Remembering Kuya Rolly Sarmiento.......


THE MAN AND BROTHER served as an inspiration and a model to the brethrens of Cavite of what is a TRUE MASON….

His Masonic Career…..

VW Rolly H. Sarmiento has lived a very dynamic Masonic life, as may be gleaned from the subsequent narration…..


1982, He knocks at the door of ARAW LODGE # 18 and the door of Masonry open to him as he was initiated (February 06, 1982), passed (March 06, 1982) and was raised in the sublime degree of Masonry on April 03, 1982.


On the same year, he was conferred the 32nd degree of the Luzon Bodies Scottish Rite.


In 1989, he was elected as Worshipful Master of Jose Rizal Lodge # 1172 under the Grand Lodge of the State of New York. This lodge is composed of natural-born Filipinos in a foreign Masonic grand jurisdiction.


1997 & 1998, He was the Worshipful Master of Mendez Nunez # 316 under the jurisdiction of Grand Lodge of the Philippines.



His other Masonic position in District # 2:

GLI 2000 - 2001
DGL 2001 - 2002
DDGM 2003 - 2004



His Masonic Dream……

It’s been his dream of forming a Masonic lodge in his hometown of Mendez, Cavite. After his long sojourn abroad he finally decided to take an early retirement in 1995 and settled back home permanently. He then started to work on the realization of his dream……forming a Masonic lodge in Mendez.

In 1996 his dream was realized with the help of some brothers and their first installation was held in Tagaytay Lodge. Their monthly meeting was later on moved to Indang Lodge. He also spearheaded the founding of Mendez-Nunez Masonic Temple in the year 2000. The land was donated by their mother Trinidad H. Sarmiento.


His Masonic Support…..

In 2006 when Mendez Nunez Lodge decided to join the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Philippine
Island (IGLPI) with new charter number as Mendez Nunez Lodge # 8, he served as a guide and counselor to the brethren of Mendez Nunez during the first year of our masonic journey to the rough and rugged road of True Masonry.

HARMONY was his last wish to the brethren of MNL and as of to date we embrace this as this prevail in our masonic temple to show how we love and respect Kuya Rolly.




Lastly sharing to you the excerpt from his speech as DDGM in 2003 District Convention held in Mendez Nunez Masonic Temple.

“Let us not only be masons by name. But more importantly, let us be masons by heart, by words, and most of all, by deeds”.



-------VW Rolly H. Sarmiento
