Rotary takes pride in its diversity that cuts across continents, gender, political affiliations, culture, age, and ethnicity.
The incoming batch of governors in the Philippine districts are an interesting microcosm capturing the diversity of Rotary, and yet there are discernible attributes common among them—the strongest of which are a desire to bring unity and peace in their districts, and the firmness with which they assert their decisiveness.
Introducing the governors for Rotary Year 2019 to 2020.

“I believe in the saying that ‘Peace is more than just the absence of violence.’ Peace is ensuring that there is justice for all.’ As I embark on promoting peace and conflict resolution as my area of focus during my stint as governor, I see a better and fulfilling Rotary Year for my champion presidents and my team as we ‘connect to the world’ in a spirit of humanitarian service and champion the causes of Rotary!”
