On June 25, 2025, the Brethren of Pres. Diosdado P. Macapagal Masonic Lodge No. 469 took part in a meaningful Brigada Eskwela activity at Valdez Elementary School, reaffirming their commitment to community service and support for education.

This partnership marks not only a moment of giving but a long-term commitment to support, nurture, and uplift the next generation. Guided by Masonic principles of charity, service, and brotherly love, the Brethren of PDPMML No. 469 are dedicated to being active partners in the development and success of the school and its students.

Through this act of unity and compassion, Pres. Diosdado P. Macapagal Masonic Lodge No. 469 continues to exemplify what it means to serve with purpose—building not just temples of stone, but temples of hope in the hearts of our youth.
