Brethren:

Last July 30, 2016, our Lodge participated in the IMES District Ritual Olympics together with the rest of the lodges under MD RX & ARMM Lanao Provinces.  Thanks to the team of Judge Valerio V. Rovira Lodge No. 259 under WB Reynaldo O. Mancia who filled-up the vacant positions since most of our Elected/Appointed members at that time were not around to attend an equally important activities.  Special mention to Bro. Carl Irwin P. Garzon, our Senior Deacon who performed his part almost perfectly & following our new blue monitor.  Declared winners were JJVR Lodge No. 259 for the Opening Rituals & Radjah Indarapatra Lodge No. 387 for the closing.  My Congratulations to the winning teams.

Worshipful Master

Brethren,

Last July 4, 2016 we carried-out our yearly tradition of Sister Lodge visitation when we went to attend the stated meeting of Leonardo T. Pañares Lodge No. 220 in Cagayan de Oro City.  A very warm welcome were accorded us by WB Reuben Omar S. Plaza, Worshipful Master, & the rest of the members.  Dignitaries received includes RW Agapito S. Suan, Jr., JGW & our very own VW Oscar V. Badelles, JGL for Northern Mindanao.  The fellowship was held in Philtown Hotel & Oriental Garden Restaurant.  I would like to thank the brethren who accompanied me during the visit:  Bro. Alykhan U. Ali, SW, VW Jaime P. Magnetico, DGL, who was also the Masonic Education Speaker, & VW James T. Yu, PDDGM who provided us his vehicle.

Our District MD RX & ARMM Lanao Provinces were occupied with activities last weekend.  We had a Testimonial Dinner in honor of MW Voltaire T. Gazmin, Grand Master of Masons in the Jurisdiction of the Philippines held in Elena Tower Inn on July 9.  A Testimonial Toast was given by VW Warlito M. Sanguila, PDDGM before the Grand Master delivered his message.  Earlier in the afternoon, VW V.T. Gazmin attended Maranaw Lodge No. 111's stated meeting, his Mother Lodge.  Significance of the meeting aside from the Grand Master's presence was the signing of the District Sisterhood between our District RX & ARMM Lanao Provinces represented by VW Alan U. Buenaventura our DDGM & MD RVII (Cebu, Bohol & Siquijor) represented by their DDGM, VW Douglas S. Tan.  There were at least 40 brethren from the sister district who attended.

The next day, July 10, was the District-wide Golf Tournament/Family Fellowship (Amateur/Novato) held in Golf & Country Club of Iligan, Inc., Pindugangan, Iligan City.  Our lodge were represented mostly by seasoned players & special mention to Bro. John Yasser T. Sanguila who played under the Novato level.  The 2-day activity were covered by no other than WB Pat D. Noel, our immediate Past Master who take-charge of the documentation.  Our Lodge was assigned to chair the Transportation Committee, thanks to the following who assisted me & provided not only their vehicles but also their time that somehow the task given to us was handled smoothly, they were from Maranaw Lodge No. 111, VW Alan U. Buenaventura, DDGM, Bro. Jerome C. Cañete, SW, Bro. Clealan A. Catipay, JD., & Bro. Aitor E. Gonzales.  VW Samuel "Tatay" Huertas of Mantical Lodge No. 243.  From our lodge were Bro. Alykhan U. Ali, SW, VW James T. Yu, PDDGM, & Bro. Ted Bryan K. Yu, JD.

Thank you & May the GAOTU bless us all!

Thank you and may the GAOTU bless us all!

Brethren :

Before we left for the 100th AnCom 2016 on April 28-30, 2016, our lodge donated the amount of Three Thousand Pesos (P3,000.00) for the two (2) Football Teams composed of thirteen (13) kids ages 12-13; and, thirteen (13) ages 14-16 years old from the Municipalities of Kolambugan, Kauswagan, Linamon & Poona Piagapo, LDN and Iligan City, who will join the Football for Peace Festival 2016 to be held at Navy Football Field, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City on April 23 to May 2, 2016.  This is a project of the 15th Infantry (Molave Warrior) Battalion in its effort to empower the kids of Lanao del Norte whose objectives are 1) to develop sportsmanship and encourage team work that will eventually help them resolve dispute in a peaceful manner, 2) to draw their attention away from conflict, 3) to encourage them to work harder and prevent them from being recruited by the lawless elements, and 4) to pursue their dreams by learning good values to create a significant change for a better future.  The teams from Lanao del Norte will be competing with teams from other conflict affected areas.  Our assistance will help defray the expenses during the educational tour and football festival.  I would like to thank the brethren who contributed for the amount.

Going now to the 100th AnCom held in Taal Vista Hotel and Tagaytay International Convention Center, Tagaytay City, my congratulations to our newly installed Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Ldoge of the Philippines, MW Voltaire T. Gazmin of Maranao Lodge No. 111 in our district RX-ARMM & Lanao Provinces. Elected as Junior Grand Warden  is RW Agapito Suan,Jr. of Macajalar Lodge No. 184.  Our very own VW Oscar V. Badelles was appointed Junior Grand Lecturer for Northern Mindanao.  Thanks to SW Alykhan U. Ali, JW Khaliquzzaman M. Macabato, WB Pat D. Noel, WB Jaime P. Magnetico, WB Roger Nuñeza, Bro Ian Justin P. Sagario, VW James T. Yu, VW Oscar V. Badelles, and Bro. Ted Bryan K. Yu who attended the convention.  Special thanks to Bro.Alykhan Ali, Bro Ian Sagario who arranged for our accommodations and who provided their personal cars together with VW James T. Yu for the transportation.

Our District RX-ARMM & Lanao Provinces Turn-Over Ceremony was held last May 14, 2016 during the Maranaw Lodge No. 111 stated meeting at UDLMC, Iligan City.  Congratulations to our newly installed district officers :

        VW Alan U. Buenaventura, DDGM
        VW Paniares U. Adap, DGL
        VW Arassad M. Macumbal, DGL
        VW Jaime P. Magnetico, DGL

For the month of May, hopefully we can push thru with another Outreach program which is to participate in the Brigada Eskwela for our Adopted School, the Doña Josefa F. Celdran Memorial School.  Calling the brethren who may contribute their time, effort and resources for the cause in ensuring that schools facilities are available and ready in time for the coming school opening.

May the GAOTU bless us all!

Brethren:

Brethren, as originally planned, we are supposed to have our 1st Feeding Program this March for the students of our adopted school, the Doña Josefa F. Celdran Memorial School, but after our visit with the Principal, we realized that a more appropriate activity will be the giving of awards for academic excellence, thus we decided to divert the budget to purchase 24 Medals (8 Gold, 8 Silver, & 8 Bronze), the number needed for Grades 1 to 6 Honor Students.  I encourage you to be present during the Turn-Over of the said medals.  Final date will be announce soon.

Special thanks to our senior warden, Bro. Alykhan U. Ali for his time to accompany me all three times we visited our adopted school and facilitated the purchase and preparation of the medals.

Last February 20, 2016, before our stated meeting, the Brethren labored for the Raising of another new member, help me welcome again the youngest Master Mason of our lodge in the person of Bro. Lee Michael C. Caballes.  My sincerest thanks to all the members of the conferral team.

To all interested Brethren, Ancom 2016 will be on April 28 to 30, Taal Vista Hotel, Tagaytay City.  You may register online at www.ancom2016.org or for questions or inquiries, you can email contact@ancom2016.org.  Our Brother Marshal Ian Justin Sagario already reserved a place for our accommodation.

Again, Thank you & May the GAOTU bless us all!

MESSAGE FROM THE EAST

WB Pat D. Noel
Worshipful Master

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Brethren, let us give thanks to the Great Architect of the   Universe for giving us a beginning of a new season, a new hope, and a new inspiration!  Let me also thank everyone who gave their support and made their presence felt during the District Family Day held at Blue Jay, Linamon, Lanao del Norte.  The whole event was quite successful!  Thanks to the district officers led by VW Ian Uy and to VW Jing Rahon, VW Allan Buenaventura, VW Romulo Tapia for giving us such a wonderful year!  The children had so much fun, especially during the time of the Magician!  From the kids to the young at heart, really enjoyed it.

Let me congratulate our incoming Worshipful Master, WB elect Ivan J. Banaag, our SW elect Bro. Alykhan U. Ali and our JW elect Bro. Khaliquzzaman Macabato.  Thanks to our     Secretary elect, VW Warlito M. Sanguila for his invaluable support during my term, to our Treasurer elect, WB Jaime P. Magnetico for really being patient with me. All were   unanimously elected during our stated meeting last December 2015. And to  the appointed officers, congratulations.

This will be my last stated meeting as your Worshipful Master, and I would sincerely take this opportunity to thank each and everyone for the support.  May the GAOTU continue to bless all of us, always!

TOGETHER BRETHREN!
