Message from Worshipful Brother Jaime P. Magnetico

I would like to congratulate the brethren who made the 6th Mindanao Scottish Rite Convention successful.  First and foremost to Bro. Oscar V. Badelles, 32° KCCH, the Convention Director, likewise to the following brethren:   Bro. Eduardo D. Ulindang, 32° KCCH,  Chairman, Convention Secretariat; Ill. James T. Yu, 33° IGH, Valley Supervisor, Ill. Rodolfo B. Montalban, 33° IGH, Venerable Master, Iligan Lodge of Perfection; to the investiture team headed by Bro. Giuseppe S. Tianco, 32° KCCH, most of all to Ill. Warlito M. Sanguila, 33° IGH, Valley Deputy, Valley of Iligan and Ill. Buenaventura C. Alipio, 33° SGIG, Orient of Lanao.

To the rest of the brethren who keep the two-day convention alive, "Mabuhay kayong lahat!"

Brethren, in our desire to "pass" Bro. Ivan Banaag with the team purely compose of the brethren from Iligan Lodge No. 207, the three lights decided to move the "passing" of Bro. Ivan Banaag to November 19, 2011.  The brethren who will be absent this coming October 22, 2011 are the following:  Bro. JW Roger Nuñeza, will be in Surigao City, Bro. SD Rene Tan, still in Manila; VW Genesis Calit, lecturer, will have a meeting in Cagayan de Oro City.

In as much we don't have yet a "Family Bonding" affair, we decided and of course with the approval of the body, to have a joint Family Bonding & Christmas Party, this coming December 10, 2011.  Brethren I will greet you "Merry Christmas" in advance.
