A total of 3,000 families affected by the recent flooding in Calasiao and Dagupan City received much-needed assistance through Project Damayan, a relief initiative made possible through the efforts of BDO Foundation in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Central Pangasinan, Inc. (RCCP), with the special participation of the Inner Wheel Club of Central Pangasinan (IWCCP) and Ednas School Dagupan Batch ’93 Alumni Association, Inc. (ESDB93AAI).

The initiative was made possible through BDO Foundation, led by Area Head Ms. Liat Katubig and Ms. Glenda Viado, whose participation also carried a special connection to the project as she is a member of the Inner Wheel Club of Central Pangasinan.

The relief operation began in Calasiao, where 1,500 families received relief goods at the Sts. Peter and Paul Parish Church.

The group then proceeded to Dagupan City, where the remaining relief goods were distributed to families in Barangay Salisay.

The first distribution point in Dagupan was held at the Salisay Barangay Hall, where 1,000 families received assistance.

Dagupan City Mayor Belen T. Fernandez led the distribution together with Vice Mayor BK Kua and Punong Barangay Ferdinand Bangsal of Barangay Salisay.

Several members of the Dagupan City Council were also present, along with personnel from the Dagupan City Police Office (DCPO), the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and members of the Salisay Barangay Council, who helped support and facilitate the relief operation.

The final distribution was held at Salisay Elementary School, where another 500 flood-affected families received relief goods.

The Dagupan City Water District also extended valuable assistance to the operation by lending its dump truck to transport the relief goods from the Dagupan City Plaza to Barangay Salisay.

Leading the Rotary Club of Central Pangasinan was President Jason Estrada, together with President-elect Jun Viado, Past Presidents Mike Villamor and Mer Concepcion, Directors Merissa Villamor and Ricky Parayno, Treasurer Mikey Fabe, and Rotarians Ronnie Mauricio, Lady Macaranas, Mauee Lapeña, Rizza Paramio, and Rose Cabatbat.

The Inner Wheel Club of Central Pangasinan was represented by Past Presidents Nila Torres, Chit Concepcion, and Shay Torres, together with Marlene Tandoc and Ms. Glenda Viado, who also represented BDO Foundation during the relief operation.

The Ednas School Dagupan Batch ’93 Alumni Association, Inc. was likewise represented by Association President and Rotarian Ronnie Mauricio, Director Mark Lapeña, Alumni Charter President Mauee Lapeña, Lady Ritualo, and Jason Estrada.

Through the collective efforts of BDO Foundation, RCCP, IWCCP, ESDB93AAI, the Dagupan City Water District, local government officials, law enforcement and fire personnel, barangay officials, and volunteers, Project Damayan was able to reach 3,000 families and provide timely assistance to communities recovering from the effects of the floods.

RCCP JOINS CLUSTER 2-B BLOODLETTING PROJECT

The Rotary Club of Central Pangasinan, Inc. (RCCP) joined fellow Rotarians and community partners in a bloodletting activity organized by the Rotary Clubs of Cluster 2-B of Rotary International District 3790 on August 22, 2026, at the Knights of Columbus Chamber of Saint Gabriel the Archangel Parish (SGAP) in Bonuan Boquig, Dagupan City.

Led by President Jason Estrada, RCCP participated in the humanitarian initiative alongside the Rotary Club of Downtown Dagupan (RCDD), the project’s initiating club under President Hep Vinluan, together with the Rotary Club of Dagupan, Rotary Club of Uptown Dagupan 2000, and Rotary Club of Dagupan East.

Representing RCCP during the activity were President Jason Estrada, Past President Nats Alipio, and Public Image Director Claire Enrile, who joined the gathering not only to support the blood donation drive but also to strengthen the spirit of fellowship and cooperation among the Rotary clubs of Cluster 2-B.

Held in partnership with the Knights of Columbus, the SGAP Social Services Ministry, and Region 1 Medical Center (R1MC), the activity provided an opportunity for Rotarians and volunteers to give something as simple as a portion of their blood yet potentially make a life-changing difference to someone in need.

For RCCP, the bloodletting activity was a meaningful reminder that Rotary service does not always require grand projects, as a single act of generosity can become a vital contribution to the life and recovery of another person.

President Hep Vinluan of RCDD, in welcoming the participants, highlighted the importance of sustaining a culture of voluntary blood donation, particularly because hospitals and patients depend on the availability of safe blood during medical emergencies, surgeries, accidents, childbirth complications, and serious illnesses.

Assistant Governor Florentino “Jojo” Cuison likewise emphasized the value of working together as a cluster, pointing out that stronger cooperation among the clubs allows them to maximize their collective resources and capabilities while creating opportunities for individual clubs to grow through shared service experiences.

The activity was further strengthened by the participation of the Inner Wheel Club of Downtown Dagupan, Eagles Club, Lions Club, and other non-government organizations and community volunteers who shared in the common objective of helping save lives.

RCCP’s participation underscores the club’s commitment to supporting worthwhile Cluster 2-B initiatives and building stronger partnerships through service, reinforcing its Rotary Year 2026–2027 call to Stay Informed. Stay Inspired. Stay Rotary.

Oplan A.R.U.G.A. Brings Relief to Flood-Affected Evacuees at Two Separate Venues in Dagupan City

DAGUPAN CITY – The Rotary Club of Central Pangasinan (RCCP), in partnership with the Inner Wheel Club of Central Pangasinan (IWCCP) and the Ednas School Dagupan Batch ’93 Alumni Association, Inc. (ESDB93AAI), conducted Oplan A.R.U.G.A. at two separate evacuation venues – the Dagupan City National High School (DCNHS) Compound and West Central Elementary School 2 (WCES2) – to provide immediate food assistance to families displaced by flooding.

The relief operation served approximately 328 evacuees at the DCNHS Compound and 122 evacuees at WCES2, providing bulalugaw, pandesal, and bottled water to help meet the immediate needs of the affected families.

Initiated and spearheaded by RCCP, the project brought together the three organizations in a collaborative response to the flooding, with RCCP led by President Jason Estrada, together with PP Mer Concepcion, PP Mike Villamor, PP Nats Alipio, Director Merissa Villamor, Director Claire Enrile, Director Ricky Parayno, Club Treasurer Mikey Fabe, Rtn. Aldrin Sotong, Rtn. Ronnie Mauricio, and Rtn. Mauee Lapeña.

The Inner Wheel Club of Central Pangasinan participated through President Marie Poserio, PP Nila Torres, and PP Chit Concepcion, while the Ednas School Dagupan Batch ’93 Alumni Association, Inc. joined the initiative through President Ronnie Mauricio, Charter President Mauee Lapeña, and Jason Estrada, who, while serving as active Rotarians and among the principal proponents of the project, also represented their Batch ’93 alumni organization in extending assistance to the evacuees.

The partnership demonstrated how existing relationships and shared commitments among the three organizations can be translated into immediate action, allowing Oplan A.R.U.G.A. to reach evacuees in two separate locations and provide them with much-needed food and basic necessities.

RCCP President Jason Estrada said that the project was born out of the desire to respond quickly to the needs of families affected by the flooding, particularly those who had been displaced from their homes and were seeking temporary shelter in evacuation centers.

“When we learned that our fellow Dagupenos had been displaced by the flooding, we knew that we had to do something immediately, and Oplan A.R.U.G.A. gave us an opportunity to bring together Rotary, Inner Wheel, and our Batch ’93 family in one meaningful effort, reaching evacuees in two separate venues and providing them with something warm to eat and basic necessities at a time when they needed them most,” Estrada said.

The activity reflects RCCP’s commitment to Create Lasting Impact by responding to urgent community needs through service, partnership, and collective action, while demonstrating that meaningful assistance becomes even more effective when organizations work together for the community.
