From Magic to Magis

This compelling narrative chronicles the Ruby Year journey of the Rotary Club of New Manila East under the visionary leadership of President Karlo Benjamin Nisce. In a bold reimagining of Rotary International's theme "The Magic of Rotary," President Nisce and his dedicated team transcended the notion of magic, embracing instead the profound Ignatian principle of Magis; the sacred call to do more, be more, and give more.

The Ruby Year story shows what is possible when a community moves beyond the comfortable and convenient, choosing instead the demanding path of purposeful service. Here, magic gives way to Magis, where ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things, not by chance or charm, but through the transformative power of faith-driven action and the audacious belief that we are called to be more, serve more, and love more for the greater glory of God and the betterment of humanity.
