Rajah Indarapatra Lodge No 387 Consecrated: 24 May 2009

Brethren,

I have witnessed the constitution of RAJAH INDARAPATRA LODGE NO. 387 in Marawi City last May 24 and it was my first time to experience that auspicious event; and I am so impressed with the solemnity of the ceremonies.

The installation of officers immediately followed and the Charter Master - VW BRO MUSA SARUANG departed slightly from the traditional inaugural address by eloquently enlightening the non-Masons in the audience about the basic principles of Masonry and why it should not be misconstrued as a religion.

The preparations were superb and the Maranao cuisine during lunch was perfect.

The trip to Marawi was indeeda rendezvous of sort, and the brethren were great hosts to all of us. Mabuhay kayo RAJAH INDARAPATRA LODGE NO. 387.
