Service to Humanity is the BEST work of Life

It has always been a missing piece for me when SERVICE is being discussed.

I am not rich.

But i really love and like to mingle among the least fortunate in life and just talked of ----LIFE.

When i joined the Junior Chamber International - Dapitan Shrine City Jaycees, actually i voluntered - it was my sister who was recruited and i said " I want to join can i come to the orientation?" and of course they didn't say no because recruitment is scarce in our place.

When i was still in my second year highschool a group of young professional and angelic voice men of Dapitan visited our school and discussed/held some seminars and i was amazed of their brilliance and talent! and enthusiasm that it become a part of me and my constant longing to be among them... but i was quite frustrated at that time because their group are just men...they don't recruit ladies!

So as the time goes by - Jaycees become prominent in our place holding almost all major events in Dapitan side by side the Local Government, it also become an inspiration and model amongst the young ones.

Way back in 1998, it was April and they held its Jaycee Week, which part of it was an Orientation or recruitment, thus my sister became a member and of course i did myself to be recognized - how? i attended all meetings and work on all activities and even voluntered to a Project Chair.

As my life with the Jaycees progressed- Iw as awarded with numerous project chairmanships and became the 2005 JCIP LOM President.

It was the best ambition come true i ever had and the most spontaneous less effort of stepping into a ladder that once just a dream.

Why i made it? because it stopped thinking that i belong with the group but instead it become a passion - it become the center of my world and that i just attended still all the meetings and the not so far council meetings and conferences (which are all donations and contributions from PP's) that become my obsession. I made reports and make it fast and efficient. and above all i followed the same Creed.

"I believe that FAITH in God gives meaning and purpose to human life,
That the BROTHERHOOD of man transcends the sovereignty of nations,
The economic JUSTICE can best be won by free men through free enterprise,
That GOVERNMENT should be of laws rather than of men.
That earth's great treasure lies in human PERSONALITY,
And that SERVICE to humanity is the BEST work of life."

Through this i visited remote places and witness poverty-which i thought i was the most unfortunate creature on earth, but seeing the children in barangays all covered with scabies and when i saw their parents with scabies too....and with the lugaw with chicken we prepared and the little medicines we brought, its an awe and a question where the heavens are? but what is the most ironic of it all?

When i got out from our vehicle with me is two sipi of lakatang saging, a huge fish, bulad and salbaro! They are all given by folks we served lugaw! isn't it amazing? Then something popped in my mind! If the next time i visited their children i'll bring them remote cars and the parents i'll give them Camel cooking pots maybe they will hand me their lands!!!!! yuta!!!

I hope you got me guys and all the pork barels in the world.

It's not already a question on what must be done first or the holding of committee hearings with thrice snacks served but an ACTION to be done! WHAT? go directly to those people - if you have money, you buy medicines and gave it to them. just buy, paracetamols, peniccillins, ibuprofens and the like and visit lowly places you'll see your package will be licked like mad dogs. Don't bring appratus or equiptments becuase they don't make sense bring the medicines.
