Bagumbuhay Elementary School
Feeding Project
Three (3) years ago, in a simple ceremony held at Ladislao N. Diwa Elementary School, Caridad, Cavite City, Bagong Buhay Lodge represented by the incumbent Master VW Gorgonio V. Necessario, Jr., District Grand Inspector, Masonic District No. 1 and Managing Editor of The New Life Newsletter together with other sectors of society in Cavite City signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Education, Cavite City adopting small institution Bagumbuhay Elementary School.
The “Adopt a School and Brigada Eskuwela Programs” were established by the National government. The concept of the two programs is to assist the adopted school and support the poor but deserving students in terms of beautification, improvement and development, healthiness, character building, scholarship programs, donation of learning materials, and many more.
For the past, three years the Lodge religiously assisted the Bagumbuhay Elementary School and supported its poor but deserving students.
Although the adopted school is located inside the Porta Vaga Subdivision, almost all of the students came from low income families living in the nearby squatter’s area.
It was learned from the School Principal, Mr. Efren Jeciel, younger brother of VW Teodulo Jeciel PM, Emilio Aguinaldo Memorial Lodge No. 5 that most of the students are malnourished. There were instances that the students reported to the school without having their breakfast, and some fainted while inside the lecture rooms, thus hampering the educational factors of the children.
Last February 21, 28 and March 6, 13 and 27, 2008, the brethren led by the three lights of the Lodge, WM Ricardo G. Marmolejo, SW Magno C. Herradura and JW Arnel F. Teodoro conducted feeding programs to more or less one hundred fifty (150) students of the adopted school.
The Lodge of the Modern Revolution, once again – established “War against Malnutrition”.

In connection with the forthcoming opening of new classes, this school year, the brethren coordinated with the principal Mr. Efren Jeciel, younger brother of VWB Teodulo Jeciel and laid down their projects, to wit: conduct of “Free Hair-Cut” and construction of a small gate at the northern portion of the school premises to give access to students coming from the squatter’s area. The brethren also pledge to donate school supplies to more or less 180 students from Grade I to Grade VI of the adopted school.
There were also brethren of the Lodge who in their own initiative exerted efforts by having scholars of their own in different schools in the City.
