When Passion Meets Purpose Great Things Happen

In a momentous event held on November 19, 2025, the Rotary Club of Marikina Royale District 3800, led by its president, Raul Vicente S. Fecundo, signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Bell-Kenz Pharma, a leading pharmaceutical company, represented by its HR Head, Mr. Patrick Larraga.  The signing ceremony, which took place at Omakase Restaurant in Marikina, was witnessed by District Governor Gina Sanchez and District Public Image Chair PP Rey Pineda, and attended by members of the club.

The collaborative partnership between RC Marikina Royale and Bell-Kenz Pharma aims to bring forth a series of impactful community projects that will benefit the people they serve.  This strategic alliance is set to last for three years during which both organizations will work hand in hand to address the needs of the community.

Their flagship project will be “Sagip CPR”. The goal of this project is to provide life-saving CPR training and equipment to senior high school students and young individuals with the aim of empowering them to respond to cardiac emergencies. 

Through this collaboration, RC Marikina Royale will leverage Bell-Kenz Pharma’s expertise, resources, and networks to bring critical CPR training and equipment to local schools and community centers.  This will equip people with knowledge and tools to potentially save lives in the precious moments before emergency responders arrive.  Not only will this partnership save lives, it will also strengthen the bonds within our communities. 

By working side by side with Bell-Kenz Pharma, we are modelling the power of cross-sector collaboration and inspiring others to find innovative ways to address pressing social issues. Together, through our partnership with Bell-Kenz Pharma and project Sagip CPR, we have an opportunity to transform lives and build a stronger, more resilient community.

The occasion was marked by a sense of excitement and optimism as the Rotary Club of Marikina Royale and Bell-Kenz Pharma embarked on this transformative partnership, poised to make a lasting impact on the community.
