The Order of DeMolay 1919-2006
This week marks the 87th year of the International Order of DeMolay since its Annos Ordinis. This week also marks the 692nd death anniversary of the Last Grand Master of the Knights Templars, Jacques DeMolay, our hero and martyr whose name we have taken into our lips.
Millions of young men from all walks of life all over the world have become members of the Order since its founding in 1919. Many DeMolays became prominent in their fields of endeavor, like Walt Disney, John Wayne, John Steinbeck, Mel Blanc and Former US President Bill Clinton to mention a few. The Order of DeMolay was founded by Dad Frank Sherman Land, a prominent Mason in Kansas City, Missouri. Since its foundation, the Order is kept under the guardianship of the world’s most ancient and noble fraternity, Freemasonry.The Order of DeMolay is the main youth organization of the universal Masonic fraternity.
The Philippines takes pride in being the first to establish a DeMolay Chapter in Asia, the Jose Abad Santos Chapter which was established in March 23, 1946. Today there are more than 70 DeMolay Chapters scattered all over the country existing under the auspicies of the Supreme Council of the Order of DeMolay of the Republic of the Philippines. Philippine DeMolay has also its share of members excelling in their chosen fields like the award winning film directors Joel Lamangan and Ben Cervantes, Mayors Jejomar Binay and Nepthali Gonzales Jr, Eli Buendia of the erstwhile Eraserheads, Luke Mejares of the South Border Band, etc.
This year also marks my 25th year as member of the Order of DeMolay. Since my initiation to the Order until now I have always enjoyed the comradeship of my brethren. I consider it a unique privilege to be counted as one among the million of men around the world who have knelt before the altar of everlasting fellowship, beheld our martyr’s trial, took his name sacred and proudly proclaims, “I am a DeMolay”.
To my Brethren in the Order of DeMolay, my stp o grs, sgn o wcm, tkn o btd n wrd o emn,DeMolay! Happy 87th Anniversary!!!
Our Order had endured the test of time and thirteen years more, we will be celebrating our Centennial!
Let your light so shine before Man that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven
GREETINGS TO ALL!
I know dad jess very much. he is our Chapter Dad at the present time.
and definitely one of the Feliciano Iñigo DeMolay Pride.
a dedicated family man, a brilliant lawyer, a very supportive dad mason
and most probably one of the most proficient DeMolay in our chapter.
about bro. Carlos, im so sorry if you had a not so fortunate experience in our chapter.
but I tell you. The Feliciano Iñigo Chapter DeMolay Davao City Philippines will always keep the 7 candles burning and will always remain as a beacon of the south. I have nothing against of your catastropic experience because you are my brother. instead I would like to say that its “ok” atleast you became a brother DeMolay. I know that is something you are proud of. I know you are older than me. maybe you are one of the Batch 90′s in DeMolay FIC. in my case Im one of the Batch 2k’s. specifically batch “soloflight” first term of 2005. And ever since I am very proud to be a member of the DeMolay Order. and continuing to do GOOD and to be BETTER.
just like dad Sam and dad Jess said: “THINK TWICE BEFORE ACTING ONES”
I hope in seeing you personally with dad jess and talk about the matter.
fraternally yours,
Kevin Alojado De Asis
Feliciano Iñigo Chapter, Davao City 8000
note: i was just surfing the net till i bumped to this blog of dad Sam. hehe! AYOS!ü
please support FIC because we are planning to hold the 2008-2009 conclave.
oopss. i think mali ata ako. hehe! c bro. Jesus Iñigo pla yan not dad Jess Espejo. i over read it. sorry bro! hehe.
but I will not take back what i said about being a proficient DeMolay!!!!
because bro. Jesus Iñigo so to speak is one of my inspirations in internalizing the ceremony of the rose a.k.a “flower talk”. i was newly conferred that time when he visited us and delivered the flower talk during our stated meeting. It was so solemn and devout. since then i started memorizing the ceremony until I was so good at it. and was given the opportunity to have it delivered to the lodges in Davao Masonic Center and its appendant bodies. and now I’m the one who is teaching it already to the new batches.=)
again bro. sorry. long time no see nga pala you may not know me by face im but sure when we get to see each other i’ll approach you first. tnx
Chandler,

Brethren, I’m a brother from Mt. Asog Chapter, Iriga City, Camarines Sur, Region V. I’ve read some of the comments here and it is really surprising and amazing to know that there are people interested of our Order despite of our being “low profile” in terms of popularity here in the Philippines. Sino ba mas sikat? E d ung magugulo, mayabang, at walang ibang alam kundi pumorma pero wala naman pala. Ilan na ba mga grupo ngayon na nabuo sa inuman at sa kanto-kanto lang? Anyway, wala naman akong kaaway. I’m just stating an observable reality. Mas ok nga ung low profile lang para mysterious. It gives them the creeps especially when they see young men in black robes.
Hope our Order can be as old as civilization. Preserve the DeMolay prestige.
Never mind the bollocks. Wag nyo na lang pansinin ung mga taong sinisiraan tayo na kesyo daw anti-christ, hindi sikat, walang binatbat sa gulo, etc. I don’t want to conclude or make any hasty judgment ’cause it’s against our obligation as DeMolays but these accusations, call it that way, are blessings in disguise kasi lagi tayo nasa intriga, parang showbiz, “talk of the town” kung baga.
Anyway, hope to meet you all in a DeMolay affair or maybe somewhere. Mabuhay kayo mga Molay!
@Christian you can ask around for any demolay in Tacloban City or better yet try to seek out the masonic temple in your area or any master mason that you know to help you with your inquiry. Thanks and Have a nice day…
Sir Joji Bulawin, thanks po. eh kaso lang wala ako kilala d2 sa tacloban na demolay member..
to all the brods and sis,
while browsing i found this site well im a senior DeMolay and ive been a member since 1992. 2 thumbs up for the thread starter and im expressing all the appreciation to all of the brothers and sisters that shows there warm commitment towards the order… im at singapore right now looking for an opportunity well regards and more power to all of you…
oh i forgot im a brother from Mt. Musuan Chapter Zosimo Montemayor Lodge… sorry for spamming…
to christian pala madali lang mahanap ang masonic temples since almost all towns in the philippines have 1… pag di mo pa rin mahanap search mo sa google and masonic temples ng philippines and makkta mo ang listahan ng masonice temples sa buong pinas.. thanks for the interest….
Im really looking forward to being a DeMolay soon. My Dad is a mason, and i want to keep the Masonic fire burning in our family. Truly, it will be a great honor for me and my family.
Wish me luck!
Long live The International Order of DeMolay!
Needed pa po ba ang Referral ng ibang members for me to join?..

Greetings brethren!
I am proud to inform you that the Lope K. Santos Chapter of the International Order of DeMolay, sponsored by the Ang Tipolo Lodge No. 334, will host the CONCLAVE 2009.
This momentous event will be held at the famous and spectacular Club Manila East Resort located at Km 24, Manila East Road, Taytay, Rizal on May 21-23, 2009. The CONCLAVE of DeMolays is equivalent to the ANCOM of Master Masons.
In this regard, I am appealing to the generosity of the lodges, local or foreign, to support our sons and future Masons and leaders. One of these days, a DeMolay will knock on your lodge to seek support for their upcoming convention.
Your help could either be by shouldering the registration of delegates or by availing a page in our souvenir program. [Attached herewith is the solicitation letter.]
Let us support the DeMolays and join us enjoy the summer sun at Club Manila East!
Fraternally yours,
Dad Barney Frederick S. Gomez

to Denver Cayaga,
“2B1 /G\ ASK1″ means “TO BE ONE, ASK ONE” it’s not that easy to be a Mason, there are many questions you need to answer before you know your fit to be a Mason. Just ask yourself first “Why should I become a FREEMASON?”. Here’s my advice, think first, because what you are ENTERING is not just an Organization, but PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION.
