In connection with the International Costal Clean Up Day last September 20, 2008, the Rotary Club of Hundred Islands conducted its share the following day, September 21, 2008 at the Cacupangan Cave, Tagudin, Mabini, Pangasinan.  The participation of the club in the international activity is unique considering that it was not a sea coast which was cleaned but a cave because the Municipality of Mabini, Pangasinan, is landlocked.

The Heart of Rotary is Vocational Service. This stems from the fact that each Rotary Club is a fellowship of business and professional men organized around the world revolving around the principle of classification by vocation. Rotary’s Classification principle of club membership closely identifies a Rotarian with his occupation, or vocation.
