The Rotary Club of Kagitingang Cubao held its first All Club Meeting on July 18, 2026 with 2 major topics scheduled. First was the discussion on Maternal and Child Health (Rotary's July Area of Focus) and second, the fellowship on membership development.

Interactors from the Juan Sumulong High School led by their President joined more than 10 members of the RCKC as they listened to the video sharing of Honorary Member Miel Nora. A medical doctor, Dr. Nora had worked with NGOs and the DOH. In the video, he shared information on Maternal health including Maternal deaths; child health and malnutrition and adolescent pregnancies. Dr. Nora pointed out the trend showing Calabarzon as the region with the most number of Maternal deaths in 2024 followed by NCR. Calabarzon also had the highest rate of adolescent pregnancies with NCR having the lowest.

A discussion then followed. The webinar was led by the Membership and Vocational Services Committees of the RCKC. Club President Aileen Sim-Balintona, a registered nurse, welcomed the participants. PDG Dulce Coyukiat, Club Adviser, gave the inspirational message while Club youth coordinator Polly Raterta closed the webinar.

A few days after, the 2 organizing committees shared the reaction video of Club member Chi Redaja on how Rotarians can move forward with regard to MCH. Rtn Chi was formerly the National Program Director of the DSWD Kalahi CIDSS.

The webinar concluded with fellowship and games led by the Interactors.
