The Rotary Club of New Manila East Achieves Triple Historic Milestone with Anvil Award Triumph

The Silver Anvil honored 40 Years: The Rotary Club of New Manila East 1984–2024, an ISBN-registered chronicle that transforms institutional memory into measurable impact. Four decades of service across health, education, livelihood, youth development, environmental stewardship, and peacebuilding now exist as permanent record.

Established in 1965 by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines, the Anvil Awards represent the country's highest recognition in public relations and communications. Senior industry practitioners judge entries on research, strategic planning, execution, and results. The standards are exacting, and the recognition is rare.

Immediate Past President Karlo Benjamin Nisce, who led the club during its Ruby Year and spearheaded the publication, reflected on the achievement's deeper meaning. "We set out to honor our past and inspire our future," he said. "This book proves that when you tell the truth about your work with clarity and conviction, the story becomes more than history. It becomes a call to action for every generation that follows."

President Majumi Borlaza placed the milestone in its rightful context: "This honor belongs to every member who served and every community partner who believed in our mission over the past 40 years.

The Anvil achievement crowns an extraordinary Ruby Year, while completing 80 projects and activities that earned Outstanding Rotary Club and Outstanding President recognition, both with Platinum Distinction, from Rotary District 3780. With the Anvil Award, RCNME transforms its Ruby Year from milestone into mandate: to continue serving with distinction, to document impact with excellence, and to inspire the next generation of Rotarians who will carry this torch forward.
