Newest Rotaract Adviser: Something About Me With Others, For Others!!!

Hello, I’m Jov! I am currently working in the field of Education, TOKEN
and I am profoundly honored to be the Club Kamuning East’s
Rotaract President this Champion of Service Year. This entrusted
position fills me with the excitement to serve and the hunger to
learn, and I believe the optimal way to put these passions into
action is through first-hand experiences. I discovered Rotary from
my Accounting Professor back then and fellow Rotarian Alain
Jomarie Santos, CPA, MBA, when I was earning my bachelor’s
degree in Legal Management at the University of Santo Tomas
(UST). I am privileged to receive his trust and invite to the Club,
as I had long searched for an opportunity to channel my desire to
serve the community by offering my God-given talents and skills
into impactful and tangible projects. Graduating with honors and
as the University’s Working Scholar instilled that service brings
limitless possibilities, so long as one is willing to dedicate all his/
her efforts to the task-at-hand. As the Rotaract President, I plan
to build on the best practices from the projects of the Rotary
Club of Kamuning East and tailor them into the overarching pur-
pose of Rotaract to engage the Youth in civic development and in
service through education.
