Numeriano Adriano was born in Pandacan, Manila, on July 5, 1846 and died on January 11, 1897.
Adriano was initiated into the mysteries of Masonry on February 1892 adopting the Masonic name "Ipil" at Nilad Lodge and soon after formed Balagtas Lodge in Sampaloc.
As a Mason, he took active part in the formation of the Regional Grand Lodge and was elected vice-president under the Presidency of Ambrocio Flores.
An active officer in the Propaganda Movement that supported Marcelo H. del Pilar’s "La Solidaridad", he and together with his protégé, Apolinario Mabini, organized the "Cuerpo de Compromisarios" specifically to raise funds for the purpose. A very enthusiastic Mason, his home at Nagtahan was a frequent place for the secret meetings of the then banned Masonic Order.
He was executed at Bagumbayan (now Rizal Park) on January 11, 1897 together with Domingo Franco, Moises Salvador, Faustino Villaruel and nine others for alleged complicity in the Philippine Revolution.
