✨ What a night! ✨
The Rotary Club of Manila Pugad Lawin celebrated its 9th Induction and Handover Ceremony, making it truly a night to remember. The evening kicked off with a successful Governor's Visit, setting a perfect tone for the festivities. 🤝
The program began with IPP Lito Carino calling the event to order, followed by PE Edmund Rogando’s warm welcome to our distinguished guests. Our very own CP William Rogando then delivered a beautiful opening message. 🗣️
The highlight of the evening was the induction of our new officers. PP Ryan Chua introduced the new leadership team, who were then charged with wisdom by PDG Edmond Aguilar. District Governor Mary Mei Rodrigo then officially inducted and pinned them, marking the start of their new journey. 📌
The night continued with a special moment as UCP Jeremi Gutierrez presented a leadership award to IPP Lito Carino for his outstanding work during the Magical Year of Rotary (R.Y. 2024-2025). The spotlight then turned to our United Chosen President, UCP Jeremi Gutierrez, who gave a fantastic and interactive inaugural speech! 🎤
We were also thrilled to welcome new members to our club! 🎉 PP Eduardo Casares introduced them, and DGN Jun Pasion provided his guidance before UCP Jeremi Gutierrez led their oath-taking and induction.
District Governor Mary Mei Rodrigo then shared an inspiring message with the club, introduced by PP Raffy Munoz. The mood was electric as all the United Chosen Presidents and DG Mary Mei Rodrigo joyfully danced to their batch song! 💃🕺
To show our gratitude, UCP Jeremi Gutierrez presented tokens of appreciation to DGN Jun Pasion, PDG Edmond Aguilar, and DG Mary Mei Rodrigo for their incredible support. PE Edmund Rogando wrapped up the official program with his heartfelt closing remarks. 💖
But the celebration wasn't over yet! The fellowship began with a lively performance from the Rainmakers, filling the room with music and laughter. The night ended on a high note with a thrilling raffle draw, facilitated by Rtn. Mike Abulencia and Rtn. Nico Singzon. 🎁
A huge thank you to District 3810 and the entire Governor's Team for their valuable guidance and presence. Your support means so much to us! 🙏 We also extend our deepest gratitude to all the guests: the District team, UCPs, families, and fellow Rotarians who made the event a huge success.
Congratulations to all our newly inducted members, officers, and directors! 👏 We are so excited for a fantastic year of service above self, and we look forward to the wonderful projects we will implement together! Let's make this year amazing! 🚀
