JAYCEES FIFTH WORLD CONGRESS
The JCI Philippines (Philippine Jaycees) Story
By JCI Sen. Reginald T. Yu
2002 National Secretary-General, JCI Manila
The Philippine Jaycees, now JCI Philippines, is the first nationally
organized leadership development organization established in Asia.
It began when two delegates from the Manila Jaycees, Gregorio M.
Feliciano and Jose N. Mayuga, attended the 3rd World Congress of the
Junior Chamber International held at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to
petition for the admission of the chapter to the world-wide
organization. They came back to Manila on March 10, 1948 with the
charter for the national chamber that was to be known as the
Philippine Jaycees, and the distinction for Jaycee Gregorio M.
Feliciano for being the first Filipino Vice-President for Asia of
Junior Chamber International.
Two circumstances paved the way for the Jaycee’s transplantation in
Asia through the Philippines. First, its historical ties with the
United States, and Second, the restlessness of its young
professionals to help the country recover from the ravages wrought
by the Pacific War.
The first Philippine Jaycee National Convention was held at the
Manila Hotel from February 11-13, 1949. Following the approval of
the Constitution and By-laws of the Philippine Jaycees, the first
set of national officers was elected with Ramon V. del Rosario as
National President.
That same month, sixteen Filipino Jaycees attended the 4th JCI World
Congress in Brussels, Belgium. The rather large delegation impressed
the Jaycees from the different countries that they voted to hold the
5th JCI World Congress in Manila the following year.
At the 5th JCI World Congress held from March 1-8, 1950,
Vice-President Fernando G. Lopez and other officials of the
Philippine Government addressed the delegates. A momentous highlight
of the assembly was the election of Ramon V. del Rosario as the
sixth JCI World President, the first Filipino and Asian to hold that
position. Two years later, another Filipino by the name of Roberto
T. Villanueva, was elected to the same office.
