CONTINUING THE WORK TOWARDS CREATING LASTING IMPACT

Every Rotary year begins with a promise: to show up, to take responsibility, and to carry the work forward.

The Rotaract Club of Metro Iloilo proudly welcomes its new set of officers for Rotary Year 2025-2026.

This role means making decisions when they are difficult, keeping the club moving when the work becomes heavy, and choosing service even when no one is watching.

To our incoming officers, thank you for saying yes. Thank you for accepting the weight of leadership with open hands and a willing heart. The year ahead will ask for patience, courage, creativity, and consistency, and we trust that each of you will bring those values into the work we are called to do.

May this term be remembered for the people strengthened, the communities reached, and the kind of fellowship built along the way.

A new year begins. The responsibility is shared. The work continues.

Together, let us Create Lasting Impact.

Ready to Lead. Called to Serve.

Leadership is measured by the willingness to serve others with integrity, compassion, and purpose. It is built through countless moments of dedication, quiet sacrifices, and an unwavering commitment to making a difference.

Today, the Rotaract Club of Metro Iloilo proudly celebrates Rtr. Stephen Nismal on his election as President-Elect for Rotary Year 2026–2027.

Stephen’s journey within our club has been one marked by commitment, humility, and genuine service. Through every project, every challenge, and every opportunity to uplift others, he has shown the qualities of a leader who leads for the betterment of the club and the communities we serve. The trust placed in him by the membership is a reflection of the confidence we have in his vision, character, and capacity to guide Metro Iloilo toward another meaningful year.

As you prepare to take on this new responsibility, know that leadership is never a journey walked alone. Behind every successful president is a fellowship of dedicated Rotaractors united by a common purpose. We are excited to stand beside you as partners in service, ready to support your vision, celebrate every milestone, and overcome every challenge together.

May this new chapter be filled with opportunities to inspire others, strengthen our bonds of fellowship, and create projects that leave lasting impact in the lives of the people and communities we serve. May your leadership encourage every member to discover their own potential and remind us all that service remains at the heart of everything we do.

We look forward to the journey ahead with confidence, hope, and excitement as we continue building a stronger Rotaract Club of Metro Iloilo, one that leads with purpose, serves with heart, and creates lasting impact.

Together, let us continue to inspire, to serve, and to make a difference.

Last April 5, 2026, a residential fire broke out in Zone 2, Brgy. Trapiche, Oton, Iloilo, leaving families devastated.

One of those greatly affected is Alfonso Moreno Jr., whose home was completely consumed by the fire—nothing was left behind. He now lives alone and is starting from zero. Alfonso works as a security guard in a subdivision in Brgy. Pali, Mandurriao, Iloilo City, and is doing his best to recover from this difficult situation.

In moments like this, even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. We humbly ask for your support to help him get back on his feet.

We are accepting the following donations:
• Clothes
• Food and basic necessities
• Bedding (pillows, blankets, mats)
• Toiletries
• Any other items that may help him

📍 For in-kind donations, you may contact Jilyn Rose R. Yap for meet-up arrangements (preferred areas: Jefferson's Ville Subdivision / Festive Walk / Mandurriao area).

💸 For monetary donations, you may send via GCash:

Let us come together to extend hope and compassion to those in need. Thank you so much for your generosity. 🙏
