Welcome to the Official website of Jacques DeMolay Memorial Lodge No.305 F.& A.M., a Masonic Lodge under the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Philippines and a member of Masonic District NCR-A.
For my JDML 305 Brethren, our attempt at bringing our lodge to cyberspace is part of our efforts to centralize and manage our knowledge and information system. We envision our home in cyberspace to serve as our on-line office. It will provide a bulletin board of JDML 305's past and incoming events and activities. It will also provide a section for members to access and view pertinent Lodge files in an exclusive for members only area. Through our site, any member withersoever dispersed can now access and peruse Lodge files and other documents.
To all friends and visitors, enjoy your visit and we hope that our site will give you an insight about us Freemasons and what we do. We are often asked, "What do you Freemasons do?," as if there's something extraordinary about what we do. The answer to this is quite simple, we do the same things like what any ordinary organization does. The only difference perhaps is our ancient customs and rituals. After all Freemasonry is simply a Fraternity--an organization of men, banded together to further develop themselves ethically and morally, and to give to the community at large without expecting anything in return.
We encourage you to regularly visit us for new updates. Also, we would be glad to hear your feedback, just send your comments and suggestions to the webmaster or leave us a message at our website's guestbook.
Lastly, this website yields allegiance to the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Philippines whose See is at the New Plaridel Masonic Temple, 1440 San Marcelino Street, Ermita, Manila
Fraternally,
WB JONATHAN DENVER C. CUEZON Worshipful Master

A Jacques DeMolay Memorial Lodge No.305, F.&A.M. year end presentation. Moments of JDML305 events and activities in 2008, captured on stills and our collective memory.
Last Masonic Labor for MY 2008
Jacques DeMolay Memorial Lodge No.305 aptly closed Masonic year 2008 in due and ancient form by performing its last Masonic labor for Masonic Year 2008. The Brethren conferred the 2nd Degree of Masonry upon Entered Apprentice Brother Benson Brian Ong Lee on December 19, 2008 at the Scottish Rite Temple.
Bro. Francis E. Blanco and Bro. Ariel A. V. Gumabon, newly elected Worshipful Master and Senior Warden for MY 2009 respectively, took the stations of their respective elected positions in the Lodge for the conferral rites.After the conferral, the Brethren proceeded to a simple fellowship.
Jacques DeMolay Memorial Lodge No.305 begun Masonic Year 2008 in Order, conducted its Labors in Peace and now closed MY 2008 in Harmony. The Lodge is now called from Labor to Refreshment, until the sound of the Gavel in the East welcomes the Brethren back to Labor again in MY 2009.
JDML 305 Xmas Fellowship
In the evening after the Pasko para sa ERMA, the Brethren gathered again at the residence of WM Jonathan D.C. Cuezon in Pasig City, for a simple Christmas fellowship. While other Brethren were already busy attending their respective Christmas parties elsewhere, the rest came to WM Jonathan's abode to join the Lodge's Christmas fellowship.
The newly elected lights of the Lodge were there so were friends and visitors of the Brethren. WM Jonathan D.C.Cuezon and wife, Sis. Dra. Gaylil, played the perfect hosts by ensuring the Brethren's comfort and the fellowship night an enjoyable one.

PASKO SA KANLUNGAN SA ERMA
It has become a tradition of Jacques DeMolay Memorial Lodge No.305 to make Children, especially the orphans and street children, happy during Christmas - the season where Children are supposed to be Happy.
Last December 13, 2008, led by WM Jonathan D. C. Cuezon, the Brethren of JDML305 and their families hosted a Christmas party for the Children of Kanlungan sa ERMA.Around fourty children from Kanlungan sa ERMA enjoyed lunch and had fun at Jollibee Taft. They were also given gifts and goodies which were distributed by the JDML305 Kids. Also, additional gift stuff were given by Bro. Manny Gudito and Bro.Haresh Mirchandani.
Jacques DeMolay Memorial Lodge No.305, extends its sincere gratitude to the Officers and Staff of the Kanlungan sa ERMA Center for giving the Lodge the oppurtunity to become part of a Child's happy memory, even to a small degree. Kanlungan sa ERMA has been the Lodge's long time partner in this noble endeavor.
In a simple yet very touching token, the Children of ERMA, gave the Brethren a Christmas Card with their group picture and individual signatures on it. What best Christmas gift can our Lodge get, than that of being remembered by those whom we always seem to forget - the abandoned Children, the orphans and the street children.
The OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF JDML305 and our FAMILIES, would like to share the message of the Card given to us by the Children of Kanlungan sa ERMA, as our CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO ALL:
TO WISH YOU THE BLESSINGS OF PEACE AND HAPPINESS AT CHRISTMAS AND ALWAYS
