"Masonry will teach and advocate the noble principles of independence, brotherhood and equality among peoples and inherent within them are the values that will cease the conflict among men, correct the abuses and bring about the reign of righteousness which has been the dream of all great men of the world," remarked Dimasalang, who is likewise considered one of those greats he was referring to in his statement. Simply because we recognize him as our National Hero and a staunch member of the controversial fraternity of the French Masonry. Rizal’s membership in the fraternity was deemed of significant importance to him, as its values sustained his principles and beliefs such as the separation of the Church and State, education for the youth and religious freedom.
