The Masonic Lodge played a significant role in shaping the Philippine independence movement during the Spanish and American colonial periods. Masonic lodges provided a platform for Filipino intellectuals and revolutionaries to organize and create networks of support for their cause. Many notable figures in Philippine history, including Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio, were members of Masonic lodges, which served as centers for political discussion, education, and agitation for reform and independence.
Yes (and no kinda) yes, because to be a member of a traditional, regular and recognized Masonic lodge you must me Male. No, because there are what are known as irregular or Clandestine lodges that include in their lodge, elements not in line with the ancient and established traditions of Free Masonry. A big no-no in any regular lodge is to initiate a women as a Mason. However, there are many clandestine lodges out there that do confer Masonic degrees on and make women Master Masons. There are coed and all female lodges all over the USA and in Europe. As far as any regular Grand Lodge is concerned these women are not really masons and Members like myself from recognized lodges are forbidden from having any Masonic contact with clandestine lodges and their members.
Unlikely. There are very very few Masonic Lodges in North America which admit women.
