CLUB OFFICERS R.Y. 2014-2015
JANUARY 22
WE are celebrating a milestone in our club’s history: our 30th charter anniversary, with the theme: Rotary Club of Cubao West: Best at 30 and Beyond! It is no mean feat for a club to exist for 30 years. Like any other club, however, our club also had its ups and downs in the past, but our Rotarians have always been up to the challenge. Now we can truly agree with what they have been saying that “Clubs with good Rotarians will always emerge stronger”; and Rotary Club of Cubao West is one of the BEST examples. For the honor of being selected to serve as President for Rotary Year 2014-2015, which coincides with our 30th year as a club, and the privilege of being of service to our fellow Rotarians and the community, I thank my Club and all of our friends who are here today. Allow me also to say a few words of gratitude to all our Past Presidents and to the Spouses and family of our departed Past District Governor and Past Presidents. Our club cannot reach this far without their leadership and vision, for they have steered the Rotary Club of Cubao West to be one of the best, if not the best, in the District today. We have become a well-known and respected club among other clubs in the District, not only for our noble projects: the Alay Paa at Kamay: Gabay ng Buhay which became the symbol of hope for those with disabled arms and legs and the Heart Matters Foundation for indigent patients with aortic ailments, among other community service projects, the numerous awards or citations that we have been receiving, but also for our solid fellowship. True to our theme this year, “Light Up Rotary,” our club has been shining as bright as ever because of our meaningful projects and club activities. These fulfill our commitment to the many needy in the community that we directly serve and other communities wanting of our help. But our celebration is not just a time to reflect upon our past accomplishments. It is also a time to look to the future, to set new goals and face new challenges. We must continue to dedicate ourselves to the ideals of Rotary Service, promote the Rotary practice of high ethical standards, and seek new opportunities for service. We relish this positive challenge as our club moves into the next 30 years of moreJANUARY fellowships and good service projects. These two ingredients, service and fellowship, coupled with 30professional & 31 interests, volunteerism a good blend of diverse and the desire to give something back to the community, are exactly what make us a strong and vibrant club. As one, “Let us Light Up Rotary in Service to Humanity!”

Yours in Rotary Service! 30

Message
FROM THE DISTRICT GOVERNOR
TO my Best Class President Edgardo Zaragoza and the officers and members of the Rotary Club of Cubao West, I join my fellow Rotarians from the Rotary International District 3780 in celebrating your 30th Charter Anniversary and welcoming our new members. Fellowship and Friendship are what bind a Club to make it survive years and years of existence. These are the same building blocks that bind Rotarians the world over. They are the Rotary’s evangelizing force; they illuminate life’s pathway, spread good cheers, and surmount all barriers. Thus, Rotary has become a worldwide network of individuals who share the same passion for selfless service. Fellowship is essential to bridge the gap among Rotarians from different statures while friendship serves as the common denominator that nurtures harmony in every Rotarian’s quest for more opportunities of service. I wish everybody, especially our new members, find this occasion an opportunity to forge lasting friendships. May God continue to shower us with abundant blessings so we can continue our noble task of fostering unity among our fellow members. It is in unity that we find greater strength to do the awesome task of serving humanity. Congratulations to your Club and to the new members. More power!
SAMUEL D. PAGDILAO, JR. District Governor, RY 2014-2015

RCCW: A Brief History
RCCW officers and members during the 29th anniversary in 2014
ROTARY CLUB OF CUBAO WEST:
Best at 30 and Beyond!
TRUTH be told, one of the hardest things in life is fulfilling a legacy, more so if that legacy involves stepping up to the expectations of excellence and of “Service Above Self.” At the Rotary Club of Cubao West, its members and officers over the past 30 years have established a solid legacy for future members to build on, in its mission to serve a community in need. This is the rationale for its 30th Charter Anniversary theme, “Best at 30 and Beyond.” Chartered 30 years ago, on January 22, 1985, the Rotary Club of Cubao West Quezon City (RCCW) was the second club to be established by the Rotary Club of Cubao, then led by Past District Governor (PDG) Oscar Inocentes, and other charter members, a number of whom still remain active today. RCCW’s Charter President is the late Naning Alinea (1985-1986). Just like any newly established organization, the club had a rocky start. In early 1986, just over a year after its chartering, the club’s existence was threatened as no member was willing to take on the club presidency because of the political uncertainty in the country due to the ouster of its dictatorial president and the establishment of a revolutionary government. That threat was immediately dissolved when Past President (PP) Butch Bautista boldly took up the cudgels for the situation, saying…“If no one else would like to head the club, I will!” Those famous words saved the club from an untimely end, and PP Butch’s leadership is now part of the club’s legacy. Since its inception, RCCW has been led by 30 presidents—all of whom have made their distinctive marks and brought honor to the club and great relief to the community it has been serving. It has also been described as a “Club with a Legend.” Its current president, the 30th, is Best Class President (BCP) Edgardo “Ed” Zaragoza, a CPA, executive and outstanding public servant, and is the current administrator of the National

RCCW: A Brief History
Tobacco Administration. Shortly after joining the club in 2011, BCP Ed handled various positions of responsibility and accountability in the Club admirably, that he was elected for the presidency in his second year as a Rotarian. This legendary club has in its roster of members prominent professionals and executives, and successful business people, in the mold of BCP Ed. Foremost in the list is the late PDG Bobby Viray (RCCW President 1993-1994), a bright CPA, an outstanding business and government executive, and a successful entrepreneur, who became District Governor for two terms, a historic first in Rotary International and Rotary in the Philippines. Other prominent club members include: PP Joe “Ping” Sison, an eminent lawyer, TV personality and Philippine Star columnist; PP Rommel Cariño, a notable “miracle doctor” and heart surgeon; PP Jun Avecilla, an environmentally concerned “shipping magnate” and his hardworking business partner, PE Max Tan; JCI Senate Philippines Past National President Art Zurbito; and PP Melandrew “Mel” Velasco, noted Pres. Fidel Valdez Ramos family biographer and PR executive. The other active members who successfully served as club presidents are Butch Bautista, Joe Ragos, Obet Del Rosario, Tito Yuquimpo, Don Samson, Jay Alcantara, Freddie Reyes, Jess Muñoz, Santi Rodriguez, Alex Go, Ayie Gonzales, Manoucher Khaledi, Norman Verzosa, Joel Sarmiento, Ness Atienza, and Josie Garcia, the first lady president of the club and who received numerous awards including the “Most Outstanding President” award. Likewise, the club has been blessed with the entry of Ed Trinidad, Joel Guillermo, and Timmie Bernaldez, who are accomplished past presidents from other clubs and districts. The club has been conducting continuing and effective service projects in the communities it has been serving for the past 30 years. One such project is the “Kapayapaan sa Puso at Diwang Kabataan” in 2006 where the club, in cooperation with the Department of Education, launched a series of art and essay writing contests to promote peace in over 94 public elementary and 46 public high schools. With the Rotary Club of Makati, RCCW conducted workshops
to help teachers and school personnel improve their teaching and problem solving skills. Other noteworthy projects include the “Alay Paa at Kamay…Gabay ng Buhay” that provides prosthetic limbs to hundreds of disabled indigent beneficiaries; the “Project Heart Matters” which aimed at helping those with heart ailments; donation of 280 wheelchairs under a Matching Grant from The Rotary Foundation; outreach projects to daycare centers, centers for cancerstricken children, home for the disabled and 2009

RCCW: A Brief History elderly; milk feeding; career orientation seminar for graduating high school students; medical services such as free eye check-up, free cataract operation, free Pap smear check-up; estero cleaning; and the annual blood-letting projects. The main ingredient in the club’s sustained projects is the strong camaraderie and fellowship among its members during and after its regular meetings and community work. Speaking of fellowship, one remarkable feat for the club was the pioneering effort of PP Jun Avecilla to organize the first RI-recognized international fellowships, the International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians (IYFR) in the Philippines in 2011, right after the New Orleans RI Annual Convention. This fellowship group among Rotarians all over the world is the oldest and the biggest of the Rotary Fellowships. One need not own a yacht or a boat to be an IYFR Mariner. He or she should just be a Rotarian and should have that active interest in boating, marine life and its biodiversity. From the original RC Cubao Fleet, the IYFR-Philippine Fleet is now an armada of seven fleets and targeted to expand in the years to come to at least have a fleet in the 10 districts of the country. IYFR Philippines has been holding annual “Ocean Clean-ups” and has established a sailing school for children at the Subic Freeport. Its last major project was providing several fishing boats of sturdy materials to fishermen whose boats were destroyed by Typhoon Yolanda in Leyte, with generous funding from IYFR fleets abroad. Indeed, 30 years is a milestone. When the RCCW charter members took their oath of membership and office 30 years ago, perhaps they didn’t envision their club to last this long and accomplish so much. That is why the club honors its charter members in this special celebration, especially those who still remain active today: PP Butch Bautista, PP Ping Sison, PP Joe Ragos, and PP Obet del Rosario. Rotary Club of Cubao West, the “Club with a Legend.” with 30 meaningful years as its solid foundation, will surely continue to provide the best that it can muster to continue serving above self, for many more years to come. THE Rotary Club of Cubao West is guided in its undertaking by the following: MISSION: To serve those in need and the less fortunate in the community it serves in line with Rotary standards and ideals. VISION: To see the club grow in terms of membership quality as an assurance of continuity of purpose and direction, concomitant to financial strength and capability for it to see the realization of its projects for the benefit of the needy in the community it serves.

ROTARY CLUB OF CUBAO WEST
The Club Logo
THE official logo of the Rotary Club of Cubao West is prominently depicted as an outline of a man with outstretched arm ready to help those in need, symbolizing the very purpose and essence of Rotary… “Service Above Self,” aptly represented by the Rotary logo situated right in the middle and the heart of the outline. Enclosing the design is a square, marking the boundaries of the areas of concern and responsibility of the club with which it concentrates its services and assistance it renders heartily to the communities situated within the locality. On the left top portion of the design is a circle representing the Quezon City Memorial Circle and the right top portion is the Araneta Sports Dome in Cubao, Quezon City, both, considered historical and cultural landmarks of the city. The lateral band, with light blue and dark blue arrows, symbolizing the spread arms of the man, is Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, (EDSA), the major thoroughfare traversing the city from the north and south. The band with a light blue and dark blue arrow straightly pointing to the northeast, portrayed as the head of the man, is Aurora Boulevard. The two white bands, the left with a blue arrow is España Boulevard and the right with a light blue arrow is Sta. Mesa Boulevard. Conceptualization and artistic rendition of the official club logo was done by Past President Tito Galang, an architect by profession.
RCCW: A Brief History: Charter Members
Growing Stronger by PP PING SISON, Charter Member
IN 1984-1985, there were only about 10 Rotary clubs in Quezon City compared to 95 clubs now. In fact Quezon City then was not yet a Rotary District by itself but only a part of Rotary District 380 made up of all Metro Manila clubs north of Pasig River as well as clubs in the northeastern provinces from Bulacan to Batanes. At that time, a group of professionals, mostly lawyers with some government officials and businessmen were meeting regularly during lunchtime at a mini restaurant near Quezon City Hall upon invitation of then QC City Court Judge Oscar Inocentes, a common friend of them all. The group knew him well enough through personal contacts and professional dealings. He was also well known then as one of the former Assistant Fiscals of QC who became the nemesis and prosecutor of the “Big Four” criminal syndicate. “Oca” as he is intimately called, readily saw that his lunchtime friends had the potential of becoming a closely knit group of individuals well acquainted with each other and embracing the ideal of “service above self” as well as believing and practicing the tenets of truth, fairness, friendship and goodwill. He thought that he could organize them into another Rotary Club like the Rotary Club of Cubao where he was a charter director and later on president. And true enough, after several lunch meetings full of fun, friendship and camaraderie coupled with some serious discussions of service oriented projects, the group became amply ripe to be another Rotary Club in QC. Thus on January 22, 1985, it was chartered and became known as the Rotary Club of Cubao West (RCCW) with 32 charter members. Its charter officers were Estanislao “Naning” Alinea, president; Bienvenido “Ben” Villanueva, vice president; Jose “Joe” Rodulfa Jr., secretary: Isidro “Ding” Tobias, treasurer; Jose “Ping” Sison, protocol officer; and the following as directors: Herminio “Butch” Bautista, Teodorico “Titong” Imperial, Mario “Mar” Laqui, Christian “Bemby” Valencia, and Amado “Manding” Zabala. Other charter members still active in the club now are Roberto “Bobby” Viray [he died 2013], who became district governor of Quezon City, Jose “Joe” Ragos, and Roberto “Obet” del Rosario. Others who remained active for a time were “Tito” Galang, “Mon” Mison, “Ben” Baysa, “Pacing” Advincula, and “Boy” Santillan. The charter officers and members were actu-
Posthumous Awardee Profile
PDG BOBBY VIRAY President (RCCW, 1993-1994) District Governor (D-3780, 20022003; 2003-2004)
IN a job where premium is placed on integrity and honesty, topnotch accountant Roberto “Bobby” F. Viray subscribed to Rotary’s FourWay Test in his career as an auditor. “You will never go wrong with the Four-Way Test,” he said. Starting out as junior auditor at SyCip, Gorres, Velayo & Co., he was promoted to auditor-in-charge in a short span of eight months, largely owing to his outstanding performance at the firm. Soon after, he transferred to Edward J. Neil & Co. where he became an internal auditor and the manager of cash budgets. It was during his stint at the company that Bobby discovered a case of management fraud that resulted in the termination of the firm’s top brass. Bobby acknowledged the heavy responsibility that comes with his job. There were numerous factors that constantly gave him pressures, but in the end, his morals would triumph over everything else. Idealism and integrity were two values that had been inculcated in his mind since his younger years. He would strongly hold on to these values in his profession. Bobby also proved to be truly excellent at his job. When he was tapped to be a controller at Sherwin Williams Company, one of his major accomplishments was the improvement of the information system and procurement and warehousing functions. His outstanding performance eventually led to his promotion to vice president for finance and his election as member of the board of directors, one of the youngest in the Jardine Davies Group. Due to his years of experience and excellence in management, he was appointed Pls turn to page 14
ally a conglomeration of individuals with sharply contrasting personalities and political persuasions, yet they merged and stuck together beautifully because there was no superficiality or pretense in their demeanor. They were all genuine people who never hide their weaknesses or flaunt their strength. The solidarity in the club became so strong and durable that it has been dubbed as the “club with a legend.” And so through the years, RCCW grew stronger despite undergoing several “storms”. While the number of its members also dwindled during those stormy periods in its existence, it somehow managed to come back stronger and more solid.

head of the operations sector and senior vice president of the Development Bank of the Philippines. He worked on the reengineering of the operations of the bank to make it more efficient and competitive in the market. His involvement in public service and civic work started when he joined Philippine Jaycees in 1980. Afterwards, he joined the Rotary Club of Cubao West in 1985, where he served as president in RY 1993-1994. He eventually became governor of District 3780 in 2002-2004, earning him the distinction of being one of the few who served as district governor for two years, after the untimely demise of his successor. His term was marked with sacrifices on his personal life. All these he did in the name of service. As he said, “The true mark of a leader is being there when you are needed the most.” A man of academic caliber, Bobby graduated magna cum laude from the University of the East Manila, with an Accounting degree. He placed third in the 1973 CPA Board Examinations. With his broad management experience, he ventured into business. He was married to Ma. Cecilia Oppus Viray, with whom he had four children: Paolo, Anthony, Benjamin, and Ma. Clare. (Rerprinted from Liwanag, October 23, 2014 issue)
