Lyrics in Filipino (Tagalog Original):

Sulong Romblon sa bawat mithiin
Ng isang tunay na pag-unlad
Bawat hakbang ay ating unahin
Ang kagalingan ng lahat
Sa puso ng arkipelago
Pintig ng pag-asa'y taglay
Sa lalawigang pulo-pulo
Pangarap ay mabubuo

Chorus 1
Mga dagat na sa ati'y naghihiwalay
Ay biyayang sa ati'y nag-uugnay
Lahat ng panahon ay maghahawak kamay
Romblon Sulong sa tagumpay!

Chorus 2
Sa pagkakaisa't tulungan
Kaunlara'y makakamtan
Matatawid laot ng mga pagsubok
Sa gitna ng dilim at unos

Sulong romblon sa bawat mithiin
Ng isang tunay na pag-unlad
Pangalagaa't laong pagyamanin
Kultura't mga yamang likas
Salita man nati'y iba-iba
Sa pangunawa'y nagkakaisa
Sabay-sabay na maglalayag
Sa isang masaganang bukas

Repeat Chorus 1 and Chorus 2

Sulong Romblon Sulong!
Sulong Romblon Sulong!
Sulong Romblon Sulong!

Alpha Phi Omega


Alpha Phi Omega

The founding of Alpha Phi Omega in the Philippines in 1950 was preceded by an APO service project conducted just after World War II. Manila, the capital of the former Commonwealth of the Philippines, had been devastated during the war. Many universities, utilised for military purposes, were in ruins. Knowing that the education of young
people was a vital necessity for the country to get back on its feet, a number of Alpha Phi Omega members in Texas and the Pacific Northwest, having served as soldiers in the Philippines, organised book drives on their campuses. The successful project gathered hundreds of textbooks, used but usable, from libraries and students and sent to the
Philippines to help re-stock the many burnt-out college libraries in Manila.
A few years later, in January 1950, Sol George Levy (Gamma Alpha chapter 1947), a professional Scouter, an Alpha Phi Omega brother at the University of Washington in Seattle, and a friend of APO National President Dr. H. Roe
“The Chief” Bartle who served as president of Alpha Phi Omega from 1931 to 1946, went to the Philippines to generate interest among Scouts there. One evening, Levy spoke to a group of people about APO, Scouting’s national service fraternity in the USA, and its service project which donated books to Philippine schools. He also
distributed copies of three APO publications: Questions and Answers, National Constitution and By-laws, and Ritual, Rites and Ceremonies. In the audience was Librado Inocencio Ureta, then taking his MA in education at the Far
Eastern University in Manila.
Ureta and a group of former Scouts founded Alpha Phi Omega in the Philippines on March 2, 1950 at Room 214,Nicanor Reyes Hall, Far Eastern University, Manila.
Alpha Phi Omega grew rapidly in the Philippines. In its third year, it became a national organization with seven chapters chartered in Manila and Visayan campuses. It was registered October 21, 1953 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-stock, non-profit, non-dividend corporation with a registered name of Alpha Phi Omega
International Collegiate Service Fraternity. The registration was renewed on June 8, 1981 with the SEC RegistrationNo. 0099381 under the name of Alpha Phi Omega International Philippines Incorporated

ALPHA KAPPA RHO FRATERNITY (AKRHO)


ALPHA  KAPPA  RHO FRATERNITY (AKRHO)

On August 08, 1973, the celebration of the Feast  Day of St.   Dominic,   patron    saint   of    the   University  of    Santo  Tomas, sixteen   young,  all-male,  energetic  and  ambitious freshmen and sophomore students of the university, sharing  the  same  interests,  dreams    and   ambitions,  formed   their  own   kind  of   fraternal organization  –  the  ALPHA  KAPPA  RHO FRATERNITY.
This  was  during  the  tumultuous  early  years  of martial  rule in the Philippines. However  the  time  was   then, these  young   men,  guided  by  the  almighty, bonded themselves together as one.
The  group  was  form  out  of  necessity since  at that time, as it is now, members of other fraternities  in the AB-Commerce Building of UST, would recruit potential  neophytes to join  their ranks. But since this new grouping, whose members were mostly products of exclusive schools for boys in Metro Manila were themselves already in a band
in campus, and  in order to ward- off  the pesky recruiters who could not wait to  lay their hands on them, they thought, why not form their own?
Lead  by  Bro  “Boy  Chua”,  whose  idea   was   it  to  form  their  own fraternity, and with Bro Noli Manalo (+),Bro Roger Sarmiento, Bro Teddy Aves, Bro Philip Balange, Bro Tanny Bernabe, Bro James Bracewell, Bro Monchet Cabrera, Bro Philip Diman, Bro Renato Go, Bro Teddy De Lara, Bro Arnel (Lim) Lorenzo, Bro Vismark Quequep, Bro
Edwin Solano, Bro Ronnie Leuterio and Bro Gil Villegas, they founded the ALPHA KAPPA RHO Fraternity or AKRHO. Thus, the seed of the organization was planted and soon after the birth of ALPHA KAPPA RHO came to be. It happened that the founders themselves were likewise starting to recruit young members to join their own rank. Tensions rose within University of Santo Tomas campus among fraternities with our presence. Inevitably, we had to show true grit during heightened emotions, even when others tried vainly to erase the name ALPHA KAPPA RHO in the face of the earth. Our growing young fraternity then stood their ground and faced adversities with much courage, vigor and
fortitude, in defense of, and for the protection of its existence.
In so short a time, the  small  group  developed  into a strong force – in character and spirit, as well as in great number. Its popularity grew by leaps     and  bounds!  More collegiate chapters were  formed in different universities     and colleges  in  Metro Manila. Later, Junior and Community chapters were likewise  established  and became part of AKP family.
In 1976 the merging of OMEGA Fraternity and Sorority of San Sebastian College and ZETA UPSILON Fraternity of U.E. (University of the East) Recto with the ALPHA KAPPA RHO (AKRHO) Intercollegiate Service Fraternity and Sorority mark the beginning of the growth of ALPHA KAPPA RHO. The population of AKP commenced in greater numbers, expanding aggressively in massive members welcomed and much stronger than any other fraternities in the U-Belt (University Belt) area. The word AKRHO was established and among those being feared by rival fraternities. The growth of the AKP in 1975 was because of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth with the coherent full cooperation, strong powers and determinations of our brothers and sisters of F.E.U. (Far Eastern University), P.S.B.A. (Philippine School of Business Administration) and N.C.B.A. (National College of Business and Arts) and San Sebastian College chapters with the help of the High School Skeptrons headed by Bro JUN “LABO” Pasaporte then called the DELTA KAPPA RHO or Junior Skeptrons. These five mentioned universities were the key factors in the growth of the ALPHA KAPPA RHO (AKRHO) Intercollegiate Service Fraternity and Sorority. Bro Jun “Labo” Pasaporte devoted his time and life
for AKRHO. He died in July 17, 2003 at age 45 in Manila, Philippines. In addition to the adaption of the ALPHA KAPPA RHO Sorority, other fraternities and sororities with the same thoughts and feelings as that of the ALPHA KAPPA RHO at that time merged with it. From these mergers evolved one practice which becomes the hallmark of our
group. For one, the noble, the traditional hand mark and its handclasp was a covenant agreed by our foreleaders from both ALPHA KAPPA RHO and the Omega Fraternity and Sorority, Inc. Reresented by our OFSI Brothers from San Sebastian College, Bro Alex Ramirez, Bro Dennie Ravarra, Bro Alex Mangubat, to name a few, and together with the
Officers of the founding Members and the Officers of ALPHA KAPPA RHO, they signed pledge for and in behalf of each
other’s group. This merge which happened in September 1976 at Rancho, Marikina (then a municipality) was momentous for to this day we carry in our hands the mark of synthesis, the handclasp that set a strong bond and true unity under one name, the ALPHA KAPPA RHO. Proud to be an International Filipino Fraternity/Sorority
The AKP or SKEPTRON SOCIETY as it  is  likewise  known has always been  and   always   will  be  an  organization steeped  in  the  tradition  of  the  past –  free  expression,  fun  loving, seek  for  the truth, unity, loyalty, respect,   the pursuit of true Brotherhood  and Sisterhood. The  organization  are  made    up  of   men
and  women   from  diverse  cultural,   social,   religious,  political backgrounds   and    interests.   It has   spread   through-out  the  archipelago      and   all   over   the   world   and   has   now   become  better    known   as   the        “Alpha  Kappa  Rho  International   Humanitarian  Service  Fraternity  and Sorority”.
Bro Jun Pasaporte was recruited by Bro Jerry Saguire in U.E Caloocan, and he was the first high school who was recruited. He later on founded the JUNIOR AKRHO.
In August 8, 2008, exactly 35 years since the fraternity was established, the first National Convention was held at Amaranto Stadium, Quezon City which was attended by more than a thousand members from the Philippines and abroad.
The first NATIONAL SUPREME COUNCIL was likewise established.Elected AKP national officers were the following:
• Bro Richard Buscaino (RB)- National Grand Skeptron
• Bro Victor Rito (VGR)- National Vice Grand Skeptron (Luzon)
• Bro Gilbert Caballero (GC)- National Vice Grand Skeptron (Visayas)
• Bro Rolan Abu (Ben Abu)- National Vice Grand Skeptron (Mindanao)
• Bro Jose Vicente Icasiano Jr (Jun I)- National Keeper of the Scroll/Secretary General
• Bro Jojo Del Rosario- National PIO/Spokeperson
• Bro Kim Ledesma- National Treasurer
• Bro Michael (skel-g) – National Auditor

+74There is only one fraternity, the beta sigma fraternity. It is a fraternity where brotherhood, integrity, loyalty, equality and service are deeply emphasized. In becoming a member one should be a bona fide university and college students who excels in academics, student politics, editorials, sports and other noteworthy school activities. Beta sigmans are very careful in recruiting members. They are screened carefully and thoroughly from the orientation until they complete their journey. We aim for quality membership not quantity. That is why the bond of brotherhood is very strong and deep until a betan will leave this world. Many are called but a few are chosen. We do not write on walls in our surroundings but our achievements can be seen in newspapers, magazines and televisions. We are the saga of men who climbed the barriers of wealth, region, creed and prejudices. You have to sacrifice much to be a beta sigman. Something that you will treasure and cherish the rest of your life. Cheers beta sigma fraternity.

Tau Gamma Phi Oath of Allegiance

Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas.

Ito ang aking lupang sinilangan.

Ito ang tahanan ng aking lahi.

Ako’y kanyang kinukupkop at tinutulungan,

Upang maging malakas, maligaya at kapakipakinabang.

Bilang ganti ay diringgin ko ang payo ng aking mga magulang.

Susundin ko ang mga tuntunin ng aking paaralan.

Tutuparin ko ang tungkulin ng isang mamamayang makabayan at masunurin sa batas.

Paglilingkuran ko ang aking bayan nang walang pag-iimbot at nang buong katapatan.

Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay na Pilipino,

sa isip, sa salita at sa gawa.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!!! Mabuhay ang Tau Gamma Phi!!!
