The Making of the EAGLES MAGNA CARTA of 1989

The Eagles Magna Carta of 1989 proposed as Bill No. 1 is a codification and distillation of the Philippine Eagles Constitution and By-Laws and all other significant laws. enacted by the General Assembly since 1979.
The Committee on the Study and Review of the Constitution and By-Laws of the Philippine Eagles met in seven (7) regular meetings on 30 March 1989, 6, 20, 27, April 1989, and 4 and 11 May 1989, and three (3) special meetings on 29 April 1989, 5 and 14 May 1989. The subcommittees on style and conference met several times more for the final refinements of the provisions of the Magna Carta. The Committee chairman was asked to edit the printed Magna Carta.
The Members of the Committee were given take-home assignments to prepare and later on submit their written reports, comments and proposals on the various subjects and review. These written submissions were later minutely reviewed vis-à-vis the existing provisions now integrated in the proposed Eagles Magna Carta.
The Critical study and review were focused on the following: mob YARUS

a) April 6. The deliberation on this date was focused on the study and review of the Constitutional and By-Laws of the Philippine Eagles. The Committee members, including the chairman and the co-chairman, agreed to submit their written comments and proposals on possible constitutional amendments or even drastic changes in the Eagles Charter.

b) April 13. The Committee reviewed the structure of the government of the Philippine Eagle divided into the executive, legislative and judicial. The written comments, proposals and position paper were collated and reconciled.

c) April 20. The Committee focused its review on the Eagles elections laws, Philippine Eagles Institute of Leadership and the Philippine Eagles National President’s League.

d) April 27. The study and review were also focused on other miscellaneous laws not adequately discussed during the previous meetings.

e) April 29. This was a whole day special meeting of the Committee held at the Valle Verde Country Club in Pasig, Metro Manila. The Committee agreed that the Committee proposed Committee Report or Committee Bill be reported as the Eagles Magna Carta of 1989. It further agreed to divide into books the various laws to be incorporated in the Eagles Magna Carta.

f) May 4. The Committee finally discussed the proposed bill of rights and obligation to be incorporated as Book Three in the Eagles Magna Carta. It also finally discussed the proposed institutional commissions the election laws and the Philippine Eagles Institute of Leadership.

g) May 5. The Committee decided to call this special meeting to consider the format of the Eagles Magna Carta. It decided on a 20-book division in the Magna Carta which is clearly presented in the committee Bill. Among others, it approved the final provisions of the Book Tree which is the bill of rights and obligations.

h) May 11. The Committee made a final review of the provision contained in the 20-Book Eagles Magna Carta. It agreed to have a special meeting on May 14 for the final approval of the Committee Report.

i) May 14. The whole day special meeting was devoted to final review of the provisions of the 20 Books of the Magna Carta particularly those of Eagles Code of Laws. Each Book was discussed and deliberated before the Committee finally approved the provision thereof.

5. The Committee believed that it was able to simplify, clarify, synthesize and streamline in the proposed Eagles Magna Carta the various laws of the Philippine Eagles which have become prolix. Indeed, the Eagles prolix laws during the past decade needed desired pruning.

The Declaration of Goals and Objectives of The Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles) of 1979 has been fully retained.

The Constitution and By-Laws of 1979, as amended and re-amended with minor amendments, has been likewise retained. The structure of government of the Philippine Eagles in vogue since its founding in 1979 entirely escaped the scalpel of the Committee.

The provisions of the Eagles Code of Laws, the Election Laws, the Rules of the General Assembly, the Philippine Eagles Institute of Leadership, the Philippine Eagles National Presidents’ League and the Junior Eagles Law has been refined and retained.

The new provisions added significantly are those contained in Book Ten on institutional commissions; Book Eleven on account and audit; Book Twelve on rituals and institutional practices, etcetera; and Book Seventeen on forms.

The provisions contained in Book Eight on Eagles Clubs, Regions and dues were lifted and distilled from existing provisions of laws. So, with Book Fifteen on the Eagles Ethical Code and Book Sixteen on national congress. By and large, the significant changes are found in the new concept and provisions incorporated in the Magna Carta. Except for the refinements introduced, most of the substantial provisions in existing laws have been retained.

The Eagles Magna Carta, presented as Committee Bill or GA Bill No. 1, became the great charter of the Philippine Eagles. In a manner of speaking, the Magna Carta provides the basis for guaranteeing the civic rights of the Eagles under the rule of law enshrined therein. Every Eagles in placed under the mantle of the Magna Carta, and no Eagles shall be above it.

EAGLES DAWN

By Eagle Celso P. Mariano

PEIL Executive Director Emeritus

The Historic Rendezvous May 1979

They were barely six or seven when they initially met at Aberdeen Court, Quezon Avenue, Quezon City. The second meeting was probably a bigger group, perhaps only thirteen of them. No clear or specific agenda was prepared. Nothing was definite in the minds of the group except the fixed rendezvous at the Aberdeen Court.

None of them consciously knew that the meeting they had hurriedly arranged were already the inception of a historical rendezvous which was to eventually have some fixed destiny in the country.

The nucleus group grew in numerous numbers every time it met. The original paltry nucleus was composed of Nilo H. Raymundo, Pedro R. Balbanero, Celso P. Mariano, Crisanto T. Saruca, Rizal Alberto C. Nolido, Eugenio E. Llanera, Eleuterio C. Dumogho, Mel P. Samson, Lorenzo “Choc” Tolentino, Mel V. Diaz, Dominador DL. Ordonez, Ambrosio A. Valones and Arturo Purugganan, all prominent Lion members of District 201-D of Lions Club International.

For want of any fixed agenda, the discussion during the meetings of the nucleus group went on and on and meandered on a variety of topic and subjects.

Although free-wheeling, the discussions were serious, analytical, perceptive and at times, light and bantered. Inevitably, they buckled down to the implacable controversy which beleaguered Lions District 301-D.

The group fell that somewhat it had some stake in the problem because most of its members were occupying top positions in the Lions District.

Some had expressed disappointments over the sharp divisions among the Lions which inexorably exacerbated because their leaders entirely failed to close ranks.

Earlier on, the group had Nilo H. Raymundo on deck to run as District Governor of Lion District 301-D. In fact, Raymundo was to have run earlier but temporized and postponed the seeking to another time.

That time never came at all. The events and decisions that had shape during the meetings entirely reversed any ambitions in the Lions organization.

The group by some unwitting stroke of fate was already deciding to chart an entirely new but tenuous course of history which brought into the offing and forming of an indigenous service organization conceived on strong brotherhood.

The group staked their gambit and decided finally to take the historical risk. An indigenous civic organization ideologically crafted on strong fraternalism was soon to be in less than a month after those series of historic rendezvous.

The Critical Choice

The inexorable decision of the nucleus group to form a Philippine-Born fraternal civic organization spread like wild fire. The civic odyssey being launched by the group was welcomed with mixed feelings of approval, cynicism and skepticism. The group was undaunted.

Many names were proposed for the incipient indigenous civic organization. The first proposal was to name the organization after the tamaraw, an indigenous wild carabao. This did not do because the name was earlier pre empted by another group.

Some Lions (not the nucleus group) who later joined this Philippine civic Odessa suggested that the organization could perhaps be named Philippine Lions presumably it was perceived that the members of the nuclei group were all Lion members.

The proposal was nonetheless rejected because the name itself would have been conflict-laden later on and it was the consensus of the group that it was never wise to name the organization with controversial undercurrents.

Some suggested the name griffin which, in Greek mythology, is a creature with the head, wings, and forelegs of an eagle the body, hind legs, and tall of a lion. This name was likewise rejected by the group saying that the name of the organization should not be derived from the myth but from some reality. Somebody proposed the name Lakan but was rejected as very parochial.

The group thought of the Philippine Eagle, an indigenous but endangered bird. The group’s immediate predilection for the name was visibly palpable.

The group requested Celso P. Mariano and Crisanto T. Saruca to make research and report as to whether or not the organization could have been named appropriately after the bird. Within a couple of days or so, Mariano and Saruca told the group that naming the organization after the Philippine Eagle was very appropriate saying that the Philippine Eagle is, after all, a majestic bird, courageous, noble and possessed with keen foresight.

The group adopted the proposed name which is now The Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles) or briefly the Philippine Eagles.

Brotherhood Concord

More than a mere civic organization, The Fraternal Order (Philippine Eagles) is a historic brotherhood concord.

The nucleus group believed that strong fraternalism should characterize its humanitarian service. It agreed that its guiding principle shall be SERVICE THROUGH STRONG BROTHERHOOD. The group issued a statement to the following effect:

We have called our organization The Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles) because we have chosen as our guiding principle

“SERVICE THROUGH STRONG BROTHERHOOD”

The choice of the name was conscious and the idea behind the choice of the word “fraternal” is deliberate. We should, indeed, be brothers in the service and the word “fraternal” precisely describes the quality of our bond. This philosophy we want to intensify among us.

What is Eagleism?

Eagleism is not found in any old or modem lexicon. It is a word peculiar to The Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles) which has genuinely evolved as fraternalism.

The fraternal “ism” in the Philippine Eagles has sprung from its declaration of policies and objectives seeking to “establish a strong bond of brotherhood and fraternities among the members as keystone to service.”

It is an institutional declaration clearly articulated in its guiding principle which is SERVICE THROUGH STRONG BROTHERHOOD.

The letter A in the word Eagles was deliberately crafted and shall mean “Animated primarily by a strong bond of brotherhood and fraternal ties.

The fraternal “ism” shall be achieved by encouraging exchange of business, professional, cultural, social and other opportunities and advantages for the mutual benefits of the members and the civic fraternity.

In essence, Eagleism is fraternalism or that state of relationship characteristic of brothers. In the Philippine Eagles, the members must have primordially developed a deep since of brotherhood among them. The primacy of their relationship is brotherhood.

Eagleism is humanitarianism which shall be ethical commitment or concern for human welfare or relations in general and shall be expressed in philanthropic activities or interest in social reforms.

This expressed the declaration of goals and objectives of the Philippine Eagles saying that it shall be “enlightened and innovative humanitarian” and committing that it shall “be interested in promoting… social legislation and provide forum for (its) discussion.”

Eagleism is civic national “Ism”. In the declaration of goals and objectives forged in 1979, the Philippine Eagles declares that it shall be “emblazed with intense mission of service to country, its people and its community”. The declaration has been reiterated in the Eagles Constitution now part of the Eagles Magna Carta.

Civic national ‘ism’ shall mean that the Philippine Eagles “shall and give its humanitarian service, usefulness and relevance to the Philippine community and its people” and “shall pursue vigilantly and in tensely its personal humanitarian service geared to give maximum benefit to the needy sectors of the Philippine community and its people.

Civic national “ism” in the context of Eagleism is neither “selfish” nor “bigotism”.

It is neither isolation from the rest of the civic world nor of the many civic groupings in the country’s midst. In fact, Eagleism is humanitarianism whose concern is for the human race.

The civic national “ism” in Eagleism is a system of priority which recognizes that it may not “outsoar” its humanitarian endeavors beyond its Philippine environs unless it shall be able to give first its service, usefulness and relevance to the Philippine community. It seeks to practice charity at home. before it shall reach out.

Eagleism is something more. In the declaration of policies and objectives of the Philippine Eagles, it says that the Philippine Eagles shall be:

E – Enlightened and innovative humanitarian

A – Animated primarily by a strong bond of brotherhood and

G – God-loving, non-sectarian
L – Law-abiding, liberty-oriented, non-political

E – Emblazed with intense mission of
S – Service to country, its people and its community

Finally, Eagleism “shall mean reliability of the Eagles’ commitment to brother Eagle” exemplified in what the Philippine Eagles institutionally calls the Alalayang Agila.

In such Alalayan, the Eagles “shall have shared each other’s problem or moments of importance and shall have expanded and enhanced their sense and spirit of brotherhood.”

It is perhaps synonymous to bayanihan but it “shall transcend the mere supportive sense of helping a brother Eagle.”
