My maternal grandfather was Jose Gaerlan Aquino from San Juan. His siblings are Ines and Guadalupe. He was married to Josefa Orallo and had five children, my mother, Angelina, is the eldest. The family was massacred in Philex Mines during the Japanese retreat in 1945, only my mother, Angelina, survived. I would want to know more about my roots and get in touch with relatives. You could get in touch with me at royares5612@yahoo.com

Good morning. I am not a Gaerlan. However I stumbled upon a tomb bearing a Gaerlan name in the Cateel, Davao Oriental cementary. It was dated 1884. The tomb is well built. May I know how did a Gaerlan lived in Cateel, Davao Oriental during the last two decades of Spanish colonization here? Where were the Gaerlan’s from? Please reply to my e-mail address at Zol_PalmaGil@yahoo.com. I am interested to know.

Comment on Some Notes on Amorphous Masonic Virtual Groups by Sam

I agree Bro. Owen, but we must also recognize the fact that Grand Lodges everywhere did not underwent a uniform development. Thus, we cannot have an automatic assumption that all Grand Lodges in the world are affected by the same contemporary issues and changes, and that all will undergo a common and linear process of development. Each Grand Lodge will confront its dynamics based on its own particularity. The problems confronted by Grand Lodges in the US might not be the same problems faced by the Grand Lodge of the Philippines, India or anywhere else.

Many had experienced splits and divisions, but all still goes back to forming their own Grand Lodge systems. In my opinion regularity is still an important element of the Masonic institution as it prevents anarchy and further vulgarization of our ancient and honorable craft. In my honest opinion, reforming the Grand Lodge system is all that is needed, not its dissolution.

Well, the web isn’t going to go away, and this is ultimately an argument against Grand Lodges losing the battle over control of the message of what is Freemasonry. Unfortunately for Grand Lodges, by the time they figure out what the battle is, it is already lost. The day of the power of Grand Lodges to control the definition of who and what is a mason is over.

There is both good and bad in this, although I am certain Grand Lodges will see only bad in it. However, that doesn’t really matter. It is too late to put the cat back in the box. Freemasonry will survive. Grand Lodges did not invent Freemasonry and it was just fine before they were invented. Many might argue, and with perhaps some measure of credibility, that the future of Freemasonry will not substantially include Grand Lodges. I am neither upset about these changes, nor especially concerned. I don’t see Grand Lodges as being responsive anymore, and they are dooming themselves as a result.

If Grand Lodges wish to maintain supremacy, they’re going to have to do better than this. The old arguments about regularity and the boogey mason no longer ring true. I am not an enemy of the Grand Lodge system. There are some good reasons to maintain them. However, if they cannot recognize their weaknesses and respond to changing trends, getting back to what Masonry was really meant to be about (ie, not a giant boys club with ties to mega-charities) the future will end up being largely in the hands of what they call irregular freemasonry,
