FAQs

• What is the difference of Philippine Rotaract Magazine from the Pilipinas Rotaract MDIO Newsletter, Ang Balangay?

  The Pilipinas Rotaract MDIO Newsletter, Ang Balangay, is communicated through monthly email and focuses more on critical internal announcements and top stories for the month. Due to the need to make email contents concise, not all stories can be captured through Ang Balangay and would rather be a gateway to a platform containing more stories. This is the vision for the Philippine Rotaract Magazine – to serve as the platform and repository of inspiring stories for both internal and external readership.

• What benefits do I get if I sign-up and log-in as a member?

  As a logged-in user, you will have full and unlimited access to all stories, articles, photos, and videos.

• Is the content solely for Rotaractors, Rotarians and those affiliated to the Rotary?

  While most content will focus on the Rotary, some sections such as RAC Matter of the Month or RAC Kapehan! will feature articles and essays on anything under the sun. We hope that by reading the stories in the magazine, you will be interested to spread awareness and support our causes or even partner with us. You are also very much welcome to join the organization if you want to be of service to others and make friends with like-minded people.

• How often will Philippine Rotaract Magazine be uploading new content?

  The digital edition works on a monthly theme but new content will be uploaded on a weekly basis.
