HERITAGE
In the early part of 2010, it was the desire of some brethren residing working near the town of CAPAS and Conception, TARLAC, Philippines to establish a new Lodge. It was then ANG REHENERASYON” was the proposed name of the new lodge. At that time there were already (8) eight lodges in the province of TARLAC, namely; ISAGANI Lodge No. 96 of TARLAC City, Victory Lodge No. 116 of CAMILING, TARLAC, Anchor Lodge No. 159 of PANIQUI, TARLAC, ARCADIO Evangelista Memorial Lodge No. 254 of San Francisco, ANAO, TARLAC, PURA Lodge No. 312 of PURA, TARLAC. APOLINARIO B. Yap Memorial Lodge No. 328 of Victoria, TARLAC, Cosmo P. Antonio Memorial Lodge No. 339, and TARLAC KAUNLARAN Lodge No. 360 both in TARLAC City. In the mid-part of 2011, the very eager brethren met together and finalized for the re-submission of the papers for the proposed lodge “ANG REHENERASYON” which was strongly agreed by the group and has a great faith that our Supreme Grand Master may now influence the hearts and minds of our Grand Master and the Charter Committee of doing their noble task of opening their doors, welcoming our proposed lodge, instituting and finally giving charter to help in the district and the Grand lodge in pursuing its goal and objectives.

IN AN INFORMAL MEETING at LAJA MAJA Hotel, BRGY LIGTASAN TARLAC City which was held in May 21,2010 at around 7:00 in the evening attended by the brethren of the district namely; VW Michael DJ David, PDDGM, WB Ronnie T. TABABA, PM, WB Marcos DELA Cruz, PM, WB Raul TUGADE, PM, WB DINDO Feliciano, PM, WB Beda QUIAMBAO, PM, Bro. Dennis CUNANAN, Bro. Pie YABUT, Bro. ARTEMIO FRONDA, Bro. Lyndon CUNANAN, Bro. Jesse Jonathan ZAMUCO, Bro Alejandro Lim, Bro. Christopher P. TAYAG, Bro. JINER T. Samson, Bro. Philip GANA, Bro. RUFFY Marcelo, and Bro Antonio Cruz Jr. and Bro. Edwin T. MANALO, jointly proposed that the name of the lodge which will be called “ANG REHENERASYON” from the Spanish word La REGENERACION and English word The Regeneration meaning the spiritual and the moral revival or rebirth, forming again (especially with improvements); renewing and reconstituting. Also it can be noted that the Masons from the provinces of TARLAC and Pampanga founded LA REGENERACION lodge in 1915 under the auspices of the Gran Orient ESPAÑOL. On September 4, 1915, it held its first election of officers. The following year, or more specifically on December 20, 1916, it was admitted into the Federation of the Grand Orient ESPAÑOL as La REGENERACION Lodge No. 386. In February 1917, La REGENERACION joined the Grand Lodge of the Philippines Islands and was issued a new charter as Lodge No. 36. It was formally constituted on February 14, 1917 together with thirty other lodges. On May 31, 1925 the officers, of the formally surrendered the charter of the lodge to the Grand Lodge. Since the grand lodge on the revival of lodges does not meet its requirement, the decision of the members is just to form a new one but under almost the same name “ANG REHENERASYON”.
