Bulletin and Summon of Regular Stated Meeting January 18, 2020

Message from the East
Bro. TED BRYAN K. YU
Worshipful Master

Greetings Brethren!

Last December stated meeting, we have concluded a successful election of officers for Masonic Year 2020-2021.  To be led b our Worshipful Master-Elect, Bro. John Yasser Sanguila, I believe in his capabilities and leadership to lead the Lodge under which we are  a member of.  I wish nothing less but better success in his term and more activities for us, the members, to participate especially in our usual Charity works and Family gatherings.

I am looking forward to more conferral of degrees as well if the candidates will be admitted into our craft in their right time.  We really cannot distinguish a perfect candidate but as long as he believes in God and is righteous with good morals, we can always make good men better.

I would like to give my deepest appreciation to my officers of Masonic Year 2019-2020 and to all the members who have been part of my Masonic Journey as Master of the Lodge.  Without your help and participation, it wouldn't have been successful in any other way.  I am really thankful and blessed to have your support.

TOGETHER BRETHREN!
May the Great Architect of the Universe bless us all!!!

Bro. TED BRYAN K. YU
Worshipful Master

Greetings Brethren!

The Masonic Year 2019-2020 is almost about to end.  The holidays is also fast approaching and lined up as one of our yearly tradition is the gift giving and feeding program to the kids confined at City Hospital's wards.  This activity will be at 10:30AM this Saturday, December 21, 2019 at the City Hospital to be followed by Lunch at Sunburst Restaurant beside the establishment.

Our brothers from the appendant body, Shriners International, headed y the incumbent President and Vice-President, Noble T. Yu and Noble Alykhan Ali, respectively, are planning on teaming up with our Lodge for the gift giving.  They will be coming up with toys and exciting clown acts to cheer up the kids at the wards.  Together, as Mason, we will make a difference this coming Holiday Season and let our community feel loved through our simple gestures.

Our elections for the officers of Masonic Year 2020-2021 will also happen this stated meeting, thereby, encouraging all the members to attend and show their support.

Moreover, I will also be presenting the proposal and study to the Iligan Lodge members for the adjustment of Annual Dues to give way and gratification to our Life Members who have been members in good standing for 25 years and up.  With this action, it will may be encourage the inactive members to go back and support our lodge or entice members from other lodges to be member of our lodge too.

See you all this Stated Meeting!

TOGETHER BRETHREN!
May the Great Architect of the Universe bless us all!

Message from the East
Bro. TED BRYAN K.YU
Worshipful Master

Greetings Brethren!

Firstly, I would like to applaud Bro. John Yasser Sanguila for a job well done in conducting the stated meeting last October 2019.  My apologies to the brethren for I had important matters to attend to.

I am glad to formally invite our Brother Musa Sanguila for having been obligated as member of Iligan Masonic Lodge No. 207 last stated meeting.

Last October 24, 2019, our very own Brother Rene Tan passed away at Makati Medical Center after dauntlessly fighting cancer.  Through the efforts of the brethren, we have opened the lodge of sorrow and had planned for the 3rd  degree funeral rites for our Brother Rene Tan which happened last November 3, 2019.  we are very thankful of VW Stephen Monterroyo for leading the Funeral Rites Ceremony.

                "The day's labors done, my journey's end has come.
                                     A new guide, now lead us on.
                   The path may be the same, but this style, is his own.
               A new post, will soon pass, another mark will be reached.
                    Let us all pray, he will lead us, to an even brighter day."

Holiday Season is fast approaching, brethren.  As a customary practice in our lodge, we will be having activities like feeding program, gift giving, and charity works to share our blessings and resources to the indigent and lest fortunate.

TOGETHER BRETHREN!
May the Great Architect of the Universe bless us all!

Masonic Labor is purely a labor of love.  He who seeks to draw Masonic wages in gold or silver will be disappointed.  The wages of a Mason are in the dealings with one another; sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness, and these are the wages of a Mason.

Bro. KHALIQUZZAMAN M. MACABATO
Worshipful Master

Assalamu Alaykum!

Brethren, let me congratulate you for the overwhelming success of our Installation last February 17, 2018.  The success of our installation could not have been possible without your support.  The significant number of brethren who shared their precious time to us during that momentous event made the affair more memorable.  The noticeable presence of our Past Masters made the ceremony more meaningful.  Our sincerest thanks and gratitude to all of you for the support you have extended for the success of that very important event.  I hope that your support will continue even beyond my term.

Our deepest thanks and gratitude to the installing team : VW Musa C. Saruang, PDGL, Installing Officer; VW Arassad M. Macumbal, PDGL, Master of Ceremonies;  and, VW Saidale S. Mohamad, PDGL, Assistant Master of Ceremonies.  Our profound thanks to VW Datumanong D. Sarangani, PDGL, for his delivery of the Ancient Charges.  Indeed, the ceremony went on smoothly and solemnly with the help of your eloquent and proficient performances.

We also thank the Amaranth and DeMolay for their active support in setting up the venue for the Fellowship and rendition of surprise number.

Our sincerest thanks and gratitude also goes to  all the visiting brethren who graced that memorable event.

Brethren, we had started this Masonic Year with high hopes that we can accomplish more in achieving the goals of our Lodge.  As I mentioned in my Inaugural Speech, that we will adopt all the traditional activities of our lodge but we need to reengineer and redesign the conduct of our activities to make it more attuned to the demand of the present time.

Freemasonry had evolved into a more open society.  Numerous changes and innovations were introduced in our Ancient Craft.  Hence, it is inevitable that our Lodge should take positive steps that will lead to our success in the light of the continuing changes in our fraternal order.

In consideration of these new developments, I now ask your support to actively participate in our Lodge activities.  We assure you, my brethren, that we will have vibrant activities; i.e., one that is responsive to the needs and benefits of Freemasonry in general and of the brethren of Iligan Lodge No. 207 in particular.

Togther, brethren, let us bond together to endeavor to live up to our Motto - "Harmony is the Strength of our Lodge".

Thank you and May the GAOTU bless us all!!

Bulletin and Summon of Regular Stated Meeting (By Dispensation) April 18, 2017

Message from the East

WB ALYKHAN UMPA ALI
Worshipful Master

Brethren

First of all, let me extend my heartfelt gratitude to all brethren who supported me in the joint installation of lodges in the City of Iligan.  The installation ceremony presided by VW Stephen T. Monterroyo, PDGL as the installing Master was very impressive, assisted by WB Lester R. Salazar and WB Pat D. Noel.  The installation was also meaningful to me with the presence of the Grand Master, MW Voltaire T. Gazmin.

This month begins the journey of presiding Iligan Lodge No. 207.  I might be the shortest Master who will sit in the East with a stint of only nine (9) months, with your support we will make a difference.  We are preparing a three year development program for the lodge to ensure continuity of our works.  We will present this plan next meeting.  I am hoping that we could make a foundation to bring Iligan Lodge No. 207 the jewel of the district.

This month is also the Grand Lodge Annual Communication, April 27 - 29 at Tagaytay City.  Five brethren from Iligan Lodge No. 207 is set to attend the said event.  We urge others who have the time on this important activity of the Grand Lodge.

I wish we could do our 2017 celebration of lodge formation 42 years ago this month. However, the activity needs preparation especially it's also the Past Masters month.  We decided to move this event to May 20, 2017 to enable us to have substantial preparation.  The Worshipful Master and brethren is looking forward for the Past Masters who are in Iligan City to attend this memorable day.

Brethren your presence in our monthly meeting is a joy to me.  Please join us for a pleasant evening with the other brethren of the district.

Worshipful Master

Brethren,

As originally planned, our lodge went on with another Outreach Program as we participated in the Brigada Eskwela for our Adopted School the Doña Josefa F. Celdran Memorial School.  Assist me in thanking our younger Master Masons of the Lodge in the persons of Bro. Carl Irwin P. Garzon, Bro. John Yasser T. Sanguila, Bro. Ted Bryan K. Yu, and Bro. Lee Michael C. Caballes, who donated the 3 gallons green Roofkote paints, coco lumbers and nails, which we turned over last June 6, 2016 through the Schools representatives, Ms. Ritzel A. Rarco, Ms. Ludivina C. Cabartija, and Ms. Frustosa L. Orellano.  Thanks also to the brethren who joined me during the activity :  Bro. Alykhan U. Ali, SW; VW Jaime P. Magnetico, DGL, Bro. Ted Bryan K. Yu, JD; and, Bro. John Yasser T. Sanguila, SS.

Last June 12, 2016, our lodge, together with the other lodges under District Region 10 (ARMM & Lanao Provinces) joined in the celebration of the 118th Philippine Independence Day by participating in the civic military parade and the commemorative program at the city public plaza.  Leading the Masonic Family Delegates were our District Deputy Grand Master VW Alan U. Buenaventura and his district officers, and Ill. James T. Yu, SGIG, Orient of Lanao, A. & A.S.R.

Brethren, something to look forward to is the scheduled visitation of the Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lode of the Philippines, MW Voltaire T. Gazmin, on July 9, 2016.  His Mother Lodge is Maranaw Lodge No. 111 under our district RX-ARMM & Lanao Provinces.  There will be a District-wide Golf Tournament/ Family Fellowship (Amateur-Novato) the next day, July 10, 2016 to be held in Golf & Country Club of Iligan, Inc., Pindugangan, Iligan City.   Interested brethren may contact their lodge coordinator; for Iligan Lodge No. 207 is VW Oscar V. Badelles, JGL.   Another activity is our District Convention which is set on August 6, 2016.  A proposed Testimonial Dinner for Masons under our district who were elected for Public Office is expected during the fellowship.

Thank you and may the GAOTU bless us all!

WB Ivan Gerardo J. Banaag
Worshipful Master

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,  my heartfelt thanks for your support on our Joint Installation with the Three (3) other Lodges of Iligan City under MD RX-D & ARMM (Lanao) last January 30, 2016.  The ceremonies went smoothly, thanks to the proficient Installing Team composed of VW Stephen T.
