E. Gatanela Realty — Trusted Bacolod Realtors

Encouraged by the acts of kindness that Rotarians have extended to the community, Maria Elena P. Gatanela or Daylen was inspired to join the Rotary Club of Bacolod South three years ago. And yesterday, she was already inducted as president of the organization before the presence of her family and club officers and members held at 21 Restaurant.

Daylen admitted to the group that at first she thought Rotary was just a social venue for the rich, but eventually she learned that the organization is all about service. She promises her dedication and commitment as the new president.

Daylen and the rest of the officers were inducted before Dr. Jundad Legislador, Governor of Rotary District 3850. He encouraged everyone to focus on service and fellowship above all, reminding the officers and members not to be blinded by big projects that cost millions in grants. “Every little thing extended to help is the essence of being a Rotarian,” he says.

Meanwhile, immediate past president, Vanessa Encabo pledged to support the incoming president in all their upcoming programs and projects.

The induction ceremony was graced by the chairman of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes (PCSO), Gen. Jose Jorge Corpuz, who said that they, too, at the PCSO are operating with the same mindset as Rotary.
