The Lodge is named after a distinguished Mason who has labored for and loved so well by his townsmen. The late Worshipful Brother Julian Ocampo, according to his biographer, was well-to-do but died a poor man. He dispensed much to charity and even in the exercise of his profession (lawyer) he went as far as paying all the necessary February, 1958 279 fees incident to the cases he handled instead of charging them from his numerous clients. He was one of the founders of Isarog Lodge No. 33, located in the capital town, Naga, of Camarines Sur. After the ceremonies of constitution, Rt. Worshipful Brother Macario M. Ofilada, installed the officers with Wor. Bro. Oliveroe acting as Master of Ceremonies.

Senior Warden .......................................................... Ignacio Meliton Junior Warden ........................................................ Sulpicio Bernardo Treasurer ................................................ Bayani C. Fontanilla, P.M. Secretary .................................................................... Felipe R. Abafio Chaplain .................................................... Pedro E. Dy-Liacco, P.M. Marshall .................................................... Arturo V. Gumabon, P.M.

There is every indication of a favorable growth of the new Lodge. CHRISTMAS CLEARANCE SALE A lot of prejudices which nave ceased to be of use to me; a stock of envy of the rich, some slightly shopworn jealousy; a large supply of gloom that I shall have no use for from today. I offer bargains. Who will buy? Come, bid, and take the stuff away! A lot of wishes I’ve outgrown, a stock of foolish old beliefs; some pride I once was glad to own, a bulky line of misfit griefs. A large assortment of ill will, a job of bad faith and doubt; harsh words that have their stingers still—come on, come on! I need more room for kindliness, for hopeful courage and good cheer. For sale, the hatred I possess, the dark suspicions and the fear. A large supply of frailties I shall have no use for from today. I offer bargains—who will buy? Come, bid, and take the stuff away! — Anonymous in Lutheran Standard THE CABLETOW
