A strong delegation of young leaders from JCI Philippines Metro Area took center stage at the 2025 JCI Asia Pacific Conference (ASPAC) as they were formally inducted into the elite roster of STAR Local Members. The recognition, conferred during ASPAC’s closing ceremonies at the Steppe Arena in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia celebrates individual JCI members who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to training, leadership, and community impact.
How the STAR Distinction Is Earned
To become a STAR Local Member, candidates must complete JCI’s prescribed leadership and skills‑development courses, take on chapter or community projects that deliver measurable results, and log a minimum number of training hours and service credits verified by their local organization. Applications are screened at the national level and endorsed to the Asia Pacific Development Council for final validation, making the ASPAC citation the capstone of a rigorous, year‑long process.
Why It Matters
For local organizations, having a STAR awardee signals a high‑caliber training environment and a culture of excellence that attracts new volunteers and partners. At the Metro Area level, each new STAR strengthens the region’s talent pool, ready to spearhead flagship programs under the Drive for Change agenda.
A Win for Metro Area and the Philippines
Metro Area’s newest STAR awardees hail from chapters in Metro East, Metro South, and Metro North, reflecting the depth and diversity of leadership across the region. Their success amplifies the Philippines’ footprint within the JCI Asia Pacific community and reinforces Metro Area’s reputation as a breeding ground for globally competitive young professionals.
“Every STAR Local Member is proof that purposeful training and servant leadership can create ripples well beyond our shores,” said Area Vice President JM Moyaen. “Their international recognition energizes our Drive for Change by showing what is possible when passion meets disciplined preparation.”
As they return home, the awardees are set to mentor future candidates, replicate best practices in their chapters, and champion inclusive projects that keep Metro Area—and the entire JCI Philippines organization—at the forefront of positive change.
