In on the covert tradition, one with the Masons for the Brotherhood's Centennial Celebration

Dan Brown, you got nothing on me! Finally, I'm in on the ancient secret of Masonic Order, serving as the Master of Ceremonies for their public installation of officers (Masonic Lodge Noli Me Tangere Lodge 42) and their brotherhood's centennial anniversary in the Philippines. 
Being a writer and an avid reader, I am still giddy about this experience, finding that underneath all the conspiracy theories about this brotherhood, they are actually just men of intelligence, honor, nobility with a loads of fun and modernity.  They even had cake! Like a wedding cake. How cool is that? Guess you can say this was a wedding of past tradition and modern fervor! 
I thank Ate Joy Uy, the wife of their newly installed leader, Jay Uy. She had put in a lot of effort here, she's a successful career woman but an even more successful wife and mother. 
She hand-picked me to be the emcee of this very important milestone in their family's life, and most especially her husband, Most Worshipful Master Jay Uy, most who truly deserves this great honor! 
Jay and Joy's two daughters are just so adorable too; I just loved our OOTD! It's not every day that I get to rock the mic in a Filipiniana... 
The event was truly one-of-a-kind, memorable and exhilarating. Not to mention the food was so amazing! Lechon, fresh sashimi, all the things I love! I can't recall if I loved the hosting part or the eating part more.
 I did not have a team along to take proper videos, so I got whoever was available. Warning: these are such terrible videos, but what the heck; I just have to get those videos up here and out there:
