"Together Brethren!
Congratulations to Bro Macarthur "Mac" F. Corsino of Mt Kaladias Lodge No 91, Dumaguete City. He is truly a gem and brings honor to our fraternity.
Last June 19, 2008, Bro Mac took his oath as Philippine Ambassador to Cuba, with concurrent jurisdiction over the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Jamaica, before Hon. Secretary of Foreign Affairs Alberto G. Romulo.
His ambassadorial appointment by the President was confirmed by the Commission on Appointments last June 11, 2008 and will assume his post sometime August. He is returning to Oman soon where he is still the Philippine Consul General, but should be back in RP next month or early August before departing for Havana."
As emailed by Bro Augusto "Gus" E. Alvarez, PDGL, Rafael Palma Lodge # 147.
According to Bro Joji Bulawin; (who also extends his congratulations to our new Honorable Ambassador) said that Bro Mac Corsino, Phd is his former professor at Silliman University and a brother DeMolay from Leon Kilat Chapter (now Dumaguete Chapter).
The Daily Tribune also reported: "Macarthur Corsino, chief of mission, class II, as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Cuba with the concurrent jurisdiction over the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti and Jamaica."
Our congratulations to the Hon Amb and Brother Mac Corsino!

"Thank You" VWBro Romulo Palacol Alcala, PDDGM
It has pleased the Great Architect of the Universe to call from the shores of time, from the bosom of a beloved family and the society of devoted Brethren, our VWB Romulo Palacol Alcala, PDDGM.
I am sensible that no effort of mine could pay an adequate tribute to the ennobling traits of character which (has ever) distinguished him in all his intercourse and associations with men, more particularly in our Fraternity. Just the same, I will try, as a gesture of thanking him for what I’ve become as a Master Mason (as I am) today.
VW Romy has left to us; who loved and admired him, a name which we will hereafter fondly cherish, so beautifully sublime in its perfect resignation to the will of Providence, to feel “that He doeth all things well.”
We pay tribute to his worth, and will borne him to the grave and will leave him wrapped in his quiet slumbers. We will look upon his tomb, and there, his once active form lies cold and still, robed in the habiliments of the grave; his genial eye is closed, and his hand so wont to grasp our own is still and calm in death; the soul which inspired it has fled; his cheek is no longer flushed with hope and he has no part in anything that is done on earth.
How forcibly this event reminds us that we are but travelers on the stormy ocean of life; and we feel that he has only crossed the ocean of time to another land and a fairer clime, and that his spirit will rise above the din and mists of earth and float amid the sunlight of the Celestial Lodge above.
VW Romy had no doubt excelled in dedicating himself to be respectable in life and in our Craft. He is a kind thoughtful brother who has always displayed an intense interest for the welfare of the Craft. He has practically educated our generation in the knowledge of Freemasonry. He has never failed to assist at every opportunity. He is a highly informed brother, respected, loved and admired throughout the Craft, which in itself is a testimony to his outstanding character.
He tirelessly taught us (about)the floor works and rituals, proper decorum, Masonic principles, laws and jurisprudence, and guided us to grasp the true meaning of what Freemasonry is. He was a vigorous advocate of the true Masonry within us. VW Romy is the epitome of the adage, “The true Mason labors for the benefit of those who are to come after him.”
Thus, go well, our dear Very Worshipful Brother, knowing full well that you have not only fulfilled your "Charge" but you have indeed led it!!!

I am one of the granddaughters of Romulo P. Alcala. I was typing his name on Google hoping to know more about the man whom I admire but did not know as well as I should have, when chanced upon this site and read about the reverence with which my lolo's brothers hold him.
In behalf of the Alcala family, I am deeply humbled. He was a great man and it moves me and my family to know that our grief in his passing is shared by many people whose lives he has touched. I do not know you but I am certain that you mattered to my lolo and I thank you, in behalf of my family for remembering him.

FilMasons Elected at UGL NSW & ACT Meet: 11 June
Three members of the FilMasons Association of NSW, Inc. Australia were elected and advanced to the United Grand Lodge of New South Wales & Australian Capital Territory (UGL NSW & ACT) 11 June Quarterly Communications.
The three brethren elected and advanced at the Grand Lodge meeting held at the Sydney Masonic Centre are as follows:
VWBro Fidel Pamplona, Deputy Grand Pursuivant, was appointed as Grand Standard Bearer.
VWBro Manny Maniago, DGIW of District 28, was elected as Grand Pursuivant.
VWBro Zaldy Angeles, Grand Steward, was elected as Deputy Grand Pursuivant.
"Some Masonic Grand Lodges have an office known as the Grand Pursuivant. The office is unknown at the local Masonic lodge level. It is the Grand Pursuivant's duty to announce all applicants for admission into the Grand Lodge by their names and Masonic titles; to take charge of the jewels and regalia of the Grand Lodge; to attend all communications of the Grand Lodge, and to perform such other duties as may be required by the Grand Master or presiding officer." (Wikipedia)
In an article on the FilMasons' Blogazine, Bro Louie Reyes further said:
"These brethren, along with RWB Rey Porras, PJGW, (now Regional Grand Counsellor, Region 11 and a District Commander and a 33rd degree Sovereign Grand Inspector General (SGIG) of the The Supreme Council 33rd degree of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Australia) are all veteran members of the UGL NSW & ACT's Ceremonial Team and their elections are a measure of the regard and respect in which they are held by the brethren in general and particularly those in Grand office."
