really know what
to do because I am not that familiar yet with all the members. So I made my focus to fine by profession. Like I said, I don’t
really know yet all the names of our members that’s why if you noticed, I fined the MD’s and the Engineers of our club
(it’s a lot easier and safer for me to avoid mistaken identity). But I thought, “Does everybody know what each member
has been doing in his or her profession? Or are we familiar with at least with the names of most members?” I guess
everyone does not really know everyone in the club. Do you?
I did a little research and came up with a complete list of who’s who in our club for everyone’s information (thanks to
our Secretary and Incoming President Gerard – my source!). I hope that by really knowing the basic info on each member,
we will be able to appreciate more the diversity in our club. Yes we vary in many ways, but we’re weaved together for a
purpose. The power of diversity: a single strand or strip of any material will easily break, but interlacing threads vertically
and horizontally will be a lot tougher to break. That’s what our club is– strongly diversified. Service above self is our
motto. That principle pulls down the barriers of our individuality; bound together, no matter how different we are from
one another.
I have made the list by profession/classification and in alphabetical order for easy reference.
Architecture. Alabanza, Jody(Urban Planning; Chan, Raffy (Hotel, Commercial Building Design); Naz, Roger (General Practice) Q. What would it be like without Architects? A. World lacking in style. Brokerage. Gesner, Jack (Stocks

Commercial Banking. De Guzman, Rolly Q. What would it be like without Banks? A. Money laundering will not be a

Generation. Faelnar, Chris Q. What would it be like without Electricity? A. Everything will be black and white.
Engineering. Go, Johnie (Information Technology); Harper, Bob (Oil Exploitation); Mendoza, Caloy (Hydro Geology);
Talco, Bert (Civil Engineering) Q. What would it be like without Engineers? A. Have you seen Jurassic Park? Gov’tAgriculture. Ladilad, Ben (Research & Development) Q. What would it be like without Agriculture? A. Many of us will
die from high blood. Hospital Administration. Claridad, Diony Q. What would it be like without Administrators? A. It
will be like a wild party aftermath.Hotels – Investment. Tuason, Henry; Hotels – Management. Perkins, Pam Q. What
would it be like without Hotels? A. Transient house will definitely be a good business venture. Hydro Electric
Operation. Ronquillo, Rene Q. What would it be like without the Hydros? A. Bigger electric bills. Insurance. Dayrit,
Emil (Life) Q. What would it be like without Insurance? A. It’s going to be a risky business. Law. Bundang, Jeb (Pastor);
Cawed, Mia (Criminal); Rondez, Teop (Civil) Q. What would it be like without Lawyers? A. A few good man no more.
Manufacturing - Marble. Schlaaff , Helmut Q. What would it be like without Manufacturers? A. Get ready for the

Alfred (General Surgery); Orina, Dino (Hematology/Oncology); Peralta, Chris (Diabetology); Ramos, Joe (General Surgery); Sunga, Benny (Urology) Q. What would it be like without Doctors? A. God must have lost mercy on His people.
Mining. Dulnoan, Ike (Exploration); Valencia, Doming (Consultancy) Q. What would it be like without Miners? A.
Diamonds may not be forever. Real State. Apostol, Cecille (Development); Bayquen, Flo (Development); Galimba, Fred
(Low Cost Housing); Meadows, Herb (Brokerage); Palma, Angeling (Townhouse Development); Runas, Faith (Subdivision Development); Zarate, Johnny (Referral Services) Q. What would it be like without Developers? A. Paradise baby.
Sales. Audineau, Gerard (Wholesale/Corporate); Cunanan, John (Mall Operation); Olarte, Christine (Coffee Distribution); Pangilinan, Lito (Gal Merchandise Stores); Sommereux, Andre (Specialty Goods) Q. What would it be like without
Sales People? A. Are you crazy? I will be unemployed. Religion – Education. Hayes, Herb Q. What would it be like
without Religion? A. Hopelessness. Restaurants-Food & Beverage. Koeller, Uwe Q. What would it be like without
Restaurants? A. Marriage proposals may not be that memorable.
There you have it folks, the who’s who in our club. Next time you’re assigned to be the Program Coordinator or the
Fine Master or the Retrospector, you will have this material as guide. Remember, it will not be all the time that you will
have someone whom you can elbow and ask, “Who’s that guy again?”

ROTARY FAMILY
ROTARY INFORMATION
VP Flo tells us more
about our members
The ABC
of Rotary
VP Flo Bayquen
Continuing Educational Program
I missed three Saturday meetings for three reasons. The
Mid-year Review got the first, work got the second and
health reason which was the worst reason to miss a day of
Rotary business and fellowship. Rotarian Bob Harper, who
had just filed a medical leave of absence should be suffering
from a withdrawal syndrome from the club now. We will
surely miss you, Bob. Get well soon!
While waiting for my doctors at the SLU Hospital
sometime last week, as I always do whenever I’m there, I
would busy myself watching our veryown Rotarian-doctors
in action in their “ring.” I always made sure I’d make myself
unnoticed so they could keep up with their time. That day,
Rtn. Joey Bugayong noticed me seated in one corner and
managed a brief conversation. I was actually hoping I could
chat with him and ask him how everyone was in the family.
I haven’t seen Ann Baby for quite sometime in the chapel
where we both go to every noontime….The next few days,
I texted him asking for some questions about his family and
a pleasant surprise came when he called last Wednesday.
I didn’t know Rtn. Joey is from Lingayen, Pangasinan.
He is a general su rgeo n while Ann Baby is an
anaesthesiologist. Good match, ha…Ideally, every doctor
would want to have an offspring become one too….It was
not a disappointment because their older child, Alexander
is now an ophthalmologist in the Makati Medical Center
where he just finished his residency. He gave his parents
an “apo” who is now a 4 ½ year-old boy….Regie, the second
Bugayong child finished Political Science but decided to
be in an allied-medical field and is now pursuing Nursing
and in her 3rd year in UC. She has also made her parents feel
more blessed with her 5-year old boy…..Who would believe
that the youthful-looking-Aga Muhlach of RCB is already
a “lolo”?
Rtn. Joey is also busy with their farm in Aguilar,
Pangasinan...a farmer-doctor? Why not? Farming can relieve
stress…..
I asked him to chair the Holy Mass Committee for our
Charter Anniversary and I got a reply from him that he
would definitely take the task as if it is for Him that he will
dedicate his life. Anything for the Lord and for His Glory...I
was deeply touched by this very successful person who
takes so much pride in serving the Almighty….He is also a
Lay Eucharistic Minister…..
THE OFFICIALROTARYFLAG
An official flag was formally adopted by Rotary
International at the 1929 Convention in Dallas, Texas. The
Rotary flag consists of a white field with the official wheel
emblem emblazoned in gold in the center of the field. The
four depressed spaces on the rim of the Rotary wheel are
colored royal blue. The words “Rotary” and “International”
printed at the top and bottom depressions on the wheel rim
are also gold. The shaft in the hub and the keyway of the
wheel are white.
The first official Rotary flag reportedly was flown in
Kansas City, Missouri, in January 1915. In 1922 a small
Rotary flag was carried over the South Pole by Admiral
Richard Byrd, a member of the Winchester, Virginia, Rotary
Club. Four years later, the admiral carried a Rotary flag in
his expedition to the North Pole.
Some Rotary clubs use the official Rotary flag as a
banner at club meetings. In these instances it is appropriate
to print the words “Rotary Club” above the wheel symbol,
and the name of the city, state or nation below the emblem.
The Rotary flag is always prominently displayed at the
World Headquarters as well as at all conventions and official
events of Rotary International.
Happy Wedding Anniversary to Rtn. Rolly & Ann Nitz
& Rtn. Uwe & Ann Sally last January 28 and Birthday
Greetings to PP Roger last February 2!.... There’s a reason
to celebrate. God is Great!

ROTARY’S WHEELEMBLEM
A wheel has been the symbol of Rotarysince our earliest
days. The first design was made by Chicago Rotarian
Montague Bear, an engraver who drew a simple wagon
wheel, with a few lines to show dust and motion. The wheel
was said to illustrate “Civilization and Movement.” Most
of the early clubs had some form of wagon wheel on their
publications and letterheads. Finally, in 1922, it was decided
that all Rotary clubs should adopt a single design as the
exclusive emblem of Rotarians. Thus, in 1923, the present
gear wheel, with 24 cogs and six spokes was adopted by
the “Rotary International Association.” A group of
engineers advised that the geared wheel was mechanically
unsound and would not work without a “keyway” in the
center of the gear to attach it to a power shaft. So, in 1923
the keyway was added and the design which we now know
was formally adopted as the official Rotary International
emblem.

MEMBERSHIP MINUTE
Club Public Relations
Because every Rotary club is unique, it’s important to
share your club’s story with the local community to raise
awareness of what Rotary is and does. An active public
relations program not only enhances Rotary’s image but
can also help gain support for projects and attract and
retain high quality members, which ultimately improves the
quality of service that Rotarians provide. Consider the following PR strategies for your club:
VISIBILITY
• Display the Rotary emblem at the gateways of your
community.
• Display Rotary banners and signage at all events and
project sites.
• Develop a club fact sheet and distribute it in addition to
the brochure - This is Rotary (001-EN) at events and to
visitors at club meetings.
• Leave copies of The Rotarian or your regional magazine
where people will read them.
• Encourage club members to always wear their Rotary
pins, not just on meeting days or during projects.
• Utilize Rotary public service announcements (PSAs)
and other outreach tools prepared for clubs and districts
by Rotary’s Public Relations Division.
PLANNING
• Develop a comprehensive list of media outlets and key
media contacts in your community. Find out if any of
your club members know them or have other contacts
at an area newspaper, radio/TV station, or cable/satellite
provider who can put you in touch with reporters and
editors.
• Build a PR component into every event or project by
appointing a group from your club to plan publicity and
promotion for each of your club’s events.
• Place a newspaper supplement focusing on your club’s
projects and programs. If the cost is prohibitive, consider
asking corporate sponsors to pay for the space or
partner with another Rotary club in your region.
• Solicit media sponsorship of your projects or events.
Sponsorship will ensure increased coverage of your
event or activity. When using a sponsor be sure to
follow guidelines regarding signage by consulting
Rotary’s Visual Style Identity Manual (547-EN).
• Invite prominent media personalities to serve as master
of ceremonies at your events or speak at one of your
Rotary meetings. Also consider asking them to be
honorary members of your club.
Working with the Media
To reap the benefits of your PR initiatives, Rotary news
must be presented properly. Consider the following tips for
effectively promoting Rotary in the media:
Appoint qualified club and district public relations chairs.
Attracting media attention requires hard work and
research. A significant advantage is gained by appointing
club and district PR chairs who work in the communications
field and understand the media in your area.
Approach the media strategically.
Link your story to a larger trend or current news events.
When presenting a story idea to the media, make sure it is
brief and to the point. Consider the busy schedules of your
media contacts and think of how to best present Rotary in
30 seconds. Tailor your idea to a specific journalist,
publication, or broadcast program, such as an international
news program or a health segment on a local news channel.
Offer knowledgeable Rotary spokespeople.
When suggesting a story to the media, make sure you
can
offer articulate local spokespeople who are actively
