Rotary Confers Vocational Excellence Awards
(Aired in The Morning Show on November 8, 2010)
For the first time, Rotary District 3780 conferred Vocational Excellence Awards to men and women in different businesses and professions. This year, it recognized seventeen awardees in an event hosted by sixteen Rotary Clubs in Quezon City. As most of us may know, membership in a Rotary Club requires involvement in a useful vocation and community service.
The occasion opened with a presentation by the Filipiniana Dancers at the Tejeros Hall in Camp Aguinaldo. Governor Pablo "Ambo" Gancayco delivered a welcome speech, sharing how he came up with the idea of launching the awards. First to be awarded was Mayor Herbert Bautista for the Public Servant category. He is also a fellow Rotarian at Kamuning and was endorsed by five clubs.
Among the awardees was Arnel Pineda, who also entertained guests with his three songs.
