Initiation of Entered Apprentice Masons

On September 13, 2025, Makahambus Masonic Lodge No. 315, welcomed three worthy applicants into the fraternity during a solemn and meaningful initiation ceremony at the Shanker Lalwani Masonic Temple, Cagayan de Oro City. In the presence of the brethren, they took the Entered Apprentice Mason Obligation and Oath, pledging to uphold the moral and spiritual tenets of the Craft.

Under the guidance of Worshipful Master Aldrich Uayan and the officers of the Lodge, the candidates were duly prepared and conducted through the rituals, lectures, and symbolic gestures that mark the First Degree of Masonry. In doing so, they bound themselves to the enduring principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth—cornerstones of Masonic life.

This occasion served not only as their formal introduction to the rich traditions and teachings of Masonry, but also as a stirring reminder to all present of the light that Freemasonry seeks to preserve: a light that calls every Mason to brotherhood, moral uprightness, and the lifelong pursuit of truth.
