Laureano S. Ledres Sr. Memorial Lodge No. 271 (Formerly known as Manuel Luis Quezon (Bukidnon)

The Name

            Like Lodge No. 262, this lodge is named after the first President of the Philippine Commonwealth and first Filipino Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Philippines. This lodge is located at Quezon town in Bukidnon.

The Lodge

            This lodge was organized by 36 Master Masons who were members of five lodges in Masonic District No. 35. Believing that there was a need for a new lodge in the town of Quezon, Bukidnon, they filed a petition with the Grand Lodge asking to be given a dispensation to form a lodge in the town that would also carry the name of President Manuel L. Quezon. On December 11, 1984, Grand Master Reynato S. Puno gave them a dispensation and in April 1985, during the annual communication of the Grand Lodge, the lodge was granted a charter and assigned number 271.

            On December 21, 1985 Manuel Luis Quezon (Bukidnon) Lodge No 271 was formally constituted. The following officers were also installed with RW Domingo F. M. Domingo, Grand Secretary, officiating the ceremonies: WB's Laureano S. Ledres, Felicisimo Delfin and Norberto B. Alli, Jr. as Worshipful Master, Senior and Junior Wardens, respectively.
