Maharlika Celebrants for December

Maharlikan

Celebrants for December

Noel

23 December

A gentleman who is fondly called "Weh" by the ladies of Maharlikans. The most reliable and dependable comrade, who possess an awesome diplomatic skills, never run-out of jokes most of the time and who never ceases everyone of his talent not only in arnis or other martial arts but technical things that comes out in every event the PHILMAT encounters. Regardless of they maybe electrical, mechanical, computer or otherwise including the skills of diplomacy in dealing problem of disputes or troubles - HE IS THE MAN!

Being an engineer with a hobby of photography, probably he has developed that leadership skill innate of himself that gave him a meticulous touch in every event undertaken by the Maharlika, from the big picture of the event to the slightest detail of that activity. He thinks all of that planning, which makes him the big man behind the scene - HE IS THE MAN!

As a PHILMAT member, he possesses the skills and expertise in the use of bladed weaponry to the awesome of the spectators. He takes the lead role together with his sparring buddies Bro Andy for the "ARNIS-SIKARAN", Bro Ariel for the "SABIR" and Bro Vigieh for the FINALE performance - "BURONG TALO"! He also has the skills in the use of the "Nunchakos" and the most popularly known weapon in Batangas, the "BALISONG"! He is the making of "Bruce Lee", but only the duplicate - HE IS THE MAN!

When he migrated to Canada ten years ago, even though he possesses a good government position at his age, it was for a good reason! Though his absence from the Maharlika was a big impact from our activities, his ideas and style of management produce a lot of following from the ranks! Every now and then, he stills comes around for a visit to see what progress he has done for the Maharlika - we never failed him because .......................... HE IS THE MAN!

Every year on the 23rd day of December, the Maharlikans never failed to miss a reunion even though it wasn't her "Foundation Anniversary", but because it is the BIRTHDAY of .................... "Weh" - HE IS THE MAN!

Why he is called the MAN?

He is Emmanuel, that's why!!!




Happy Birthday Bro!



We miss you!!!

Everybody was awed when you suddenly left for abroad, which we also think you never expected that sooner but we always know for a very good reason. Your leadership style and that diplomatic skills you left us was a very big plus factors in our experience in managing Maharlika and our own businesses. You are a very kindhearted person who never runs out of money to lend someone else in dire of needs or even give it for a cause!

You are really the man!




Happy Birthday Again UTOL!

From all of us!!!

Maharlika Celebrants for December

Maharlikan

Celebrants for December

December was the most celebrated activities of the year among the Maharlikans, not only the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ, but two very special people who made up the Liping Maharlika - NOEL and VERIONG!



Two people of awesome skills in diplomacy, which we suggest that they should have been a good ambassador for our country! He! he! he! Well, that's true and their numerous friends, associates, their big bosses and even their lowly rank-and-files can attest to that!

Both possesses skills in arnis and have been with the Maharlika since 1973 (it was still called Maharlika Arnis Sikaran Association). They are one of the pillars of Liping Maharlika and both worked out their ways into what they are now!



Let me talk first about ........................ VERIONG!



He is a very studious student who studies and worked hard for his living and schooling. He joined the arnis group out of his curiousity about it in the Summer 0f 1973 at Nayong Pilipino. From thereon, he began to love it and had a lot of fun being a member and showed a lot of skills specially in exhibitions. His experience in acting with the Nayong Pilipino Drama Guild gave credence to his ability to express the art to his audience. He was the handy man for everybody and like his compatriots "Weh" he shares a lot of jokes to the satisfaction of everybody no matter how corny they are!



Mind you this, he never drinks with anyone, EXCEPT with the Maharlikans which I love to see when he got drunk because he loves to embrace the toilet bowl! But, Oh S.... how I hate it afterward because I'll be the one doing a lot of cleaning! He! he! he!



But still everybody enjoys his company because we never run-out of food or go hungry. He is dependable very reliable whenever we run-out of money to buy food, he'll just use his motorbike and ....... walah! ...... food is overflowing in our conference table! Funny, but he has a lot of friends that he relies on them on his job!



As a policeman, which he really portrays in our arnis exhibitions that also earn a lot of applause in his number - "Umbrella and Police Application", has many untold exploits. One of them was the raid that he commandered that almost cost his life in the death of the Pasay City notorious carnapper which he luckily was wearing a vest. That event has changed his views regarding LIFE, it was his first kill. There were other significant event that he always takes into consideration the life he has to take in order to save others but that is unGodly, so he ask for a reassignment to the Traffic Bureau. He was then assigned to other higher sensitive positions which I probably couldn't write out of bounds.



As years followed, he become more popular with his new career as an international Boxing Referee, Oh by the way, I think he is just a part time policeman! He! he! he! Joke only! He gained prominence with it by having been awarded by the IBF, WBO and WBA as the most promising Boxing Referee and has refereed numerous world title bouts in the lower weight categories. He has been featured several times in television and print media as the "cop with a boxing popularity". What part of the print media that I loved to read and watch the headline every now and then was, the "Smack on the Kisser"!



Though a very busy and careered government officer, he still find time in helping the Maharlika in their arnis promotion. He volunteers to officiate arnis tournaments (local and internationl) for free and teach them also as his contribution to our art and country. We salute you Bro and may you be emulated by our young Turks of your exploits and values!



Well, this is only the introduction to his Biography! Bro can I have the right to author your Biography! He! he! he! Sa December 31 ............ walang indiyanan ha!!!
