Photo shows the Macaraeg brothers Jose Sr, PM of Silverdale Lodge # 311 in Washington State; Ben, PM of Gateway Lodge # 339, Brea, CA; Daniel of Black Mountain Lodge # 854, San Diego, CA; Macario Jr of Cornerstone Lodge #659, Alhambra, CA; Aureo, PM of Peoria Lodge # 31, Peoria, Arizona; and new EA Bro Jose Sia Macaraeg Jr.

"On April 8, 2008, the Macaraeg brothers initiated one of their own into Masonry. Five brothers helped prepare and later welcome nephew and son Jose Sia Macaraeg Jr.

Participating in the very special event, Brother Dad sat in the East while Brother Uncles Ben and Oring sat in the West and South, respectively. Brother Uncle Tik was the Senior Deacon and Brother Uncle Mack Jr. occupied the Senior Steward position.

The five brothers came from five different Lodges and three Grand Lodge Jurisdictions of Arizona, California, and Washington. All the Macaraeg brothers are Senior DeMolays from Teodoro R.Yangco Chapter, with the exception of Jose Sr. who was raised in Lincoln Lodge No 34 in 1963."
