Editor’s Notes
DisCon Fever I was a rookie Rotarian when I attended my first District Conference in 1989 at Boracay, when Gabi Viterbo was Governor. It was a great experience. I was instantly integrated into the club. I learned more about Rotary, in the few instances that I attended the plenary sessions and listened to the speakers. I came to know Rotarians from other clubs. But most of all, I enjoyed the kind of fellowship that is unique in Rotary–in and out the plenary halls. I have attended several other DisCons, and all of them have been special, in their own way. Some of them have been memorable to me like the DisCons at Dakak (2000, PDG Lando Villaruz); Roxas City (2001, PDG Henz Reyes); and Bacolod City (2002, PDG Phil Abello and 2005, PDG Nanette Garcia). Club Presidents will always remember the DisCons when they were president. For me, it was in 2003 at Zamboanga City, when Boloy Mendoza was District Governor. In 2007, after 18 years, the 3850 DisCon came back to Boracay during the term of PDG Ramon Locsin. During that time, we were hosts–but it was as enjoyable as the first time. April 12th is fast approaching and the DisCon Fever is rising. Club Presidents are feeling a little bit relaxed now, after completing and submitting their accomplishment reports, but most will be excited and eager, as they would expect some awards or have some participation in the programs. For some, it would be their first time; and each of them will have different expectations. Like my first DisCon at Boracay, I was never disappointed, because I came there with simple expectations–to enjoy the fellowship of Rotary! See you at the DisCon!

Happy feet
I
cried when I learned that PDG Ross Castillo, the District Governor during my term as president in RY 1993-94, passed away. I felt it was as if I lost a father. He reminded me of the struggles I had during my year of leadership—losing a mother, shifting my career to private practice, planning for my wedding, and the loss of business and clinic from fire. He was my comfort every time he wrote me to hang on and push some more with all the projects and transformation I did to my home club. I remember not attending the DISCON ‘94 Awarding Ceremony in exchange for a sure bed in the boat bound for Iloilo with my spouse, Fe who was heavy with our first child, Yanna. When VP Mike Bagonoc came rushing in with the Outstanding Club trophy in hand, my happy feet wanted to jump with joy if only they could. I kept on looking and touching it, so proud of myself and my club, throughout the half-day trip. The theme, “Believe In What You Do,
Do What You Believe In”, became one of my guiding principles in life. It was a very timely theme, and surprisingly congruent with our present theme: Reach Within To Embrace Humanity. So, here comes 2012 District Conference, and this time, at my helm. It is with great pleasure that Fe and I open our arms in welcome to all the Rotarians, partners-in-service, and to our valued guests to the most awaited event of the Rotary year. It was, indeed, an experience planning on the many details for almost two years, together with the different committees concerned. We poured out hard work for its realization. We should, because for one, the DISCON will bring us together. It will be one big fellowship after almost a year of hard work in the name of service. It is through this event that we will enjoy the revelry of our original, colorful and lively festivals in the district. Five clubs will showcase the festivals of their locality in the Opening Ceremony. During the Plenary Sessions, we have a credible list of speakers to guide us through with Rotary information, and to help us reach more within ourselves with the insights they’ll share. Of course, the six Rotary’s Got Talent contestants will perk us up with their lung power in between topics. There will be more camaraderie during the Governor’s Ball highlighted with our best pairs of ballroom dancers. On the last day, our Business Meeting will guide us with our direction as a district. We will also have the chance to showcase our clubs with the booths in our House of Friendship, and the Spouse
Program, which we plan to be an unforgettable experience for our partners. Six Resorts are waiting for six lucky Rotary couples to spend in for two days, with an expiration of one year, in our raffle draws. In behalf of the district, I would like to thank all the sponsors who helped realize our DISCON. And as we have enjoyed another year of service guided by our theme, may we constantly strive for excellence with the awards to be distributed to clubs which made a mark in our district. Let’s make these winning Clubs and Rotarians be our inspiration as we strive for excellence year after Rotary year. Let’s all enjoy and make our happy feet express our elation, because as I’ve said, it is in Rotary that our smiles are wider and our laughter louder. More power. Mabuhay kita tanan!

Dear District Conference Guests and Fellow Rotarians, Binota and I are pleased to extend our greetings and very best wishes to you as you participate in this 201112 district conference. We wish we could share in each of the more than 500 conferences around the world this year, but that is just not possible. However, with the able leadership of your governor and the district conference committee, we are confident that this will be a very special and memorable experience for you.
tion to your clubs, your district and Rotary — to Reach Within to Embrace Humanity. At the International Assembly I said, “In order to achieve anything in this world, a person has to use all the resources he can draw on. And the only place to start is with ourselves and within ourselves.” As you participate in your district conference I ask you to remember why you chose Rotary and let service to others continue to motivate you.
The district conference is a wonderful tradition and a great opportunity to share information and learn about the projects and activities of other Rotarians in your district and around the world. While our clubs are the heart of Rotary, it is at the district conferences where club members can become even more aware of the ways in which Rotary is making the world a better place.
We wish you an informative, inspirational, fruitful and enjoyable district conference. Best regards,
Kalyan Banerjee President, Rotary International
When Binota and I began our life of service through my local Rotary club, we had no idea where our desire to serve would lead us. It is the same for all Rotarians, as none of us knows where service will lead. Rotary has accomplished so much, yet the world needs us more today than ever. I encourage you to renew your dedica-

DISTRICT SECRETARY’S MESSAGE
All roads lead to Iloilo City on April 12-14 for the District Conference, as Rotarians of R.I. District 3850 gather together for the annual reunion and fellowship. Fellow Rotarians, we come not because we want to escape from our regular activities in our businesses or professions, but because we have the obligation to attend when we took our “Service Above Self” oath. The DISCON is also the time to reckon our activities for the year based on the theme, “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity.” Clubs who have accomplished different projects expect a reward based on the criteria set earlier, and if I were to judge, everyone wins and nobody loses. In addition to the listed awards, we will also include the Most Outstanding Club Secretary Award. This is to recognize the most active person behind the club president. Our secretaries are our silent heroes who deserve a little pat on the shoulder. Of course, the criteria include punctuality in the submission of reports like the MAR and SAR, collection of dues, and involvement in the club activities (as reported by the club president). As DG Melvin announced, the Most Outstanding Spouse Organization will be awarded to recognize our partners who have been rallying beside us in all our Rotary undertakings. Clubs with upcoming activities may still carry on with their projects up to June 30 or beyond, because we, Rotarians, find neither limits nor boundaries in our desire to serve and promote our advocacies for our less privileged brothers and sisters. To all the delegates, may you have the best time ever so that the Iloilo City DISCON will be positively remembered as you return to your respective areas.
DISCON CHAIR’S MESSAGE
A few days are all we’ve got before we usher in the most awaited event of our district–the 2012 District Conference. Our Rotary District, particularly the host Iloilo City–the “City of Love”–is rich with festivals, some of which are known worldwide. These festivals promote and combine religious practices and folk culture. It is our way of conveying our religious beliefs and traditions to younger generations. In reality, these fiestas provide an opportunity for revelry and merrymaking among families and friends. In Iloilo City, the fourth week of January is always welcomed with the world famous Dinagyang Festival or “Festival of Excellent Folk Choreography” in honor of Santo Niño or the child Jesus. Every second day of February, the city celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Candles or the parton saint of Jaro, Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria. It is one of the biggest and most opulent of the Iloilo festivals, wherein religious pageantries grace the city. People from all over Western Visayas flock to the district of Jaro for garden shows, nationally-known cock derbies at the Jaro Coliseum, agroindustrial exhibits, carnivals, and more. The festival culminates with the coronation of the Queen of Jaro, traditionally represented by young women from prominent Jaro families of Ilonggo lineage. Other festivals in our District include: the Ati-Atihan Festival in Kalibo, Aklan; the Binirayan Festival in San Jose, Antique; the Manggahan (mangoes) Festival of Guimaras; and the equally colorful MassKara (masks) Festival of Bacolod City in Negros Occidental. Iloilo City is also rich in famous architectural churches and food like the Lapaz batchoy and pancit Molo. If you’re looking for a safe haven to stay in the City of Love, there are hotels that are noted for their best value, comfort and affordability. Gov. Arthur Defensor, Congressman Jerry Treñas, and Mayor Jed Mabilog are proud to say that Iloilo City is the best place for this year’s Rotary District Conference. Experience the warmth of Ilonggo hospitality. Be mesmerized by the multifaceted tapestry of Iloilo’s culture and history. Iloilo City, the City of Love, is the place to be. See you all here on April in the Discon!

Maria Gracia Cielo “Grace” Padaca is in crutches because she was crippled by the polio virus when she was barely three years old. Coming from a humble family with both parents as public school teachers, she earned scholarships for graduating Valedictorian both in Elementary and High School. In college, she graduated Magna Cum Laude at the Lyceum of the Philippines University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and went on to become a Certified Public Accountant.
As governor, she paid off 95% of the province’s huge debts and restored its fiscal credibility. She launched a program to increase the earnings of the rice and corn farmers of Isabela. She prioritized forest protection and made inroads against illegal logging in the Northern Sierra Madres. President Noynoy Aquino mentioned about adapting her approach to environmental protection in his administration’s green agenda.
Her first job, however, was as a hard-hitting broadcast journalist. For 14 years (from 1986 to 2000), she took up the burning issues in her province Isabela , over her radio program in Bombo Radyo Isabela. As day-by-day Padaca exposed the province’s intractable problems – a stagnating rural economy, a plague of illegal gambling and logging, a ravaged environment, multi-faceted corruption, – she came to believe that many of them were rooted in the political family that ruled the province for 40 long years. “This is not what I had been taught democracy should be,” she said.
Grace Padaca is one of the founders of Kaya Natin: A Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership. Her co-founders are former Governor Eddie Panlilio of Pampanga and former Mayor Jesse Robredo of Naga City, now DILG Secretary. For three years now, Kaya Natin has provided the country solid proofs and fine examples of effective and ethical leadership. It has also become a sanctuary for both public servants and citizens who, despite the prevalence of traditional politics and the culture of corruption in the country, continue to work for the fulfillment of the hope that is the
Philippines. In 2008, Grace Padaca received the Ramon Magsaysay Award, the Asian equivalent of the Nobel Prize. She was recognized for her contributions to Government Service for empowering voters in her provinceto reclaim their democratic right to elect leaders of their own choosing and to contribute as full partners in their own development.
Jesse Francis N. Rebustillo is an epitome of an individual with an extensive exposure in the field of human resource management who can mix theory and practice and can embrace a different field that challenges his flexibility. Jesse has been involved in human resource management and development of various organizations. In order to augment his practice, he found the time to share his expertise in the academe by handling management and economics courses at Colegio de San Juan de Letran and San Beda College. He also had an opportunity to be a Management and Human Resource Consultant, Seminar Facilitator and Speaker. He conducted programs on values enhancement, leadership, supervision, emotional intelligence, work life balance, team building, career development, job hunting as well as sales and customer service. Jesse was the Corporate Human Resources Head of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. He has initiated several innovative HR practices in work-life balance, human resource development, competency-based performance man-

agement system and upgraded employee benefits. After five years with the Inquirer, a shift in his field posed a new paradigm for Jesse. He was appointed as AVP for Classified Ads. He was given the task to handle four products that are difficult to sell but have contributed to the growth and market dominance of Inquirer in the field of line and box ads, recruitment ads, obituaries, and government announcements. An MBA graduate (san thesis) of Ateneo Graduate School and a BSBA – Management graduate (Magna Cum Laude) of Aquinas University. He has a Diploma in Human Resource Development; Compensation Management; Labor Relations and HR Planning and Acquisition from Jose Rizal University. Despite his hectic schedule, Jesse devotes his time as a diligent Special Minister of the Holy Communion at Our Lady of Remedies Parish in Malate, Manila. Jesse is a music lover and knows how to play
the piano, enjoys gardening and baking and to fill up some empty spaces in his appointment book, breeds twenty five dogs. Most of all, he is proud to be single and a parent to two grown up boys. He is currently the outgoing President of the Philippine Society for Training and Development and an immediate past Board of Director of the People Management Association of the Philippines.

Arizza Ann S. Nocum (17-years old) grew up not only within the recesses of a Catholic-Muslim home but also within the hardship of always being a “servant leader.” In elementary, she was the President of the Student Council and had received the Outstanding Leadership Medal for her work. She had also graduated as Valedictorian from her school, the School of the Holy Spirit. She passed the entrance exam to Philippine Science High School (PSHS). In PSHS, she had led the Batch Council and became Vice President of the Student Council in her 4th year. She had also become Editor-in-Chief of two school publications. In her third year, she had represented the Philippines in the Community Development and Leadership Summit, where she was chosen to be the Valedictory Speaker in the summit’s culmination. She was also awarded the Gerry Roxas Leadership Medal. However, she did not neglect her studies; she was consistently in the Director’s List and graduated with High Honors. After graduating from PSHS, she had entered
the University of the Philippines where she was conferred the Oblation Scholarship for having been Top 7 in the 2011 UPCAT. She is currently of Summa cum Laude standing in her course, BS Industrial Engineering. Although she has only thus far joined the Industrial Engineering Club, she expects to contribute more to UP as an iskolar ng bayan. Outside the school, her contribution to her parents’ foundation, the Kristiyano-Islam Peace Library (KRIS), had climaxed into her being given the role of Administrator in early 2011. Despite the tricky balance of priorities, she had had to maintain, KRIS Library is now proud to have five libraries in Mindanao and Luzon. Beyond the foundation, she has also served as a volunteer to the Philippine Children’s Medical Center and as a tutor to public elementary students. For her work as a volunteer, as the administrator of KRIS Library, and as a “servant leader”, she has been awarded Zonta International’s Young Women for Public Affairs Award in 2011 along with four other young women from all over the globe. She has also won 2nd Place
in the District for the Violet Richardson Award of Soroptimist International. Locally, Senator Manuel “Lito” Lapid had signed P.S. Resolution No. 590 recognizing her for her work. A joint recognition also came from the National Library of the Philippines and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. In the future, Arizza wishes she could serve even more, given the many needs of her compatriots. Currently, she hopes to stay in her path to fulfill the changes she wants to see one child at a time.

Pres. Danilo “Danny” O. Digal Rotary Club of Oroquieta Centennial
Simplicity and living life with conviction are values I admire. The very reason why I joined Rotary is because I believe in its motto that uplifts the human spirit and the service advocacy in all its endeavors. Our club is active with a lot of activities which include Literacy Program on Values Formation, Counseling & Leadership for the Youth, Adopt a School for primary and elementary school, and Annual Book Giving. We are also into Feeding program, Blood-Letting, Dental, Surgical & Medical Missions, participated in by local and offshore medical practitioners, and wheelchair giving. I am always deeply moved every time I see the glow of joy in an indigent recipient’s face for the care that Rotary gives. I’m with LandBank and a Public Accountant by profession and I have always believed that we have a social responsibility to our respective communities. I’m happy to have the support of my spouse Cresilda and two children, Daniel Christopher and Dane Zelle. I know that with my presidency comes great responsibility, and I consider it a privilege. All our endeavors make my club members happy that at the end of the day, we have done a good deed.
Pres. John Fred “John” R. Andres Rotary Club of La Paz
In the month of March, our club will award medals to Valedictorians of 13 Elementary and High School students in La Paz District. This is one way of recognizing our young achievers, and at the same time, our public image project. Even at the start of the Rotary year, we have done our share of doing community projects like the Children’s Party. We were able to conduct seminars on Dengue Awareness, Stop TB Now Campaign, and topics on environmental conservation like Veggies in a Pot. It was also in Brgy. Cubay, Jaro, Iloilo City that we were able to provide a footwalk and distribute slippers and umbrellas to children. We have some projects for persons with disabilities like distribution of assistive devices last Christmas. Last January, our club identified a successful PWD, Mr. Fidel Arvin Sarabia, who serves as an inspiration and sponsored an award for him through the JCI. We also invited students of West Visayas College of Science and Technology in our regular weekly meeting to motivate the new generation. I would like to thank the support of the club members who never get tired of assisting in whatever project we undertake.
Pres. Tomasito “Tommy” Sy
Pres. John Steve T. Aleman
On February 25, 2012, through the efforts of Rotary Public Image Officer Lyne Abanilla and UNTV, Medical Missions were simultaneously held in the 10 districts of the country. The activity was also a way of commemorating the World Understanding and Peace Day on February 23, the 107th founding day of Rotary International.
I’m particularly proud of our Rotary-Inner Wheel Village Elementary School in a far uphill barangay in our city. Our objective is to provide a long lasting place of learning for that community.
Rotary Club of Jaro South
We made it a point that our Medical outreach benefitted the victims of the fire that razed a number of barangays in Iloilo City. We did the outreach in their relocation site at Tabuc Suba, Jaro, Iloilo City. Through the assistance of the different clubs in Zones 1, 2 and 3 with Pres. Bopeep Ong as Council Chair, we were able to deliver our service to patients who suffered from various illnesses resulting from such tragedy. Our club was also assigned in charge of the Medical Team for DISCON 2012, and we were happy to be of help in this event.

Rotary Club of Pagadian
The project persevered with the first matched assistance with then Incoming District Governor Edgar “Diotay” Sy for the first 2 classrooms. Another extension room was built in May of 2010 as a transition project of PP Pol Balandra (RY 2009-2010) and IPP Jun Mendoza (RY 2010-2011) funded by a donation of Ms. Goulsby of Union Bank of the Philippines. After four long years, the project was finally completed to usher the Club’s Rotary Year 2010-2011 with the turnover of the second 3-classroom building to the Department of Education Pagadian City Division on June 6, 2011, the first day of class for school year 2011-2012. The Club also distributed school bags and materials for the children. Currently, the school operates as an extension of Da-O Elementary School up to grade 4, pending congressional approval for the formal establishment of the said school. We held projects like Children’s Party, Operation Haircut, and many more, including hygiene training for the pupils.
