IN A landmark moment for community service and civic engagement in Southern Luzon, Philippine Eagles YAKAP Inc. has successfully chartered and installed its Calabarzon Eagles Region.
The formal ceremony, held in General Trias, Cavite, marks a significant expansion of the organization’s humanitarian mission and establishes a powerful new hub for community development, youth programs, and civic initiatives across Region 4.
This momentous occasion brought together national leadership, regional officers, community partners, and distinguished guests from law enforcement, military, and civil society organizations. The event represents more than just an administrative milestone—it embodies the spirit of bayanihan and collective action that defines YAKAP Inc.’s mission to uplift communities and create lasting positive change throughout the Philippines.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles) YAKAP Inc. stands as a SEC-registered socio-civic organization dedicated to serving communities across the Philippines. With a proven track record of impactful programs, community development initiatives, and humanitarian efforts, the organization has established itself as a trusted partner in nation-building and social progress.
The decision to establish the Calabarzon Eagles Region reflects strategic growth and response to the growing need for coordinated civic action in this vital region. Calabarzon —comprising Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon—represents one of the nation’s most dynamic areas, combining urban development with rural communities, industrial centers with agricultural traditions, and a diverse population united by shared aspirations for progress and prosperity.
This expansion demonstrates YAKAP Inc.’s commitment to grassroots engagement and community-driven solutions. By establishing a regional presence, the organization can better coordinate efforts, respond to local needs, and build partnerships with government agencies, non-profit organizations, and private sector partners throughout the region.
The chartering and installation ceremony in General Trias, Cavite, served as a powerful gathering of national leadership, regional officers, and key community stakeholders. The event represented not just an administrative transition but a celebration of shared values, common purpose, and collective commitment to serving communities throughout Calabarzon.
Led by national president Kuya Ariel Donceras, the national leadership provided strategic direction and expressed strong support for the new regional chapter’s mission and goals. Representatives from security forces and military organizations attended, highlighting the strong partnerships between civic organizations and national security institutions. The presence of these diverse stakeholders underscores broad recognition of YAKAP Inc.’s important work and the value of its mission. It also reflects the collaborative approach that characterizes successful community development efforts—bringing together government, civil society, private sector, and community members to address shared challenges and pursue common goals.
A highlight of the installation ceremony came when Kuya Ariel Donceras and PENAPLE chairman Kuya Jeff Maravilla administered the oath of office to the newly installed Regional and District officers. This solemn moment marked the formal transition of leadership and the beginning of a new chapter in YAKAP Inc.’s service to Calabarzon communities.
The administration of oaths by the national leaders carries special significance. Their leadership and experience provide valuable guidance as the new regional officers prepare to undertake their responsibilities. The ceremony also served as a powerful reminder of the continuity of service—linking past achievements with future aspirations.
At the helm of the newly established Calabarzon Eagles Region stands regional governor Kuya Arnold Mendoza, whose leadership will guide the organization’s efforts to serve communities across the five provinces of Region 4. Governor Mendoza brings a deep commitment to community service, a strategic vision for organizational growth, and a genuine passion for improving lives throughout Calabarzon.
The success of the Calabarzon Eagles Region depends not only on the dedication of officers and members but also on strong partnerships with government agencies, private sector organizations, non-governmental organizations, and community groups. The installation ceremony provided valuable opportunities to establish and strengthen these critical relationships.
