PAGKAKAISA LODGE NO . 282

FROM THE

COUNCIL OF PAST MASTERS

WB Florendo F. Regis,PM

From:

Immediate Past Master

To the brethren of pagkakaisa lodge no. 282 on your

27th public installation ceremonies

from

MW ROBERTO Q. PAGOTAN, PGM

Grand Master 2004, f.&a.m. glphils

Page 1

Thank you for your confi-

dence of electing and

installing me as your

Worshipful Master for the

ensuing year 2014. It is a

great honor to serve and

govern Pagkakaisa Lodge

No. 282, one of the most

outstanding lodges in the

Philippine Jurisdiction.

Together with my Line of

Elected and Appointed

Officers, we will transform

the Lodge to be united

that peace, love and unity

prevailing.

We had hit a rough and rug-

ged road during the past years

caused by misunderstanding-

maybe difference in opinion

and belief, or may be too

much pride and egoism which

caused disagreement even on

petty item, an apprehension

to young masons.

However, with the help of the

Grand Architect of the Uni-

verse which we pervently seek

guidance in our doing, this will

all come to pass and a new

dawning and great under-

standing will come to Light.

We ask every one to support

the lodge vision and mission :

1) to promote brotherly ,

relief and truth;

2) to mold man from imper-

fect to perfect ashlar.

3) To teach and impart the

great doctrine that God is

the Great Architect of the

Universe

Lastly, I want each member to

help me in my quest for Unity

among the Brethren.

Thank You and Fraternal

As the purveyor of re-

freshment when we

meet, I will see to it that

the Brethren ‘s need be

meet with pleasure.

Meal suggestion is

open.

Our stewards will help

me for the proper dele-

gation to the

Brothers,

I hope that everyone

had a great time during

the 27th Public Instal-

lation Ceremonies held

on January 11, 2014.

It was a great joy to

host the celebration

with many visiting

Brethren from other

Lodges.

For the labor, WB Andy S. Ra-

mos, our Custodian for the

Work and Ritual, is giving the

enlightening tried and proven to

the petitioners prior to receiving

the degrees of masonry.

Should you have concern from

the south, don’t hesitate to

approach.

Thank you.

F RO M T H E W E S T

FROM T HE E AST

F RO M T H E S O U T H

I would like to take this oppor-

tunity, to thank the Brethren

for giving me the chance to

prove my worthiness and

dedication to the Lodge for

being elected twice last year

for the positions of Junior and

Senior Wardens.

The ANCOM will be held in

Manila this year during the

last week of April and this is

my first time as voting dele-

gate. As such, I encourage

everone to register so that

we experience the conference

on the plenary hall.

Meanwhile, we will continue

the program of Pagkakaisa

Lodge in connection with

charity, medical mission,

blood donations, lodge anni-

versaries, fellowship, family

get together, sports program,

environmental concern pro-

ject such as tree planting,

trash can donations, etc.

Thank you.

Happy Valentine to you

All.

May Brotherly Love

prevails and under-

standing be at every-

one’s heart this season

of love and caring.

May spirit of Eros , the

god of love, shines and

radiates his power of

love and understand-

ing to the Brethren of

Pagkakaisa Lodge No.

Chinese New Year 2014 Horse:

What Does Your Zodiac Animal Mean?

The Huffington Post Canada |

"Chinese horoscopes are based on the birth

years of individuals," explains Paul Ng, apro-

fessional feng shui master based in Toronto

who also gives personal life readings. Feng

shui and the Chinese zodiac both have roots

in the I Ching, the ancient Chinese text that

helps people determine lucky dates, among

other predictions.

Horse: Born in 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966,

1954, 1942, 1930, 1918

The year of the horse means there is leader-

ship associated with this sign this year, so

your authority may increase, according to Ng.

However, the impulsive behaviour of the horse

can lead to recklessness, so stay away from

gambling and speculations.

Work: Those in positions of authority will do

well, but chancy businesses, like the stock

market, are a bad idea.

Wealth: Don't expect to make a lot money, and

value the income you have.

Relationships: There won't be a lot of excite-

ment in your love life, and if you are engaged,

you might want to delay your marriage until

next year.

Health: Watch your health this year — you'll get

tired and can catch bugs easily. Make exercise

and rest a priority.

Sheep or Goat: Born in 2003, 1991, 1979

,1967, 1955, 1943, 1931, 1919

This is a "connecting" year for you, says Ng.

Take advantage of your good relationships

with other people, particularly for male sheep.

Work: Those who work in cars, analysis, public

relations, entertainment, surgery, butchery

and police work should expect to do well this

year.

Wealth: Expect stability, with a slight increase

in money this year. Simplify your investment

portfolio, advises Ng.

Relationships: You'll be quite beloved this

year, so watch out for love triangles. If you're

married, make sure to demonstrate love

toward your spouse.

Health: You are healthier this year than last,

but be careful of small accidents. Drive

carefully and take your time when working.

Monkey: Born in 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968,

1956, 1944, 1932, 1920

It's important for the monkey to spread them-

selves around in order to gain success this

year, says Ng, either travelling or moving.

Work: Industries that are good for the monkey

to work in include sales and marketing, law,

education, travel and the financial world —

things based around movement.

Wealth: Money is looking good for monkeys,

with the potential for promotions and invest-

ments reaping rewards.

Relationships: If you're single, this won't be a

great year for you, but those who are married

can feel confident in the endurance of their

union.

Health: Your overall health is good. Be careful of

accidents such as from driving.

Rooster: Born in 2005, 1993, 1981, 1969,

1957, 1945, 1933, 1921

This is gearing up to be a big year for roosters,

according to Ng. There are many opportunities

for your work or business, but your personal

relationships might be volatile. Rely on your

friends for help.

Work: You do better outside an office than

inside, in jobs like police work, the law and

politics.

Wealth: Be careful with your money this year —

don't gamble.

Relationships: There's a lot of love headed your

way, but watch out for fights in your relation-

ships. Take a step before continuing to argue,

or they could end.

Health: Small accidents could be an issue for

you, and pay attention to your heart and lungs.

Dog: Born in 2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958,

1946, 1934, 1922

This should be a lucky year for dogs, notes Ng.

Everything from work and investments to

relationships are on the upswing.

Work: Work within your natural creativity in the

arts, music, architecture or writing. Even the

stage is great for you.

Wealth: Use instincts, rather than logic, when

making investments — it will help keep your

money stable.

Relationships: Consider proposing if you haven't

already, and if you are married, demonstrate

more love toward your spouse. Be humble when

interacting with others.

Health: Enjoy your good health, but watch out

for overeating.

Boar or Pig: Born in 2007, 1995, 1983, 1971,

1959, 1947, 1935, 1923

Get ready for a great year, says Ng — you'll

make friends, have breakthroughs in business

and be surrounded by help. However, this all will

need some effort at the beginning.

Work: Great industries for you include meta-

physics, religion, public relations, human

resources, media and politics.

Wealth: Money will be stable for you this year,

but don't gamble or invest in speculative mar-

kets.

Relationships: Nothing exciting, but nothing bad

here either, as your relationships stay flat but

stable.

Health: You will feel much better than last year,

and even if you get sick, you'll recover quickly.

Rat: Born in 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960,

1948, 1936, 1924

The rat is in opposition this year, so this could

mean losing some money this year. However,

the rat sign is generally lucky, which can help

keep you out of trouble.

Work: Show business is great for you, including

things like pageants and the arts. Be sure to

stay away from gambling.

Wealth: Ng holds to the old saying, "If you are

not greedy, you will not lose money."

Relationships: Try to be quiet and patient this

year, as otherwise, many of your relationships

will consist of arguing.

Health: Areas of the body to watch for include

the lungs, kidney and waist. Get lots of exercise

and rest.

Ox: Born in 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949,

1937, 1925

The ox is in conflict with the horse, which could mean

arguments with other people this year, says Ng.

However, the ox is a sign of authority, potentially

signifying promotions.

Work: Good environments include politics, the army

or police work, where a promotion might be waiting

for you. But watch out for enemies.

Wealth: Don't expect a lot of money, but your income

is proportional to your authority level.

Relationships: There isn't a lot of romance expected

for you this year. Be patient with the people in your

life.

Health: Your health is fine, just watch out for small

accidents.

Tiger: Born in 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962,

1950, 1938, 1926

This should be a good year for tigers, according to

Ng. It could bring luck, joy, romance, spirituality and

learning opportunities.

Work: You do well in business that have to do with

blood, such as surgery and the army, as well as

teaching and philosophy. If you are self-employed,

expand your business.

Wealth: This should be a year of stability for your

money.

Relationships: Romance is in the stars. If the oppor-

tunity is there, consider marriage. If you're married,

watch out for temptations from extramarital affairs.

Health: Watch out for sharp objects, and be careful

of accidents and bleeding.

Rabbit: Born 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951,

1939, 1927

This will be a year of romance and controversy, with

lots of happiness everywhere for rabbits. Just be

careful about your non-romantic relationships with

others.

Work: Entertainment, speaking and sales roles all

suit you — mental work is better for you than physi-

cal.

Wealth: This year, the more you work, the more you

make.

Relationships: Romantic entanglements await, but

watch out for love triangles.

Health: There's a mild concern about sharp objects.

Dragon: Born in 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964,

1952, 1940, 1928

This should be a good year for dragons, as horses

and dragons together have great energy. Health and

wealth abound.

Work: Working with both blood (surgery, butchery,

soldiers) as well as spirituality (philosopher, priest)

are in your favour.

Wealth: You would do well in travel or trading busi-

nesses. Invest based on your intuition.

Relationships: It does not look like a particularly

romantic year for dragons.

Health: You have a general tendency to get into

accidents, but other than that, you'll be very health.

Snake: Born in 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965,

1953, 1941, 1929

Last year was a year of conflict for the snake, says

Ng, so this year is a money year.

Work: Keeping in line with your money year, busi-

nesses that are good for you include finance and the

stock market. Entertainment can also work for you.

Wealth: Bring in the dollars! Both your regular and

speculative incomes are looking good.

Relationships: Think about marriage, if you haven't

already. And be sure to express love toward your

spouse if you're already hitched.

Health: Keep your immune system boosted, as you'll

be prone to colds and the flu. Exercise and rest

plenty.

working tools, automatically, an

amount of One Thousand Pesos

P1, 000.00 will be contributed by

each member to the family of a

This Masonic Charity was applied

when our VW Bro. Loreto Villanue-

the family was very thankful to our

Lodge. It is not only for financial

reason but the Love and Care of

the brethren that was shown to

the family before and after his

death.

MYSTIC CORNER Bro. Herbert P. Quimpo, PM, CDGL

CHARITY

In the first degree, we are told to

practice Charity as mentioned

below:

“The form of a lodge is oblong.

It extends from east to west and

from north to south, and is said

to be thus extensive to denote

the universality of Masonry, and

to teach us that a Mason’s char-

ity should be equally extensive,

for in every country and in every

clime are masons to be found.”

And

“The covering of a lodge is no

less than the clouded canopy or

star decked heaven, where all

good Masons hope at last to

arrive by aid of that theological

ladder which Jacob in his vision

saw reaching from earth to

heaven. The three principle

rounds of which are Faith, Hope

and Charity,

which admonish us to have

Faith in G-d, Hope of immortali-

ty, and charity for all mankind.

The greatest of these is Charity, for

our Faith may be lost in sight, hope

ends in fruition, but charity extends

beyond the grave, through the bound-

less realm of eternity.”

In our Monitor, in fact, we are told

during the perambulation of the sec-

ond degree:

“…and now abideth, Faith, Hope and

Charity, these three: but the greatest

of these is Charity”

The most common concept of charity

is giving, either time, money, or in

kind. However, there is a more im-

portant function of charity: To have a

benevolent goodwill or love of humani-

ty (brotherly love) and to be lenient in

judgment of others.

We as Freemasons practice brotherly

love and charity but some focus on the

charity of giving but not on the charity

of loving. Could it be because reach-

ing into your pocket for some ones is

easier than stretching your heart?

To me, charity doesn’t mean giving

money or services, charity means hav-

ing a charitable HEART. By this, we

should be willing to see the best in our

brethren, to cast the best light on their

actions, to see them in the most posi-

tive light, to hear their words in the

most positive light, in the most CHARI-

TABLE light. Because this is the Light

of Truth and Wisdom, that will lead us

to Spirituality.

One of the best charity that we have

implemented in our Lodge is the

Lodge Resolution which was authored,

presented and moved by yours truly in

the stated meeting and approved by
