In a district-wide initiative committed to cultivating healthier, well-informed communities, the Rotaract Club of Mandaluyong West made waves at the Project Pinay Year 3 - Rizal Session held at Raises Montessori Academy in Taytay, Rizal! 🌟

We are immensely proud of our very own Good President Tara Michelle Ramos, who was invited as a speaker for this vital session. Tackling critical and sensitive issues on:
✨ Intimate Relationships & Boundaries
🦠 STD Types and Transmission
🤰 Adolescent & Unwanted Pregnancies
🩺 Family Planning & Reproductive Health Rights

She broke barriers by encouraging an open, inclusive, and safe dialogue for the youth. 💬✨

Given the rising challenges surrounding reproductive health education in the Philippines, there was truly no one more qualified to handle the floor. Bringing her multi-faceted expertise as a Clinical Instructor, Certified Inpatient Coder (CIC), and Registered Nurse with deep roots in Pediatrics, Maternal & Child Health, and Community Health Nursing, she provided invaluable clarity on these vital issues and delivered accurate, evidence-based guidance with utmost care and clinical leadership.

Marking her very first Project Pinay, this event was a beautiful milestone made possible through a powerful, cross-border collaboration with the Rotaract Club of Singapore and our brilliant host clubs: Rotaract Club of Angono, Rotaract Club of Caloocan, and Rotaract Club of Rodriguez. PH🤝SG

To top off an incredible multi-day initiative, the team capped everything off with a memorable fellowship night at Skyview Angono! It was the perfect opportunity for everyone to exchange ideas, enjoy a wonderful cultural exchange (alam niyo na mga kalokohan niyo hahaha), and learn more about our Singaporean friends—truly embodying the spirit of fellowship through service. 🌌🥂

Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make this session a resounding success. Together, we continue to guide, protect, and empower the future generation!

Cheers to global partnership and meaningful service! 🚀🌟

True to our commitment to look after our community, the Rotaract Club of Mandaluyong West together with the Rotary Club of Mandaluyong West and Interact Club of Mandaluyong West joined hands for Project ROCA (Rotary Cares): Alaga at Protektado para sa Future Bibo!

Our clubs headed over to Barangay Santa Cruz Community Complex in Makati to spend a meaningful Sunday morning serving local families. Together, we successfully conducted:

🍼 Diaper Distribution to give our little ones comfort.

🍊 Vitamin C Distribution to boost their immunity and health.

🩺 Vital Signs & Health Promotion to ensure our community stays strong, protected, and well-informed.

This impactful initiative would not have been possible without our generous partner, Kylledmed Philippines, and the wonderful residents of Barangay Santa Cruz who welcomed us so warmly.

A massive salute to every single volunteer who showed up and stepped up. When the whole Rotary family unites for good, real change happens! 🫡✨

What an incredible service year it has been! As we look back on everything we’ve accomplished, we are bursting with pride to celebrate our GP, Tara Michelle Ramos, for successfully completing the Year End Review!

Looking back at the past year, we’ve successfully completed 44 projects. More than just the numbers, we are truly grateful for the dedication and heart that the team poured into every single one of them. It has been a privilege to work alongside everyone as we strive to live out the "Unite for Good" theme together.

We were honored to join fellow clubs at the Year End Review hosted by the RAC of Angono last April 26, 2026, at Raises Montessori Academe. It was an inspiring day of reflection, and we want to extend a huge congratulations to all the other clubs who also completed their Year End Reviews! Seeing the collective impact we’ve all made across our district is truly heartwarming.

Thank you to everyone who supported us throughout this term. Here is to more meaningful service!
