Since 1994, World Teachers' Day is annually celebrated every 5th of October. On this Day, teachers are commemorated worldwide. Its aim is to mobilize support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers. According to UNESCO, World Teachers' Day represents a significant token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation displayed for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and development. The Education International (EI), the global union federation that represents education profession-als worldwide, strongly believes that World Teachers' Day should be internationally recog-nized and celebrated around the world.

ticipated by almost hundreds of people. A n e s t i m a t e d 10,000 Tree lings were planted. 90 of the tree lings was

assigned to Makati Legaspi. Each Tree ling has an indication of who planted it and from what organi-zation they belong to. The Pro-gram was also graced by the Secretary of Department of Envi-ronment and Natural Resources, RAMON J.P. PAJE who’s thank-ful for what the Organization’s does. During his message he said the achievements of the Country from the

2012 Environmental Perform-ance Index in this report, the researchers analyzed how global community is doing on particular policy issues against environmental Pressures. This also showed that the Philip-pines ranked 42 out of 142 countries compared to 50 last 2010. This also indicated that the Philippines is under the Strong Performance Category. Truly our joint efforts will help raise the performance of our Community.

EI also believes that the principles of the 1966 and 1997 Recommendations should be consid-ered for implementation in all nations. Over 100 countries observe World Teachers' Day. The efforts of Education International and its 401 member organizations have contributed to this widely spread recognition. Every year, EI launches a public awareness campaign to highlight the contributions of the teaching pro-fession. -Continued on page 2

month which benefited for at

least 120 Kids. This project aims

to provide knowledge about the health of the

Happiness makes a Club Strong! This month’s club fellow-ship was the visitation of the National Museum. Rotaract Club of Makati Legaspi members had the opportunity to visit one of our country's pride while celebrating The Month of Museums and galleries.

Also, we were allowed to take a pose and shoot the different cultures & creations of our ancestors that were showcased in different side of the Building. The National Museum of the Philippines is the official reposi-tory established in 1901 as a natural historyand ethnography museum of the Philippines. It is located next to Rizal Park and near Intramuros in Manila. Itsmain building was designed in 1918 by an American architect Daniel Burnham. Today, that building, the former home of the Congress of the Philippines, holds the National Art Gallery, natural sciences and other support divisions. The adjacent building in the Agrifina Circle of Rizal Park, formerly housing the Department of Fi-nance, houses the Anthropology and Archaeology Divisions and is known as the Museum of the Filipino People.
