A Future Temple in the North East

MW LEON ANGEL P. BAÑEZ, JR. MASONIC LODGE, U.D. was instituted on January 14, 2020 by MW Agapito S. Suan, Jr. It is named after the first Grand Master from Northeastern Luzon who dropped his working tools on September 4, 2018. The idea of creating a lodge in the late MW Bañez’ name was discussed informally in one of the official foreign trips of MW Suan with VW Eduardo V. Interior, a PDDGM of MD R2Cagayan and the CJGL for Overseas Lodges, along with other Grand Lodge officers. Thereafter, at the instance of VW Interior and VW Domingo J. De Asis, DDGM of MD R2-Cagayan, 29 other brethren joined them in signing a petition to form it. The lodge endeavors to build its temple building very soon. In fact, there was already a cornerstone-laying and consecration of the future temple presided by MW Suan on March 13, 2021 in Annafunan East, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. The lot was donated by VW Interior. (MPNaragJr66)
