Amity Lodge No 11 IGLPI Consituted: 11 Nov 2011

The number 11-11-11-11 is a lucky number so far as IGLPI is concerned. On the eleventh month , November, at the eleventh day, of the eleventh year of the year 2000; the eleventh Lodge of IGLPI was constituted in due and proper form.


The Lodge eventually satisfied the requirements to be chartered and numbered. It satisfied the primary criterion that it has initiated, passed and raised at least fifteen (15) Master Masons and other criteria specified under the IGLPI Philippine Masonic Law Book 2009, Part III, Administration of Lodges, Book I The Member Lodges, Article I Organization of a New Lodge, Section 7.

A Special Grand Assembly was convened by the Grand Master, MW Bro Cesar de Leon Go, with the presence of the Grand Lodge Officers at Pintong Bato Lodge No 9 at 3 pm and a large attendance of brethren from the Lodges in the jurisdiction of IGLPI for the primary purpose of constituting Amity Lodge No 11.

After the Lodge was constituted, an election of its officers was held. The chartered members were asked to apply for regular or plural membership by signing the newly adopted Lodge Constitution and By-Laws and pay the Lodge dues within the prescribed period and thus be eligible to vote and be voted upon.

The installation of elected and appointed lodge officers followed with MW Bro Joseph Capuyan as Installing Master, assisted by VW Bro Petronilo Bulanhagi as Master of Ceremonies, and VW Bro Teodulo Jeciel as Assistant Master of Ceremonies. Installed were the following lodge officers:

Worshipful Master - WM Arwen C Nacional, PM

Senior Warden - Bro Frederick R Masangkay

Junior Warden - Bro Adlai Jawid

Secretary - Bro William Belda

Auditor - VW Bro Rae M Jarder

Treasurer - Bro Jun Albania

I congratulate and extol the labors done by the founding charter members of Amity Lodge No 11 which mostly came from La Naval Lodge No 7 and Bagong Ilaw Lodge No 6, particularly, VW Bro Rae Jarder the First Master, VW Bro Aldo Olaguer, VW Bro Nic Bolanos, Bro Ray Valenzuela, VW Bro Bong Carranza, WBro Mark Limpin and others. They were joined by the elders MW Bro Joseph Capuyan PGM and MW Bro Nonoy Carranza Jr PGM.

The Lodge name “Amity” is very significant and meaningful for Masonry. Harmony and brotherly love will fuse them together to labor and sail the journey with IGLPI towards [TRUE] Masonry.

November 15, 2011 MW Bro Jaime V Bantolo, PGM, IGLPI.

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

WBro Henry Palacio was instrumental in bringing the brethren of Saudi Arabia to dwell together in unity. Together with Kuyang Lemuel Rafanan, Kuyang Fred Base, Kuyang Jay Tayag, Kuyang Leonardo Vidal, Kuyang Jomer Palapal and few others he exerted so much effort to form a Masonic Club in this country. They were few in numbers then but he continued tirelessly to communicate with the brethren who are in and will be coming to Saudi Arabia to see his dream coming true.


Having left last June for home, Kuyang Henry and his family were to leave Philippines for Canada on October 12, 2011 for good. He was not able to see his labors for the Order bearing fruit in this middle eastern country. Now, Riyadh Travelers is existing and getting stronger with the brethren of MWGLP and Desert Light Military Lodge No. 124, MWPHGL of Oklahoma composing; and bearing witness to WBro Henry's love for Freemasonry withersoever he maybe.

Kuyang Henry the seed you have planted in Riyadh and elsewhere about KSA has now blossomed. Though I failed to meet thus in Riyadh but I am a witness of your labors for it was you who guided me to the brethren in Riyadh. It was you, thru PMYG, who gave me strong confidence so when I reach this nation, I may be with the brethren who are ready to embrace me.

Thank you so much Worshipful Sir thank you so much... farewell my brother, farewell.... the GAOTU will walk with you towards that undiscovered country where no traveler ever returned.
