DeMolay Philippines proudly takes part in the 2026 DeMolay International Session held in Chicago, USA, joining DeMolays, Advisors, leaders, and brethren from different jurisdictions across the world in a meaningful gathering centered on leadership, service, brotherhood, and the continued advancement of the DeMolay movement.
Representing the Philippines on this significant international occasion, the Philippine delegation is led by Grand Master Hon. Albert V. Manlulu, together with Leg. Grand Senior Councilor Ericson Atanacio, Grand Junior Steward Leg. Emerson Atanacio, National Master Councilor Bro. Joaquin Echeverria, Past National Master Councilor Bro. Frederick Atanacio, Regional Master Councilor Bro. Theodore Atanacio, and Bro. Matteo Atanacio.
Their presence at the International Session stands as a proud representation of the dedication, excellence, and commitment of DeMolay Philippines to the values and principles that have guided the Order for generations. It is also a testament to the strong and enduring spirit of Filipino DeMolays, who continue to uphold the ideals of filial love, reverence for sacred things, courtesy, comradeship, fidelity, cleanness, and patriotism wherever they may be.
Upon their arrival in the United States, the delegation was warmly welcomed at Chicago O’Hare International Airport by brethren from the jurisdiction, led by SCOD Grand Representative for Illinois Leg. Eric Delmo and Deputy SGR Leg. Vince Sy, together with Bro. Rhyan Mata, Bro. Johann Roldan, Bro. Hans Roldan, Bro. Lui Magno, Bro. Ramon “Bong” Fernandez, and Bro. Oliver Vincent Vidal.
This warm reception reflects the true meaning of brotherhood that transcends borders, cultures, and distances. It is a reminder that wherever DeMolays may travel, they are never far from the bonds of friendship and fraternity that unite the Order worldwide.
The DeMolay International Session continues to serve as an important global assembly where leaders and members of the Order come together to strengthen relationships, exchange meaningful ideas, share experiences, and discuss the future of DeMolay. It is a venue where young men and mentors alike are inspired to continue building stronger chapters, better communities, and a deeper commitment to service.
For DeMolay Philippines, participation in this international gathering is more than just representation. It is an opportunity to showcase the strength, unity, and active involvement of the Philippine jurisdiction in the global DeMolay family. It is also a chance to learn from other jurisdictions, foster international friendships, and bring home valuable insights that can further enrich the programs, leadership initiatives, and brotherhood within the Philippines.
As the session continues, DeMolay Philippines joins the international community in celebrating the shared mission of forming better young men, developing responsible leaders, and promoting a lifelong commitment to moral values and service to others.
May this participation continue to inspire our brethren across the Philippines and around the world to live by the teachings of the Order and to carry forward the light of DeMolay with honor, humility, and pride.
🇵🇭 Mabuhay ang DeMolay Philippines!
Long live the spirit of international brotherhood!
For God, For Country, For DeMolay.
