Brother Edmund Burke (1729-1797) of Jerusalem Lodge No. 4, London, a staunch supporter of American Colonies, advocates anti-slavery among other things, once said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."In Brother Ric Alvares of Bagong Buhay Lodge No. 4 aptly titled article, “A Cry for Justice,” the lack of progress in solving the assassination of Brother Bishop Alberto Ramento (1936-2006) is not unforeseen.
Reading our late Brother Bishop Alberto Ramento membership and affiliation, one would not doubt the highly charged ground he threaded on. The very same reasons of his character bear the testimony of this long list of type of undertaking he was involved. Our Brother stood up for what he believed--- an act worthy of emulation contrast to many excuses we often heard about fighting corruption.
Once upon a time our Craft made a difference; once upon a time our Craft were composed of ordinary men and did extraordinary effort under extraordinary circumstances. They are not perfect and so was the result nevertheless, the Filipino people inherited a Nation.
Brother Bishop Alberto Ramento was an answer to Brother Edmund Burke statement, the kind of Filipino Mason Mr. Rodel Ramos was wondering about and the example to not only to Juan dela Cruz but most importantly to all Filipino Masons regardless of affiliation and jurisdictions. The kind of Mason we wanted to be.
