The IGLPI is now granted a juridical personality as a Corporation. In so far as the laws of the country is concerned, the IGLPI exist as a legal, and lawfully formed or created organization.

The IGLPI authorizes and encourage its Lodges to incorporate and be registered in the Securities and Exchange Commission. It respects the Lodges and their ownership of their properties, their funds, their temples, their lands. It does not compel the Lodges to place their properties in the name of their Grand Lodge nor hold them in trust for their Grand Lodge.

The IGLPI respects the power and empowerment of the Lodges. It exist to serve the Lodges. It does not seek to be a ruling absolute monarch over the Lodges, their temples, their properties, their funds, their lands, their members or even their future, It does not even intend to hold proprietary rights over their Lodge names.
