It was one starry night and a perfect evening, the streets’ white
lights speckled the trees, there was chill in the air just enough to
hasten the occasional jitters of what was to come. The roar of
vehicles in the streets leading to the Manila Polo Club resonated
auspiciously to the cacophony of what was to come. Excitement and
anticipation were palpable from those who converged for this grandiose
event.
October 18, 2008 provided another
important milestone in the history of JCI Philippines – formerly known
as Philippine Jaycees – for the grand celebration of its “Diamond
Anniversary Homecoming.” This date was chosen to almost coincide with
the birth date of its founder, the late Artemio Vergel de Dios, to
make it more memorable (actually, his birthday was on October 20). The
“Grand Anniversary Celebration and Homecoming” was to commemorate the
60th year of existence of JCI Philippines, a red-letter day
in the annals of its rich history, and the organizers left no stone
unturned to make it truly worthwhile.
