DUTIES AND TENURE OF GRAND REPRESENTATIVES

The first duty of the commissioned Grand Representative is to write to the Grand Secretary of the Grand Body which he represents, acknowledging receipt of his commission, thanking for the honor conferred upon him, and giving his correct address.

He should then endeavor to familiarize himself with the history and character of the Grand Lodge he represents and with everything concerning the same, until he shall be the best informed man on the subject in this Grand Jurisdiction.

Grand Representatives are expected to attend each Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of the Philippines and answer the roll call of Grand Representatives, and it is considered a duty of courtesy for each Grand Representative to write to the Grand Lodge he represents that he has attended the Annual Communication, and to convey to it the fraternal greetings of our Grand Master and Grand Lodge, and to communicate to it any information of special interest that there may be.

It is a tacit rule in this Grand Jurisdiction that if any Grand Representative fails to attend three consecutive Annual Communications of the Grand Lodge, the M. W. Grand Master will recommend that he be relieved by another Brother who is apt to be more active.

A similar nomination will be made in case of removal from the Grand Jurisdiction, suspension, or expulsion.
