Commemoration of the death of Graciano López Jaena

“Nationalism is nourished by a sense of history. It is of its essence to know profoundly the past, so that we may be in complete openness with the men who made that history and in intimate communion with their thoughts, their deeds, and their noble lives.”
—Claro M. Recto, Jr.

The Serafin V. Aguilar Chapter No.10, Order Of DeMolay, with its three dedicated members and Chapter Advisor Dad Nicholas Boco from Kanlaon Lodge No. 64 F.&A.M., participated in the commemoration of the death of Graciano López Jaena, a distinguished Filipino Journalist and writer from the Spanish era. Recognized for his significant role in the fight for independence through his newspaper “La Solidaridad,” López Jaena is honored as a national hero.

Brethren, we must pay tribute to those who sacrificed for our nation’s peace and freedom. The liberty we cherish today is a result of the blood and lives given for the greater good of our country.

For God, For Country, For DeMolay
