The Three Great Lights
Our lodge is illuminated, figuratively speaking, by the Three Great Lights: The Holy Book, the square and the compass. Our Mason's faith is ruled by the Holy Book; our actions, by the square; and our bond with all mankind, by the compass. In person, these Three Great Lights function in accordance with their calling: the spirit, the soul and the intellect.
Akin to any other organizations, the Three Great Lights as represented by the Worshipful Master, the Senior Warden and the Junior Warden, need The Lesser Lights to light the Masons to, at and from his labour. The Senior and Junior Deacons are instrumental in bridging the gaps between the spirit and the soul, and between the soul and the mind. Together with the inner and the outer Guard, the Lodge is in full force in undertaking Masonic activities both inside and outside of the Masonic temple.
The tree-planting activity was personally labored by the Three Great Lights. As a builder, it is my fervent hope that the fruits of our labor will shine upon those who seek enlightenment.
Past Worshipful Master Jaime P. Magnetico also joined in shedding light on the school children who received the gift of love. The donation of school supplies was not only a physical manifestation that we care. The reception by the school children showed that our simple act of sharing was truly priceless.

"Give or share what little we have to those who have less or none at all!" - Pat Noel (not sure if i'm the original who coined this lines, but i've been using it for quite some time now. If you knew somebody who mentioned this before and feels that that person said it first and is entitled for the recognition, please comment so I may correct this. I have no intention to claim this one if I am not in the position to do so. Thank you and may the GAOTU bless us all!)
