A GREAT SERVICE CLUB IS BORN

The idea of organizing a Rotary Club in the emerging growth area of Fort Bonifacio was put forward by Rotary Club of Rizal West (RCRW) Past President Almanzor "Al" Tubig.

At the start of the term of RCRW President Al Montecillo (August 26, 1999), PP Al Tubig invited Arch. Bobby Dimayuga of the Bonifacio Estate Services Corporation to the regular weekly meeting of RCRW. He was then introduced as "The person who would help him charter what would become the Rotary Club of Taguig Fort Bonifacio (RCTFB)".

Now appointed as District Governor's Guiller Tumangan's Special Representative (DGSR; RI. District 3830), PP Al Tubig organized the first meeting of the nascent group on October 6, 1999 at the Max's Restaurant, Jupiter Street, Makati City. Also in the meeting were: President Al Montecillo; Bobby Dimayuga; Philip Gaac and Robin Cu Unjieng. The second and third meetings were held at the Fat Willy's at The Fort on October 10 and 20 respectively, during which the group was joined by Charles Mercado and Emerson Medrana. In the subsequent meetings held on October 27 and November 3 at the Cafe Jose in Fort Bonifacio, Caloy Morante joined the group.

On February 18, 2000, at the Cafe J in Makati's Amaiz Street, the Charter Officers of RC Taguig Fort Bonifacio were elected with Bobby Dimayuga as Charter President and Mel Manansala as Charter Secretary. The other club members who were present included the following: Joel Ciron, Nani Codera, Jed Inciong, Marilyn Martin, Yette Morales, Tess Pangilinan, John Henry Parker, Gie Villanueva, Romel Villegas, Mark Ang, and Rose Arbis. The group was afterwards joined by Jun Obra.

DG Guiller Tumangan signed the Club's charter application for membership to Rotary International in a simple ceremony held on February 22 at Caramba's at The Fort in the presence of District Extension Chairman PDG Willy Segovia, members of the sponsoring club, RC Rizal West, and the charter members of RCTFB. On March 2000, the Rotary International approved the chartering of what is now the ROTARY CLUB OF TAGUIG-FORT BONIFACIO.

The club has since then, had four presidents namely:

Jed Inciong         : 2001~2002  "Mankind is our Business"

Charles Mercado  : 2002~2003 "Sow the seeds of Love"

Carlos Morante    : 2003~2004 "Lend a Hand"

Joel Ciron           : 2004~2005   "Celebrate Rotary"

Glen Inciong            :  2005~2006  "Service Above Self"
