My Rotary Club of Masambong Joins the Rotary International 3780 Children's Christmas Party

Bannerhead of the RI Rotary District 3780 Children's Christmas Party

Christmas is always about Children and what better way for us Grown-ups to share our Blessings and Joy with kids of our less-fortunate families.  For this year 2011, the Rotary International District 3780 (to which my Rotary Club of Masambong is affiliated with) together with the support of the Philippine National Police held it at the relatively huge PNP Multi-purpose Center inside the Camp Crame, headquarters of the Philippines' Police Force.

RC of Masambong beneficiary were 20 selected studes from the Masambong Elementary School
These are Teachers  Jo & Marilyn & Grade 3 studes of the Masambong Elementary School that the Rotary Club of Masambong sponsored


Not only resources in assets were provided but members of the Police Force were present together with fellow Rotarians in making sure the event will be a Success and in fact, it was as there were about 500 kids laughing and screaming to their heart's content.

The event started quite early (around 7:30am) when our Current Club President Erwin Cuzon along with Club Secretary Jonalyn Alibangbang picked-up our Special Little Guests from the Church in Del Monte, Quezon City (North of Manila).

Traffic was bad as December 9, 2011 happened to be also the day the Philippine's Past President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, on order of the Courts, was escorted from the newly-built St Luke's Hospital in classy The Fort, Taguig City to be placed under hospital-arrest (a term new to the whole wide world, I think) at the government-owned Veterans Memorial Hospital in Quezon City (Trivia:  While the government hospital may not be as spanking new as St Luke's, it does have its own Golf Course which may be the Ultimate Amenity for the Rich and Famous.  Can any world-class hospital top that???)  .

 It was also the day when the weather did not cooperate and school classes were suspended due to the rains thereby making worse an already-horrendous traffic situation along the stretch of EDSA, Manila's Main Thoroughfare.

Finally, our Group reached the venue and there were already a lot of kids chatting away and eating and eating lots of ice cream.  (There were a number of ice cream carts strategically scattered along the long hall way.  Credit to the logistic prowess of the PNP.)

This boy was so absorbed in eating his ice cream


Kids and Ice cream go together very well:

I couldn't resist taking this pic of a boy holding an ice cream cone and in deep thought.  I wonder what was on his mind??

It's a great feeling licking Ice Cream

How many kids with an Ice Cream cone in hand?

 As part of our community service, Rotary District 3780 Gov J Cifra is seen talking with the children about our Policeman and their part in the lives of our children.

After the Ice Cream, comes the Games and there were several held which created the most excitement among the throngs of kids everywhere:

Despite the thrill, the little girl had time to face the cam for a good pic!


Notice the little girl's BIG SMILE as she holds tightly her classmates in the hope of winning the newspaper dance


Noticed the Rope hanging above the boy's head if he fails to shoot the straw into the bottle.  Joke Joke

These 2 Masambong studes won a Best Dance round (see P50 bill on hand)
From Teacher Jo's huge smile, obviously her proteges WON!

Notice that the Pabitin under heavy POLICE PROTECTION to make sure no adults will ASSAULT the Pabitin.

After all the shouting and jumping around, it is now to CHOW courtesy of Jollibee (who else but the kids' favorite spot):
Kids scrambled to get their pics with Jollibee. (Notice the small boy with 2 hands raised)
More kids. And remember the kid, his hand up in protest!!! (hehehehe)

Jollibee and friend doing a Dance to the delight of the kids
Even these 2 Lady Policemen could not help but show their SMILES while escorting Jollibee's friend





These 2 Educators represent the UNSUNG HEROES OF OUR PHILIPPINE SOCIETY.  In their hands they hold the KEY TO THE FUTURE LEADERS OF OUR COUNTRY AND OF OUR BUSINESSES.  AND YET, not enough Tools and Care are given to them in molding our precious future leaders.

I expressed my opinion to my fellow Rotarians at the Rotary Club of Masambong that if there ever  is a noble project that I would want to be a part of, it will be a PROJECT THAT WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT OUR YOUTH.  I feel that not enough is done to help our EDUCATORS to do a much much better job in preparing our Youth not only to be Responsible Citizens but to make full use of the Body that our Creator has ONLY lent us.


The finale:

The End

Oooops!!!  NOT QUITE THE END.  MORE LIKE A P.S. Some Kids pics to share with you. I love taking images of Children.

It is in the PURITY of their poses.

Notice all the pics.  There is almost always ONE sweet face looking at the cam.


FINALLY, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY READERS.

By the way, I am conducting a One-on-One Consultation on How to Setup and Operate Your Own Lotto Outlet. Topics include How to Evaluate a Site for Lotto, The Proper Way to Apply with the PCSO, Actual Operations, How to Prevent Fraud, How to Compete Against Other Lotto Outlets and many more. Please allot at least 2 hours for each session. My fee is only P2,000 per person (Group discount available). Just text me your full name and "Lotto Setup" to 0922-8831225 or call 514-2905 for details.



Acquiring a Lotto outlet is a lot cheaper than purchasing a Franchise from Zagu (P320,000) or Siomai House (P250,000) and it is simple to operate.



Latest news: PCSO has lowered the Cash Bond requirement and an individual is now allowed to own 3 lotto outlets.
