Meet the unique Rotary Club of Manila Archangel Premier. This civic club run by young professionals is named “after the heavenly hosts and protector of mankind—the Archangels.
According to its founder and president, well-known singer and painter George Sison Tagle, their club “significantly bears the name of Archangels, the extraordinary beings personifying God’s grace, power, and majesty who are healers to be of service to humanity.”
George’s decision to organize a young rotary club came from the example of service to humanity through civic work from his mom Elizabeth Sison Tagle, past president and active in the Inner Wheen Club circles. Beth exposed George to community work at an early age, getting him to sing with his well-known group The Angelos for charity show and the like.
His artistic genes are from his father, the eminent painter E.R. Tagle . George has also branched out to teaching aspiring artists in his home at Ignatius Village in Quezon City, which is also his recording and sound studio for the Angelos. Known for his colorful canvases that are always a delight to own, George has had successful one-mad shows.
In explaining the reason for the formation of the Rotary Archangels under Manila Rotary District, George said, “So we aim to be God’s Archangels on earth as we bring together business and professional leaders in our club in order to provide humanitarian service and to advance goodwill and peace not only in our country but around the globe.”
Each member of Rotary Club of Manila Archangel Premier, according to George, has his own expertise and specific field of endeavor. “We share our expertise in particular fields by corroborating with other clubs and districts on projects that will greatly benefit our brothers in need and make a difference in their lives,” he said. “The impact of our service comes from us. Rotary members come together to unite and take action to create lasting change in our communities and in ourselves.”
As Rotarians, young men and women can identify the community’s needs and develop ways to meet them. They can connect with other leaders who are changing the world. They can also expand their leadership and professional skills.
“We can catch up with good friends and make new ones. Above all, we can give back what we have been given,” George told us. “The past year has been very challenging for our club and for our members, both professionally and personally. We all had to adjust and adapt to this new normal. But we have kept communication lines clear.”
George is thankful for all the support his members have given their organization. He has asked them to take the time to reflect on all that they have personally achieved and acknowledge the roles they have played in helping society.
He cited charter members Garry Sibal, Karen Lopez, William Haboc, Dan Pelagio, Willy Dela Cruz, Ferdinand Andres, Arlene Anne Erfe, Charles De Jesus, Deemple De Jesus, Charm Laguna Motto, Charo G. Yu, Cris Marcelo, Emmanuel Moreno, Eric Fernanandez, Ivy Violan, Beverly Salviejo, Marc Rancy, Reny Tan Chicote, Peter John Cuerpo, Sherwin Sozon, Exequiel Nido, Madonna Decena, Jenny Sugay, and Roberto Constantino or the exceptional help and service they have extended to others.
