Re: War Flag (bgdebuque) --__--__-- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 12:33:21 -0800 From: Ray Terry To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] Best teacher award from Wekaf Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Saturday, February 11, 2006 US-based Cebuano earns best teacher award from Wekaf Sun.Star Cebu CEBUANO Eskrima Master Erwin Mosqueda will finally have his sacrifice pay off as he is set to receive the Instructor of the Decade Award during the Doce Pares Annual Awards, in April at Cornwall City, United Kingdom. The Los Angeles City-based Mosqueda, will take the highest accolade awarded by the world-renowned Doce Pares International. Mosqueda is Doce Pares head instructor in the US, the second highest master in the US after New Jersey-based Master Arnulfo "Dong" Cuesta, who is the World Headquarters Dean of Instructors. Mosqueda, who is from Mambaling, Cebu City, grabbed the award for his dedicated training and propagation of the Filipino martial art since 1977. He learned the basic art from Doce Pares founding president Eulogio Sr., Ciriaco and Felimon Caņete. According to Doce Pares Grandmaster and lawyer Dioniso "Diony" Caņete, Mosqueda bagged the award for his unselfish dedication to the art. "He is multi-faceted. He is a Master, as we all know after dominating and plucking world titles. He knows how to run eskrima tournaments not just here in our country but also in the United States, most specifically the in LA area," said Diony. "And to top it all, Erwin left his family here in Cebu to spearhead the Filipino martial arts' propagation in western America, where a lot of Filipinos live," Diony added. The awards bagged by Mosqueda include National Arnis Team Championships (1988, 1990), First World Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation World Championships (1989, 1994) First Mayor's Cup World Invitational Championships (1994). Mosqueda started to blossom as an event organizer when he became chairman of the organizing council in 1998 (5th World Championship) and 2000 (6th World Championship). Also in 1998, he was the youngest ever to be elected as Doce Pares Board of Director at the age 30. Master Val Pableo, whom Mosqueda bested in the Instructor of the Decade Award, said that he salutes the latter for his dedication. "He is the most courageous among us masters since he was able to leave his family for this art, something which I could not do." Pableo added that Mosqueda is the most sought after instructor in LA. Other masters defeated by Mosqueda were masters Rudy Rey, who was once based in Sacramento and is scheduled to leave for Europe, and London resident Master Danilo Guba. --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 20:45:26 -0500 From: bgdebuque To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: Re: [Eskrima] War Flag Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net There are other sensitivities involved in displaying the Philippine flag in a "state of war" position. Since 1986, whenever Philippine military units mutiny against the national government, they often use the "state of war" position in displaying the Philippine flag in their uniforms, vehicles, camps, presscons, etc. Displaying the Philippine flag in a "state of war" position has, therefore, become synonymous to declaring a state of rebellion against the Philippine national government... =[:->] > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2006 06:59:29 -0800 (PST) > From: ken spartan > To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net > Subject: [Eskrima] War Flag > Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net > > Hello Marc J.: > > ...Guess it does make sense for a martial art school to display a national > flag in it's martial (war-time) state..that is, to symbolize the fighting > arts and nature of the establishment where the flag is carried..thanks for > the advice bro, Maraming Salamat Po. > > Ken --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list Eskrima@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima http://eskrima-fma.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/eskrima Copyright 1994-2006: Ray Terry, MartialArtsResource.com, Sudlud.com Standard disclaimers apply.
