JCI MANILEÑA PROFILE
The Junior Chamber International Manileña is a non-profit, non-stock leadership development organization composed of young entrepreneurs, businesswomen, aspiring politicians and committed socio-civic workers which aim to develop and enhance leadership capabilities of members and communities, including but not limited to socio-civic activities.  It was established in 1980 and has remained committed in embodying the highest ideals of the organization by promoting the cause of Jayceeism throughout the country.

JCI Manileña owes its beginning to the Board of Directors of JCI Manila when it passed a Board Resolution to organize a new lady chapter in April 10, 1980.  Then JCI Manila President Ricardo D. Nicolas tapped Misses Joji Ubaldo, Trini Valenciz and Beth Daswani, members of the defunct Bathaluman Jaycees, to organize the new lady chapter, which was named Manileña Jaycees.

On May 10, 1980, the first organizational meeting was held and an interim set of officers were elected.  A month later, June 29, 1980, the Charter Board of Directors was elected.  The organization was recognized when it was chartered on July 9, 1980 during the Metro Manila Chapter Presidents Meeting.  

Eager to explore the world of Jaycees, JCI Manileña actively involved itself in developmental projects for the chapter, its members and the community.  It started with a vision.  It will not end with the realization of that dream.  That vision is living and responsive, ensuring to become faith in the long run, answerable to the call of the times.  We congratulated JCI Manileña Charter President, JCI Senator JOSEPHINE “Joji” RUIVIVAR-UBALDO and the past 33 Past Presidents who have charged in the pursuit of excellence in the City of Manila and other areas as well.
