Message from the Worshipful Master - February 19, 2011 - WB Jaime P. Magnetico

Greetings Brethren.

February 19, 2011 is the first meeting of my term as your Worshipful Master. February is also a "Love" month and I greet you a belated "Happy Valentines".

Our joint installation with the Manticao Lodge No. 243 was a successful one.  I would like to thank VW Van Cornelius D. Luspo, our Installing Officer, VW Wellington H. Yee, the Master of Ceremony, and VW James L. Booc, the Assistant Master of Ceremony for their outstanding performance.  The same thanks go to WB Eduardo D. Ulindang, for reading the Ancient Charges.  The same goes to our "atik-atik" mentor, VW Warly M. Sanguila and of course to WB Vic Mariano for their instructions and guidance on the rituals.

In behalf of the Iligan Lodge No. 207 officers for Masonic Year 2011, I wish to extend our profound and sincerest gratitude to the brethren of this lodge and likewise to the brethren of the Manticao Lodge No. 243 and especially it's Worshipful Master, WB Michael Ernest A.B. Quidlat, for their contribution both physically, financially, "in-kind" which insured the success of the said event.  Mabuhay!

I would like also to thank our guest speaker, Bishop Hilario M. Gomez, Jr., for his inspiring speech.  Likewise, thanks goes to the sons of SW Abel Gomez for their guitar renditions.

We had a successful caucus at the Ubaldo D. Laya Masonic Center last January 27, 2011.  We revisited the missions of our lodge and I presented the proposed plans and programs for Iligan Lodge No. 207 for the Masonic Year 2011.  Among those present were WB Oscar V. Badelles, WB Vic Mariano, VW G. Audwin Garzon, VW James T. Yu, Wb Eduard Cueto, Bro. H. Abel Gomez, Bro. Roger Nuñeza, Bro. Pat D. Noel, Bro. BJ Siao and Bro. Lloyd Aguilar.  I would like to thank the participants.

Our Brother Secretary, VW G. Audwin Garzon, was hospitalized at the Mercy Hospital and admitted to the ICU last February 1, 2011.  He stayed at the ICU for nine days.

Thank you very much for your prayers and financial support and his condition is improving and hopefully he will checkout this coming February 17, 2011.
