PHILIPPINES
The Grand Lodge of the Philippines has provided additional clarification on the situation with Freemasonry in that country. Members in seven of the eighteen Lodges in the Cavite District formed Lodges with the same name, but different numbers, and formed what they call the Independent Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands, without a legitimate charter. All those members have been expelled from the Grand Lodge of the Philippines. As stated last year, the Grand Lodge of the Philippines is the only Grand Lodge in that country that meets the standards for recognition.
There is a big difference between "members in seven of the eighteen Lodges" and "seven of the eighteen member Lodges." The people from GLP who wrote, signed and provided this information knew exactly what they are feeding to the Commision. This is NOT a typo error nor gramatical oversight. This distortion of facts came from official documents of a Masonic body which billed themselves as "The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Philippines." Somebody ought to examine the real meaning of "Most Worshipful" even to this contemporary times.
