RJ Ermita Good afternoon fellow Pasig Rotarians! A year ago, today, the Philippine Government put the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) into effect. It is surreal that barely a year ago, things were so different from where we are today. Our day to day lives have changed drastically. Our daily routines, our social norms have been transformed to consider and incorporate risks mitigating practices to deal with COVID 19. The situation since the WHO declared the pandemic a year ago remains the same (at least within our own country) with an increasing number of positive cases despite the development of vaccines. Every day we strive to understand how the virus mutations spread, and struggle to find solutions to this predicament. Yet, we continue to thrive as a club. Our commitment to help our fellowmen continues and adapts to the present reality. It is remarkable how we are able, to make things work, despite all the difficulties we encountered. Truly Covid or no Covid, our relevance as a club as a catalyst in uplifting the life condition of others remains strong. In today’s meeting, we will get to here from the head of one of the biggest departments of our government, with perhaps the most challenges faced during this pandemic. Secretary Briones’ responsibilities in ensuring that the education of our youth continues in a very difficult situation such as we are in, cannot be understated. Her decisions and actions are not just limited to the ROTARY CLUB OF PASIG Tinig Newsletter March 18, 2021 Pres. RJ Ermita Continuation 1. present but have a direct and long-term effect on the future of this generation of learners and ultimately the country. Let us listen and learn from her message. Our aim as individuals and as a Rotary club, is to see how we can best be effective as partners and conduits of government with the communities that are most in need. On our 50th year as a club, our commitment to the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self”, remains strong! RJ H. Ermita President ROTARY CLUB OF PASIG Tinig Newsletter March 18, 2021 PP Benny P. De Guzman Congratulations to our Pangkat 3 for hosting the last Zone meeting where we had close to 80 attendees led by our Gov Tonipi and our regular, PP Jimmy Ortigas. Even the open forum was well managed. As usual question No.1 came from franchise holder PP Ferd. There is no citizenship required to hold the franchise though. One intriguing question to the speaker was if he would run for President. Former Justice Carpio, though highly qualified to be President of our country (he was Chief Presidential Legal Counsel of then Pres FVR before he named him to the Supreme Court) said he is not running for any elective position. Former Justice Antonio Carpio, former Ombudsman and former Supreme Court Justice Conchita Carpio Morales, and former Foreign Affairs Secretary, Alberto del Rosario, are leading a group of truly concerned citizens to interview select candidates for President, Vice President and the 12 senators we are to elect next year. Just enough time. If there will be enough time also, up to the local levels of Congressmen, Mayors, Governors and their constituents, they will review and endorse. If they will be objective enough, and if there are at least 3 candidates each for President and Vice President, their endorsements will carry a lot of weight. FVR won with less than 30% of the votes because there were 8 candidates. Not that he should not have won if there were less candidates, his percentage would have been higher too. I asked in my column last week, if we can have an actual meeting with health protocols being observed and that we can meet at Tanay Room of VVCC. We can set up a bigger square arrangement that our first daughter club used since they had only 9 in attendance. With a bigger square set up, we can easily have more than 70 members and guests. We can have this once a quarter. A ROTARY CLUB OF PASIG Tinig Newsletter March 18, 2021 PP Benny P. De Guzman Continuation 1. PP of RC Pasig South was telling me of news from the district. A past president of a San Juan Club is seeking the governorship of our district and he is now a district officer. A follow up from one of their more active past presidents told me that even the DG is in favor of this guy running for the post. When DGNE Bobby takes over, his Governor’s Lady will be his daughter by then IPP Kristine. I tried to practice on the new words that PP Peter was introducing in his column. After several attempts, I decided to give up. It was giving me a hard time as I realized it will give me a harder time to try to use them. Rtn Chony gave our Pangkat a worthy project to handle which may give us a good chance to give additional support to our Mayor Vico. If we wish safer meetings for our members, we would wish more care for Vico, who is well exposed. Imagine he lost his driver to Covid who died after just two days of being confined. Lucky for Vico, he did not get afflicted. But, safety always is the best precaution. This week we remember the 500 years of Christianity in our country. The homily of our Beloved Pope Francis was very enlightening, and the unusual part of the mass was the response of the highest ranking Filipino in the Roman Catholic hierarchy, Cardinal Chito Tagle. It was longer but as enlightening. The mass itself with all the simultaneous programs took 1 hour and 24 minutes. Indeed, there are many Filipino talents spread all through out the world. We should be proud of them. We can export some of our policemen to Myanmar where their expertise would be appreciated. ROTARY CLUB OF PASIG Tinig Newsletter March 18, 2021 PP Jun C. Zafra NEW ROTARY FOUNDATION GRANT SUPPORTS SCALING PROVEN MALARIA PROGRAM IN ZAMBIA The $2 million grant goes toward Rotary club-led Partners for a Malaria-Free Zambia program; an additional $4 million contributed by partners the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and World Vision USA The Rotary Foundation is giving a significant boost to the fight against malaria in Zambia with a new $2 million Programs of Scale grant that will scale an already successful program model.

This is the time of the year when the “yin” (negative energy) is stronger than the “yang” (positive energy), and the gates of the spirit world, both heaven and hell, open to unleash hungry ghosts to roam the earth and cause misfortune by feeding on people’s energies and fears. The Ghost Month, so it seems, came a week earlier in the Philippines when most parts of Luzon experienced several days of heavy rain sans typhoons and massive and high-rise flooding.

AGENCY BRIEFING COMMITTEE SUBJECT MATTER DISCUSSIONS Metro Manila Briefing by the following government agencies The Committee, chaired by Rep. Manuel Luis Lopez (1st District, Development on their respective programs and projects for Manila), agreed to conduct another meeting to continue its Metro Manila: discussion on government plans and programs for Metro Manila. Metro Manila Development Authority MMDA General Manager Jose Arturo Garcia Jr. reported that (MMDA) several policies aimed at decongesting EDSA have been set or implemented by the MMDA. From implementing the no loading and unloading policy on EDSA, he said the MMDA is now set on banning provincial buses from plying EDSA and from entering Metro Manila. He added that the MMDA will be strictly enforcing the “yellow lane” policy requiring all city buses to use only the two outermost lanes on EDSA marked by yellow lines. Minority Leader Bienvenido Abante Jr. (6th District, Manila) expressed concern over the worsening traffic situation along EDSA even with various measures being implemented. Garcia expressed the hope that with the implementation of the provincial bus ban, traffic on EDSA will be reduced considerably. Based on Metro Manila Council (MMC) Resolution No. 19-002, all provincial buses originating from Northern Luzon will end their trips at the designated interim bus terminal in Valenzuela City, while those coming from the South will end their trips at an interim bus terminal in Sta.
