RCMD Rotahack!

 RCMD Rotahack! 

The project is not new. We started this project way back in 2015 by doing IT seminars and hackathons in some universities in the country. But just last year, we started the regular execution of this project. For 2022, we are tagging the project as Rotahack.

With the lockdown, COVID-19 has affected  technology in our daily lives as well as cybersecurity in  cyberspace. 

Every year, the total number of internet users has continuously increased. Because of this, most of the criminals also converted their activities online. Lots of online scams have existed and cyber crimes are now very rampant. However, a lot of people using the internet are still not aware of what's going on. 

To solve this issue, we created the project "Rotahack" in which the aim is to create a professional but fun way of educating people on how they can be protected online and how they can use the internet effectively and safely. 

Last October 21, we started the first RCMD Rotahack activity for 2021. We invited Mr. Art Samaniego, the Technology Editor & IT Head of the Manila Bulletin, a Tech Support Professional, and a Cybersecurity Analyst. The event gathered almost 80 attendees from difference Rotary Clubs in D3780, military and professionals.  Our speaker shared to the audience his advocacy on "How to avoid online scams" by sharing practical tips that are also timely to fight  online scamming activity by cybercriminals. It was really fun and full of learning.

After the event, RCMD gave some raffle prices to the audience ie. Hackers T-shirts and cash prices to make the event more memorable. 

We thank our sponsors and individuals who supported this event, this will not be possible without your help. 

Our Club, RC Midtown Diliman, will always be grateful for the time and resources that you have given us. 

We really appreciate it. 

RCMD will continue to spread the good news and do our part in protecting cyberspace.

Rotahack will always be here!

RC Biak na Bato 40th Club Induction Ceremony

Good evening, Gov Ed, Past District Gov Dan, Past Gov Rey David, First lady Gov Dulce, PDG Dwight, To our District Gov Elect Florian, LCP laya and fellow Rotarians.

First, allow me to congratulate RC Biak na Bato for your 40th Club Induction Ceremony. It’s so amazing to know that it’s been 40 years of “Service above self”.

I’m so happy to be invited to this ceremony and see a lot of gentlemen… people of action.

For the new members, I congratulate all of you. Know that this is just the beginning of your new journey. I’ve been with Rotary since 2015 and I really enjoyed it a lot especially when I am in the field, doing advocacy work that transforms and changes the lives of others.

Being a Rotarian is more than just community service, it’s more than the seven areas of focus. 

We, Rotary members, are diverse. We are leaders of business, art, government, sports, military, religion and all other disciplines. As we are the oldest and most prestigious service club in the world, we have executives, managers, and professionals who make decisions and influence our policies. Above all, we are nice people. We value kindness in our work, and we live out obedience in our policies. 

The fellowship, the friendship, and the collaboration we have as a team make us more powerful in doing projects. A lot of the opportunities we get to do something gives us this sense of self-fulfillment which in addition adds to the satisfaction of one’s life.

I also want to give emphasis that at some point, Rotary will help us in our leadership development. Remember that Rotary is an organization of leaders & successful people. Serving in Rotary is like college education, this is where we learn to motivate and lead others. 

In the end, Rotary isn’t your regular organization. It’s fun, unique, and diverse. It’s more than just a group of people, we are individuals who are community-centered, compassionate, and service-oriented.

Continue to be an inspiration to others, to your fellow Rotarians as RC Biak na Bato has always been a pillar for D3780.

Again, on behalf of all PEs gathered here tonight, we thank you for inviting us and enjoy the celebration. Enjoy the night! 

Thank you!
