✨ RPIC Team: Your Friends in Public Image ✨
Secretary Guia de Leon of Rotary Public Image Committee (RPIC) shares her insights on how dynamic the RPIC Team is. She also shares how Rotarians and Rotaractors of Zone 10A Philippines can easily approach any RPIC team member for any help in Rotary Branding, etc.

Some people have been asking me, "how can you be so loyal to this person or to this group or to this certain cause?" And I usually answer with a quotation from The Little Prince, "To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world..."
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was right, after all, with taming. We are most loving when we are friends with a certain person or team. We comply when we have faith in the system.
For years, RPIC have been known as "Branding Police." Some Rotarians would even joke, "Hey, let us be careful with our logos. The Branding Police, the RPIC Team, might see you."
And yes, RPIC team does notice... and we see a lot. Thanks to Social Networking Sites or SNS, we see not only the mistakes, but more of the goodness of the projects. We are truly inspired, yes, but we are also here to remind everyone to remain inspiring and yet united in Branding for Rotarians to become more effective ambassadors than ever.
Whenever I attend the meeting of the RPIC Team and document the Minutes of the Meeting, as their one and only Secretary, I always, always withhold myself from speaking a lot. I usually tell to myself, "Guia, this is your Student Time."
I am taking down all their unique inputs, their brilliant ideas, but more than that, I am trying to imbibe their decades of learning inside and outside of Rotary.
