Senior Warden - Bro. Ivan Banaag

Junior Warden - Bro. Alykhan Ali

Treasurer - WB Jimmy Magnetico

The elections for the Junior Warden was quite close as it started with 6 names, then down to 3 names and finally to 2 names.  Bro. Alykhan Ali emerged finally as the choice of the Brethren.  Thank you for the trust and confidence shown to the elected officers.

The Lodge will be attending the 118th Rizal Day Commemorative Program at the Rizal Park at 7 o'clock in the morning after which all the Brethren of the District will meet at the UDLMC for the Workshop, Proficiency and Seminar for everyone interested especially those who are elected officers for the ensuing term.

After a suspenseful elections, we had a Christmas Party held at the function hall of the UDLMC and it was fun with lots of singing.  The program though short was filled with laughter. A singing contest then followed which was participated by 8 brothers from different lodges.  A small love token was then given to the beloved wives of our departed brethren of Iligan Lodge No. 207.

Worshipful Master

Brethren:

Greetings and May the Grand Architect of the Universe bless us and our loved ones with good health.

The fever of the Christmas season is with us now.  I am sure you are all hearing the usual songs for the season.  It also set to me, that my term as your Master of the Iligan Lodge No. 207 is about to end.  I wish to reiterate my dream that we should all work to bring back our lodge into what it signify in this district.

Our program Bring-a-Friend was received satisfactorily by those we invited, that at least three (3) gave their petition for the degrees of Masonry to the Secretary.  We have now seven (7) petitioners, hopefully to join us next year.   I just regretted that  not one was voted favorably in our lodge, hopefully next year will boast our desire to resuscitate our lodge to more active activities that will make masonry more relevant in our time and the future.

Lastly, let me thank all the brethren who supported us in our journey this year.  Bro. Pat Noel, Senior Warden and Bro. Ivan Banaag, Junior Warden gave their best to make our journey worth remembering.

TOGETHER BRETHREN let us make once more Iligan Lodge No. 207 the jewel of the Masonic District!

Worshipful Master

Brethren:

Greetings and may the Grand Architect of the Universe bless us and our loved ones with good health.

The first District Convention of Masonic District RX-D and ARMM is scheduled on August 9.  It was agreed that each lodge in the district shall at least register 20 members to this convention.  I appeal to the brethren to support this activity.  The convention shall put some times on the exemplification of the opening and closing of a Master Mason lodge using the amended Monitor.  After the formal activity, the inter lodge Bowling fun games shall follow.  The registration of the brethren is PhP600.00 which will take care of our two snacks and lunch and other materials.  Each lodge shall pay PhP1,000.00 for this bowling activity.

The Secretary is finalizing the Bring-a-Friend program which is scheduled on our stated meeting August 16, 2014.  This will be a district activity and it was the idea of many brethren that all the petitioners of lodges shall attend this activity.

The attendance of the brethren to our stated meeting is a joy to me and I hope that my Iligan Lodge 207 brethren shall continuously support lodge and its programs.

TOGETHER BRETHREN let us make once more Iligan Lodge No. 207 the jewel of the Masonic District!

Past Masters Night / DDGM's Turn-over Ceremonies

How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together...for the past Masters Night and the DDGM's Turn-over Ceremonies.  It is like...what happened in Iligan Lodge No. 207 last May 17, 2014.

Iligan Lodge No. 207's anniversary was during the previous month of April, but due to the preparation for the Ancom, the lodge opted to do it on the following month during the stated meeting for the month of May and it turned out to be one of the lodge's highlight of the year - RW Tomas G. Rentoy III, the Deputy Grand Master of Masons of the Philippines was present to celebrate it with us and to witness the turn-over ceremony of the District Deputy Grand Master VW Eduardo Ulindang to the present DDGM VW Feliciano Alagao.

RW Rentoy was very much impressed with the ceremonies that he informed the district that there was a plan of scrapping the ceremonies because some districts are doing it without giving importance to the position...like just doing it anywhere they please...in a restaurant or elsewhere where they are having fellowship.  Which to him was just any ordinary fellowship because they forgot the importance of the position of the office.  So when he witnessed how RX-D & Armm (Lanao) went through the event, he highly suggested that the whole jurisdiction of the GLP adopt the way we do it.  Leading the right way, the proper way.  The pictures below showed how it was done and what happen right after.

Message from the Worshipful Master
Bro. Ali M. Bari

My Dear Brethren,

Greetings of peace and may the Great Architect of the Universe bless us and our families.

This month, we joined the City of Iligan in the celebration of the Independence Day last June 12.  Masons in their regalia march from the lodge to the City Rizal Plaza for the program.  WB Cesar Miguel of Maranaw Lodge 111 delivered the "Salute to the Flag" and VW Feliciano Alagao, DDGM assisted Mayor Celso Regencia in the raising of the Philippine flag.

Last June 16, 2014, the Masonic District participated in the Civic-Military Parade in the observance of the "Araw ng Iligan".   The Iligan Shriners provided the clown, distributing candies along the way.  At the end of these activities, a sumptuous breakfast was provided by the district.

We are now halfway of the masonic year and I am still looking to our different programs for the community.  We are finalizing our "Adopt-a-School" program.  We request the brethren of Iligan Lodge No. 207 to support this activity.  We also hope to implement the "Bring-a-Friend" program of the district in August, our visit to our sister Lodge, the L.T. Pañares Lodge 220 on September, Widows and Orphans celebration in October and the Beehive recognition in November.

Lastly, we thank the Brethren for the support in the visit of RW Tomas G. Rentoy III, Deputy Grand Master of Masonic in this jurisdiction last month.

TOGETHER BRETHREN let us make once more Iligan Lodge No. 207 the Jewel of the Masonic District!
