NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
Two Things As we continue this great tradition of publishing the Governor’s Monthly Letter (GML), your District Governor wishes to improve things further by doing two things:
1
Together with the theme for the month, the clubs will be featured by Zone, one Zone per month; the Clubs will be featured with their photo, a roster of members and their classifications, a short history (100 words), a list of five (5) of their signature and big projects, and a Rotary Moment (100 words), preferably by their Club President for Rotary Year 2013-14. This is so that the compilation of the twelve GMLs will produce a considerable District Yearbook. All Assistant Governors shall be requested to collect the materials and information and coordinate with our publishing and editorial team.
The order of themes and zones are as follows: Month

Best effort shall be exerted that the cover photo will be more like the way The Rotarian does it, more focused and simpler and less District Governor (he he!). And, we shall also be scouring the internet (Facebook, Yahoogroups, and www.rotary.org) for your photos; this is to encourage you to do more online. No need to communicate with us directly as we are more or less sure to find you online, for as long as you participate in the online activities of Rotary International and the District. This first issue will bear the theme for the Rotary Year 2013-14 Engage Rotary, Change Lives and will still serve as our District Directory and encyclopaedia; and we will continue to publish the GML online. With everybody’s cooperation, we will be able to make things even better this Rotary year! God bless everyone!

R.I. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
ENGAGE ROTARY
CHANGE LIVES
Dear fellow Rotarians,
T
his is an incredibly exciting time to be a Rotarian. This Rotary year can be one of the greatest years we have yet experienced in Rotary – but it is up to each one of us. We are now writing the last chapter in our fight against polio. While it has been a long, hard journey, we have learned many valuable lessons. We have learned that as a group we can move mountains, we can change people’s lives for the better, and we can honestly make a difference in our world. Perhaps the greatest lesson has been that the more we challenge ourselves, the more we can achieve.
Rotary service can change lives. We need to make sure that every member is active and contributing, and making a real difference – because when you’re doing meaningful work in Rotary, Rotary is meaningful to you.
We are also embarking on a new chapter in the storied history of our Rotary Foundation. We have the rare privilege of launching an entirely new grant structure we’ve come to know as Future Vision. It gives us the opportunity to challenge ourselves to do the absolute most we can, with all of our resources. Just think how much more we can do with a stronger Foundation, with stronger clubs filled with more Rotarians who are fully engaged in Rotary service.
It’s time to open our eyes to the potential each of us has through Rotary. Rotary lets us reach higher, do more, and be a part of something larger than ourselves. No matter how much we give to Rotary, we get more in return. And that, too, is inevitable.
It’s time for us to recognize that the real challenge we face isn’t just bringing new members into Rotary. It’s turning all members into true Rotarians. It’s helping members get engaged in Rotary – helping them realize the potential they have, and how their

When we realize what we can achieve in Rotary – when we really engage Rotary – that’s when lives change. We change the lives of the people who need us. That is inevitable. And along the way, our lives are changed as well. That is also inevitable. That’s what our theme is all about in 2013-14: Engage Rotary, Change Lives.
In 2013-14, let’s turn all of our potential into reality. It’s up to us. We can do it by engaging in Rotary service, by getting involved, by staying inspired, and by remembering every day the gift we have in Rotary. Together, we will Engage Rotary, Change Lives.
Ron D. Burton President, Rotary International
GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE
Governor’s Inaugural Address
I
was asked to join Rotary in 1994. The mother club was my father’s club and PP Tony Bisnar “found me” and asked me. Naturally, I said yes. I have known Rotary since I was a kid. The mother club’s Halloween parties were so much fun and the “oldies” were funny, especially when their palabas time came—one palabas, all of them were in igorot costume/”bahag!” The next kid moment was when I was first year high school, the big meeting then was held in Covelandia, now Island Cove, really big place in my eyes at that time having come from the province and I won a thermos in the raffle. All positively energized memories which made me decide to join. I did not dream then/ before that I would be in Rotary 19 years. Neither did I dream that I would be District Governor before I turned 20 in the Club, the first that the Club ever had! I got to know and fell in love with the District when I became AG, PDG Nanette was my District Governor; we were her Centennial AGs! It was then that my eyes were opened to the many big things Rotary was capable of. What struck me the most is this is an organization of really good people, doing really good in their respective corners of the country and the world! It was then that I met so many of our Past District Governors, and was edified. In fact, to me, this evening feels like being in a long line of bishops in the service a Pope. A long line of noble men and women who gave their lives to service . I am very happy that my family and community are here to celebrate this moment with me. And, I face you tonight with a lot of hope and eagerness. Rotary is exciting and
different. And, I am confident that this year brings with it a lot of wonderful moments, events and activities! I am so looking forward to visiting all our clubs and seeing how they are. I am so looking forward to going around the country and the world and looking at them through the eyes of someone who is instrumental in big and great things! I am so looking forward to meeting more Filipinos and more people from other countries and be edified by how really good their hearts are and how really great this world can be if everyone were a Rotarian or a friend of Rotary! At this point, I thank everyone who made this evening possible: the PDGs who lent their presence and prestige to this evening, to RIDN Guiller whom I hope I have not gravely disappointed with the humble preparations, to those who contributed the seafood and the food and the drinks, to my family and friends, to my Club (including our respective staffs) and the Roxas Clubs and the Zone 4 Clubs that nurtured my love for the District and Rotary the way I love it now, and to God, who through such strange straight and winding paths made all of our paths meet tonight to celebrate this evening that is so special to me! I thank you all from the bottom of my heart and wish you all to wish me the best this coming Rotary Year 2013-14, the year when we Engage Rotary, Change Lives! Yours in Rotary Service,
Mark Anthony Ortiz District Governor, 2013-14 J u ly 2 0 1 3

DISTRICT PROFILE
History of District 3850
B
y the time Rotary International Founder, Paul Harris, entered into his eternal reward, Rotary in the Philippines had spread across the country. And Paul Harris was well aware of District 385’s growing existence! This was the second district in the Philippines and consisted of Palawan, Visayas and Mindanao as its geographical coverage. As the nearly-dependent nation moved out of the ravages of World War II, more Rotary clubs were being chartered across the land. The need for a new district became imperative, there’s the emergence of District 385. This was a time for rehabilitating the nation and healing the wounds of war, as well as period of reaching out, and RI District 385 was well into its immersion! With more Rotary clubs being chartered in the Visayas and Mindanao, the district gave birth to RI District 386, which was followed later on by RI district 387. In spite of its new “diversification”, RI district 385 retained its distinct and multi-cultural identity! Today RI District 3850 remains a rich source of dedicated Rotarians, hailing from the various clubs located in Western Visayas and Western Mindanao. All of the more than 50 clubs and over 1,200 Rotarians of this District are united by the ever-ready outpouring of
fellowship and understanding. Within this district, one enjoys the old-world charms of Panay, the sweet province of Negros Occidental, the exotic place of Tawi-Tawi, historic city of Dapitan, the pristine beaches of Boracay, the zesty Zamboanga Peninsula and Misamis Occidental as well as the exotic cultures of the Tausogs, Maranaws, Badjaos and the Atis. Within the same district, there is a cacophony of dialects including Hiligaynon, Ilonggo, Karaya, Aklanon, Cebuano, Tausog, Maranaw, and Chabacano. Amidst this diversity there is enrichment within the district borne out of fellowship.

United we stand, divided we fall Multi-District Presidents-Elect Training Seminar By PP Jerry R. Olson Sr., PHF
“U
nited We Stand, Divided We Fall,”–these famous words have been repeated by many people throughout the years. It also can be related to Rotary, especially this year, as our 10 Rotary Districts came together in Cebu, united to make this year’s PETS the most memorable in the history of Rotary Philippines. This idea was birthed in mid 2012 when all the DGEs came together brainstorming ideas on Rotary for their terms as Governor. The idea was suggested for a Multi-District PETS/District Convention. They all agreed that this was a novel idea and one they were
12 rotary 3850
J u ly 2 0 1 3
willing to put their Time, Talent and Treasure into. The next thing was to come up with our own slogan, so our DGES started brainstorming. It was our very own District 3850 Governor Mark Ortiz that came up with “One Rotary Philippines.” So in RY 201314, we are more united than ever and “One Rotary Philippines” this year also brings a Multi- District Conference with all 10 districts meeting in Manila April 10-12 2014. We are all excited about coming together as one this Rotary Year! Those of us that were able to attend the PETS in
MD-PETS
change in our club as Membership is up four already since June and all four new members are excited civic-minded Rotarians. You can see our fellowship is outstanding and, as of date, we have had 100% attendance for each meeting this Rotary year. The creative juices in our club are flowing and I’m very sure that the other Rotary clubs in our district are feeling this new-found energy and unity in Rotary this RY 2013-14.

Cebu during February got just a small taste of what’s to come during the “One Rotary Philippines” District Conference. With Guest Speakers such as RI PE Gary Huang (D3480, Taiwan), RI Director John Boag from Australia, and PP Dr. Siva Ananthan a Rotarian from District 3300 Malaysia. Some were more eloquent speakers than others, but I’m sure, for all of us it was Dr. Siva that kept our attention throughout his entire presentation. It was also most enjoyable meeting other Rotarians throughout the Philippines and making new friends and contacts, sharing ideas on how we can do things better in Rotary. There were four of us attending from our club, the Rotary Club of Metro Roxas, and we came away with a new-found enthusiasm for Rotary and the future of our club. You can already see this
United in Rotary We Stand. That’s on the club level, district February 15-16 2013 Cebu City level, One Rotary Philippines and throughout the world! For if we are united in the spirit of Rotary helping each other to achieve, how could we ever fail? Divided in Rotary We Fall. How can Rotary function if we are divided our projects? We won’t have as much impact, our membership will drop and soon our clubs will fall. This year, let’s all come together, put away the competitiveness and the jealousy between the clubs. Do joint projects, and if we come together, I can promise you, our District will be stronger, our Clubs greater, and our Members will be active and driven to want to do more in Rotary. Thank Mama I’m a country boy and thank God I’m a Rotarian. Engage Rotary, Change Lives.

The members of the Rotary Club of Roxas, led by outgoing president Dr. Mariz Gepilano (RY 20122013), incoming president Rodolfo “Toto” Arce (RY 2013-2014) and their leadership team prepared intensely for the upcoming District Assembly 2013, which, just like all the DistAses this Rotary year, was simultaneously conducted with the District TRF Grants Management Seminar, an essential requirement for all Clubs with the rollout of Future Vision as the new grants structure for The Rotary Foundation (TRF). Thanks to the District Trainer PDG James “McGyver” Makasiar, the District TRF Committee Chair PDG Ramon “Toto” Cua Locsin, and the District Grants Sub-Committee Chair PDG David “Dave” Villanueva, all talent and resources needed by the DTTS’s and the DistAses were gathered and utilized to the max! The four events would not have been possible had it not been for their able and exceeding generosity!

D I S T R I C T A S S E M B LY (3) consecutive terms in their City legislature, during which he ably represented his City in numerous travels abroad, and is now active on Church and non-government work, foremost of which are Rotary International and the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. His Silver and Gold Foundation for Family and Life, Inc. operates a mobile soup kitchen and sponsors low-income but deserving high school students who have difficulty with their transportation in going to school. He was President of the Rotary Club of Roxas in RY 2002-2003 and has served our District as Assistant Governor in RY 2004-2005 and as chairman and member in various District Committees. The Rotary Club of Roxas which is celebrating its Golden (50th) Founding Anniversary in 2014 is proud to declare that PP
Mark Ortiz will be serving Rotary International as District Governor in RY 2013-14 starting July 1, 2013. He will “Engage Rotary, Change Lives” in this year’s upcoming theme for Rotary Year 2013-2014. The three Rotary clubs in Capiz–RC Roxas, RC Metro Roxas and RC Metro Roxas Central joined forces to make this event a success, in support of an incoming and fellow Capiznon– Governor Mark Ortiz. District 3850 is composed of 51 clubs with more than 1,200 active Rotarians from Aklan, Capiz, Iloilo, Antique, Guimaras, Negros Occidental and West of Mindanao, up to TawiTawi, including Basilan, Ipil and Jolo. Outgoing Governor Rafael “Biboy” Jocson, MD, RY 2012-2013, has sustained Rotarians in D3850 to uphold its ideals and principles of The Four (4) Way

membership and is a call to a return to the Rotary Basics. In so doing, we are not only addressing the needs of our community but promoting harmony in our relation with others.” One unique feature this year is sharing our “Rotary Moment”. This is our own personal story of a life changing experience made only through Rotary. It is quite hard to pinpoint a particular instance, but having imbued that core values of Rotary, it has become second nature in us to emulate and impart this in our daily fare. As we relive these important milestones, other people, Rotarians and non-Rotarians, would be touched firsthand on how Rotary has molded our lives. Rotarians provide the Face of Rotary and they are walking Ambassadors with their every word and action.

Just follow the simple formula below: [Month] [Zone #] [Club Name] [Number of Members] [Number of Meetings] [% of Attendance] and send to SMS ( 0999-377-9135) or email to d3850rotary201314@gmail.com.
P Stands for PAY YOUR DUES. This will keep our respective clubs functional and efficient in delivering the services that we are ought to do. Your Respective Club Secretaries and Treasurer are given the free hand to device ways of how to effectively and efficiently collect dues. THE SAR (Semi- Annual Report) is mailed to your secretary or handed through your respective Assistant Governors. Please accomplish this and furnish us ASAP.
P means PARTICIPATE. As worthy representatives for our respective vocations, we are all expected to translate Rotary ideas into reality. Each Rotary Year, Our RI President has set minimum requirement as part of the presidential citation that we can be guided upon. At the same time our District Governor has challenges set for us from where we can derive inspiration or to where our respective club goals are leading to DGE Mark Ortiz is particularly emphasizing importance of a strategic plan and signature projects that our clubs can work on for the next 3 years & beyond. L is LIVE/ LEAD ROTARY. Having been accepted into Rotary membership, we were is not merely being taken in the club. We become ambassadors of Rotary. Those who knows us will judge Rotary through our conduct. Thus LIVING and LEADING a Rotary-way-of-life is engaging the highest tenets and ideals of Rotary into our personal and professional lives. Lastly, E means ENJOY ROTARY! Rotary International begun with fellowship 108 years ago and is continuously strengthened by the same until now. Let us always enjoy Rotary’s lovely atmosphere sweet fellowship, and beautiful, lasting friendships. Let us Engage Rotary and Change Lives now! Sincerely, Victor Federico B.
