This Lodge was organized by 14 Master Masons, upon the
request, Grand Master Quintin Paredes issued a DISPENSATION
on February 11, 1922, authorizing them to organize a new
Lodge in Manila to be named Taga-Ilog. Afterwhich, the
Grand Lodge of
the Philippines granted a CHARTER to Taga-Ilog Lodge No.
79 on January 24, 1923.
On
Febraury 21, Junior Grand Warden, Francisco A. Delgado,
on authority of the Grand Master, convened a special Communication
of the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands at the Solomon
Temple in Bilbao St., in Tondo Manila for the purpose
of constituting Taga-Ilog Lodge No. 79 and installing
it's officers. Installed as the principal officers were
MASTER: Domingo C. Torres, SW: Carlos F. Maglaya, JW:
Felixberto Soriano, and SECRETARY: Eduardo Martinez. The
ceremonies were public and attendance was far in excess
of the capacity of the building. After the ceremonies,
a reception and dance was held on the first floor of Salomon
Temple elaborately decorated for the occassion.
Taga-Ilog
in it's early years registered a slow but steady growth.
By the end of 1922, it's membership went up to 29. In
1923, it was 31, 35 in 1924 and 42 in 1927. Proficiency
in the ritual was also gradually achieved. The founders
of the Lodge were unfamiliar with the rituals in english,
so with the permission of the Grand Lodge, the spanish
ritual was used in their meetings and degree works. After
a few years however, they were able to form a special
english team composed of Clemente Bernabe, David L. Guevara,
Vicente Santos, Pelagio Herrmosura and Ricardo Robles.
On November 8,1924. The steady growth of Taga-Ilog Lodge
was arrested in the 1930's when the economic depression
in the United States dragged down the Philippine economy
as well. Many Masons in the Philippines lost their jobs,
some even their fortunes. They could not pay their dues
and shed away from their Lodges. Taga-Ilog Lodge also
lost members and had a depleted treasury. Membership also
declined, very few knocked on the doors of Taga-Ilog.
Then
came the 2nd world war which forced the Lodge to temporarily
close down. Taga-Ilog was reopened after the end of the
conflict. Fortunately, three dynamic Masons assumed the
leadership of the Lodge, Clemente Bernabe, Sesenio Rivera
and Jose Curameng, with the help of new active members,
they injected vigor into the Lodge and made it one of
the most active in Manila.
Today
the Legacy of these three Great Leaders lives on. The
present leadership is now following in their footsteps
and the future augurs well for Taga-Ilog
Lodge No. 79.
