VOLUME 4 | ISSUE 5 | NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2020 1 EDITOR’S NOTES

Our Rotary year is half over. Although the world seemed to have been on a standstill because of the pandemic, Rotarians' work has only accelerated. The rapid shift to digital has forced us to learn new tools to communicate, fundraise, and serve - this is the mi- nor downside.

The significant upside is the expansion of our community of support. Whether friends or merely social media connections, many people worldwide from North LEAH QUESADA America, Europe, Australia, and Asia supported our Public Image Chair fundraising efforts. Our members span from the Phil- RY 2020-21 ippines to Los Angeles to Monaco. With digital com- munications, we are all a Viber click away.

2 3 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Shared Prosperity in Times of Covid-19

RICKY TRINIDAD Club President, RY 2020-21

Dear members and colleagues,

Shared prosperity happens when the people of a nation work to increase the incomes and welfare of the less well-off, regardless of whether that country is poor or economically thriving. Economists use the concept of shared prosperity as a way to track a country's economic wellness.

Since the pandemic started, Filipinos have become more conscious of the concept of shared prosperity. The pandemic has accentu- ated the stark contrast of the "have's" and the "have not's." The inequity has never been more visible as we see groups of people slide down the economic ladder. For example, it is a common sight to see jeepney drivers forced to beg for alms in the streets of Metro Manila.

With the harsh reality of Makati Business Club (MBC), Bankers Associa- amplified inequity also tion of the Philippines (BAP), American Cham- ber of Commerce (AMCHAM), European comes the heartwarming Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) and 20 other associations.

4 To a large extent, the Phil- ippine Business Groups and our Rotary Club have the same goal – to share the wealth.

Last November 25, the Rotary Club District 3830 had a gala night honoring the district's Paul Harris Fellows. From our Rotary Club of Makati Premier District, the honorees were club members: Raissa Hechanova Posadas (Major Donor and Paul Harris Society), Leah Quesada, Hazel Zuellig, and yours truly (Paul Harris Fellows+1) and Mike Advani, Kat Lim Lleander, Toni Urrutia and Bobet Vera (Paul Harris Fellows).

Our club organized two fundraising events for our service projects. "Treasure Trove" is a digital store that showcased designer bags, shoes, accessories, and jewelry. All goods were donated or commissioned by our club members. Members built the online sales The generous support of 50+ sponsors,700+ platform and carefully curated over 300 ticket buyers, volunteer performers and sweat equity from club members made our concert items. Our online store ran from November fundraising a success. 28 to December 11.

The other is an online concert we called "We Are One" - our expression of shared pain in We end this year with great hope that the these difficult times and shared prosperity to year 2021 will commence with a definite help the less fortunate.

Proceeds from the fundraiser Merry Christmas to all! went to buying 165 tablets for our adopted school Francisco Benitez Elementary School III.

As we approach the end of 2020, I have joy in Yours in Rotary Service, my heart because I have witnessed our members' generosity. The kindness shown resulted from the giving of medical needs, educational necessities, and food for the hungry.

2020 IS A YEAR OF GREAT CHANGE Finding New Ways to Connect and Serve

HOLGAR KNAACK Rotary International President, RY 2020-21

As I look back on 2020, I reflect on how our lives have changed. The global COVID-19 pandemic brought pain and loss to many of us. And for almost all of us, our daily lives, family time, and work also changed this year. But we've made it to the end of this difficult year, not on our own but by reaching out to one another, as we always do in Rotary. With each passing year, I become prouder of our organization.

I will choose to remember 2020 as a year of great change and strength for us; Rotary did- n't stop, despite the pandemic. We removed obstacles, found new ways to connect, and embraced new approaches to service, such as online projects and virtual fundraising. I have invited two Rotarians to share their stories about how Rotary grew stronger this year.

When the pandemic shut everything down, our emerging e-club was already providing I will choose to remember digital service, including internationally.

8 FIRST SET OF DISTANCE LEARNING TABLETS DELIVERED TO CHILDREN

Since the pandemic, the digital divide has never been more apparent. With our online concert and digital store fundraisers, we raised enough money to provide over 150 children with distance learning tablets. We delivered the first set of tablets at Barangay Singkamas. We will provide the balance in January. Seeing the smiles on the children's faces brings a warm feeling to the heart! 9 10 Our Circle of Love Grows!

Rex Daryanani, cousin of club member Ravi Daryanani, donated 130 toys from his company Funtastic Stuff, also our concert platinum sponsors. Club member Dr. Hazel Zuellig donated 340 apples and oranges. Through their generosity, we gifted toys and fruits to children patients at the Philippine Children's Medical Hospital depart- ments of Neurology, Oncology, Hema- tology, ICU, and Outpatients. 11 TWO FUNDRAISERS: Collaborative Efforts of Love Generate Club Funds

LEAH QUESADA Public Image Chair Classification: Digital Marketing

Our service projects are made possible by two things: funds gener- ation and our club members' dedication. In November, we went full throttle on these two levers. We planned, built, and launched two digital fundraisers: an online concert and an online store.

Both projects were collaborative efforts of love. The enthusiastic support from members, their friends, and families was overwhelm- ing! Our members volunteered their time and talent to make both projects come alive.

"We Are One" concert had 50+ sponsors, 700+ ticket buyers worldwide, and revenues that far exceeded our plan!

"Treasure Trove" online shop took our traditional pop-up sales into the digital world, curating over 300 designer bags, shoes, accessories, and jewelry.

Thank you for being part of these meaningful endeavors! With the proceeds, we provided over 150 tablets for children in need of distance learning gadgets. On behalf of the children we serve, thank you for your big hearts and generous spirits!

12 TREASURE TROVE An online digital store of over 300+ curated designer items

"Treasure Trove" online shop took our traditional pop-up sales into the digital world, curating over 300 designer bags, shoes, accessories, and jewelry. It ran from Nov 28-Dec 11. Benefited children in need of distance learning gadgets.

Club member Toni Urrutia found good deals with a Prada wallet and Manolo Blahnik shoes

13 “WE ARE ONE” A Concert of Love and Giving

The concert is a collaborative labor of love. In five solid weeks, club members went from creating an idea to building a full-blown digital concert. The show featured internationally known performers like Jose Mari Chan, Joey Albert, and Route 70 band. Club members Joe Agcaoili and Tom Drilon were spectacular with their songs! We had a digital payment system for Philippine and international payments, 50+ sponsors, 700+ ticket buyers worldwide, and revenues that far exceeded our plan! Beneficiaries were children in need of distance learning gadgets.

Club member Joe Agcaoili sang a classic “What are You Doing for the Rest of Your Life.”

Club member Tom Drilon sang “The Christmas Song.” 14 HELPING TYPHOON VICTIMS THROUGH ABS-CBN’S SAGIP KAPAMILYA

ABS-CBN Foundation’s Sagip Kapamilya is relentless in bringing help to Filipinos in need after several typhoons devastated different parts of the Philippines. Thanks to club members and personal donations from club members Sonie Aguilar, Rina Lopez- Bautista, Ricky Trinidad, we donated relief goods to Typhoon Ulysses victims. #WeAreOne

PE Rina Lopez Bautista and daughter, Marga, hand-wrapped all the packages with hygiene and food essentials. Helping typhoon victims through a well established outreach like Sagip Kapamilya was very effective.

15 HELPING HOSPITALS IN COVID HOTSPOTS

The work we started at the onset of the pandemic continues as we deliver much-needed PPEs and critical medical supplies to hospitals in Covid hotspots in the Calabarzon re- gion - Cavite, Laguna, and Batangas. To date, we have delivered over 120,000 PPEs and medical supplies to 80 hospitals.

From left to right, top to bottom, you will find deliveries to: Ospital ng Imus, De la Salle, Santa Rosa Hospital and Medical Center, Cabuyao City Hospital, General Emilio Aguinaldo Hospital, Laguna Provincial Hospital. #WeAreOne

16 KEEPING ROTARY HOMES RESIDENTS SAFE Face Masks and Face Shields Donated

We donated 1,500 more cloth face masks to Rotary Homes Parañaque from our club and 1000 face shields through the generosity of club members Ravi Daryanani and Mike Advani.

17 FARMING FOR LIFE A Webinar with Barangay Singkamas Residents

TONI URRUTIA, Youth Service Chair Classification: Venture Capital Management

We’re all familiar with the Chinese proverb that goes, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a life- time.” It’s such a great concept, especially now with the quarantine where one is likely to benefit from an alternative livelihood.

Last December 12, our club partnered with AGREA Ag- ricultural Systems International, Inc. for a webinar called “FARMING FOR LIFE with Brgy. Singkamas”. Pre- sent was Cherrie Atilano, the founding farmer, CEO, and President of the company. Cherrie shared how to start a small garden from the ground up using inex- pensive materials such as plastic bottles as pots and food waste as compost and fertilizer for the plants.

Cherrie believes that through urban farming and agri- culture, families can escape poverty and supply food and resources for themselves. She has already started to transform the lives of people living in Siargao by teaching their residents how urban farming can be their source of food on their table and be a viable business. She hopes that she can replicate that success in other places well.

Twenty families watched the 2-hour webinar live on Facebook and had since organically reached 929 people and counting. Residents of Barangay Singkamas engaged with Ms. Cherrie during the Q&A session. She happily answered technical questions such as steps in creating compost using food waste, what types of elements plants need to grow well, etc

Families of Barangay Singkamas will receive grow kits to help them kick start their journey in urban farming as part of the club’s ongoing mission to provide hu- manitarian service and build goodwill and peace in the world.

18 FARMING FOR LIFE 38 Grow Kits Distributed

We followed up with Barangay Singkamas a week after the webinar and distributed 38 grow kits. Present were club execu- tive assistant Ivy Santos, RCC President Jereth Gallero-Diaz and Barangay Chairman Ramon C. Espena.

FIERCE AMIDST CRISIS

The ECQ of March 2020 came as a numbing social shock. This abruptly put the brakes on face to face gatherings and the clinking of glasses, replaced by images and voices on a screen which didn't quite cut it.

Thankfully the Club meetings and fellowship continued. We still managed to give out fun awards, arrange surprise birthday greetings, and organize elaborately themed, albeit virtual events.
