The core group led by the brethren of King Solomon Lodge 150 (MD NCR-G) formalized the organization of the lodge wherein it will cater the City of TAGUIG. This was followed by successive meetings together with completion of the requirements a petition for dispensation was then drafted by and was recommended to the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Philippines which was approved on February 07, 2009.WB PERFECTO M.
