The Subic Metro Executive Lions Club (SMELC) proudly participated in the Orient and South East Asia Lions (OSEAL) Forum held in Sapporo, Japan, from October 23 to 26, 2025.

A total of 16 SMELC members actively joined this prestigious international gathering, representing the club with pride, enthusiasm, and the true spirit of Lionism.

One of the forum’s highlights was the exchange of Lions pins—a cherished tradition that symbolizes friendship, unity, and a shared commitment to service among Lions from across the globe. SMELC members took part in this meaningful activity, forging new bonds and strengthening international fellowship.

Members also enjoyed meeting fellow Lions from around the world, including many from the Philippines, while exploring the scenic streets of Sapporo. These moments of camaraderie further deepened their sense of connection and purpose as part of the global Lions family.

A key event during the forum was the Meeting of Club Presidents with Lions Clubs International President A.P. Singh, who shared inspiring insights on making every Lions club vibrant, active, and service-driven. His message encouraged leaders to cultivate engagement, passion, and unity within their clubs—empowering them to make a greater impact in their communities.
