TO BE TRIED AND PROVEN

Beyond its activities and projects, Model Lodge was established with the ultimate goal of living the Masonic way of life.

Members of the Lodge therefore, as its name imply, are expected to subscribe to the tenets of Freemasonry and subject themselves to the regulations governing the fraternity with no exception or any precondition.

And this path to "making good men better" start at the first knock on the gates of King Solomon's Temple where those who "ask to be one" are "tried and proven".

The gates therefore must be guarded with utmost vigilance at all times by those who are worthy and qualified.

With this in mind, the first 20 members completed the Lodge's first ever course on "Capacity Enhancement of Lecturers for the Tried and Proven Meetings" that was hosted by Bro. Monico Delgado at his private lounge in Sto. Domingo, Nueva Ecija.


Four modules were discussed during the 1-day course whose main objective is to familiarize members of the Lodge on the "Tried and Proven" orientation manual for candidates and develop them into effective lecturers. 

The course started with an overview of its content and objectives followed by Bro. Ernesto Jimenez who facilitated the discussion on Module 1 (The First Meeting) and Module 2 (First Degree), Bro. Arnel Landingin who discussed the elements of Module 3 (Second Degree), and Bro. Shubert Ciencia who walked the participants through Module 4 (Third Degree) and Module 5 (Effective Teaching and Communication Strategies).




Of course, the usual refreshment and fellowship ala Model Lodge [i.e. billiards] followed which ended with a huge exclamation mark at Bro. Reynaldo Requito's residence who was celebrating his birthday.
