Our Joint Meeting with the Rotary Eclub of San Juan 3800 last August 16, 2012 had Senator Bongbong
Marcos as guest of honour and speaker. We wore our blue T-shirts, managed to
fill-up the Centennial Room together with visiting Rotarians from the other
Clubs namely: RC San Juan del Monte, RC San Juan West, RC Downtown San Juan, RC
Pasig South, and some Global Presidents. As expected, the Senator’s speech was
brief which gave way to a longer open forum.
This interaction with Senator Marcos enlightened us on the
peculiarities of the Multi-Party Political System in the Philippines, why he
voted to oppose the impeachment of CJ Corona, and that the Church is too
emotional about the pending RH Bill who should specify which parts of the Bill
should be deleted or amended. After the meeting, RC San Juan has proven to the
other clubs in the San Juan Zone that we can have high profile speakers even
for our regular meeting.
Cheers and enjoy Rotary J
