Rooted in Faith The JCI Regatta Story

JCI Regatta traces its roots back to the humble beginnings at Santa Maria Parish Church, where its founders laid the groundwork for establishing the local organization.

In 2009, National President Fulbert Woo, JCI Iloilo President Rex Chua, and Charter President Elmer Usi invited members of the Santa Maria Parish and their network of young individuals to join what would become one of the most awarded JCI chapters in Western Visayas.

ROOTED IN EXCELLENCE:

One of JCI Asia Pacific's Best

The tradition of excellence has been a cornerstone of the organization since it started. No less than its founding President Elmer J. Usi is an academic achiever since his elementary to college and outstanding student leader. He first joined JCI Bacolod in 1995. As a new member, he established the Talisay Jaycee Chapter Extension, the Junior Jaycees of La Salle Bacolod and lead numerous advocacies. His active leadership led him to be awarded as 1995 Area 4 Most Outstanding New Jaycee and JCI Philippines Merit Award for Most Outstanding New Jaycee. The culture and vision of excellence of President Elmer Usi was brought to JCI Regatta when established the chapter in 2009. His sterling leadership together with the board of director led the chapter to be recognized as the Best New Local Organization in the 2011 JCI Asia Pacific Conference. JCI Regatta was also recognized as JCI Asia Pacific’s Best Community Development Project for Pinoy Icon.
