Bonifacio Day is a Law-Mandated celebration of the life and works of G*t. Andres Bonifacio, a Filipino revolutionary, Freemason, and one of the most revered National Heroes. As the "Father of the Philippine Revolution" and founder of the Katipunan, Bonifacio's legacy is honored annually across the Philippines. Every year, citizens, organizations, and government officials gather to give tribute and honor him through various programs, celebrations, and wreath-laying ceremonies at his monuments and historical sites across the country.

These annual commemorations serve several crucial purposes, including educating the public about Bonifacio's significant role in igniting the armed struggle for Philippine independence and instilling a deep sense of patriotism among the current generation. The solemn rites also offer an opportunity to reflect on his ideals of unity, courage, and self-sacrifice (pag-ibig sa bayan or love for the nation), ensuring his legacy is kept alive as a leader who rose from humble beginnings to challenge oppression and secure a free future for the Philippines.

Order of DeMolay celebrates this day with the Dad Masons and the rest of the Masonic Family. Specifically in this area, the Dad Masons of Agno Masonic Lodge No. 75, Edilberto A. Tamondong Sr. Masonic Lodge No. 217 and Umingan Masonic Lodge No. 497 with both having celebrations on 2 municipalities: Tayug and Umingan. Brother Dustine Bernal, PMC of Lingayen Chapter No. 88 are also in attendance.

This day signified the heroism of every DeMolay around the Philippines through continuous honor and memory of the great works and life of Dad Andres Bonifacio.

After the long-awaited clearing of schedules of both lodges, the Bloodletting Drive was successfully commenced on November 14, 2025. The initiative came from Edilberto A. Tamondong Sr. Masonic Lodge No. 217 and Agno Masonic Lodge No. 75 in cooperation with the San Quintin Local Government Unit, the Philippine Red Cross, and with a banner proudly prepared by the DeMolays of SCC 97. The visiting dads from both lodges and Bro. Emman of Sinagbuklod Centennial Chapter assisted throughout the activity and even gave their own blood as an act of compassion and solidarity.

This meaningful undertaking not only strengthened the partnership between the lodges and their community partners but also highlighted the shared commitment to service and humanitarian efforts. The presence of brethren and DeMolays alike showcased the enduring spirit of volunteerism within the Masonic family—proving once again that when hearts unite for a cause, lives can truly be changed.

Lodge Clean-ups are one of the best yet simple and easy way to serve your Sponsoring Lodge. SCC 97 headed by Master Councilor Ervin John Palecpec and a participative petitioner helped in preserving and cleaning of the lodge. Also in line with the lodge clean-ups is the preparation of the lodge for incoming Regular Stated Meetings. For this month, Sinagbuklod Centennial Chapter No. 97 will stay at Edilberto A. Tamondong Sr. Masonic Lodge No. 217, San Nicolas, Pangasinan.

Beyond the physical work, these clean-ups also inspire a sense of unity and shared responsibility among the members. Each broom swept and chair arranged becomes a simple yet meaningful offering to the lodge we call home. It is through these collective efforts that we continue to honor our principles. Closing each activity with renewed pride, purpose, and brotherhood.

The staple in the life of every DeMolay is the annual celebration of Dad Frank S. Land's life. We are thought that he is one of the founders together with the 9 boys and together they forged a long-lasting friendship and brotherhood that spans millions of miles around the world.

Here at Sinagbuklod Centennial Chapter No. 97, we celebrate the Dad Frank S. Land Memorial Day by breaking a bread. Common tradition in our order. We drank our coffee and ate our bread in a calm place while we draw up plans for the chapter.

After our breaking the bread, we headed out to Edilberto A. Tamondong Sr. Masonic Lodge No. 217 to promote and sell our raffle tickets as our fundraiser for this term as well and that is how we end our day!

Grave visitations are the staple of the All-Soul’s Day, although it is supposed to be celebrated at November 2, most Filipinos visit the grave of their loved ones on November 1. In DeMolay, we were thought to respect sacrilegious matters. Paying respect to our departed Dad Masons is our way of showing it. To show them that they are not forgotten and lost.

We have visited atleast 10 Masonic graves that day and finding those graves, being thought about their tombstone marker, we have learned a lot about Dad Masons in the area.

We would like to thank Dad WM Franklin Miranda for his help in finding the tombs of the departed Dad Masons in Tayug and Dad WB Michael Galera for his help in the Natividad area. We found out some of these Dad Masons actually served their respective Municipalities and were also widely recognized and respected.

Oplan Undas of Sinagbuklod Centennial Chapter is a long-running project every November of every year and was initiated on Term A – 2022. The special thing about our November Juan is not only the DeMolays are simply standing posts and giving water, it’s more than that. DeMolays of SCC 97 roams around the 6th District and offers service to every person they can. Assisting people, giving water and candles, that’s what DeMolays of SCC 97 do.

November 1, 2025 was a memorable day for the DeMolays as they roamed around the 6th district and distributed candles and water and offered assistance whenever they can. Starting at Old Public Cemetery, Tayug, Pangasinan, stationed near the entrance, the brethren stood their post and offered supplies to the passersby, same at San Nicolas, Pangasinan. We would like to thank Dad WM Franklin Miranda in his assistance of our project.

For Natividad Cemetery, Dad Benedict Ramirez of Umingan Lodge No. 497 has assisted us in conducting our project; providing the section of the tent and helping with handing out candles and waters. Dads WB Michael Galera and Reynante Palecpec (Chapter Advisor) had also visited our tent and assisted us in Part 2 of our November Juan project visiting graves of the departed Dads.

At Umingan, Pangasinan, the brethren of Sinagbuklod assisted the dads of Umingan Masonic Lodge No. 497 in their Lakbay Alalay. The role of the DeMolays at Umingan is to provide assistance in conducting the project of dads by giving out the free rice porridge and free water towards the motorists and those walking around.

We would like to thank our brethren in their participation of the project. We would also like to thank our Dads for their assistance and the opportunity to serve our people. Lastly, in this section, we would also like to recognize the Dad we met on our station at Natividad Cemetery, Police Captain Dad Sherwin Cuenta of Agno Masonic Lodge No. 75.

Masonic Service is given to our Dad Masons in different ways but the most common is to either give assistance in their projects, installations or to our beloved lodge. DeMolays of Sinagbuklod Chapter’s way is to organize a lodge clean-up to give service to the dads and their lodge as it was also once affected by a typhoon that flooded the lodge up to a certain point.

Cleaning the lodge revitalizes the spirit of the building to go on and serve its purpose and the men who built it.
The brethren of Sinagbuklod Centennial Chapter No. 97 had thoroughly checked and cleaned the lodge to make sure of its cleanness and prepare the lodge for the chapter’s stated meeting the following day. The focus of the clean up was the function hall and first floor. But the second floor was also swept of dusts and the Masonic Regalias put back to their respective places.
