2B1ask1: Becoming a Freemason

Our fraternity has a wonderful history, which dates back more than four centuries. It is one of the world's oldest secular fraternities, a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values. Founded on the three great principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth, it aims to bring together men of goodwill, regardless of background and differences.

Who can become a Freemason?

People might think that to become a Freemason is quite difficult. It's actually straightforward. You just have to ask: 2b1ask1 – to be one, ask one.

The essential qualifications for admission are that you should be 21 years of age or older, and believe in a Supreme Being.

• Is this of your own free will and accord
• Are you a man, freeborn, of good repute and well-recommended
• Are you of lawful age and properly vouched for
• Do you believe in a Supreme Being
• Can you support yourself and family

The First Steps

If you are interested in becoming a Freemason, we advise that you first talk to a family member, friend or colleague whom you already know to be a mason. They will be able to explain to you what they can about the fraternity and help you find a suitable Lodge.

If you don't know anyone who is a member, then get in touch with a Masonic Office in your area. Write to that office, telling them a little bit about yourself and your reasons for wishing to join.

If you are interested in joining Kagitingan Lodge here in Makati, please feel free to contact us.

Arrangements will be made to meet you socially to find out more about you, and to give you a chance to find out more about us. In due course you would be invited to meet a committee of members from a Lodge you might be joining, prior to being balloted for membership of that Lodge.

All being well, a date would then be fixed for your admission.
