Well, we enjoy ourselves in Orlando when we we can. How GM Bobby, I have not talk to him for so long, even to Kapatid Raffy Pambuan. To all FMA in Pinas, Holly Wekks again, visit Paete, Laguna on Holy Wednesday till Good Friday, all Eskrimadores is wearing Roman Soldier, walking around the town and looking for Arnis Match. On Good Friday all of them witll be in Town Plaza, challenging each other to a control Sparring, and the goal is to test their skills without going killing each other. Every one wear Wooden mask to hide their identity, so is a dis-grace to break their wooden mask, to show their face is shameful lost to us Eskrimador, meaning your skill is not good enough. Anyway if you guys in the area, visit Paete, if not see them in TV, they usually televised some of our reenactment of the "Passion of the Christ" in Paete.
