EDWIN O. AFZELIUS, JR. GOVERNOR, 2017-2018 ROTARY CLUB OF ALABANG M AKATI ▪ TAGUIG ▪ PATEROS ▪ PARAÑ AQUE ▪ L AS PIÑAS ▪ MUNTINLUPA ▪ PALAWAN 25 July 2017 To Incoming President Cris Carreon and the distinguished members of the Rotary Club of Paranaque South: I convey my sincere best wishes and congratulations to your club as it conducts its 28 th Handover and Induction Ceremonies for the Year 2017-2018. I am certain it will be another sterling year for the Rotary Club of Paranaque South since it was chartered on 21 February 1990. Every member deserves to be congratulated for their involvement, thereby achieving tremendous successes in all your service projects through the years. Behind every success, there is effort and dedication present. And these can be found in your past leaders, starting from your club’s outstanding Charter President Joc-Joc Bolante, who owns the distinction of being a district governor, RI director and RI treasurer. Allow me to make mention also of another brilliant member of your club who served our district outstandingly, Past Governor Boyet Limon. The succeeding presidents in your colourful existence as a club up to Immediate Past President Archie Orbeta ensured that these achievements were not for naught and ensured the status of your club as one of the most outstanding Rotary clubs in District 3830. Likewise, I commend several of your club members who offered their time, talent and expertise as district officers through the years. Let their leadership and the camaraderie in your club be shining examples for other Rotary clubs and Rotarians to emulate. The idealism and passion to serve are very evident, and as your club enters its 28 th year, I wish you many more successes in your undertakings. I thank you all for the great support you continue to extend to the district and the communities you serve, and together, let us continue to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the lives of others and ourselves!

To My Fellow Rotarians, Allons-y! It is indeed my privilege and utmost appreciation to the rotary Club of Parañaque South for entrusting me to be their All Star Team President for the Rotary Year 2016-2017. The recently concluded Rotary year marked by the theme “Rotary serving Humanity” has been the one of the challenging and rewarding story arc of my life. From maintaining our signature project of Hapi bags to various projects that involves club and district projects, I consider myself as fortunate to be serve in the capacity of President in my beloved Rotary Club. The theme of my induction and handover ceremony was “Regeneration”. The main reason for it is because I always saw the changing of the guards of leading a Rotary Club is like a person being reborn but still remains the same person. The incoming President might have different skills, personalities and resources from his predecessor but he should have the same outstanding qualities of being a Rotarian – and for that no other description would encompass the role of being a rotary Club President but to be a “Servant Leader”. However, it is not only the changing of Club President that perpetuates the concept of Regeneration. Upon assuming the role of Servant Leader, one is transformed to be a better version of one self. It is a subconscious development in the person’s psyche, personality and behavior that one develops oneself into a more “Humanitarian” upgrade on their whole self. It would be a far cry of declaring oneself of without flaws after serving as Rotary Club President, but rather in some way, things that are truly important in one’s life or in society have become clearer and more worthwhile that what one might regard as important at certain point in their life. It is in this concept that one may declare to have been regenerated to be a better part of the human race. === I would like to thank my Governor, Edna Sutter, for being a symbol of light that continuously guides all ASTPs in enjoying and being productive in this Rotary year. To my Club’s Past Presidents who have joined me in this roller coaster of experience and challenges. Thank you very much, gentlemen, for never giving up and continuously guiding me amidst my stubbornness and youthful neurosis. To our club members who have believed in my capacity as President and for giving me the strength to endure the weight of leadership. == Thank you very much to my wife, Glenna, my children, Jenson and Caitlin for your understanding and for allowing me to become a part on the world of Rotary. This role as RC President have brought both joy and difficulties to our family but I am glad that after this worthwhile experience, we have remained a Richards Type Family that is worthy to be deemed as Four the Fantastic. To my parents and siblings, who have supported me in this newest endeavor in my life and have always been my inspiration in being a servant above oneself. Most importantly, I would like to thank our Almighty Father for giving me this opportunity to be a servant leader and for giving me the courage to continue his will thru the service of others. === Lastly, as I close on the theme of Regeneration, what is now important is to continue the legacy of the club and to allow the next generation to lead the club amidst the challenges and trials of life. Simply put, to use the famous story teller named Kishimoto’s dialogue into use: “I think it’s a lot like faith. To keep believing, trying, and enduring until you finally become able. Because people entrust us to their hopes and rely on us to carry on. Perhaps that is what makes us Rotarians.” Again, thank you and be excellent to each other. Sincerely, Archimedes “Archie” Orbeta All Star Team President Rotary Year 2016-2017 7
