Congratulations to the new CSPI President
Congratulations to the new President of Celebrity Club – the first female President to ever lead the Club since its creation in 1977. Elected by the Board of Directors by a unanimous vote, Atty. Dot has served the Club for more than 20 years as Chairperson of the Social and Special Events Committee then as a Member of Celebrity’s Board of Directors.
Dot is a Professor of Intellectual Property Law, a tv-radio host of a multi-awarded Public Service show, and a writer for the Philippine Star. A known philanthropist who raises funds to send poor but deserving students to school and to assist ailing artists, Dot is also the Chairman Emeritus of the Association of Congressional Chiefs of Staff, and head of several other organizations. Also a singer, she leads the UP Concert Chorus Alumni Association as its President and works hard to get government and private support for artists and performers.
Pres. Dot is married to Freeport Area of Bataan Chairman Atty. Pablo Gancayco, (son of Supreme Court Justice Emilio Gancayco), a former Rotary Governor of Rotary District 3780 and Senior VP of the Asian Patent Attorneys’ Association.
They have two children Jon, married to Java owners of real estate company RE/MAX Portfolio Brokerage Tomas Morato, and Mika, – a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Business Administration in UP and now a third year Law student at the UP College of Law.
In Celebrity, Dot, together with the members of the Social and Special Events Committee, organizes very successful monthly and yearly events including Christmas Parties, Members’ Nights and Club Anniversaries. She is also actively involved in the Club’s Outreach programs. For the past year, the Committee also held highly educational seminars for those who are 50 years old and above through the Bright, Fit and Fab “BFF” Club.
Let us all give Pres. Dot our wholehearted support.
