In July 1998, when PP Pete Petisme of RC Cainta was designated DGSR by then DG Tony Co, he invited a group of prospective Rotarians to a once-a-week meeting at the Tuhog, Tsibog, Busog Restaurant along Ortigas Avenue. The objective of the meetings was to form the ROTARY CLUB OF CAINTA BROOKSIDE HILLS (RCCBH), a community-based Rotary Club.

After a series of meetings where the prospective members experienced the brand of Rotary camaraderie and fellowship, an election of officers was called on 14 November 1998. Rolly de Guzman was elected Charter President. It was on 12 December of the same year that the Club was chartered, and members were inducted in a fitting ceremony at the Brookside Hills Area 8 covered court.

Since 2003, the members have been meeting weekly every Tuesday evening at the Roofdeck Grille and Café, located at # 35 Melani Drive, Brookside Hills Subdivision. Among the flagship projects that the Club has undertaken are the following:

Development of the Joggers’ and Children’s Park at the Brookside Area 4 Oval in RY 1998-1999 & 1999-2000: This project was funded out if the proceeds from the highly successful fund-raising activity “Golf-For-A-Cause”;
