Amidst the pandemic, we have witnessed how everyone stepped up in one way or another to help the people in need – our fellow Filipinos.
Witnessing this act of humanity, diverse group of professionals from Malvar, Tanauan, Sto. Tomas, and Lipa teamed up to form the newly chartered club. Governor Ray Atienza named the club “Rotary Club of Metro Malvar” which is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Batangas MidWest, guided by Past President Arnold Mendoza, as adviser, and Past District Governor Casimiro “Jojo” De Guia, Jr.
The Rotary Club of Metro Malvar is guided by the core values of Commitment, Acceptance, Respect, Empowerment, and Synergy. Where everyone is resolved to do good, accepted for who they are, respected for their beliefs and preferences, and empowered to be the best version of themselves to be of service to others.
RC Metro Malvar believes that there is unity in diversity. Moreover, the club believes that everyone, regardless of age and background, has the power to create possibilities and make dreams reality.
On October 29, 2020, RC Metro Malvar was officially chartered and became part of the Rotary International District 3820 family.
"The Rotary Club of Metro Malvar is guided by the core values of Commitment, Acceptance, Respect, Empowerment and Social Responsibility."
In August, I was proud to visit Pakistan and highlight Rotary’s top goal, eradicating polio. It was also a tremendous opportunity to spotlight female health workers who are playing a critical role in protecting children from this vaccine-preventable disease
This month, as we celebrate World Polio Day, we are shining a spotlight on our more than 30-year effort to lead the first global polio eradication campaign and our success in forming partnerships capable of completing this massive goal
We all know that this is one of the most ambitious global health initiatives in history and that we’ve reduced polio cases by more than 99.9 percent worldwide. Pakistan is one of only two countries in the world where wild poliovirus remains endemic (The other is neighboring Afghanistan ) I was able to witness and take part in vaccination campaigns in Pakistan, and soon after I left, a monumental nationwide immunization campaign took place, focused on 43 million children under the age of 5 I saw the incredible work of Rotary members on the ground More than 60 percent of vaccinators in Pakistan are women, and they are doing a remarkable job building trust and convincing mothers to vaccinate their children Seeing it all firsthand, I know that the will exists across the Rotary world to end polio, and I’m confident that we have the strategy The Pakistani media has been very supportive of our efforts as well, and this is making a difference This month, a new global pledging moment at the World Health Summit in Berlin promises to pull together more resources to fund these time-sensitive eradication efforts Now it is up to us to do our part and raise $50 million this year to earn the full 2-to-1 match from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
There’s great cause for optimism on the polio front but also some staggering new events that have further raised the stakes Over the past few months, new polio outbreaks have occurred in Israel, the United Kingdom and, most recently, in the New York City area. These stories are frightening, but in every case, the response is clear vaccines work, and if polio is spreading, we need to make sure the most at-risk people have kept their vaccinations up to date.
Most importantly, we need to eradicate this virus now If polio exists anywhere, it can spread everywhere What I saw in Pakistan convinced me that we can and must finish the job, but it will only happen if we remain committed to a strategy that’s working and back it with all necessary resources
Through our commitment, generosity, and sheer determination, we will #EndPolio
We are proud to announce that our recent End Polio celebration was a great success! The club partnered with Sunjin Philippines Corporation and Malvar PNP to conduct a free zumba event on October 28, 2022, which was attended by a large number of people.
The purpose of this event was to raise awareness about the importance of eradicating polio and to encourage people to take action towards this goal We believe that by working together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by polio.
We would like to thank everyone who participated in the event and helped make it a success. Your support and enthusiasm were truly inspiring. We would also like to thank our partners in the local police department for their invaluable assistance in organizing this event
Finally, we urge everyone to continue supporting the fight against polio. Together, we can make a world where no one suffers from this disease.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our community.
