Dear Lord,
Bless us once more today, as we gather in your
presence for another chance at fellowship,
camaraderie, and sometimes serious discussions
on matters of great consequences.
Thank You for the meal that we share today
with our fellow Rotarians and friends, and grant
us more blessing which we can share with
others all the days of our life.
And lastly, grant us peace, harmony and
stability that will help carry us through another
millennium.
Amen

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark’ sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do
But They’re really saying, “I love you”.
I hear babies crying, and I watched them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
Oh yeah

Pres. Ner P. Laiño
Fellow Pasig Rotarians:
Only thirty (30) Rotarians attended our October 8 meeting but
practically all stayed up to the last minute. The topic of retired
Gen. Hernando SJ Lopez, PMA Class 1966, was apparently
interesting - - the BBL, and his discussion even touched on
Abraham, who we all know is the father of many nations. On the
subject of BBL, he reminded us that our Muslim brothers in
Mindanao are very poor, and according to the information of PP
Bert Albano and PP Peping Mabanta, in spite of the many millions
that our government has appropriated for the development of
Mindanao.
Bearing in mind the good suggestion of our Board that my
messages should no longer deal on the detailed matters of
collection, I however feel it is important to report:
1. That as announced by PP Rel, we will have a grand celebration
of our founding anniversary because it will be our 45th. PE
Ogie has already announced before that our Board has decided
to hold only a modest celebration but the Board can always
change its mind.
2. That we will no longer have the free Christmas party we used
to have c/o Rtn. Chony Gimenez at the DAMPA restaurant.
This time, it will be at the expense of all RC Pasig members
and it will be Rtn. Edison Go who will make all the
preparations.
3. That Secretary John Javier has been requested to set soonest
the meeting with the PLP president to finalize our college
scholarship.

4. That we will definitely have our mass for our deceased
Rotarians at the Baras Rm. VVCC on October 29 at 6PM and
that our fellowship will be after the mass.
5. That we will have a club assembly meeting today and also the
signing of our sister club renewal agreement with RC Balayan.
In closing, it will again be same message - - Let us all be Rotarians
not only first class but best class and, if possible, world class.

PP Benny P. De Guzman
We had a real Manileño to be guest speaker last week, Brig. Gen.
Hernando Lopez, an invitee of PP Bert Albano. Despite his very thin
frame, he maintains his vegetarian diet, that he requested to be seated
in the Presidential table because he could not bear the coolness of our
aircon. He was a Rotarian but gave up when he retired as he is back
in Manila. His Rotary years were based on his assigned places, i.e..,
in Palawan & Zamboanga. Like PP Celso, he wanted to be a priest.
As early as last month when we told the group of our Annual
Memorial Day, PP Bert offered the lechon right away. Last meeting,
he offered if we would prefer the big fresh Tuna. Tunay na Tuna.
Brand Sikat-Tuna. It is well known kaya sikat. Kaya pala bilis
magdonate ni Bert, birthday niya that day.
The board finally decided to drop off some names due to non-
attendance. However, my sponsored Rotarian, Andy Tan’s request to
return his classification was turned down. He offered instead financial
assistance in any project. Pwede namang financial assistance without
returning the classification, hindi ba.
His two sisters are more active in their San Juan club where Andy
also started. Sister Pilar, very active also in Red Cross, decided to
spend her birthday with a bang with a request that instead of gifts to
her, any donation to the Red Cross Rizal chapter be made she was
able to raise half a million pesos that Sunday night.
Spouse Dette assured me PP Bobby would be coming to our meeting
this birthday month of his..after today, we will have two more
meetings, the last one for the month would be our Memorial Day. It
would be nice to have sort of a reunion if we can get all the rest of the
October celebrants to pitch in. PPs Peping & Topax donated the
lechon last week. But the other honorees are quite aplenty to host the

meeting as we would go back for a day at La Colina as we expect
some visitors.
Sana we could get a donation of musical group as that would be a
nice fellowship of sorts.
WCP Ner is so concerned about financial matters that the golf
proceeds and the settlements of some major collectibles last week
buoyed up his collection drive. He is enthused on time management
especially on the President’s time in our regular meetings. His
President’s column is now 1 page.
We are lucky the remnants of the chocolate boys are still as active as
ever. Most inspiring of this group is PN Dr. Jess who is a contributor
both for our high school scholars and the costly college scholars.
What is happening to our country? Akala ko election is for our
Pangulo ng Pilipinas. PANGGULO ang nangyari, in the first day
pa lang 22 registered as candidate for President, that seemingly easily
about six of them are not even taxpayers. That former PCGG Head,
Camilo Sabio, a stroke victim could hardly walk. That Buboy Syjuco
is trying to ward off cases at the Ombudsman know they would not
land in the first six, but, are making the cost for Comelec higher.
Baka madaya tuloy tayo with the confusion.
Our fellow Rotarian, for the first time missed our induction last July,
is aware that our club does not have much muscle to help in any
elections BUT we are not aware of what he will run for. Of course,
we hear news that sister is running for his congressional seat.
The Philippine Rotary should support the ShelterBox program of
Rotary and we should pray for the Syrians especially the dislocated
families and children. Where is the world leading? Per PP Chris
Portillo, VVCC Oktoberfest tomorrow night Jazz w/ Casals 6 to 9pm.

MEMBER INTERVIEW: JIM AND ROBERTA GRAHAM
ON HEROISM IN AFGHANISTAN
Eleven years ago, Jim and Roberta Graham developed a personal
connection to Afghanistan after their son Rick, who was stationed
there with the Indiana National Guard, learned of an infant in a
refugee camp who needed heart surgery. In a story that tugged at the
heartstrings of Hoosiers and was recounted in The Rotarian (January
2011), the Grahams worked with Rotary clubs in District 6560
(Indiana) and others to bring the infant, Qudrat, to Indianapolis for
surgery. Tragically, Qudrat died shortly after returning to
Afghanistan, but in his memory, the Grahams have led an effort to
help his father build and operate two schools. Last fall, Jim and
Roberta, both 81 years old and members of the Rotary Club of
Brownsburg, traveled to Kabul to assist with polio immunizations.
THE ROTARIAN: Afghanistan is a dangerous place. Did you fear
for your safety when you were there?
JIM GRAHAM: I felt safe, although we dared not leave the hotel
except in the company of our UN escort. We don’t know the
language, and we would be easily identified as American by our
conversation and our appearance. It is quite dangerous for Americans
to walk the streets of Kabul.
TR: You visited several refugee camps and had an opportunity to
observe the eradication effort. What impressed you?
JIM: They are constantly immunizing. They try to catch every child
who enters the city fleeing from the Taliban, both in Pakistan and
Afghanistan. At the east portal of Kabul, young men wearing Rotary
caps would vaccinate children on the run. They would flag down all

cars with children, and when the drivers rolled down the windows,
they would reach inside and put the drops in the children’s mouths
and mark their fingers to indicate to any future immunizer that they
had been vaccinated. In an hour, there must have been 200 children
vaccinated.
ROBERTA GRAHAM: They had to be in tiptop physical condition
to withstand that rigorous work schedule. There were seven men paid
by Rotary working a six-hour shift. After six hours, I’m sure they
were exhausted. They would immunize a child within seconds. It was
amazing how efficient they were.
TR: What would you like Rotarians to know about the polio
eradication effort in Afghanistan?
ROBERTA: They can be sure their money is being well spent. We
saw how heroic the immunizers are. The other thing I felt strongly
about is the concern to not introduce polio back into the rest of the
world. To travel to India or Saudi Arabia or visit Mecca, you had to
show the embassies that you had a recent polio vaccination before
they would give you a visa.
JIM: Eradication can happen, and it will happen, because of Rotary’s
management and the support of the government. But we must fund it
to make it happen. It’s like driving a 100-mile trip in your car and not
having the gas to go the last 2 miles. We are so close. We’ve got to
finish the job. I would urge all Rotarians to continue to give to
PolioPlus.

MARSEILLE
From Marseille Airport we took the Airport-St Charles bus, a
dedicated bus from the Airport that goes to St Charles Station,
Marseilles' central train station; the ride is about 30 mins. St
Charles is the train hub for trains that come and go to and from
France's other provinces, and is also a stop for Marseille's Metro, a
two-line underground subway.
At St Charles' Stn, before proceeding to our hotel, as we shall
spend one night only in Marseille, we already procured our train
tickets for Nice for the following day. The tickets cost 35 Euro
each for the 2:30pm, approximately 150km trip.
Whenever we go to Europe we shun taxis, we always take public
transpo. I find searching for buses, train stations, metro stations
exciting, that's why we never join tour groups. Our hotel in
Marseille is Ibis Styles Castellane (Ibis is a huge chain of 3-star
hotels in Europe, belonging to the Accore Hotels group), walking
distance from the Castellane stop of the Red Line of Marseille's
Metro.
It's easy to go around Marseille with its Metro. Its most famous
point of interest is the Old Port, called Vieux Port, mirroring
Marseille's past glory of being the trading capital of that region in
the Mediterrenean. The Old Port is now a busy huge three-sided
marina for numerous sailboats and yachts, lined in rows side by
side with each other. The three sides of the port is lined with 15th
and 16th century buildings, which gives a magnificent European

French-Mediterreanean view. The fourth side of the marina is the
mouth to the open sea.
Marseille is a tourist destination city like many other European
major cities; one can see hundreds of tourists at the large open
space Square fronting the Port. The city main square is common to
major European cities where visitors converge to enjoy the ancient
architecture and structures. Almost all ground floor of the
buildings surrounding the Square are cafe's and restaurants.
Although mid-September is already the onset of autumn, Marseille
is still hot and warm at mid-day till afternoon.
There's St Agustine Church along the Square, a white-painted I
would say 16th century church, so we checked the schedule of
Mass, unfortunately there was none anymore in that late afternoon
of Thursday, Sept 17. Another attraction of Marseille is the Old
Town, called Le Panier, the old town during the Roman
occupation, still preserved and inhabited.
