The GLP Centennial Logo
The three stars represent the three American lodges that formed the Grand Lodge of the Philippine Islands.
The encircled words are self explanatory. Below is the high-lighted Grand Lodge of the Philippines’ area of jurisdiction as indicated in the original GLP logo.
To your left and right are the years 1912 and 2012, which are the GLP's founding year and centennial year, respectively.
Smack in the middle is the Square & Compass; on each side are the Angels of the GLP logo. This is reminiscent of the original Grand Lodge. The Angels represent Dexter and Sinister, who stands for Silence and Circumspection, guarding our demeanor as Freemasons. Right in their middle is the Philippine Map, which should remind us to take good care of our demeanor as Filipino citizens.
The S&C is also over the Philippine Map. This represents the GLP’s area of jurisdiction. If you look at the map, as if you behold sound waves. This suggests that Philippine Masonry is alive and well, with the noble deeds of its members known far and wide within its jurisdiction.
Finally, the 100 years, the cabletow, and the scroll below connote that for a century Philippine Masonry has thrived because of the strength of its members, cabletow, the symbol of our fraternal ties made stronger by our motto (Scroll inscription, In God is All our Trust).
