Sr. DeMolays who are members of the Leon Kilat Chapter of the International Order of DeMolay in Dumaguete City. The Chapter was established in Dumaguete City on March 1963 under the authority of the International Supreme Council of the Order of DeMolay whose See is in Kansas City,Missouri, USA and sponsored by the Mt. Kaladias Lodge No. 91, F. & A.M.

Leon Kilat is the “Nome de guerre” of Gen. Pantaleon Villegas, a native of Bacong, Negros Oriental, who heroically fought for Philippines independence from Spain. Since its establishment in 1963, more than a hundred had been initiated to the Order. Members of other chapters in the Philippines who came to study in the city’s leading learning institution, Silliman University, involved themselves in the activities of the chapter and became part of DeMolay in the City. Many of them affiliated for chapter membership.

The brethren are now physically separated and living different lives with maybe diverse interests. Many of the brethren have traveled to places where they succeeded in their respective professions. Many have become Master Masons and some had even become Masters of Lodges, even some wore the purple of the Fraternity for a time. Many are even occupying elective positions in their respective communities. Yet, withersoever dispersed, they each have a common memory - the memory of what all brothers and fellows had done who have gone this way before!

For God, for Country, and for DeMolay!
