The Masons of the Gran Logia Soberana del Archipielago Filipino led by the MRGM Felipe L. Navarro Jr. and the Supremo Consejo del Grado 33, R∴E∴A∴yA∴ del Gran Oriente de Filipinas join the nation in commemorating the 154th Birth Anniversary of the 1st President of the Philippine Republic and Hermano Emilio “Colon” Aguinaldo.
Hermano Aguinaldo later declared, and I quote: “The successful Revolution of 1896 was Masonically inspired, Masonically led, and Masonically executed. And I venture to say that the first Philippine Republic, of which I was its humble president, was an achievement we owe largely, to Masonry and the Masons.”
