tlement area.

Bumbilya
Patay, sindi.Patay, sindi. Ang bumbilya sa aking silid ay malapit nang mapundi.Paalis na ako upang kumuha ng pamalit na ilaw,Nang biglang pigilan ng isang ala-ala - ikaw.
Naalala kita, hindi dahil nanunuot sa aking balat ang lamigNa dala ng gabi att nais kong hawiin ito ng iyong mga bisig.Naalala kita, dahil sa lugar na walang liwanag ay hindi ka mapakali.May bulong ng pangamba mula sa iyong tinig - noon pa ma'y takot ka na sa dilim.
At sa kalaliman ng gabi, doon kita mag-isang natagpuan.Nawawala, nangangapa, nahahapo, nanghihina.
Kaya'y walang pagdadalawang-isip ay iniabot ko sa iyo ang aking kamay. At dahan-dahan, sabay tayong humiwalay mula sa anino ng kadiliman.
Tila lumipad papalayo ang malamig na hangin. At agad itong pinalitan ng pag-alab ng ating mga damdamin.Nagliwanag ang buong paligid nang magliyab ang apoy ng ating pag-ibig. At mas nagliwanag pa, hindi dahil sa ningning ng mga bituin, kundi dahil sa kislap ng iyong mga matangsa aki'y maingat na nakatingin.
Simula noo’y magkasama nating tinahak ang isang lagusan. Humampas ang mga alon na may dalang walang katiyakan.Subalit tayo’y may baong munting kislap— kislap na sa atin ay nagsilbing gabay, At may kalakip na pag-asa, na sa dulo ng ating paglalakbay, doon natin matatagpuan ang walang hang-gang liwanag na mananatili at hindi na kailanman lilisan.
Ngunit tulad ng isang bumbilyang malapit nang mapundi,Unti-unting lumabo ang kislap ng pag-ibig na sa ati’y namamagitan. Ito ay binahiran ng panlilinlang at kasinungalingan.Patay, sindi. Patay, sindi - iaalay ko ang natitirang liwanag na mayroon ako..Patay - kulang na pala ang hatid kong liwanag sa iyo.Sindi - maubos man ang liwanag na aking hatid, pangako’y sasamahan kita sa dilim;Patay - hindi ka na pala takot sa dilim.
Buong akala ko’y makakasama kita sa bawat buwan at araw na darating sa aking buhay.Buong akala ko’y magsisilbi akong buwan at araw na magbibigay-liwanag sa iyong buhay.Ngunit, hindi. Isa lamang pala akong kandila na mas piniling ilawan ang iyong mundo,Subalit kasabay niyo ay ang pag-agos ng aking mga luha na dala ng iyong pagkawala, at sa akin ay unti
-unting tumunaw.
Unti-unti mo akong tinunaw.Nilisan mo ako, subalit may iniwan ka.Iniwan mo ang takot na matagal sa iyong namalagi, at sa aking puso, ito’y iyong isinilid.Magmula noo’y natakot na rin ako sa dilim, hindi dahil sa walang liwanag, Kundi dahil alam kong wala na dapat akong nakikita.
Ngunit sa gitna ng dilim ay naaaninag ko ang bawat linya na nakaukit sa iyong mukha na minsa’y ginuhitng aking pagmamahal.Kaya’t kailangan ko nang magmadaling palitan ang pundidong bumbilya sa aking kuwarto, Upang sa aking pagtulog ay hindi dumalaw sa akin ang multo ng iyong pagkatao.Isang awit ng paghimbing — iyon lamang ang aking hiling.

This photograph shows a mother applying mosquito re-
pellent to her child’s skin in order to prevent mosquitoes
from biting.
How to reduce your risk of dengue infection:There is no vaccine available against dengue, and there are no specific medicationsto treat a dengue infection. This makes prevention the most important step, and pre-vention means avoiding mosquito bites if you live in or travel to an endemic area.
The best way to reduce mosquitoes is to eliminate the places where the mosquitolays her eggs, like artificial containers that hold water in and around the home. Out-doors, clean water containers like pet and animal watering containers, flower planterdishes or cover water storage barrels. Look for standing water indoors such as invases with fresh flowers and clean at least once a week.
The adult mosquitoes like to bite inside as well as around homes, during the day andat night when the lights are on. To protect yourself, use repellent on your skin whileindoors or out. When possible, wear long sleeves and pants for additional protec-tion. Also, make sure window and door screens are secure and without holes. Ifavailable, use air-conditioning.
If someone in your house is ill with dengue, take extra pre-cautions to prevent mosquitoes from biting the patient andgoing on to bite others in the household. Sleep under a mos-quito bed net, eliminate mosquitoes you find indoors andwear repellent!
RED ALERT for the Community: HOW TO AVOID DENGUE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH reports almost 78,000 dengue cases from January 1to September 5, 2015, higher by 16.5% than last year.
There have been 233 deaths recorded.
DOH urges public to eliminate all possible breeding places of mosquitoes.
Last month, after confirming a full yearwithout a single case of wild poliovirus, Ni-geria was removed from the list of theworld's polio-endemic countries. It was thelast polio-endemic country in Africa. Today,
only two countries – Afghanistan and Paki-stan – harbor the world's final reservoir ofendemic poliovirus. As this issue of TheRotarian goes to press, global cases ofpolio in 2015 number only a few dozen.
e scale of this achievement can hardly be overstated. Polios existed for millennia; it has plagued humanity since our earli-t civilizations. Today, because of Rotary's work and that of ourrtners, the end is in sight. We are counting down not in years,t in months.
nd yet, our success is as fragile as it is monumental. We areoving forward, slowly, steadily, inexorably – thanks to colossal
forts that never cease. We continue to vaccinate hundreds ofllions of children in vast synchronized campaigns; we con-antly monitor environments to prevent new outbreaks. Theeer scale of the effort – the coordination, the cost, and themmitment – boggles the mind.
ome ask why such high levels of immunization and surveillancee still needed to combat a disease that is almost gone. Theswer is simple: It is the only way forward. If we did anything
ss – if we allowed the virus any quarter – years of work wouldundone. We know too well how easily polio could spreadain. We know how quickly our decades of progress could be
st. And this is why the months ahead are so tremendously im-rtant. We need your voice – to raise awareness, to raise
nds, and to keep the momentum going. We need your strengthhelp fight this war until we have won.
n 24 October, we mark World Polio Day. I hope that on thaty, all of you will take part in some way in our work to eradicatelio. I know that many of you intend to publicize this event on
e club or district level; for those who have not yet made plans,ere are still many ways to participate. Visit endpolionow.org foreas, tools, sample press releases, and ways to donate.
ou'll also find the link to our livestream event; be sure to join in,d share it on social media.is war of ours – which started as a war against polio but is
so a war against hatred, against ignorance, against fear – this
ar will be won. It will be won soon. And when it is won, all ofotary will have a story to tell – to the children, and the grand-ildren, who will never see a leg brace or an iron lung, or knowworld with polio in it.
hether you are a Rotarian in Kano or Peshawar or Swat, ineoul or Madrid or Chicago – you are a part of this story. Yourrt in it is one that only you can write. I ask you all to write it
ell – so that the story you will one day tell is one of which youl be proud.

Foundation Chairman’s October 2015 Messa
The 2016-17 Rotary year will be the cetennial year for The Rotary Foundationwhich started at the 1917 Rotary convetion in Atlanta. This issue of The Rotarmagazine is filled with information abo
the exciting 2016 convention to be heldSeoul, 28 May-1 June – and part of theexcitement is due to the kickoff activitiefor the Foundation's centennial celebra
The Foundation has a Centennial Celetion Committee, which is chaired by Past Trustee StephanieUrchick, and the committee has comprehensive plans for a year of celebratory events, which will culminate in a giant cebration at the 2017 Rotary convention in Atlanta. The Foundtion trustees, Rotary International directors, and Rotary stafmembers are all committed to a successful recognition of thFoundation's anniversary because of the Foundation's sign
cant role in helping our clubs and districts to conduct servicprojects around the world.
The Rotary Foundation clearly has been a tremendous forcDoing Good in the World! And as we contemplate our high-level plans for the centennwe once more pause to recognize and appreciate that the tity of what happens in our clubs and districts is far bigger anlonger-lasting than what happens in Evanston and at the coventions. As a result, the true success of the centennial celebration will depend on the quality and quantity of the celebratory events in our clubs and districts. The big question iswhether our Rotarians around the globe will embrace the Fdation's centennial and undertake their own centennial proj
and celebrations. So please do your part to stimulate the intest and involvement of your club.
The Rotary Foundation has been highly successful in assisour clubs and districts to promote international understandingoodwill, and peace in the world – and therefore, it is approate that all of our clubs and districts should participate in thecentennial celebration. As usual in Rotary, there is no pre-scribed way in which the clubs and districts should join the cbration, and I hope our clubs and districts will be as creativetheir celebratory activities as they have been in their myriadhumanitarian projects throughout the years. This is the rightime for all of us to express our appreciation for The Rotary
Foundation!
