PROMOTING THE PRO CLIMATE

CHANGE ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION PLEDGE
Last October 3, 2015, the Club led the conduct of advocacy caravan on climate change mitigation and tree
planting at Clark Freeport Zone and SCTEX Highways
involving Rotary Clubs from RI District 3780, 3790 and
3820. A converging program was also held to highlight
the commitment and support of the participating Rotary Clubs and other stakeholders. During the said converging program, the PRO Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Pledge was recited by all those
who were present as they commit to act on the various
climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.
They also affixed their signatures on the pledge wall
prepared for the purpose.

VP Marlon Sapla
But, what is really the essence of this pledge? It is very
simple, let us start with ourselves, our families, and our
Rotary Club. Let our actions influence others to do the
same adaptation and mitigation measures. As an advocacy, it must be continued and sustained until the world will
become as one in saving the earth. In so doing, this will
be our best gift to the world and the whole mankind.
As proud Rotarians, let us be PRO Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation and be a GIFT TO THE WORLD!

Similarly, the same pledge was recited by those who

attended the Climate Change Summit in Fontana Convention Center, Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga on
October 24, 2015.

Family Planning con Livelihood
Seminar:
Our Club made the first step on educating our Rotary
Community Corps Members and Officers from E. Rodriguez Sr. High School, Sinagtala Elementary School and
Interlink Employees by inviting the Quezon City Department of Health Lecturers. It is timely that we also initiated

This is just the first journey of learning the importance of

parenthood and livelihood generation in their community.
There will be lined up series of seminars and training on
livelihood with the adopted schools of Rotary Club of San
Francisco Del Monte. This is one way of developing the
RCCs as a self-contained community with responsible
parenthood and sustainable livelihood projects.
May I focus on Responsible Parenthood and Family

4.Reduce family planning unmet need from 22% to 11%
5.Reduce Maternal Mortality Rate from 162 to 52.2
deaths per 100,000 live births
