One Hundred One

Bro. Ric Alvarez

On August 9, 2008 another feather was added to the cap of Bagong Buhay Lodge No. 4 when she celebrated its 101st Foundation Anniversary. The officers and members together with the brethren from other Member Lodges, widows and orphans, sisters, daughters and sons from appendant bodies, distinguished guests and friends of Masons in a simple but memorable event celebrated her birthday. (BBL4 anniversary is August 11 which is a working day, so the brethren decided to celebrate on August 9, 2008 Saturday).

The registration started on or about 2:00 P.M.; by 3:00 P.M. a thanksgiving mass celebrated by Rev Fr. Rizaldy G. Arnaiz, Parish Priest of St. Anthony of Padua, Philippine Independent Church was held. Followed by wreath laying at Bagong Buhay Lodge No. 4 memorial marker headed by the Master of the Lodge WM Ricardo G. Marmolejo, MW Nicolas G. Ricafrente GM, RW Manuel L. Carranza, Jr. DGM, RW Joseph A. Capuyan SGW, RW Cesar L. Go JGW and VW Aldo G. Olaguer District Grand Supervisor. Thereafter, the widows and orphans offered flowers and prayers in honor and memory of the departed brethren who dropped their working tools in the pursuit of the realization of the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. The memorial marker was constructed as a fitting recognition of the brethren’s contribution to Bagong Buhay Lodge No. 4 in particular and Masonry in general in the service of society.

The program proper was held at VWB Artemio A. Tadiar, Jr. Memorial Hall wherein WM Marmolejo welcomed the attendees, followed by inspirational speeches of VW Olaguer DGS and MW Ricafrente GM. A sumptuous dinner, fellowship and raffle ensued.
