The duties to be performed by the members of the Association are
exceedingly hard, like the protection of the oppressed and the relentless
fight against all that is evil.

There can be no dereliction or willful evasion of duty without the

exaction of a terrible punishment.

ANYBODY WHO IS NOT WILLING TO ACT SHOULD

NOT ENTER, NO MATTER HOW GOOD A SPEAKER HE

There is also a payment of due required:
• P1.00 – upon entry
• P12.50 – each month

The custodian of the funds will periodically render an account to the

members, and each member has a right to examine the accounts,
should he so wish.

The funds cannot be expended without the consent of the majority.

The aforementioned must be thought over and deliberated upon calmly, as it
be accomplished or endured by anyone who has no love for his native land and
no genuine desire to promote progress. For the up liftmen of mind and virtue
the foregoing shall be peruse and practice vigorously.

⋆ A life that is not dedicated to a noble and divine cause is like a tree
without a shade, if not, a poisonous weed.
