About us

The Masonic lodge in the province of Catanduanes, Bicol Region was conceived by three transient Freemasons: VW Jesse B. Amihan of Isarog Lodge No. 33 who was then the Provincial Director of the Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources, Bro. Albverto Escultura who was then the incumbent Junior Warden of Bulusan Lodge No. 38 and at that time was the Provincial Commander of the Catanduanes Philippine Constabulary (now Philippine National Police) and Bro. Amador Sabado, a member of Malindang Lodge No. 130, Ozamis City, who has retired in Virac. Twenty Seven Brethren from Albay, Camarines and Sorsogon took the boat to Virac on September 30, 1989 to signify support. The lodge was granted dispensation on October 23, 1989 by MW Juan C. Nabong and was eventually constituted on June 16, 1990 by MW John L. Choa. With the untiring efforts of the three organizers, ten original petitioners saw the Light in the new Lodge, namely; Ariston Sarmiento, Luis Vargas, Roberto Rodulfo, Ariel Galarosa, Romeo Caraan, Napoleon Velasco, Leo Molina, Alexander Caning, Benjamin Suratos and Rene de Larrazabal.

Our stated meeting is on the 4th Saturday of the month at 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon at the Masonic Temple, Virac, Catanduanes.
