About Us
Chartered: June 30, 1966
The first collaborative event of SI Baguio took place on May 29, 1966, in Burnham Hotel. Virginia “Gene” de Guia together
with Pluma Batten, SIA Director of Extension and Mariquit Castelo, the first Filipino Soroptimist and founder of Soroptimist International in the Philippinesinvited the twenty-four (24) charter members from a select group of women of distinction and leaders in their chosen professions.
The Soroptimist International of Baguio City (SI BAGUIO), having the distinction of being the third Soroptimist International club in the Philippines, was formally chartered on June 30,1966 with Gene de Guia as its Charter President. Meetings were held exclusively at the historic Casa Vallejo until the death of its owner, Nena Vallejo Garcia. SI Baguio donned a rich and interesting history with a low-key, hardworking and committed profile.
Members did not have any club uniform and the first official uniform was worn when SI Baguio hosted the 9th Regional Conference of SIPR held at the Green Valley Country Club in 1986, twenty years after its charter.
