Free medication was given at the medical mission held at the Philippines Overseas Working Welfare Association (OWWA) with the attendance of 175 people. Angie Villanueva, president of Tau Gamma Sigma, told Bahrain Tribune, “175 people showed up for the mission. Most of the people who came were Filipino workers and the tenants are staying at the shelter.”

The fifth annual medical mission organised by Triskelion International, Kingdom of Bahrain (TI-KOB), was held on Friday and had a CPR demonstration.  Free medicine was donated from different clinics. The doctors and nurses who helped and checked the patients were volunteers from different hospitals and clinics. Free discount cards from the Shifa Clinic were given away.

Brod Mark ‘TOKS’ Toquero the chairman of the event said, “Every time we conduct a medical mission, it turns out very successful. The mission also celebrated 40th anniversary of Tau Gamma Phi. The first medical mission started in year 2004, since then it has carried on until this year.  Since then supporters and participants have always joined the event. This year Mark Toquero headed it.

The main sponsors were Bahrain Financing Company, PHILAM Bahrain, Montro Restaurant, Al Noor Pharmacy, Al Shifa Hospital/Pharmacy, Bahrain Optician and Rabaxy Pharmacy.

Life begins at 40

IT is actually a strange concept the first time you hear about it. Moving on three legs is not exactly the best way to make progress. But that is exactly how a Triskelion, a member of the Tau Gamma Phi, would prefer it.

To its members, the fraternity’s three-legged symbol represents the "conglomeration of the three dynamic forces of the universe – Fortis, Voluntas and Fraternitas." In plain English, these translate into "inner and outer strength," "free will and initiative" and "brotherhood," respectively. And, it has been a very effective symbol at rallying its members.

From its humble roots at the University of the Philippines in 1968, the Tau Gamma Phi has become without question the largest Greek letter society in the Philippines. It has more than 600,000 school and community-based members worldwide, the vast majority of whom are based in the Philippines. In terms of membership as a mass organization, it is only rivaled by the Philippine Guardians Brotherhood Inc.

The fraternity has organized councils all over North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. In many of these areas, in fact, the Tau Gamma Phi is the largest local organized group of expatriate Filipinos and their support is actively sought out by the country’s diplomatic corps in ministering to the welfare of Filipinos overseas.

Within the country, the Tau Gamma Phi has organized councils in almost all provinces. It also has members of in almost every college and university while some of its community-based chapters have become quite large, often times exceeding 500 members.

Its size, of course, has resulted into many organizational difficulties. Continued expansion has created different sub-groups and coordination is becoming a serious challenge. These problems have not escaped the attention of the fraternity’s leaders. According to my Triskelion friends, they have just conducted their 4th International Summit aimed at bringing together the fraternity’s various organized councils and sectoral groups under a single umbrella organization.

Among the agreements reached is the drafting and ratification by March 2008 of a single Constitution and By-Laws covering all their local and overseas councils as well as a Code of Governance that emphasizes decentralization and local autonomy for its local councils and chapters. The summit participants believe that the best way to strengthen the fraternity as a whole is to allow its local groups the maximum leeway possible in charting their respective destinies.

The ultimate objective being to put into place an organizational based on true representative democracy where the voice and the vote of each individual member will be equally appreciated on every issue confronting the organization. In effect, likewise, creating the archetypal mass organization for the country.

More importantly, the Tau Gamma Phi’s 4th International Summit also resulted into the passage of a resolution enacting a policy of "depolitization" at the national level, i.e., its soon to be formed National Council will not endorse any political candidates in any coming election and not participate in any partisan political activities. Such activities being held as divisive in nature with the support of the Tau Gamma Phi being sought previously by political personalities, both local and national, as well as political parties. In Camiguin, for example, more than 10 percent of the electorate belong to the Tau Gamma Phi and they comprise the single biggest and most highly organized voting bloc in the province.

Not a bad start for the Tau Gamma Phi as it celebrates the start of its new life today, its 40th anniversary. Congratulations and best wishes to all Triskelions worldwide.
