HERITAGE

     WB Cesar L. Cruz II, Past Master of ZARAGOSA Lodge No. 263, a resident of ALIAGA, Nueva ECIJA and VW Raphael I. BATANGAN of Gen. Manuel TINIO Lodge No. 167, in GUIMBA, Nueva ECIJA thought of forming a new lodge in the town of ALIAGA. Several meetings ensued which were attended by like-minded brethren. One of the meetings transpired during the birthday of WB Phil Cruz. In that affair, the brethren organized the ALIAGA Masonic Club. Elected President and Secretary of the club were VW CARLITO GAPASIN and VW Raphael I. BATANGAN. Sometime in 2011, a Petition to Form a new Lodge was submitted to the Grand Lodge of the Philippines. Elected charter Worshipful Master and Wardens were WB CARLITO M. GAPASIN, VW LEOPOLDO F. OGANIZA and WB LAMBERTO B. Miranda, respectively. On December 21, 2011, ALIAGA Lodge U.D. was formally instituted. Their first stated meeting was conducted on December 27, 2011. After laboring for a few years, ALIAGA Lodge was granted a charter during the Annual Communications in 2013. The Lodge was constituted on June 10, 2013 by MW JUANITO G. ESPINO, Jr.

HERALDRY

     The Lodge was named after the first class Municipality of ALIAGA where its Lodge Temple is located. Formerly it was called PULUNG BIBIT and MAYNILANG MUNTI (Little Manila). It has 26 BARANGAYS and is predominantly as agricultural town rice and other Agricultural products are in abundance. The Lodge Seal is characterized by the All-Seeing Eye which signifies that the wisdom of the Great Architect of the Universe is always upon the Lodge and its brethren. The Municipality of ALIAGA being a predominantly agricultural town is emphasized in the seal by two (2) stalks of PALAY and a depiction of a RICEFIELD adorned by the rays of the sun.
