The Cabletow and international communities; if all of us, especially our leaders, demonstrate a little more zeal and enthusiasm to do Masonry’s inner and outer work, so that the non-Masonic public will see that we are, indeed, an organization of excellence; — then and only then will Philippine Masonry recapture its golden moments and be perceived once more as a defining influence in our country. But, dear brethren, our entire grand jurisdiction – nay, the whole world – is waiting for us to do all this. Cabletow 8 Flor R. Nicolas, PM (42) • Ang Masonerya ay dapat nasa puso at ‘di lamang nasa nguso. – ILL. ADING FERNANDO, 33º IGH The requirement of the time is for every Mason to imbibe every syllable and all the intricate polysyllables of our Masonic faith. I maintain that only those with fingertip familiarity of our touchstone tenets can save the fraternity from the wayward route. Only Masons who immensely immerse themselves in the imperishable principles of Masonry can lead and be a light to other men. And only among Masons whose hearts have been soaked in our tenets can we hope to find the resurgence of that blood that flowed in the veins of our heroes. – MW REYNATO S. PUNO, PGM, GMH We Freemasons, especially our leaders, must be soaked in the essence of Masonry and consistently exemplify its tenets and teachings in daily life, so that the non-Masonic public will see that we are good and true men precisely because we are Masons both in creed and in deed. – RW ROMEO A. YU We cannot talk about regaining our old glory unless we can silence our critics with our principles plus their practice. – MW REYNATO S. PUNO, PGM, GMH
The Cabletow As in the past issues, we revisit the events of the 4 th and last quarter of the Masonic year about to close, and then look forward to attending and participating in the Annual Communication of our Grand Lodge in Cebu City, which ushers in yet another Masonic year, which is, in turn, another golden chance for us to be of further service to the family, the Lodge, the Masonic District, the Craft, the local community, our country, and humanity for God’s greater glory. Revisiting the Last Quarter Events REVISITING THE LAST QUARTER, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW MASONIC YEAR by VW Juanito “Boy” B. Vaño, Jr. Senior Grand Lecturer February is Love Month. Hence, every Masonic District is enjoined to hold a Ladies Night in demonstration of our sincere appreciation of the continuing concern and support of our ladies (spouses, daughters, mothers, sisters, and even girlfriends) for our Masonic undertakings. If we make our ladies feel that we really need their inspiring support in order to succeed in our Masonic endeavors, all the more they will get involved. If members of our own families, as well as those of our Allied Orders, get involved in our initiatives, particularly our charity works, we ourselves wax more zealous and enthusiastic in doing Masonry’s inner and outer work. There can be no doubt that our projects will have a greater impact on the community if the members of our own families and those of our Allied Orders get involved in them. February is also when we endeavor to augment our knowledge of Masonic government through continuing to discuss the questions asked in the proficiency examinations for Lodge Lights. This endeavor is of no small significance; for if we are well acquainted with the requirements of conduct and obligations ser forth in our Masonic Law Book, we will shun the many pitfalls which may result in great embarrassment to ourselves, our Lodge, other Lodges, and most of all, our Grand Lodge. It is, therefore, imperative that we eagerly study (or continue to eargely study) the Constitution of our Grand Lodge. March is when we hold a district-wide Past Masters Night, during which we honor our Past Masters and give them the recognition due them. 9 Cabletow
