My congratulations to the Brethren of Bagong Buhay Lodge. May you have another centennial years and the continued resolve to do what you collectively believe in regardless of what non-Bagong BuhayLodge members may thought of. I applaud your conviction for picking and standing a ground instead like many others that sit by the fence and watch the world goes by and then asked, "What happened?"
You and the Brethren of IGLPI elucidated that the status quo is not acceptable, that blind obedience to seemingly dictatorial way of governance is basically unMasonic character, that Freemasonry is not about parroting flowery rituals and pompous ceremonies. It is about understanding the ideals, taking actions and accepting the consequences. By making things happen, you and many others were branded "clandestine Masons" by those who should know better.
I salute you for proudly wearing the blue badge of courage. May someday the true meaning of "Brotherly Love prevail among Masons forever."
