The End Turned out to be the Beginning

             The transition from being Rotaractors to Rotarians, is indeed ‘magical’. This had been the dream of PP Edison “Magic” Ong. He was mentor to a number of Rotaractors, and he envisioned that Rotaractors must be trained to be Rotarians for continuity of service.

 

              It is indeed a big move for the charter members of the Rotary Club of San Pedro Magic to be Rotarians. The members decided that it is high time for them to start a difference in District 3820 to form a Rotary club composed of former Rotaractors. RC San Pedro Magic is the second club named in honor of Sir ‘Magic’, the Rotary Club of Manila Magic being the first.

 

                The club members are composed of professionals trained during their Rotaract years. They were members of  the Rotaract Club of San Pedro East, hailed Most Outstanding Club for ten consecutive years in District 3820. They were able to conduct projects such as “Big Ate Kuya, “RACSPE Academy”, “Young Once”, “Project HOPE” and the notable “Greenvironment” which was recognized as Outstanding project in the Asia Pacific Region by the Rotary International – to  mention a few. This proves that the members have shared their talents, and will still be sharing it now in this special changeover.    

 

                The past presidents of RACSPE, are also part of the dynamic Magical San Pedro team. CP Mhon Brazas was a Past President of RACSPE and a PDRR of District 3820. Also a member of the club is RACSPE Charter President Tracy Bedico, along with Past Presidents Cristine Reyes, Asel Punzalan, Sonny Urfano, Francis Gutierrez, Anthony Jasareno and Zennia Zamora. They had competitive, and innovative service projects during their terms, which prove that they will be able to contribute more to Rotary.

 

                RC San Pedro Magic was chartered during the term of 3820 District Governor Jojo De Guia, with the help of DGSRs PP Reggie Ponce (RC Sta. Cruz) and PP Erwin Serrano (RC San Pedro South New Generations). The club also gained support from Rotarians Oliver Alvarez, CP Charlie Chua and friends from the Rotary Club of Manila Magic RID 3810. They all believed in the club’s potentials. They encouraged the club members to pursue this divergence the club is going to make in District 3820.

 

                The journey for RC San Pedro Magic has just begun. This is indeed a challenge the members are ready to face. The vision of Sir Magic is continuing to become a reality. The former Rotaractors are now ready as Rotarians, and that is what they call: THE Magical transition.
