(Above-below) The first photo was taken during the wake of the late Master Elmer Ybanez. (Left-right) Inside this photo are Master Nathan Dominguez, Master Jon Escudero, Master Artemio Pagarigan, Master Romy Valenzuela and an unknown LESKAS member. Master Artemio passed away in the 2005. Those who love and respect him will sorely miss him. Master Artemio was my brother's first student. The second photo, on the other hand, was taken during the 2001 World Chung Ju Festival. Inside this photo are (left-right) Master Ronald Ramirez, Master Jon Escudero, Mr. Joey Sumilier, GM Benjamin Luna Lema, Mr. Joey Quiriones and Master Nathan Dominguez. It is here that arnis de mano shine in all its glory. The Phil. Delegate became famous throughout South Korea. This became possible because of one man; GM Ben Lema and Master Ronald Ramirez. The famous "dynamic duo" showed to the world the power and beauty of the Filipino martial art of arnis de mano. Without them everything would have been a failure. Note: These photos were taken by the UP LESKAS.
