Ltr After 2007 ANCOM

Dear VW Ben and our Brothers in Freemasonry,

Yes indeed, the GL had decided to approve all the acts of the GM YU. I do appreciate the heroic efforts of Bro Ben to dessiminate the facts on the issues at hand so that the brethren and lodges could discuss and make a decision on how their Lights will vote on the issues. If this did not happen, then i could only surmissed how GM YU was able to convince the delegates of his acts.

I read an OPEN LETTER distributed at the ANCOM on the reasons why they should support their GM. The defense rest entirely on honor and dignity of the GM, and protection of the GLP from dismemberment. The GM did defend his act after being the primodial CAUSE (the Electioneering Act in 2003 election for JGW thence the CONSEQUENCE of an Electioneering charge by Cavite Masons) the FIRST ACT. This eventually led to the vengeful act of GM YU to destabilize Cavite Masonry (the CONSEQUENCE - the DDGM Appointment);... until the formation of the IGLPI became a threatening act against the GLP; and he has to act to justify the ends.But we find his acts UNJUST.The GLP GM YU would never allow any of his acts to be disapproved. That is his nature.So by his able acts and control over the proceedings and filibustering over a captive audience, eventually the GL find GM YU's acts APPROVED WITHOUT any substantive debate.So mote it be.

Tama si Bro Rudy, keep them in the dark and feed them manure. The blind leading the blind. I have read the inuendos, the lies, the errors, the fallacious statements, the misleading statements, to convince the readers.The OPEN LETTER was UNSIGNED. What bravery to hide authorship! He did NOT even defend or define the "Clandestine mason" term and basis.So what indeed was approved? Hayaan na lang. So mote it be. No point to talk with a deaf and blind and closed mind.


On the other hand, the ELECOM , with 1 DISSENTING vote, ruled against an immorality disqualification charge against DGM Gonzales. Mabuhay kayo 1 dissenting voter, Whoever is behind this disqualification charge act, deserves to be unmasked. So mote it be.

Congratulations to MW Jaime Gonzales for his election and assumption of the Grand Oriental Chair. With his peaceful nature, may harmony return to Philippine Masonry.

Yes , Bro Ben and to those who believed in our cause, thanks a lot. IGLPI moves on, undeterred by acts of men. We will continue to practice democratic tenets which our Masonic heroes fought and died for with our separation of powers - executive to the GM, the legislative to the legislative Council of the DGM; and the Judicial powers vested on the Judicial Council chairred by the SGW. We empowered our Lodges. Our Grand Lodge is composed of the Subordinate Lodges and their members in good standing.Our Judicial Code subjects the GM and Grand Lodge or District Officers to a charge proffered by a WM with a Lodge Resolution signed by the members to such effect.Hence, for one, we have NO dictator in our Grand Lodge. Indeed we have DONE away with the NORM and INSTITUTION of DICTATORSHIP.of whatever brand or nature.We also did away with the NORM of LIES and DECEPTION as we believed in TRUTH and OPEN communication and plain dealing.

God bless you and all of us as we "SEARCH FOR THE LOST WORD" May Brotherly Love prevail and harmony bind us even with 2 Grand Lodges existing.

Bro Jim Bantolo
