A Commitment to Service
The Embassy of the Sovereign Order of Malta in the Philippines warmly congratulates its newly invested members following the solemn Investiture Ceremonies held on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at the Santuario de San Antonio in Makati City. The Holy Mass was celebrated by H.E. Most Rev. Socrates B. Villegas, DD, Grand Cross Conventual Chaplain ad honorem.
We extend our prayers and heartfelt congratulations to:
Rev. Fr. Roderick L. Castro (Magistral Chaplain); Dame Kristina Anna Margarita J. Ong and Dame Armita B. Rufino (Dames of Magistral Grace); and Knight Frederick D. Ong and Knight Emmanuel Brooks N. Ticzon (Knights of Magistral Grace).
An Investiture is a meaningful moment of commitment and a reminder that membership in the Order carries with it a responsibility to serve others, particularly those who are most vulnerable.
Rooted in the Order’s enduring mission of Tuitio Fidei et Obsequium Pauperum, the defense of the faith and service to those in need, this calling asks us to lead with compassion, humility, and a willingness to serve wherever we are needed.
As our newly invested members begin this journey, may they find strength in faith, purpose in service, and joy in helping others.
