DISTRICT GOES DRR

It's the season for typhoons.

And Nueva Ecija, one of the Philippines' most vulnerable provinces, is right on the typhoon belt.

As such, Masonic District RIII-D conducted an orientation on disaster risk reduction (DRR) for all its subordinate Lodges.

Lodge Master Bro. Sergio R. Francisco and Past Master Bro. Anacleto C. Fernandez attended on behalf of Model Lodge.

After all, its better to be prepared than get caught with the pants down. 

TAKBO PARA SA BAHAY NI KUYA II

Model Lodge is grateful to all those who supported and attended the second edition of its Fun Run project that was held at Central Luzon State University which helped raised funds for the continuing construction of its Masonic temple.

Warming up.

Let's run! 

Takbo, mga Kuyang, takbo!

After the Fun Run.

MODEL LODGE HOST NEW DDGM

District Deputy Grand Master Bro. Ramiro Cruz (above) was received and given grand honors during his visit to Model Lodge. He was accompanied by his District Grand Lecturers and Bro. Julius Bisaya (below, with purple tassles) who is the assigned Grand Lodge Inspector of Model Lodge.

WE ARE THE DISTRICT'S OUTSTANDING LODGE!

As expected, Model Lodge was recognized as Masonic District RIII-D's Outstanding Lodge and its immediate past Master, Bro. Marionito L. Mercado who was earlier recognized as one of the Grand Lodge of the Philippines' outstanding Master, as the District's Outstanding Master.

Another past Master of the Lodge, Bro. Manolo M. Mercado, was also recognized as an Outstanding Grand Lodge Inspector.

The recognition came during the District turn-over ceremonies that was attended by Grand Master Bro. Santiago Gabionza where outgoing District Deputy Grand Master Mariolito Carlos handed the symbol of authority to incoming District Deputy Grand Master Bro. Ramiro Cruz.

In the same turn-over ceremonies, Brother Marionito was also installed as the Grand Lodge Inspector assigned to Pantabangan-Bonari Lodge No. 203.
