Maharlika Meeting

The Maharlika Toastmasters became the Maharlika Brew Masters for the night when CC Pete chose the theme “Beers” for the weekly meeting of the club. Being the oldest and most widely consumed beverage in the world, beer was the center of attention for the meeting, especially since many of the members enjoy the amber-colored drink. General Evaluator Khris also had several trivia about the drink and even asked the members on “Who’s the Boss?” when drinking.

Maharlika Badminton

Bonding time for the Maharlika Toastmasters Club through a game of badminton. Food and drinks were overflowing and everyone sang their hearts out on the videoke machine. Attendance was a bit low due to the two consecutive typhoons that hit Metro Manila. Everyone still had fun though and that’s the more important thing.

Afternoon of Reading

Real-world application of what we learned as Toastmasters. We helped the volunteers for Gawad Kalinga for an afternoon of reading. The event was held at the Fully Booked Bookstore in Bonifacio High Street, Taguig, Philippines. Kids from seven to 13 were treated to some of the most kid-friendly books available. You could see it in their eyes that they were having the time of their young lives, seeing all those books and being with people that cared for their education.
