Rotary greetings to everyone!
February is a special month in the Rotary calendar as it has not only been designated
World Understanding Month but also includes the anniversary of the first meeting of
Rotary held on 23rd February 1905, now designated World Understanding and Peace Day.
In designating World Understanding Month, the Rotary International board asks all Rotary
Clubs to plan programmes for their weekly meetings, and undertake special activities, to
emphasize understanding and goodwill as essential for world peace.
Once again we had a tour around the City of Baguio….in the realistic sense of the
word. And I know that we are a force to contend with insofar as doing what is good for our
city is concerned. As usual, we only have to do it the Rotary Way…and it will go a long way.
February is going to be a hectic month for the Club. We have the Valentines’ Day
affair which will be our second out-of-venue meeting. Then we will be having a month long
schedule of a activities in preparation for our 71st Charter Anniversary.
For the 14 February 09 Affair, we invite each member to bring their loved ones,
children including, for a Valentine’s Bonfire night. We hope that you would spend that special
day with the Club and we assure of good food, superb entertainment and a romantic night.
Just remember, western style!
We are, likewise preparing a Souvenir Program for our anniversary. We enjoin the
membership to do our share by either advertising or soliciting advertisers for the Souvenir
Program.
Cluster l-C had a meeting, this time, to tackle the incoming Family Day on 13 -15
March 09 to be held, tentatively, at Teachers’ Camp, Baguio City. 13 March 09 is set for golf,
basketball and bowling; 14 March 09 for amazing race and fun games. The evening of the
said day will be a bonfire party and awards. 15 March 09 is rest day or exclusively for the
members and their families to enjoy the beauty and fun our city has to offer.
The main contribution of the Rotary Club of Baguio in the Cluster project will be
the 3rd Leg of the Governor’s Cup Golf Tournament which would be held at Baguio Country
Club, Baguio City. Again, I invite everyone to participate and ‘ hit the ball or, maybe, ‘watch
the ball’, so to speak.
Last Thursday, 5 February 09, the members of the Committee on Golf had a meeting
to prepare for the said golf tournament. PE Mia, Committee chair reminds everyone that
solicitation letters were distributed to the membership in support of affair.
This Saturday, 7 February, 09, we will be exposed to the world of responsible
broadcasting by our Guest of Honor and Speaker, Pia Gutierrez of ABS-CBN.
Thought for the week:
A Japanese soldier by the name of Oneda has not heard that World War
II was over. He continued to fight in a small island in the Philippines. People tried
all kinds of ways to let him know that the war was over. They dropped fliers and
tried other ways to communicate with him. He said, “I will not stop fighting unless
my Captain tells me personally to quit”. So they went back to Japan and found his
Captain and took him to the Philippines to tell the soldier. Then 30 years after the
war was over in l974, he said, “ I will now stop fighting because the last thing my
Captain told me was to fight to the end”. Someone asked him, “Has anything good
happened to you in these 30 years?” He said, “No, nothing good had happened in
these 30 years”.
Nothing good happens when we are fighting and not at peace.

in RETROSPECT
The Meeting That Was
31 January 09
Rtn. Libby Fernandez
The Training Center is definitely the place to be….ready for the touch of beauty and grace…. it is the Ladies’
Day! Early birds at the hall of golden ribbons were the Rotary Anns truly excited to start the Rotary Ann Year with a
“feel’! At 12:40 in the afternoon the meeting was called to order, with VP Marilyn directing the way the affair
would go. Ann Coring gave a very touching Invocation through a reading on the essence of forgiveness. After the
Pambansang Awit, the membership rendered the singing of the Rotary Hymn, as usual, with gusto.
RAPP Josie Chan gamely entertained the membership with two songs, one for the young and one for the old.
Then PP Mike, the (other), Centennial Man, introduced the guests and those at the presidential table. PN Ben prepared
quiz for the finest moment where members were fined P100 if they fail to give the correct answer. At this point, VP
Marilyn doubly tasked by acting as Program Coordinator and Treasurer at the same time! I bet it was a tough job….
but very well done!
The Raffle Table looked all so organized with bags of Baguio Country Club goodies…of course, by the ever
reliable RAPP Yolly and Rotary Anns! Lucky winners were Sec. Gerard (who won three times and waived one), Rtn.
Joe (who won twice), Ann Yolly, PP Helmut, PP Chris, Rtn. Chris Faelnar, Dir. Ike and PN Ben.
For Members’ Time Rtn. Chris, Fellowship Head, reminded the February 14 Committee members to stay for
a real quick meeting; PP Mike announced the “I ‘soup’ port Breast Cancer Awareness project of Venture Club Baguio
for 1 February 09. No wonder he was going around selling tickets to the ladies! Also he mentioned the Heart Month
Project: Walk - A- Mile- For –Your- Heart by Notre Dame with Philippine Heart Association Northern Luzon Chapter,
headed by Dr. Edwin Cosalan.
Sec. Gerard informed the Club that only half of the membership have paid for the Paul Harris Fellow Raffle
and encouraged everyone to update their payments.
For the President’s Time, Pres. Bert reminded the membership of the payments of our Rotary dues for the
general fund; reading the letter of gratitude sent by the Baguio Centennial Commission for our participation in the
successful Medical, Surgical, Dental Mission; month long events this in commemoration of the RCB 7lst Charter
Anniversary scheduled for 28 February 09. Birthday celebrant PP Mike got his share of hugs, handshakes and kisses
….ice cream follows, of course!
PP Johnny gave a very amiable yet informative introduction of our Guest of Honor and Speaker who spoke
not only of land disputes in Baguio but of the so many issues affecting the City of Baguio. The questions by the
membership only reflected their interests and concern for our not-so-well-directed city. Issues such as garbage, market,
public lands, sanitary landfill and traffic conditions were not spared. Once again, we had a true-to-life tour in our
very own city, We only have to do our share to give Baguio the life it use to have. Our Honored Speaker really needs
so much time to discuss all these matters. He did admit that city needs our very own Rtn. Jody for the planning for a
better Baguio. Rtn. Jody, why not?
After a response by yours truly, the membership sang Pilipinas Kong Mahal and the meeting was adjourned
at 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon.

ROTARY INFORMATION
RI PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:
FEBRUARY IS WORLD UNDERSTANDING MONTH
Dear fellow Rotarians,
I grew up in a small village, the same village where my family had lived for many generations. I lived close
to many members of my extended family, and our family traditions were very strong. In those days, few Koreans ever
traveled abroad, and there was very little Western influence. My home, my language, and my culture were all I knew.
When I was in my 20s, I made a decision that would shape the rest of my life. With my father’s encouragement,
I traveled to the United States to work and to study. I chose San Francisco as my destination and spent nearly two years
there, taking classes and learning English. I made my way working at several entry-level jobs.
It is difficult even today to describe what an impact that experience had on me. Everything, and everyone,
was different. I was used to seeing only Korean faces; in San Francisco, I saw people from all over the world. I worked
hard on my English and in my job. I learned what it was like to be the person who did not understand, who cleaned up
after others, who took orders but never gave them. I learned how large the world outside my village really was. And
those experiences sent me back to Korea changed.
When I returned to join my father’s business in Seoul, I knew what it was like to be a worker at the bottom
of an organizational hierarchy – and that affected how I treated my employees. I knew what it was like to do physical
labor all day – and that gave me increased respect for those who worked in every kind of job. Perhaps most important,
I knew how much of the world lay beyond my own experience. I knew that there were so many different countries and
cultures, so many different people in the world. I knew that as much as we are all different, we are all essentially the
same. And I knew that everyone, everywhere, sometimes needs help from others.
In Rotary, February is World Understanding Month – a time to focus on the importance of goodwill and
understanding for peace. It is a time for all of us to pause and consider how we are pursuing Rotary’s fourth Avenue of
Service – International Service – because it is our international service, and our international fellowship, that will do
the most to help us all build a more peaceful tomorrow.

Great Mind Has a
Purpose
EIC Dhory Vicencio
GREAT SCOTT!!
Emmett Lathrop “Doc” Brown, Ph.D. is a
fictional scientist and one of the lead characters in the
Back to the Future motion picture trilogy. The character’s
appearance and mannerisms are loosely inspired by
Leopold Stokowski and Albert Einstein. In the Back to
the Future universe, he is the inventor of the first time
machine, which he builds out of a De Lorean sports car.
His earlier inventions met with limited success, but he was
able to build a large refrigerator and steam locomotive
time machine in 1885.
“Doc”, as he is referred to by his best friend,
Marty McFly is a scientist by trade. Doc is a “student
of all sciences” and spends much of his time inventing.
The folks in Hill Valley believe that if they

for people with his preaching and good examples.
He stirs the lives of the people around him just as
Doc Emmett shifts the lives of Marty McFly in the Back
to The Future trilogy. Doc Emmet is a genius in science
and technology while Rtn. Herb Hayes is a genius of life,
knowledge and values.
Rtn. Herb Hayes need not build a time machine
to present what lies ahead…his acumen allows him to lead
others to decent, respectable, virtuous, noble existence.
Rtn. Herb contributes to the good fellowship of
Rotary Club of Baguio, as he is undeniably one of the
coolest guys in the club. More so, he plays an important
role in Rotary service as:
The folks of Baguio believe that if they needed a
Rotarian day or night , they could simply call Rtn. Herb and he’d be there to do whatever service a Rotarian would be required for.
