Brethren and all,

The Bakersfield brethren are profoundly pleased to host the EB2EB in Bakersfield. The best time for the conduct of this affair is the month of May and we have reserved May 14, Saturday as the date to reckon with.

It will be held at the Bakersfield Masonic Temple from 11:00am – 5:00pm. We are still considering a GOLF tournament, either on May 13 or May 15, depending on the number of participants. June is a bad time because many of the brethren will be out of the country.

Also, the brethren are cordially invited to the installation ceremonies of Bakersfield Lodge #224 on Dec 16, 2010. Installation ceremonies at 6:30pm and dinner follows after the installation. Please RSVP to Zaldy Damazo, Ernie de Guzman or Dario Martinez.

Sincerely & Fraternally,

Kakarong de Sili Shrine Visitation: 28 Nov

Good Day Brethren!

I have been instructed by VW Bro Rey Cabauatan to echo what we have agreed upon last November 2010 stated meeting. We have agreed to visit the Kakarong de Sili Shrine in Pandi, Bulacan on November 28, 2010 (Sunday), and at the same time have our picnic/fellowship.

Our meeting place shall be at Walter Mart Mall in Sta. Maria, Bulacan at 9:00AM.

It is on this site where the bloodiest revolution in Bulacan took place where more than 3,000 Katipunero revolutionaries (most of which are believed to be Freemasons) died. Likewise, it is on this site where the Republic of Real de Kakarong de Sili of 1896 was established.

This is also an invitation to all brethren within the District R-III-E and elsewhere to join us on the said date. We'll have a potluck system [BYO] for our food and drinks.

For your information and guidance.

Duterte declares November 15-20 as Masons Week

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte declared November 15 to 20 and every year thereafter as the "Free and Accepted Masons Week" in the city.

Duterte recognized that freemasonry in the city "has not only grown in its membership and involvement in community affairs and activities' maturity, but has also become an active partner of the City Government".

Through Proclamation 10, the city mayor said Masons have greatly contributed in making the city what it is today "considering that many of its founding fathers were public officials and leaders of the city in their own right."

"The contributions of the Masons in the city continue until today as they have been conducting medical and dental missions benefiting many residents in the city as well as adopting schools and implementing socio-economic programs in the various communities of the city," Duterte said.

The Sarangani Lodge No. 50, a group of Masons was founded in the city November 11, 1918, under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Philippines. The body will celebrate its 92nd Charter Day on Saturday.

Other Lodges: the Davao Masonic Lodge No. 149, the Datu Bago Lodge No. 197, Toril Lodge No. 208, Beacon Lodge No. 213, and the Pdomo Lodge No. 294 which are all based in the city have the same ideals and aspirations as that of their mother Lodge, the Sarangani Lodge No. 50 which have contributed to the growth and development of the city, Duterte said.

"The City Government recognizes the sacrifices and efforts of the masons who are very supportive to all the city's programs, projects, and activities. It is but proper and fitting to recognize and extend the City Government's acknowledgement and appreciation of all the Masons in the city," Duterte said.

one of us must ere long pass to his reward.

Para sa hindi nakaka-kilala kay VW Bro Geminiano 'Jun' Galarosa: He is the second writer from the Philippine jurisdiction to be elected to the Masonic Brotherhood of the Blue Forget-me-Not, an organization of Masonic writers around the world.

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

-----------------------------

Brethren,

Our dear Bro. Geminiano de Vera Galarosa, Jr., more commonly known as "Kuya Jun" and "The Aging Lion" to his brothers in the Masonic Fraternity, dropped his working tools due to renal failure on August 5th, 2010 at the age of 69. His body was located initially for those who condoled at his residence in Guindulman, Bohol.

On Saturday, August 7th, he was transferred to the Masonic Temple of Dagohoy Lodge No. 84 in Tagbilaran City, his Lodge of membership. In the evening of the same day, full Masonic rites were given to him by two of his good friends, contemporaries and fellow Past Masters of his Mother Lodge, Quezon City Lodge No. 122, namely: VW Bro. Jose Lustre, PAGS, and VW Bro. Saul Exmundo, PDGL, who travelled all the way from Manila as Bro. Jun had requested that should he die, the two would give him the Masonic rites.

The following day, August 8th , Sunday at 1:00 pm, his remains were brought by his brothers of the Lodge headed by WM Jason Lopena (also a Senior DeMolay), to his final resting place at the Dagohoy Lodge Masonic Cemetery in Tagbilaran City, Bohol.

He is survived by his widow, Sis. Lorma (Amaranth and Eastern Star), three children, Bro. Ian (incumbent Junior Warden of Sierra Madre Lodge #181), Iris Ann (Bethel #22, IOJD), and Bro. Ivan (Quezon City Lodge #122; A. Mabini Chapter, Order of DeMolay), and six grand children, namely, Martina Victoria, Martin Miguel, Isabella, Enrico Rolando, Mika Lorenzo and Aidan Bono.

The entire Galarosa family wishes to thank all those who condoled, prayed, and extended their sympathies to the bereaved family and loved ones of Kuya Jun. Indeed, he is not only a loss to his family but to Freemasonry as he had dedicated his life towards them until he dropped his working tools. We would also like to thank the officers and members of Dagohoy Lodge No. 84 who ensured that everything was well taken cared of and that the widow and orphans be comforted. This was truly a great display of the fulfillment of their Masonic obligation.

Fraternally,

Bro. Ivan R. Galarosa

As we all know, MW Bro Lascano is the second Filipino-born Mason to become a Grand Master here in the US. He will be a good inspiration to all of us, Filipino-American Masons.

Again, thank you for your continued support to our Organization, PMAAI.

God bless us all.

Fraternally,

Bro. Dandy Barawid, PM

Jose Rizal Masonic Lodge of Cuba celebrates 54th year

Freemason Lodge in Cuba Extols Jose Rizal

Thursday, 15 April 2010 11:41 Public Information Service Unit [DFA]

15 April 2010 - The Philippine Embassy in Cuba reported to the Department of Foreign Affairs that Philippine national hero Jose Rizal's virtues and heroism were extolled at a program on April 12 in Havana marking the 54th anniversary of the founding of the Jose Rizal Masonic Lodge of Cuba [Logia Masonica Jose Rizal].

In a stirring oratory, Marciano Perez Quintero, a prominent Cuban Freemason, touched the hearts of his listeners when he recounted the life of Rizal as a dedicated patriot who bore no hatred for those who snuffed out his life by firing squad "in a cold December morning".

Orator of the Lodge, Alfonso Hernandez Ramirez gave another moving account in poetry form, of how Rizal dedicated his life and talents to the goal of enlightening and liberating his people since his youth, and even in exile in Dapitan.

Guest speaker and Philippine Ambassador to Cuba Dr. MacArthur F. Corsino, a Master Mason himself [and a Senior DeMolay, mod.], stressed that the national heroes of both Cuba and the Philippines, Jose Marti and Jose Rizal, were Masons. He said that from their pens and their blood arose two free and independent nations.

Ambassador Corsino added that his affinity with Cuban Masons helped him in his work of strengthening Cuban-Philippine relations on a people-to-people level.

Conducted entirely in Spanish, the program began with remarks by the Master of Jose Rizal Lodge Rene Alberto Duarte Mustelier.

An overflow crowd of over 200 Freemasons and family members attended, at the 10th floor of the Grand Lodge Temple in midtown Havana.

The Jose Rizal Masonic Lodge of Cuba was founded in Havana on April 12, 1956 by a handful of Cuban Freemasons well-versed in the parallel developments of Cuban and Philippine history and appreciative of the greatness of Rizal.

Similar to the Philippines, the Cuban revolution against Spain was spearheaded by Freemasons. Aside from their national heroes Marti and Rizal being Freemasons, the leaders who first declared independence for their respective countries, were Freemasons: Carlos Manuel de Cespedes of Cuba in 1868 and Emilio Aguinaldo of the Philippines in 1898 - who also both became the first Presidents of their countries.

Although Cuba is a Communist state and belief in God as their first principle, [the] Masonry remains a strong civic, non-political fraternity in the country. Founded in 1859, there are today over 40,000 Masons and 400 lodges across the island-nation.
