Bahrain Noble Eagles Club (BNEC) History
The Bahrain Noble Eagles Club (BNEC) began in May 2022, when Eagle Emilio “Jun-Jun” Samporna shared his journey as a member of the Philippine Eagle Brotherhood with a colleague. Inspired by his story, discussions soon evolved into a collective effort to form an Eagles Club in Bahrain. A WhatsApp group was created to gather interested kababayans, and it quickly grew, reaching the required number of applicants to begin the club formation. Eagle Roy Ranes and Lady Eagle Jo-an Samporna likewise played major roles in building the foundation of what would become BNEC.
With the guidance of Eagle Glenn Pogaja, President of the Sibugay Noble Eagles Club—the sponsoring club and Lady Eagle Rizalyn T. Pogaja- President of the Sibugay Noble Lady Eagles Club—organizational meetings were conducted from August to November 2022. These meetings paved the way for the formal adoption of the club’s name, identity, and logo. Early orientations and gatherings in A’ali and Buri strengthened camaraderie among members and solidified the group’s commitment to the Eagles’ mission.
BNEC marked its first official community service with the Dumistan Beach Clean-Up on December 17, 2022, followed by additional service activities in Juffair and Nurana, fulfilling the requirements of the 5I’s. Interviews, initiation processes, and incubation. Activities continued into early 2023 as part of the club formation phase.
A major milestone took place on July 1, 2023, with the Chartering and Induction Ceremony of the Bahrain Noble Eagles Club. The event was graced by national officers and delegates of the Philippine Eagles, led by National President Kuya Arnold E. Landayan. A total of 37 Kuya and 25 Ate were inducted as charter members of BNEC and the Bahrain Noble Lady Eagles Club (BNLEC). Distinguished guests, including the Philippine Ambassador to Bahrain, were present and extended messages of support.
Today, the Bahrain Noble Eagles Club stands as a thriving and dynamic organization committed to humanitarian service, unity, brotherhood, and community involvement. BNEC continues to uphold the ideals and traditions of the Philippine Eagles, serving both the Filipino community and the Kingdom of Bahrain with pride and purpose—now further strengthened under the leadership of Club President 2026, Eagle Eduardo O. Hernandez, who guides the organization toward continued growth and service excellence, under the guidance of the Bahrain Noble Region, led by Regional Governor Ruben Y. Laguidao, Jr,,,🦇🦇🦇💪💪💪
