RC Makati has once again cemented its position as a leader in Rotary, receiving the prestigious “Best of the Best Award” for Rotary Year 2023-24 under the exemplary leadership of IPP Bing Matoto. The award was presented during the District Awards Night, held at the Enderun Tent, BGC, on October 15. The event, themed “Mission Accomplished: Top Guns on Parade”, celebrated the extraordinary accomplishments of clubs across District 3830 under the guidance of IPDG Jay Tambunting.
