Last March 20, 2009, the Rotary Club of Hundred Islands signed a sisterhood agreement with Rotary Club of Manila at the Office of the City Mayor, City Hall, Alaminos City, Pangasinan. The Rotary Club of Manila was represented by President-elect Ben Santos while the Rotary Club of Hundred Islands was represented by President Henry R. Onia and Incoming President Antero “Roy” R. Magno.
The project the sister clubs will undertake is a housing project for
the relocation of informal settlers in Alaminos. The City Government
of Alaminos will provide the land where the houses will be built, the
sister clubs will provide for the materials and labor in constructing
the houses and Habitat for Humanity will share is technical know-how in
constructing the low-cost housing. The housing units will cost around
P70,000.00 which will be paid in installment by the beneficiaries.
As of this writing, Rotary Club of Manila has already produced the
amount of Seven Million Pesos (P7.0M) for the said project. On the
part of the Rotary Club of Hundred Islands, funds are yet to be
solicited.
