 “A Revitalized, Relevant,
and Revered Philippine Freemasonry:
Our Commitment, Our Covenant”

MW TOMAS G. RENTOY III

Grand Master
Masonic Year 2015-2016
 GRAND MASTER’S MESSAGE

My warmest felicitations to all the brethren and guests. Welcome to the land
of majestic Mt. Mayon, the world’s most beautiful volcano.
Today, as we once more bond as brothers and reinvigorate our
mystic ties in Annual Communication, let us all take time to take stock of our
beloved Fraternity and its prospects for the future. As we step onto
the road of reforms, let our strides be firm and harmonious – determined
to start a new era where our Fraternity is held in deep reverence by our
people. Let us vow to achieve this in our generation.
Our theme for Masonic Year 2015-2016 expresses our common
aspiration:
“A Revitalized, Relevant, and Revered Philippine Freemasonry: Our
Commitment, Our Covenant”.
Now that the time to implement them has come, I enjoin every
worthy brother to stay committed to the Three Guards to Reform, the agenda
validated three years ago during the ANCOM in Naga City. Guided by
the three basic tenets of our Craft: Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth, we
cannot fail.
Moreover, as our country contends with serious internal and external
challenges, I urge every worthy brother to, within the limits of their
respective cabletows, contribute to the attainment of stable peace and
inclusive prosperity. Collectively and as individual citizens, let us help our
leaders steer us safely through the perils that threaten our ship of
state into the calm seas of contented citizens living in harmony with
the rest of mankind.
May the Great Architect of the Universe bless us all.

Fraternally yours,

MW Tomas G. Rentoy III

Grand Master

 ABOUT OUR GRANDMASTER

In the Shade of the Square and Compass

The Square and Compass have always loomed large in his life. As a child,
he received his first formal education literally under the shadow of the Square
and Compass. He attended kindergarten classes on the ground floor of Isarog
Lodge No. 33 in his hometown, Naga City. He was awed by the reverence
with which his teacher referred to the dignified gentlemen who met at the
second floor. It is little wonder then that as he grew older, he was inexorably
drawn towards the Craft.

His Humble Beginnings

Our Grand Master was born on February 25, 1958 in a quiet neighborhood
in Naga City. He is the third son in a brood of six (6) boys and two (2) girls.
His father, the late Tomas Milanay Rentoy I, was a former patrolman in the
Naga City Police Department who decided to turn in his badge and join the
more sedentary teaching profession so he could be near his wife, and their
growing family. His father was a strict disciplinarian. Explaining that he has
nothing to bequeath his sons but his good name, he had them all named after
himself. His mother, Minda Gontang Rentoy, was the typical dutiful wife and
loving mom who stayed home to take care of her children.

Family and close friends fondly call him “Adit”, (short for the Bicol word
“Sadit”), a term of endearment meaning “the little one”. He must have been
such a cute little baby boy to deserve that.

To support himself in college, he worked as a lowly utility man in the

Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in Naga City from 1978 to 1981.
Midway to college, he heard about the newly established academy where
struggling college kids can actually earn a living by studying to be police
officers. He took and passed the stringent entrance examinations and
screening. In June 1981, Adit discarded his civilian clothes, had his long
curly hair shaved and donned the uniform of a police cadet at the Philippine
National Police Academy.
His Years in the Police Service

That was how Adit, the former utility man, the son of a teacher and
former local policeman, found himself marching among the hundred proud
graduates of the Philippine National Police Academy “MAGITING” Class of
1983. He then went on to serve the Philippine National Police with honor and
distinction, leaving an impressive trail of achievements in all his assignments.

As any other young Police Lieutenant fresh from the Academy, he sought
and was granted assignment to remote police units. This was how he came to
be, up until then, the youngest Station Commander Dipaculao Police Station
in Aurora province ever had. Back in those days, taking the long, dusty bus
ride to Dipaculao was an adventure in itself.

It was in Dipaculao where he displayed his strong sense of heroism when

in 1986 he was wounded and almost lost an arm in an encounter with several
armed Communist Terrorists. He was brought to Camp Crame Hospital for
treatment. Before his wound could even heal, he left his hospital bed and
returned to his station. General Renato S. De Villa, the then Chief, PC/Director
General, INP, recognizing his courage and heroism, personally intervened
and had him transferred to his home province of Camarines Sur to recuperate.
He served in various capacity his father’s former unit, the Naga City Police.
He also served in nearby insurgent-infested towns.

Towards the ‘90s, his leadership and financial management skills came
to the fore as he rose in rank and position in the Philippine National Police,
holding several assignments at the PNP Finance Service. It was while assigned
in the Finance Service that he was admitted into the graduate program of the
world renowned Asian Institute of Management.

As a Police Superintendent in the mid-‘90s, he held various key positions.

For several years, he served as Regional Chief of the Comptrollership Division
of Police Regional Office 8 in Samar. He also held the position of Acting
Regional Director of the PNP Regional Training School 5 in Legazpi City.

In 2006, he was reassigned to the PNP Directorate for Comptrollership as

Chief of the Budget Division. He later moved on to become its Executive Officer
and consequently was promoted to the star rank of Chief Superintendent in
2010, the first in his class. In the final two years of his police service, he was
assigned as Chief of the PNP Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation
Agencies (SOSIA), the office that supervises all security agencies in the
country.
 He retired from the police service last year and shortly thereafter
was elected as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Philippine National
Police Academy Alumni Association, Inc.

Our Grand Master has many “firsts” on his list. He is the first PNPA
alumnus to graduate on a scholarship from the prestigious Asian Institute of
Management. He is the first in his class to earn the much coveted star rank of
Chief Superintendent in the PNP. And he is the first PNPA graduate to finish a
course at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at the Harvard University
in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Another first is this event we are holding in
Legazpi City – an event that began during a similar occasion three years ago in
Naga City.

His sterling leadership quality and outstanding management skills earned

for him numerous awards and accolades through the years. Among these are
the Medalya ng Kagalingan, Kasanayan, Papuri, Paglilingkod and Kabutihang Asal.
He is also a recipient of numerous Certificates of Appreciation and Letters of
Commendation.

His outstanding performance and competence was duly recognized when

he was adjudged as the Best Training Director of the year, awarded by PNTI in
2000 and as the Best Senior PCO of the Year for Administration at the Regional
Level during the 15th PNP Anniversary Celebration in 2005. Aside from the
various police service eligibilities that he has obtained over the years as a police
officer, he is also a CESO VI eligible.

The Worthy Brother

In our craft, he was entered, passed and raised to the sublime degree of
Master Mason at Cosmos Lodge No. 8 in 1992. He later became the Charter
Master of the Grand Secretary MW Reynold S. Fajardo Memorial Lodge
No. 383 in 2010. He was Worshipful Master of Camarines Sur Lodge No. 382
the following year. He is a plural member of the San Marcelino Lodge
No. 380.

Moreover, his Masonic activities extend outside of the blue lodges as he

actively involves himself in appendant bodies. He is the Immediate Past
Recorder and the Past Potentate of Mabuhay Shriners Philippines; Past President
of Maginoo Shrine Club; Member, Pilipinas York Rite Bodies; Charter Member,
Davao York Rite College; Member, Munoz Bodies, Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite; Member, Supreme Council, Order of DeMolay of the Republic
of the Philippines and President Emeritus of the PNPA BEST Square and
Compass Club. Member, Order of the Secret Monitor. Honorary member of BIR
Travellers’s Haven Incorporated (BIRTH). In December 2011, he was awarded
the Distinguished Mason in Government during the centennial anniversary of
the MWGLP. He was conferred the Honorary Legion of Honor by the Supreme
Council of the Order of Demolay last March 18, 2015.

Many lodges, both here and abroad, have bestowed on him honorary
membership. The lodges under the Philippine jurisdiction that have welcomed
him as their honorary member are Gregorio Calit Memorial Lodge No. 154,
Diffun Masonic Lodge No. 317, Jacques Demolay Lodge No. 305, Norberto S.
Amaranto Lodge No. 358, Lake Lanao Lodge No. 227, Sanchez Mira Lodge No.
233, Kutang Bato Lodge No. 110, Makahambus Lodge No. 315, and Sta Rosa
Lodge No. 297, Dr. Sun Yat Sen Memorial Lodge No. 398. Abroad, the Park
Lodge No. 516, Grand Lodge of New York has also adopted him as its honorary
member. Likewise, the AAHMES Shriners Temple in Livermore, California has
made him its honorary member.

He has fully imbibed the virtues of Freemasonry and adopted them as his
way of life. And this he did not limit to himself but has extended it to his family.
His wife, Nancy, is active in the Bethel Council of Job’s Daughters International.
His son, Russell, is himself a Master Mason, and a Shriner. His daughter, Aimee,
is past Grand Bethel Honored Queen, past Miss Philippines Job’s Daughter, and
past Royal Matron, Lilly of the Valley Court No. 56, Order of the Amaranth.
His youngest daughter, Athena, is Marshal of Bethel 22, Job’s Daughters
International. The virtues of masonry guides him in his relations with his other
children, Mark Anthony and Ryan John.

A Reformer’s Journey to the Grand East

He has come a long way since the day he knocked on the West Gate of
Cosmos Lodge No. 8. His journey has taken him to the entire length of our
archipelago and overseas. A disturbing trend that he witnessed during his visits
to various lodges moved him to take the road to the Grand East.

To prepare himself for the arduous journey to the Grand East, he intensified
his consultations with the brethren. He sought the counsel of the past
grandmasters. Thus evolved a vision drawn from the shared sentiments of the
brethren, the vision he saw as a little child – Philippine Freemasonry revitalized,
relevant and, most of all, revered.

Having crystalized the vision, he then moved to concretize it. He gathered

around him a band of worthy brothers, the PNPA BEST, who individually and
collectively reached out to other masonic clubs, appendant bodies and worthy
brothers in the blue lodges in order to draw up a road map to the attainment of
the vision. Slowly, the needed reform agenda took shape.

Our Grand Master officially unveiled the reform agenda during the 2012
ANCOM where an overwhelming number of the brethren validated them
through the votes they cast for him when he won as Junior Grand Warden. By
then, he has become a household name among the brethren. His reform agenda,
the Three Guards to Reform, would soon become a popular slogan.

With the validity of the vision and its concomitant reform agenda firmly
established, the newly elected Junior Grand Warden immediately organized the
TGR Team. For the next three years, the team met regularly to brainstorm and
flesh out the reform agenda. With scholarly dedication, the team meticulously
drafted edicts, issuances, protocols, and plans of action so that these may be
ready for implementation on day one of the assumption to the Grand Oriental
Chair of our Most Worshipful Grand Master.

From kindergarten desk to the Grand Oriental Chair is a long way indeed.
That little boy who played under the shadow of the square and compass now
walks among the men on the upper floor whom his teacher regarded with much
respect. But despite all his achievements and successes in life, he really hasn’t
changed much. He remains approachable as ever. His zeal as a devotee of Our
Lady of Penafrancia has not waned. And, yes, he is still an avid golfer.

Call or text him any day or night, and should his phone be busy, as is often
the case now, you can be assured he’ll call you back. Approach him with a
problem, big or small, and he will receive you with a helping hand. He listens.
Ah, he even sings.

The life he has so far lived is now legend while the rest of it is history in the
making.

We are lucky witnesses to and privileged participants in revolutionary
reforms to our Ancient Craft here in the Philippine jurisdiction. Fired up by our
common vision of Freemasonry revered by society, he has set us on the course
towards the Three Guards to Reform – Guard the West Gate, Guard the Lamp,
and Guard the Ballot.

Towards this noble goal, let us give our unqualified commitment to and
sign our covenant with the Most Worshipful Tomas Guntang Rentoy III, Grand
Master of Free and Accepted Masons under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge
of the Philippines for MY 2015-2016.

In search of the Ancient Word
Although the way be thorny,
Our Free will and full accord.

Thy Temple we build with hands
The Labor of the Brethren,
Fulfill all thy wondrous plans.

O Hail Grand Lodge of Masons,

Most Worshipful is Thy reign
O’er all the four horizons,
Thy mandate is sovereign.

O Hail Grand Lodge of Masons,

Most Worshipful is Thy grace
Our working tools and Aprons.

O Hail Grand Lodge of Masons,

Most Worshipful is Thy State
All men of God and reasons
Will knock at Thy pearly gate

O Hail Grand lodge of Masons,

Most Worshipful is Thy name
Like jewels and Truth emblazons,
In history’s Book of Fame.

O Hail ... O Hail ...!
