As we keep on rebuilding and moving forward, Culiat keeps on searching for new breed of leaders to pass on and continue the legacy of the Jaycees culture.
As a start, JCI Angeles City Culiat held its 2nd Opportunity to Impact (OTI) for the fiscal year 2022 last September 16 at Racios Grill, headed by JCI. Mem. Edinorenz Buan. The event was attended by 20 BJC aspirants, with guest speaker 2023 RVP-elect Franz Senapilo to inspire them to join.
The OTI successfully produced a new batch of Culiat Baby Jaycees with seven members namely: Gene Ryan
Bautista (batch chairman), Danrell Laxa Santoyo (co-chairman), Allen Geil Gerona (secretary), John Dimatulac, Shela Almazan, Rafael Martin Bernardo and Jed Cuyugan. Their batch is named “BJC LILIBETH”, derived from the childhood nickname of the late Queen Elizabeth, as the batch was formed during the untimely passing of the Queen.
This 2023, Culiat keeps its momentum going with another OTI last January 11 at DC Market Grill. Chaired by JCI Mem. John Carlos, the event was attended by 22 BJC aspirants inspired and motivated by Culiat’s very own Past Presidents JCI Senator Rafael Angeles, PP Avelaine Nepomuceno, PP John Carlo Lim, JCI Member Chloe Ibalio and BJC Gene Ryan Bautista.
OTI has always been the starting ground of every Culiat member. As Pres. Kate Reyes-Romero’s term starts, the mission to involve all members – active or not – and to continuously mentor and develop young leaders becomes a priority.
