Last October 28, 2007, a Lodge of Remembrance was opened to honor and remember our departed brethren who died in the preceding year, in a solemn ceremony. It was held under the auspices of the Most Worshipful Independent Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Philippine Islands (IGLPI) and executed by the Masonic District Nr 1 under the District Grand Supervisor VW Ed Bayot, PDGL.
Paricipants came from the ranks of WMs, SWs and JWs of the District led by WM Jaoquin R Amores III of Bagong Ilaw Lodge No 6, SW Raul S Saonoy of Emilio Aguinaldo Memorial Lodge N4 5 and WM Antonio B Nepomuceno of Cavite Lodge No 2. Bagong Ilaw Lodge Nr 6 was the Lodge -in-Charge which prepared, rehearsed, and conducted the ceremonies. The Lodge of Remembrance was opened at Pintong Bato Lodge Nr 9 at Bacoor, Cavite..

This is the second time in the history of the IGLPI that a Lodge of Remembrance was opened.

A simple dinner followed. Liquor ban was imposed on the eve of Local Barangay elections.The well attended affair was graced by MW Jaime V Bantolo GM, RW Nic Ricafrente DGM, and RW Nonoy Carranza Jr SGW.
