 Rotary Club of Holy Spirit

The Rotary Club of Holy Spirit was chartered by Rotary International on June 29, 2005 with 20
charter members. The new club encountered serious organizational and leadership challenges to
the point that only the Charter president was left as active member by the time a new set of mem-
bers led by Cong. Dodgie Osabel and Linda Palattao joined in 2008 to help reinvigorate the club.
Happily, by the end of RY 2009-2010, RC Holy Spirit had been adjudged one of the 15 most out-
standing clubs among 97 clubs in District 3780.

A medical-dental mission was organized by our

of free medical consultations while the following

Our member Rtn Dr Eui Bong Jung, Doctor of Orien-
tal Medicine and certified acupuncturist, has been
organizing and leading medical missions for pa-
tients who prefer the non-traditional, oriental medi-
cal care approach.
The latest oriental medical mission organized by Dr
Bong was held last Sunday, Oct 24, at the Payatas
Family of Christ Church. This mission served 120
poor patients including 50 dental cases.
The next oriental medical mission of Rtn Dr Bong

RCHS again demonstrated its commitment to help build
healthy communities. Last Feb 2 in Old Balara Church, and
Feb 3-4, 2011 in Halcon Mountain, Mindoro, a total of 948
patients who were mostly 'Mangyans' were given free medi-
cal services. Of these 39 were surgical patients of herniolomy
(having tumor including breast tumor).
Rotarians Mr. David In Il Kim and Dr Bong arranged for the
services of Dr. Lee Jin Yong (PHD) and Dr. Kwon Moon
Kwang (PHD) who are expert surgeons and specialists
of emergency medicine at Mother's Breast Center in Pusan,
Korea. Rev. Kim In Hyo, Mr. David Kim's brother also coop-
erated in the project.
A patient of herniolomy who has
been severely suffering for almost a
year because of lack of P250,000
for surgery, was finally operated on.

Jan 15—RCHS and Rotaract Club plant trees to
arrest serious soil erosion in Antipolo City
Last Saturday, January 15, was both a fulfilling and
fun-filled day for RCHS and its newly-organized part-
ner, the Rotaract Club of Holy Spirit. With some 50
seedlings of fire tree, ca-
ballero, guijo, and other
species with them, the
two groups proceeded to
Barangay Calawis at the
foothills of the Sierra
Madre Mountain range in
Antipolo to plant trees in
an area that has been
experiencing soil erosion. It was the first service
activity of the Rotaractors led by President James
Lorenzo. RCHS is committed to fight global warming
by planting more trees. In the near future, as Pres
Dodgie says, ―with District support, we hope to start
reforesting the badly eroded mountains of the Ma-
rikina watershed.‖
Feb 12—RC Holy Spirit and partners bring
free healthcare services to 1,600 members
of the local community
The ―Gamot Para sa Kapwa‖ medical/dental/diagnostic mis-
sion held at the Don Antonio Heights covered court and eld-
erly center last February 12, 2011 drew a large crowd mostly
from depressed areas within Barangay Holy Spirit. The
health mission was a partnership project of RCHS with the
SM Foundation as principal sponsor, the Don Antonio
Heights Homeowners Association (DAHHA), Greater Don
Antonio Heights Senior Citizens Association, and the St
Benedict’s Parish Pastoral Council (SBPPC).
PP Dr Roger Belleza, Chair of RCHS Health & Wellness,
spearheaded this project. He organized some 25 medical
practitioners who provided free consultation services to 979
patients. Dr Roger stood as exemplar of Rotary’s interna-
tional motto ―Service Above Self‖. This day, although still tired
from a medical mission the previous day, Dr Roger stayed on
until the last patient had been served.
RCHS Rotarians Dr Marlene Martinez and Dr Jong Myeong
Kim and a volunteer SMF dentist provided tooth extraction
and related services. PE Dr Terry Amado and IPP Dr Tessie
Estrellado of our sister club, RC Marikina North of District
3800, came to share their time and expertise as well. Rtn
Peth Rivera assisted the dentists while Rotaractor Kevin
Laragan and SBPPC volunteers served as dental aides. A
total of 254 dental patients were served.
Rtn Dr Myeong brought three portable dental chairs and a
complete array of dental tools and implements. It was an
inspiring sight to see Dr Myeong, a Korean like Rtns Dr Bong
and David Kim, providing free dental service to many pa-
tients, assisted by his wife and young relatives.
Rtn Dr Eui Bong Jung administered acupuncture to 20 pa-
tients, some of whom were initially scared to be needle-
pricked, but the handsome, gentle acupuncturist put his pa-
tients at ease in no time.

Jan 28-30—Interact officers complete Rotary
youth training
Interact Club of Holy Spirit President-elect Harold
Kim Maggay and Secretary Gretchen Berguera at-
tended the RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards)
Training at the Phillip‘s Sanctuary in Antipolo City
last January 28-30, 2011. It was hosted by RC Pa-
raiso QC and was the 23rd training seminar for the
youth. Aside from meeting new friends from differ-
ent Interact clubs, our Interactors were given valu-
able insights on how to be better persons and lead-
ers and in organizing effective service projects. On
the 2nd day, the participants planted trees as a sign
of their commitment to care for the environment.
Before the youngsters departed the camp site,
Global President Carmen Chua‘s parting words were:
―The ones that don‘t have the new generation pro-
grams are missing a part of the great adventure of
Rotary.‖
To Harold and Gretchen, ―this great experience will
linger for a lifetime‖ and they intend to impart what-
ever they learned during the seminar to other young
people.

on Volunteerism
Dr Bong and PE Ped Condeno (left photo above)

Guest speaker Mr Richard Gordon reminded at-

challenges of organizing and leading volunteer

A 14-man contingent from RCHS led by Pres Dodgie and Rotaract Club led by Pres James Lorenzo lent sup-
port to the District‘s Supplemental Immunization at Barangay Tatalon
in Quezon City last February 22, 2011. They were part of some 85
teams composed of a health worker and two Rotarian/Rotaractor vol-
unteers per team that distributed oral polio vaccines door-to-door in
slum areas within the barangay. The goal was to immunize some
8,000 kids (ages 6 months to 5 years old) from the dreaded poliomyeli-
tis.
The drive was a partnership project of RI District 3780 with the QC
Mayor‘s Office, Department of Health, QC Health Department, Baran-
gay Tatalon Council and Health Center, and the World Health Organiza-
tion. The DOH donated the vaccines while the QC Health Dept and
barangay health center provided the health workers.
The project supports Rotary‘s commitment to End Polio Now!

tive members. Service projects must be carefully
planned and implemented where members can
actively participate and find relevance. Members
should be made to experience not only the oppor-
tunity to serve but, more importantly, the chance to
fellowship with one another. PP Francis also said
that RI‘s priority is the recruitment of women and
young people into Rotary service. Lastly, PP Fran-
cis committed to help in the Club‘s recruitment
efforts.

To be an effective leader in Rotary, one should
imbed the philosophy of ―servant leadership‖ in
his mindset - PDG Danny Sept 22
In his talk before the officers , members and pro-
spective members of RC Holy Spirit last September
22, 2010, PDG Danny Fausto very eloquently ex-
plained the leadership mindset that would best
support the Object of Rotary. He inferred that in
Rotary, the basis of leadership is not the unequal
status of superior towards subordinates, but that
of being first among friends and equals. PDG
Danny further suggested that the foundation of
leadership is not power nor authority, but love for
friends which manifests itself in service, or one‘s
readiness to serve. Then he wove into his presen-
tation the philosophy of ―servant leadership,‖
drawing from the thoughts of well-known expert
John Maxwell.
In his presentation, PDG Danny took occasion to
explain Rotary and Rotary membership to the
guests, and why it would be best for them to join
Rotary via RC Holy Spirit in the neighbourhood.
PDG Danny in effect reinforced the effort of District
Membership Chair PP Francis Rivera who had actu-
ally persuaded three of his friends to attend the
meeting and eventually join RC Holy Spirit.
