A New Chapter Begins
RCAE 12th Induction and 11th Handover Ceremonies
The Rotary Club of Antipolo East officially welcomed a new chapter as we celebrated our 12th Induction and 11th Handover Ceremonies on August 25, 2026, at Gems Hotel and Conference Center, Antipolo City.
The evening formally welcomed High Impact President, Hazel Carandang Manuel as the club's new President for RY 2026 - 2027, as she took the responsibility of leading RCAE under this year's theme, "Create Lasting Impact." With President Hazel at the helm, the club looks forward to a meaningful year of service, fellowship, and making a lasting difference in the community.
We also celebrated the leadership and accomplishments of Immediate Past President Maria Cristina Rodriguez, whose year of service helped set the stage for this new chapter.
The celebration was graced by District Governor Celso Montalla and Spouse Meg, together with Past District Governors, District Officers, Rotarians, families, friends, and guests.
We also welcomed two new members into the RCAE family, bringing new energy and opportunities for service. Adding more joy to the evening was a special celebration for our August birthday celebrants, including DG Celso and SAG Lem.
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make the celebration a success, from our Rotaractors Jayme & Christine, who served as emcees; Rotaract Club of Antipolo East Ignite CP TJ and Mark of TYC Multimedia - Film and Photography, for capturing the memorable moments; our Interact Club of OLPS Antipolo East members, who facilitated registration; Rtn. Edsel of Edsel Unang Kumpanya, for the production and technical support; Spouse Gina, for ensuring a smooth and well-organized program; and our RCAE spouses and members, who generously sponsored and supported the event.
And to all our guests who came and celebrated this special milestone with us, thank you for being part of our evening. Your presence made the celebration more meaningful.
Congratultions, HIP Hazel and the RCAE family! May this Rotary year be filled with purpose, friendship, and meaningful moments of service. ✨
