Freemasonry is the oldest, largest, and most charitable fraternity in the world. What we do
know for a fact is that nearly every president of the United States has been involved in
Freemasonry on some level, along with astronauts, world famous artists, painters, composers,
musicians, and actors. Roy Rogers was a Mason, along with John Wayne, Johnny Cash,
Harry Houdini, and Louis Armstrong. Who are these men, and why does this centuries-old
fraternity of brotherhood mystify us still?

Jose Rizal died a Freemason. He never retracted his beliefs therefor he gained the enmity of the
Church who placed heavy pressure for his death sentence. It was recorded in his conversations in
Dapitan with Fr. Pastells and Fr. Sanchez that they offered him safety and longer life if he retracts
his Masonic beliefs and returns to the catholic fold. Rizal never did. He stood by his beliefs to the
death.

He died with a normal pulse, and he accepted his death as a very natural thing. His teacher Piy
Margal is also a Freemason, as well as the key people of the revolution: Andres Bonifacio, Juan
Luna, Apolinario Mabini.

Rizal supports spirituality but not religion. He wrote that religion divides people, spirituality unites
them. He lived by Masonic teachings and this was what got him to be the Church's enemy no. 1. He
was buried with no Christian blessing or fanfare: he was buried in an unmarked dirt heap in Paco
cemetery where his sisters (also Masons) and mother faught hard to be given the right to bury him
properly. In a few days after his death, the Masons in their full regalia offered him a decent "burial"
(they fixed his tomb and paraded the streets of Manila where to the Filipino's suprise the frairs just
watched and shrugged their shoulders).
