INVOCATION

As Rotarians, Lord grant that we

may not so much seek; To be

consoled as to console; To be

understood as to understand; To be

loved as to love; For it is in giving

that we receive. And it is in

pardoning that we are pardoned.

Amen.

NASUDNONG AWIT

Yutang tabunon, mutya nga

masilakon. Putling bahandi, amo

kang gimahal. Mithing gisimba,

yuta’s mga bayani; Sa manlulupig,

pagdapigan ka. Ang mga buntod mo

ug lapyahan, sa langit mong bughaw.

Nagahulad sa awit, lamdag sa

kaliwat tang gawas. Silaw sa adlaw

ug bituon sa nasudnong bandila.

Nagatima-an nga buhion ta ang

atong pagka-usa. Yutang maanyag,

duyan ka sa pagmahal, landong sa

langit ang dughan mo. Pakatam-ison

namo nga nagatukaw kung mamatay

man sa ngalan mo!

Day 2 of #EndPolio Perimeter Ride

420km in the bank! Strong headwinds delayed us by almost 2 hours, but everyone is

accounted for.

Tabuelan, your efforts to end polio is an inspiration! Attendees far exceeded our

expectations and your hospitality is amazing!



Principal Jimmy Suico thank you graciously hosting us at your school, this 4,000-population

school is blessed to have a principal with a vision to excel.

See you all tomorrow at 2PM at Fort San Pedro as we culminate this ride and hopefully

Day 3 of #EndPolio Perimeter Ride

3, 576 kilometers (360 miles) and the culmination of a 3-day ride to advocate end polio!

Riding out at 4:30AM the 3rd day became the norm as we travelled in a double pace line

peloton taking turns in front taking advantage of the super nice roads of Medellin and San

Remigio headed to Bogo for Sunday Mass and Vaccination by Rotary Cebu Fuente.

Proceeded to Tabogon via roads almost unfit for road bikes and was warmly greeted by the



townsfolk with entertainment from the kids. The ride back became long and arduous as the

distance became closer and closer. Spirits were lifted and energy levels heightened as we

saw Fort San Pedro and the myriad of people and family cheering and welcoming us. What

a great experience indeed! . We did it!!!

End Polio Now Campaign – Toledo

Polio Kills. Get Vaccinated. End Polio NOW.

Poblacion, Toledo –– While the Ride to End Polio Campaign is on their 3rd day on the

northern parts of Cebu, another group of Rotarians along with their Rotaractors went

to Toledo to provide mass polio vaccination in a health center. President Mike Torres

of RC Cebu headed the activity along with other Rotarians from RC Cebu and RC

Metro Cebu. The group was warmly welcomed by an estimate of 150 beneficiaries

that were patiently waiting and excited to have their children vaccinated.

Aside from the free polio vaccination, the Rotarians also initiated to give loot bags

after the vaccination to the beneficiaries. Rotaract club of Cebu members handled

the re-packing and organizing of goods to the loot bags, which were then distributed



to the beneficiaries. It was a fulfilling activity as we see the children getting their

shots of polio vaccine with the added goods that were distributed to the families. As

we make our way back to city proper, it is our hope that other areas which have not

yet been reached and awareness is still low will be reached out and identified as well

as we aim to fully eradicate polio disease. So that from ‘we are this close’ in ending

polio, we could finally say that we have ended and eradicated polio.

After the mass polio vaccination in Toledo, we went to Plaza Independencia to await,

meet and welcome the riders of the Ride to End Polio campaign and our fellow club

members who went along with them for three consecutive days. The culminating

activity was the final leg of their ride and we can see how proud and fulfilling it was

for the riders and the people who went along with them as they finally reach the

culminating area. It was a 3-days full activity of mass polio vaccination in different

areas of Cebu, but surely our fight to end polio doesn’t stop yet from there. We will

continue to spread awareness and give vaccines until we fully eradicate polio.

P.S. We would like to thank President Mike Torres, Rtn. Pete Delantar and Rtn. David

Barnes for

their presence

and support on

us, and special

recognition to

Rtn. Mitchelle

Alforque for

giving us a ride

and brunch

treat all

throughout

the entire

duration of

activities on

that day.



Desperado

Why don't you come to your

senses

You've been out riding fences for

so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

But I know that you've got your

reasons

These things that are pleasing you

will hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of

diamonds boy

She'll beat you if she's able

The queen of hearts is always your

best bet

Well, it seems to me some fine

things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the things that

you can't get

Desperado

You know you ain't getting younger

Your pain and your hunger are

drivin' you home

And freedom, oh freedom

Well that's just some people talking

Your prison is walking through this

world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the

wintertime

Sky won't snow and the sun won't

shine

It's hard to tell the nighttime from

the day

You're losing all your highs and

lows

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes

away

Desperado

Why don't you come to your

senses

Come down from your fences

Open the gate

It may be raining

But there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you

Let somebody love you

Let somebody love you

Before it's too late

(A joke a day keeps the doctor away)

Taxi Driver In Heaven

A priest and a taxi driver both died and

went to heaven. St. Peter was at the

Pearly gates waiting for them.

'Come with me', said St. Peter to the taxi

driver.

The taxi driver did as he was told and

followed St. Peter to a mansion. It had

anything you could imagine from a

bowling alley to an olympic size pool.

'Wow, thank you', said the taxi driver.

Next, St. Peter led the priest to a rugged

old shack with a bunk bed and a little

old television set.

'Wait, I think you are a little mixed up',

said the priest. 'Shouldn't I be the one

who gets the mansion? After all I was a

priest, went to church every day, and

preached God's word.'

'Yes, that's true. But during your

sermons people slept. When the taxi

driver drove, everyone prayed.'
