MESSAGE FROM THE EAST

WB Pat D. Noel
Worshipful Master 

Brethren, my heartfelt congratulations to the conferral team who showed their love for the craft and their prowess in performing the 1st degree.  Thanks to JW Bro. Alykhan Ali who was outstanding.  WB Abel Gomez who was the SD, Bro. Carl who gave the working tools, Bro. Marshal Ijay Sagario who delivered the lambskin apron very well.  And last but not the least, VW Ed Ulindang for the Charges, and VW Stephen Monterroyo for the lectures.   Brethren, Bro. Ted Yu and Bro. John Yasser Sanguila is expected to bring honor to the lodge in their journey.  Let us assist them and guide them well in their learning.

Last July 6, 2015, we made a visit to our sister lodge, the Leonardo T. Pañares Lodge No. 220 at Cagayan de Oro City.  Many thanks to the brethren who joined me in the visit.  Our VW Ian Uy, DDGM,  and Bro. Jerome Cañete both of Maranao Lodge No. 111, Bro. SW Ivan Banaag, VW James Yu, PDDGM, VW Eduardo Ulindang, PDDGM, Treasurer WB Jaime Magnetico, VW Eufemio Calio, PDGL who was also the Masonic education speaker; WB Oscar Badelles, and Bro. Beethoven Sales.  Again, thank you very much for being there.

We have already crossed the middle of the year and is now on the 2nd phase.  May I remind everyone of the new changes that was introduced to us by our Worshipful Grand Lodge through the Edicts issued by our beloved MW Tomas G. Rentoy III.  Our Masonic    education will tackle on this.  It will be presented and explained to us further by our very own VW Eduardo Ulindang, PDDGM, who will enlighten us.  Let us be present and listen to him.

I would like to rally our brethren of the Iligan Lodge No. 207 to be in attendance to the upcoming Masonic District Convention next month to be held at the Marro’s Cocina just across the temple.  Registration is at P600.00.  We are given the assignment of documenting the affair.  May I invite all brethren who has a      camera, whether a DSLR or a video camera to help us document this event.  It will be on August 1.  See you all there! 

And finally brethren, let me congratulate all our Brother Muslims who had just ended their holy month of Ramadhan.  May all our faiths bring us closer to our Master Creator, the True Living God, the Great Architect of the Universe, the Supreme Being.  May HE continue to bless us, to guide us, to protect us from harm. 

TOGETHER BRETHREN!
