Kapatirang Manila Lodge No. 8 Independent Order of Odd Fellows 

Kapatirang Manila Lodge No. 8 is part of a global organization dedicated to friendship, love, and truth. We unite men and women from all walks of life through service, solidarity, and shared values—building a stronger community through universal brotherhood.

Who We Are?

We're a worldwide service-oriented brotherhood and sisterhood dedicated to:

The principle of universal fraternity promoting the belief that all men and women, regardless of nationality, race, social status, religion, rank, and station, are brothers and sisters.

About

What are the general purposes and mission of Odd Fellowship?

Ethical

To help improve and elevate the character of humankind by teaching and promoting the principles of Friendship, Love and Truth, as exemplified in the degrees of initiation, and practiced in real life.

Humanitarian

To help make the world a better place to live by aiding each other in times of need, and by organizing and supporting charitable projects and activities that would benefit the less fortunate, the children, the youth, the elderly, the community and the environment in every way possible, guided by our ancient command: “to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan”.

Fraternal

To help promote global peace and understanding among people and nations through the principle of universal fraternity, holding the belief that all men and women regardless of race, nationality, religion, social status, gender, rank and station are brothers and sisters.

The Four Ancient Commands of Odd Fellowship

To visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead, and educate the orphan. These commands guide their charitable and fraternal activities. 

Historically, these commands reflected the needs of communities before widespread social services existed. Odd Fellows lodges would actively provide services like: 

Visiting the sick

Offering comfort and support to those who were ill.

Relieving the distressed

Providing aid to those facing hardship and misfortune.

Burying the dead

Ensuring proper burials for those who had passed away.

Educating the orphan

Providing care and education for orphaned children.
