SPL292 CONSTITUTION AND RECENT HISTORY,  THE BUILDING OF SAN PEDRO LODGE 292 NEW TEMPLE, THE MASONIC ACTIVITIES, MASONIC EDUCATION. 

SAN PEDRO LODGE 292, F.& A.M., WAS FIRST GIVEN DISPENSATION ON JANUARY 28,1991 AND  WAS EVENTUALLY CONSTITUTED, BY WARRANT AND CHARTER GRANTED BY THE MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND LODGE OF FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS OF THE PHILIPPINES, ON JUNE 19, 1991.  SHOWN HERE BELOW IS THE SEAL OF SPL292.

FROM 1991, YEAR OF ITS CONSTITUTION TO 2008 THE LODGE MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE, NOT HAVING ACQUIRED, AS YET, ITS OWN PERMANENT BUILDING (MASONIC TEMPLE).      

EVENTUALLY IT WAS ONLY IN THE YEAR 2008, DURING THE INCUMBENCY AND BY DECISION OF WORSHIPFUL MASTER VICENTE G. GUCE, THAT SAN PEDRO (MASONIC) LODGE  292  ACQUIRED THE LAND FOR  AND STARTED THE CONSTRUCTION OF ITS OWN MASONIC CENTER (TEMPLE) AT SILCAS SUBDIVISION, BINAN, LAGUNA (PHILIPPINES). UNDER THE WATCHFUL AND EXPERT EYES OF SAN PEDRO LODGE 292 ELDERS, THE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROCEEDED EXPEDITIOUSLY, SO MUCH THAT IT WAS MADE POSSIBLE TO HOLD  THE 19th PUBLIC INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS ON MARCH 7, 2009  IN THE NEWLY CONSTRUTED TEMPLE.

THE CEREMONY WAS ATTENDED BY A VERY LARGE    NUMBER OF MASONS FROM MANY  MASONIC   LODGES,  BY REPRESENTATIVES OF THE MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND LODGE OF FREE & ACCEPTED MASONS OF THE PHILIPPINES,     BY THE MASONIC DISTRICT R.IV-B OFFICERS,   BY FOREIGN DIGNITARIES,  PETITIONERS AND VISITORS. [SEE PICTURES IN SPL292 BLOG]       THE  NEW CENTER, IS A SPACIOUS TWO STOREY BUILDING, WITH CLASSIC MASONIC LODGE LAYOUT.  LOCATED IN    AN ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY  SUBDIVISION. SPL292 IS ACCESSIBLE THROUGH NATIONAL AND PROVINCIAL HIGHWAYS, AND FROM THE SOUTH        LUZON EXPRESSWAY   [SLEX]  SOUTHWOODS EXIT.       THE DESIGN OF SPL292 CENTER ( TEMPLE )  BUILDING [by ARCHITECT AVELINO S. LUBAG, JR., WM 2009/2010] HAS TAKEN IN DUE CONSIDERATION THE NEED TO ACCOMODATE THE MEETINGS, CEREMONIES, DEGREE WORKS AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF A GROWING NUMBER OF ATTENDING  BRETHREN, THE MASONIC LECTURES AND THE MASONIC EDUCATION OF PETITIONERS. THE LODGE HAVING EVENTUALLY BUILT ITS OWN PERMANENT BUILDING WITH EXCELLENT STANDARDS AS FAR AS FACILITIES FOR MASONIC ACTIVITIES ARE CONCERNED, HAS ATTRACTED ATTENTION, GENERATING LOT OF INTEREST WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WITH NEW PETITIONERS SIGNIFYING THEIR INTEREST AT EVERY STATED MEETING DATE, AND HAS MOTIVATED A RENEWED INTEREST IN ORGANIZING FREQUENT MEETINGS, SO MUCH THAT THERE ARE SAN PEDRO BRETHREN GATHERING AT SPL292 TEMPLE  DAILY AND LIKEWISE VISITORS, PETITIONERS AND BRETHREN FROM OTHER LODGES. THESE  MASONIC GATHERINGS ARE EVER INTELLECTUALLY STIMULATING AND THE FELLOWSHIP  LIVELY, ENJOYABLE AND HARMONIOUSLY CONDUCTED.            MEANWHILE, AS OF MARCH 2010,  INTERIOR FINISHING WORKS FOR THE BUILDING ARE STILL CONTINUING AND THE EXTERIOR ARCHITECTURAL AND PAINTING WORKS DELAYED IN 2009 BY A (VERY) RAINY SEASON HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.   CONTINUING IS  THE NEED FOR CONTRIBUTION AND DONATIONS OF FUNDS FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE TEMPLE FINISHINGS, AND THE SUPPORT OF VARIOUS MERITORIOUS MASONIC ACTIVITIES.
