Montalban Lodge 376 Engages in Strategic Consultative Meeting with Mayor Ronnie Evangelista
True liberation thrives when local leadership and civil society work in lockstep.
On the historic occasion of the 128th Philippine Independence Day, the leadership of Montalban Masonic Lodge No. 376 (Masonic District R4 Rizal) engaged in a high-level consultative meeting with Montalban Municipal Mayor Ronnie Evangelista.
The delegation was decisively led by Worshipful Master WB Ralph Cocjin, alongside Senior Warden Bro. Elmer Cabello and Junior Warden Bro. Paul Torres, who sat down with the local chief executive to review the profound impact of Freemasonry within the municipality.

The discussion went far beyond conventional pleasantries, focusing squarely on the measurable contributions of the craft to community development. Key highlights of the consultative assembly included:
Review of Civic Impact: Evaluating the lodge's ongoing charitable initiatives and grassroots programs that have quietly uplifted local families.
Strategic Scaling: Mapping out collaborative pathways to expand the reach of the Lodge's civic duties, ensuring that its tenets of relief, truth, and brotherly love pe*****te deeper into marginalized sectors.
Stronger Governance Ties: Fostering a more robust, symbiotic relationship between the municipal government and the lodge to address pressing community needs effectively.
As we celebrate 128 years of national sovereignty, Montalban Lodge 376 remains unwavering in its conviction that true freedom is preserved not just through memory, but through active, deliberate service to the community.
