PJJCI pearl nat’l confab held

 

 The Philippine Junior Jaycees, Incorporated (PJJCI), a premier youth leadership

 development organization in the country successfully held its 30th Pearl National

 Convention last April 3-6, 2005 at the University of Southeastern Philippines in Davao City. Hosted by the Greater Davao Junior Jaycees, the activity was conceived to provide a boulevard for interaction and leadership among members and honoured guests.

 

During this four-day gathering of young leaders, various competitions were designed in order to promulgate a sense of awareness on the role of contemporary youth in nation building. One of those is the National Parliamentary Procedures Competition, in which the Metropolitan Cebu Junior Jaycees, Inc. emerged as the national champion.

 

The annual bid book competition participated by major Junior Jaycee chapters in the Philippines highlighted this year’s convention. In this particular event, each chapter is encouraged to submit a compilation of documents pertinent to the activities undertaken within the fiscal year. The compilation should conform to the norms and standards stipulated in the PJJCI Awards Manual.

 

The Metropolitan Cebu Junior Jaycees, Incorporated, which was one of the participating chapters, was adjudged as this year’s Most Outstanding Chapter in the Philippines after earning major awards including Most Outstanding Public Relations Awards for their Mural Painting Project, Most Outstanding Junior Jaycee Month, Most Outstanding Community Development and Best Local Project Awards for their Waiting Shed Donation.

 

Also, the Ruperto Kangleon Junior Jaycees bested other LOMs (local organization members) in the country by being the top achiever of the PJJCI Efficiency Awards as well as earning eleven group awards.  

 

 

Individual awards were also given to members in good standing in grateful recognition of their valuable support in disseminating the cause of the Junior Jaycees, which is to establish a permanent and everlasting world peace. This year’s Most Outstanding Junior Jaycee and New Junior Jaycee of the Philippines were awarded to JJC Frances Louie Abellanosa, the incoming president of the MCJJCI and JJC Eugene Cosing of Kankabatok Junior Jaycees respectively. JJC Michael Nicholas Malazarte, the outgoing MCJJCI president and the newly elected National Vice-President for Visayas was adjudged as the Philippines’s Most Outstanding Chapter President.

 

Another highlight of the said convention was the amendment of the constitution of the national organization. It can be noted that during that particular session, national officers sought for greater leeway to increment fifty pesos in the annual affiliation fee since the previous amount is no longer enough to fully finance the activities of the national organization. However, after conscientious debates in the plenary, the minimum number of members within a particular LOM was also reduced to twenty from the usual thirty members.  

 

 

The activity culminated with the induction of the newly-elected set of officers of the PJJCI. JJC Edilberto Mendoza Jr., who hails from Roxas City was unanimously voted as the chief executive officer of the national organization this year. To help him carry out his platforms are JJC Ian Stephen Mah, JJC Barry Bermudez, and JJC Michael Nicholas Malazarte who were elected as the national executive vice-president, national ve-eps for Mindanao and Visayas respectively.

 

PJJCI is a movement aimed at developing the young into responsive and better citizens of the future. It works on the premise that the development of individual character will result to a more peaceful and progressive nation. Its vision is to contribute to the advancement of the global community by providing our young people the opportunity to develop social responsibility, leadership skills, entrepreneurship, and fellowship necessary to create positive change.

 

 


A GLIMPSE ON THE PHILIPPINE JUNIOR JAYCEES JAYCEES, INCORPORATED

 

 One of the most dynamic youth leadership development organizations in the country is the Philippine Junior Jaycees, Incorporated. It comprises of young individuals ranging from 14-26 years of age with the same purpose and philosophy that of the Junior Chamber International-Philippines.

 

There is not much difference about the Junior Jaycees and the Philippine Jaycees. Only the latter are mostly young professionals while the former are college students, out-of-school youths, and alumni. In terms of organizational structure, the Junior Jaycees structure is not as complex as the Philippine Jaycees (which to date has twenty-six nationally elected board officers and several nationally appointed officers while the Junior Jaycees has six nationally elected board members and few presidential appointees). However, both have the same creed, underwent the same basic orientation and leadership seminars and somehow compliment each other when it comes to joint LOM or NOM projects.

 

 This year’s PJJCI national president is JJC Edilberto “Bert” Mendoza, Jr., a native of Roxas City and comes from the Roxas “CPC” Junior Jaycees as his LOM. In his inaugural speech, JJC Bert stressed his two-point agenda, which include the total development of every Junior Jaycee and the upliftment of our community.

 

No wonder, today’s theme is focused on how Junior Jaycees of par excellence can possibly make a difference in this society characterized by turbulence, to wit: “YES FOR PEACE! Youth Entrepreneurship and Service  for PEACE!

 

It is has always been the long and ardent desire of every Junior Jaycee to contribute to advancement of the global community by doing ordinary things extraordinarily. Junior Jaycee from all lands are then exhorted to give flesh to the purpose of our existence by relentlessly engaging in activities that directly benefits the lives of our fellow youths especially in the grassroots level. We might, as well find it a tedious responsibility, but then again we simply have to remind ourselves of our colossal vision which is to establish a permanent and everlasting world peace. Now is the time to turn this vision into reality.

 

As of the moment, the Philippine Junior Jaycees, Incorporated has not yet been internationalised unlike the Philippine Jaycees. But so far, there are existing Junior Jaycees outside the country like Malaysia, Bangladesh, Korea, Indonesia just to name a few.

 

In the recent past, there had been plans to establish a worldwide Junior Jaycee organization, which shall be under the tutelage of JCI World Senate. However, such plan was not materialized due to the fact that there is often a change of leadership in the Junior Chamber International. It is our earnest wish that a true-blooded Jaycee will soon rise up in order to bring back such a wonderful idea and beef up the internationalisation process.

 

Come April 2-6, 2006, the Philippine Junior Jaycees, Incorporated will once again hold its annual National Convention in Ozamiz City. The hosting LOM will be the Misamis Junior Jaycees and the Convention Director is JJC Federico “Bong” Ocampos. It is estimated that more than two hundred delegates from all over the country will participate in this momentous event since the registration fee is pegged at a minimum amount of Php 500.00.

 

With this current update, we yearn that every Junior Jaycee will have to do his share in helping the national organization reached the zenith of success by supporting every endeavour that the same will have to spearhead. If this happens, we will be able to smile from ear to ear and say with our heads held high, that  “I am a real Junior Jaycee.” YO!
