Stumbled in your website, brods! Very nice work!
I hope to follow your posts, knowing that Filipino brethren are also here in the U.S.A. Just moved to Houston a couple of months ago from the Philippines.
Really nice knowing that I have brethren here.
On the level,

Kuyang Alfredo,
Thank you for leaving a comment. There is a Yahoo groups for Pinoy Masons whose members are mostly in the US and Philippines. But by and large, a truly worldwide network of Pinoy Masons.
If you want to join, just email the moderators at www.pinoymasons@yahoogroups.com. I am sure you are also aware of the GLPhils Yahoo Groups.
I know a couple of brethren from Lincln Lodge #34 who are residents of Houston, Texas. Let me know if you want me to forward your contacts or wish to contact them.
