Talk on African Swine Fever






February 20, 2020 - The Club invited a speaker from PILMICO to address the concern of some members about the foreseen pork shortage  in the region due to AFRICAN SWINE FEVER ( ASF ). Mr. Arnel Calda, BS Animal Science graduate and animal production specialist talked about the AFRICAN SWINE FEVER (ASF ). He presented ASF statistics on the recorded cases of ASF in MINDANAO where majority of our pork supply comes from.  Members/spouses shared their thoughts on this national food security issue.

According to the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS), ASF is a highly contagious viral disease that affects pigs, warthogs, and boars .  ASF is not considered though as a human health threat ( rappler article ).


This talk is made possible through the club treasurer, Rtn. Rocel Baclayon, who also sponsored the club's dinner.

Rotary Clubs invite speakers who can provide insight, information, entertainment or other relevant content in order to give members another reason to look forward to each meeting.( buildingtherotarybrand.blogspot.com)

EREY and TRF Target : Mission Accomplished

TRF Performance of the Club for Rotary Year 2019-2020:









Give where the need is greatest

When you give to The Rotary Foundation, you fuel our service projects - projects that eradicate polio, promote peace, and improve developing communities.
For the past two months, the TRF Chair PP Toots Pongos assisted by the Club President Maricel Ngo, aggresively campaigned among their members to contribute to the TRF. Their efforts paid off as members' TRF contributions started to pour.  For a period of five weeks, the club exceeded its target with $4,956 actual contribution which is $356 more than club's target of $4600.
Below is a bar graph showing the TRF Contribution Performance of the Club over a 5-week period. Seen below are some photos of the deposit slips  paid by each member to the TRF.
