Last January 30, 2010, Jacques DeMolay Memorial Lodge No.305 held its 18th Public Installation of Officers at Conrado Benitez Hall, Scottish Rite Temple, Taft Ave., Manila. The installation's Guest of Honor was the Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the Philippines, RW Avelino I. Razon.

The Installing team was composed of Senior DeMolays who are all JDML 305 Past Masters, and Past District Deputy Grand Masters; VW Ramoncito "Jojo" Javier as the Installing Officer; VW Joselito "Joji" Bulawin, Master of Ceremonies and VW Egidio "Gigi" Ancajas, Asst. Master of Ceremonies. Conspicuously the installing team all wore white aprons, in a gesture reminding all those assuming office of the DeMolay injunction, "...never forgetting that, though you are temporarily the chief among your brethren, you have only emerged for a brief time from the ranks, and to the ranks you will soon return."

After the installation ceremonies, the brethren, guests and friends gathered at the Masonic Heroes Hall of the Scottish Rite Temple for fraternal banquet and fellowship. After the affair, none went away dissatisfied, harmony being the strength of our fraternity was once again affirmed, experienced and shared.

The installed elected and appointed officers for Masonic Year 2010 are:
