Issue No. 4009

An organization that has built an endearing and enduring legacy for 105 years clearly ceases to be a casual aggrupation of service-inspired individuals. It indubitably becomes a durable and history-laden institution. Such is the Rotary Club of Manila, Asia's first beacon of Rotary values and channel of meaningful service projects. The Club has served as the foundation and impetus for Rotary's phenomenal growth in the country, and in this part of the world. With this cherished history and legacy, RCM carries the huge responsibility and challenge to continue to model the way, soar to even greater heights, and continue to conscientiously perform its role as a leader and trailblazer.
