ROTARIANS MAKE A DIFFERENCE as they plant trees to protect environment, build awareness of Rotary’s commitment to End Polio Now, keep themselves fit & healthy, and strengthen friendship & have fun
On Sunday, October 29, 2017, TGP Ric Salvador of RC Holy Spirit, TGP Lovely Rose Paalisbo of the Rotaract Club of Holy Spirit, and TGP Shane Macabodbod of the Interact Club of Holy Spirit National High School, with RCHS PP Marcia Salvador, joined some 70 other Rotarians and service partners in planting 100 seedlings of caballero at the open fields of Veterans Memorial Medical Center near Hole #15 of the golf course. The seedlings were provided by the DENR. The number and type of trees had been limited by the small permissible planting area and the golf course restrictions. The caballero, actually a shrub, is a species of flowering plants in the pea family. Also called ―Bulaklak ng Paraiso‖, it is known for its medicinal purposes. It grows up to 3 meters. The tree-planting activity was preceded by the Great Walk around the Cottage area to the sound of lively music from a portable system. Gov Chito Borromeo met up with the
walkers at the end of the walk. A short program that began with a prayer ―Panalangin para sa Inang Kalikasan‖ ensued where Gov Chito gave a message. Then, District Chair PP Butch Madarang and a representative from DENR gave details about the treeplanting activity. This was followed by a sumptuous brunch treated by TGP Herminia Plopenio of RC North Edsa in celebra-
tion of her birthday last October 23. This event is another demonstration of Rotarians‘ love for nature, their collective commitment to safeguard the environment, personal commitment to stay healthy and fit, and District 3780 initiative to further strengthen friendship. Congratulations to District Environment Committee Chair PP Butch Madarang who made the arrangements with the authorities concerned. Congratulations also to lead clubs for tree planting RC Acropolis and RC Quezon City Circle, and lead club for Great Walk RC North Edsa with support from RCs Congressional, Balintawak and Sto Domingo.

RI President Ian Riseley has challenged each Rotary club to make a difference by planting one tree for each member. This means 2,618 trees for D3780 clubs based on Oct 1, 2017 membership update from Zone 7A. DENR has proposed an even larger challenge of 5,000 trees.
Rotary and partners support car-free Sunday that allowed residents to enjoy Zumba exercises, socialize & renew fellowships, avail of free food & health services, and sell their goods under pollution-free environment
The CarFree Development Project is an initiative of Cong PP Winnie Castelo which aims to transform city streets from congested roadways into places where people can once again, play, exercise, socialize and commute. This has been done in some streets on Sundays in Pasig and Pateros. Other Metro Manila cities have also started to designate certain areas as ―family zones‖ on Sunday mornings. Last Sunday November 5, 2017, the streets designated by the project aptly titled ―Balik Kalye sa Isidora Hills‖ was a portion of Holy Spirit Drive, De Leon Street and Marcelino Street in Isidora Hills. Joining the Carless Day was the Holy Spirit family led by RCHS Pres Ric Salvador, RaC Holy Spirit Pres Lovely Rose Paalisbo, IaC Holy Spirit National High School Pres Shane Macabodbod. IPP Peth Rivera and PP Marcia Salvador were there and joined Councilor Holy Spirit Rtn Star Valmocina during the Zumba routines. Also present were the TGP Winesimo Dumandan of RC Novaliches, TGP Roberto Mallonga of RC Biak na Bato, TGP Dennis Caguinguin of Midtown Cubao, and 5 Rotarians from RC Camp Panopio who represented TGP Rose Parinas..
ASP Peth Rivera, TGP Lovely Rose Paalisbo of Rotaract Club and PP Marcia Salvador are flanked by community leaders Bgy Council Kgd Lydia Ballesteros, Rep Winnie Castelo and Bgy Council Chair Chito Valmocina
The event was made festive with the presence of the Quezon City band that rendered classic and modern music. In addition to the Zumba exercise that was non-stop for about four (4) hours with different groups joining. Other activities included a fun run/walk, free food and beverages, free flu vaccination, art exhibit, cycling, children‘s show, street market. Everyone from all walks of life enjoyed being outdoors, without the pollution coming from motorized vehicles. Lending support to the project were the BFQC Homeowners Association led by its President, PDG Francis Rivera and the Isidora Hills Homeowners Assn.

ROTARY MAKING A DIFFERENCE Children and their parents take a break from their weekly learning program in Payatas to celebrate Halloween on November 5, 2017 The weekly sessions serve as preparation for 4 to 5 years old children who are due to enrol in kindergarten level soon. For children who are already enrolled in Grades 1 to 4, the weekly sessions serve to improve their reading, writing and math skills to help them perform better in school. These learning sessions are now led by parents of the children themselves. The program has been a continuing advocacy of PP Linda Palattao for more than ten years now where RC Holy Spirit members and youth partners traditionally help out as needed.
On November 5, 2017, the weekly reading-learningfeeding program for children whose families live in the Payatas garbage dumpsite area gave way for holding a Halloween party that they all enjoyed. The Halloween party sponsored by PP Linda Palattao of RC Holy Spirit was held at the Palattao compound in Payatas B, Quezon City.

Members of Holy Spirit family and partners assist in treating street children to a joyous Halloween Party By Arleth Villocero, Service Committee Associate Director, Rotaract Club of Holy Spirit On October 31, 2017, the street children under the Careseekers Program were given a Halloween trick or treat by PP Angel Castro and the Salamat sa Biyaya Foundation assisted by members of the Holy Spirit family. It was held inside the Our Lady of Sacred Heart Chapel in Barangay Holy Spirit. The careseekers are neglected, orphaned, marginalized street children in Barangay Holy Spirit. The Program is an advocacy project of PP Angel Castro and has the support of the Salamat sa Biyaya Foundation and the Social Services Development Ministry of the St Benedict Parish Church.
cedes all activities for the children, as part of the Program‘s values formation teachings. No less than 60 children, aged 2 to 15 years, had fun with the parlor games with the special assistance of Interactors and Rotaractors who were just too happy and thrilled to act as ate‘s and kuya‘s, helping them in the games and when they were served delicious snacks. To show their gratitude for the care given to them, the children did a special dance number. Before they went home, the children each received loot bags. On hand to assist in the activity were PP Beth Sy, PE JR Delgra and Rtn Jerry Sy.
The party began with praying Ama Namin which pre-

Rotaractors have Great Fun at the District Halloween Party as they display creative talent and sportsmanship Great Venue, Great Theme, Great Program, Great Prizes, Great Hosts, Great Food, Great Music. To sum it all up, it was Great Fun! The Rotaractors of D3780, called RACStars, got together for a Halloween event they called ―Game of Thrones:The Great Thrones‖ on October 28, 2017. It was held at the Dome of Manhattan Parkview at the Araneta Center. As DRR Louie De Real said, ―after doing a lot of hard work making a difference, it is an opportune time to celebrate.‖ Aside from the entertaining production numbers and beautiful song renditions, the event had two significant features: Photo Contest and Costume Contest. The Photo Contest, which ran a few weeks before the event, was won by RaC Holy Spirit for its depiction of HEROES, an American psychological thriller sci-fi television drama series which tells the stories of ordinary people who discover that they had superhuman abilities, and how these abilities take effect in the characters‘ lives as they work together to prevent catastro-
phic futures. The Best in Costume Contest had two winners: Richee Rein Fernandez of RaC Holy Spirit for her portrayal of Schizophrenica of Heroes; and Rey Ballaran of RaC Midtown Quezon City for his portrayal of Night King of Game of Thrones. RaC Holy Spirit also won an award for having the most number of attendees (23 in all) and active participation in the program. The event was hosted by the Rotaract Club of First Inspiring led by President John Christopher Gomez, with the sponsorship of RC Kamuning East led by PP Winnie Velarde who chaired the event and who made sure everyone got a pack of nice give-aways, in addition to raffle prizes.
District Rotaract Chair PP Marites Nepomuceno attended the event, together with PP Marcia Salvador. Congratulations to Holy Spirit Rotaractors! Congratulations to D3780 RACStars!

Millions have been committed to ending polio. The Rotarian October 2017
SERVICE ABOVE SELF
The Four-Way Test OF THE THINGS we think, say or do
1) Is it the TRUTH?
We are on the brink of eradicating polio. As of the end of July, only eight cases were reported this year, the lowest number in history. Every time a new case is identified, it could be the last one the world ever sees.
I am a Rotarian I will always uphold the TRUTH.
Now, we’re even closer. At the Rotary International convention in June, nations from around the world and key donors pledged $1.2 billion to energize the fight against the disease. And in August, the United Kingdom added its own $130 million pledge. To reduce polio cases worldwide to zero, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative has projected a funding gap of $1.5 billion, a figure that will drastically shrink once these commitments are fulfilled.
I am a Rotarian I will always strive to be FAIR in all of my dealings with my fellowmen.
The new funding will go toward polio eradication efforts such as disease surveillance, responses to any outbreaks, and the vaccination of more than 400 million
2) Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3) Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Rotarian’s Pledge
I am a Rotarian I will always endeavor to build GOODWILL and UNDERSTANDING in my community, among my countrymen and people of all nations. I am a Rotarian I will always seek to promote the greatest good for the greatest number of people in the spirit of ROTARY SERVICE. I am a Rotarian I will always uphold

annually. While donors have pledged the money to shrink the funding gap, Rotary’s work continues. As its part of the pledge, Rotary has committed to raising $50 million per year over the next three years, an amount that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed to matching 2to-1. We need to raise money to ensure that we take advantage of the full Gates match and pressure governments to come through on their commitments.

As a Rotarian, I will 1) Act with integrity and high ethical standards in my personal and professional life 2) Deal fairly with others and treat them and their occupations with respect 3) Use my professional skills through Rotary to mentor young people, help those with special needs, and improve people‘s quality of life in my community and in the world 4) Avoid behaviour that reflects adversely on Rotary or other Rotarians

Why Doing Good Is Good for the Do-Gooder By Nicole Karlis, The New York Times, October 26, 2017 ―Voluntarism is good for the health of people who receive social support, but also good for the health of people who offer their help.‖ Ichiro Kawachi, a professor of social epidemiology at Harvard‘s School of Public Health. ―When we do things for ourselves, those experiences of positive emotions are more fleeting. They are dependent on external circumstances,‖ he said. ―When we engage in acts of generosity, those experiences of positive emotion may be more enduring and outlast the specific episode in which we are engaged.‖ Dr. Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist and founder of the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin, Madison Helping others also gives us a sense of purpose. Dr. Linda Fried co-founded Experience Corps
support is critical for helping affected communities to recover. But acts of generosity benefit the do-gooder, too. ―Research suggests that these community social connections are as important for resilience to disaster is as physical material like disaster kits or medical supplies,‖ explained Ichiro Kawachi, a professor of social epidemiology at Harvard‘s School of Public Health. ―Voluntarism is good for the health of people who receive social support, but also good for the health of people who offer their help.‖ The day after Cristina Topham evacuated her home as a result of the fires in Sonoma, Calif., she and her boyfriend immediately looked for ways to donate and help. ―I just felt like I had to do something. I love my town and my community, and the reach of the destruction was astonishing from the very beginning,‖ she said.
Why is the first instinct for many to volunteer and donate after a natural disaster? One reason is that as humans we‘ve evolved to survive in groups, not alone. Rallying together makes us feel less alone in the experience, explained the sociologist Christine Carter, a fellow at the Greater Good Science Center at the Univerof California, Volunteers in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, gathered supplies to help with relief sity efforts for Puerto Rico and Mexico. Credit Edu Bayer for The New York Times Berkeley. The past few months, with a series of disasters seemingly one on top of another, have felt apocalyptic to many, but the bright side to these dark times has been the outpouring of donations and acts of generosity that followed. From Hurricane Harvey flooding Houston to Hurricanes Irma and Maria ripping through the Caribbean to wildfires burning Northern California, cities and charities have been flooded with donations and volunteers. The outpouring of
―When our survival is threatened, we are going to reach out and strengthen our connections with people around us. We show generosity. We show compassion. We show gratitude. These are all emotions that function to connect us with each other,‖ Dr. Carter said. Scientific evidence supports the idea that acts of generosity can be beneficial when we volunteer and give back regularly — and not just after a natural disaster. Volunteering is linked to
health benefits like lower blood pressure and decreased mortality rates. Dr. Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist and founder of the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, has been studying the effects of positive emotions, such as compassion and kindness, on the brain since the 1990s. He said the brain behaves differently during an act of generosity than it does during a hedonistic activity. ―When we do things for ourselves, those experiences of positive emotions are more fleeting. They are dependent on external circumstances,‖ he said. ―When we engage in acts of generosity, those experiences of positive emotion may be more enduring and outlast the specific episode in which we are engaged.‖ Helping others also gives us a sense of purpos e. Dr. Linda Fried c o founded Experience Corps, a program that engages retirees as literacy tutors, after she discovered a strong association between a sense of purpose and well-being throughout life. Older adults who volunteered to help children with reading and writing tended to experience less memory loss and maintain greater ph ys ic al m obilit y, one study suggested. Giving back is a fundamental teaching of many religions. Jesus had the Golden Rule. Buddha said in order to brighten one‘s own path, one must light the path of others. COMMENTS
Would Western doctors ever prescribe acts of generosity? Dr. John Rowe, a professor of health policy and aging at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, doesn‘t rule it out. ―We have sufficient scientific information to justify a very significant public health initiative,‖ he said. ―If there were a retiree in my office I would ask them, ‗Do you smoke? Do you exercise? What is your diet like?‘ I should also be asking them if they volunteer.‖ 9

MESSAGES FROM ROTARY LEADERS
RI President’s November 2017 Message In many ways, The Rotary Foundation is an invisible presence in our clubs. Most of what we do in our clubs and our districts, on a weekly basis, we do without the active involvement of the Foundation. But our Foundation is invisible in our clubs in the same way the foundation of a building is invisible when you're in it: Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not holding you up. The Foundation that enabled Rotary to take on polio is, in many ways, the foundation upon which our Rotary service is built. For 100 years, since it came into existence with a first donation of $26.50, the Foundation has supported and strengthened our service, enabled our ambitions, and allowed us to be the organization that we are. Because of the Foundation, Rotarians know that if we have the ambition and put in the work, very little is truly beyond us. It is an incredibly effective model that we have here in Rotary, one that no other organization can match. We are completely local and completely global: We have local skills, connections, and knowledge in over 35,000 clubs, in nearly every country of the world. We have a deserved reputation for transparency, effectiveness, and good business practices, and because we are highly skilled professionals as well as volunteers, we achieve a level of efficiency that very few other organizations can approach. To put it simply, a dollar given to The Rotary Foundation has a great deal more muscle than a dollar given to most charities. If you want to spend a dollar on Doing Good in the World, you can't do better than to spend it with the Foundation. That is not just me speaking out of pride; it is verifiably true and is reflected in our rankings by independent organizations. In the Foundation's centennial year, Rotarians surpassed our goal of raising $300 million. If you were part of that achievement, you have been part of something tremendous. Somewhere in the world, someplace you have probably never been, people you may never meet will lead better lives because of you. Ultimately, it is our Foundation that lets us make good on our core beliefs: that we can make a difference, that we have an obligation to do so, and that working together, as well and as efficiently as we can, is the only way to effect real and lasting change.
IAN H. S. RISELEY President 2017-18
Foundation Chairman’s November 2017 Message .
A few months ago, I raised the question, "What do the Trustees do, anyway?" I reflected that a critical role of ours is to listen. This month, Rotary Foundation Month, I can happily report that you speak volumes – and that you are heard. The late RI President-elect Sam F. Owori said he saw in Rotarians "an incredible passion to make a difference" and wanted to "harness that enthusiasm and pride so that every project becomes the engine of peace and prosperity." From your letters, reports, and wonderful stories, we know you share Sam's vision of a world where Rotarians unite and take action to create sustainable change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. Last year we saw an increase in the number of global and district grants initiated and another record high in Rotary Peace Fellowship applications. We also saw increased totals in overall giving, reflecting your passion for what we do as "People of Action." A special thanks to Rotary's club and district leaders for providing continuity in all our endeavors. Recognition as the World's Outstanding Foundation by the Association of Fundraising Professionals at its international convention affirms the work you are helping make possible. AFP's committee of judges cited Rotary's comprehensive campaign to eradicate polio as a major factor in the Foundation's selection. To Benefactors, Bequest Society members, and all levels of Major Donors, thank you! You are building financial stability for the future. Our Endowment Fund continues to grow because of your belief in the Foundation and its continually evolving programs. We are well underway with our "Building TRF Endowment: 2025 by 2025" initiative – to achieve $2.025 billion in gifts and commitments by 2025. As one Rotarian to another, from my heart to yours, please accept my personal thanks for your unflagging work and many accomplishments over the years. One of the genuine privileges of serving in a key leadership role in Rotary is being able to continue learning from Rotarian friends as passionate and committed as you. Let us celebrate Rotary Foundation Month together!
