MSU New President: Bro Dr Macapado A Muslim

On behalf of all Mindanao State University DeMolays and Masons, I would like to congratulate our Dad and Brother, Dr. Macapado "Mac" Abaton Muslim who was just sworned in as the new President of our Alma Mater, Mindanao State University (MSU System).

Dad Mac Muslim once served as member of our Advisory Council in the University Chapter, Order of DeMolay in MSU, Marawi City.

Bro. Mac Muslim is the fourth Freemason to hold this prestigious and most coveted position. The three others before him were, the late former KSA Ambassador Brother Mauyag Tamano, the late Governor of Lanao del Sur, Worshipful Brother Mohammad Ali Dimaporo and just recently, Dad and Worshipful Brother Dr Camar A. Umpa.

Kudos, Dad Mac!
