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.
Our site is still new, hence most of its features still need to be developed and enhanced. We would 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

Here's the photo montage-video of our 15th Anniversary celebration.
15 years...and counting!
JDML 305 15th Anniversary Celebration: Simple Pero Rock
JDML 305's June 27, 2008 stated meeting was not an ordinary meeting. It was occasioned for the commemoration of the Lodge's 15th Anniversary and highlighted by the attendance of the Lodge's most prominent dual member - the sitting Grand Master of Masons of the Philippines, MW Pacifico B. Aniag.
Not only was it his Official Visitation in his capacity as Grand Master, but GM Aniag said, that he chose to attend the meeting because he is a founding Charter and active dual member of the Lodge, and wanted to be with the Brethren in celebrating the Lodge's Fifteenth Anniversary. Brethren from various Lodges, notably those from Masonic District NCR-A, also came to bring felicitations and glad tidings to the Lodge.
Taking cue from WM Jonathan D.C. Cuezon, the Lodge received and welcomed the Grand Master and his Party with Grand Honors. The Grand Master's party was composed of the Officers of Masonic District NCR-A, led by DDGM VW Joselito Bulawin, DGLs VW Wilson Lee and VW Paul Ibasco and Grand Lodge Inspectors, WI Reynaldo M. Tomampo Jr., WI Manuelito O. Valloso, VWI Charles Agar.
After the regular transaction of Lodge business, GM Pacifico Aniag was given the floor for a speech. Starting off with a congratulatory message to the Brethren of the Lodge, GM Aniag then proceeded with an inspirational address.
