"P.E. Teachers Summer Arnis Training Course"
24 May 1981

This was the 5th Batch of P.E. Teachers undergoing a regular "Summer Arnis Training Course" at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex since NARAPHIL was invited by the (NCPE) National College of Physical Education and presently called Philippine Institute for Physical Education and Sports (PIPES) to handle some of their summer classes in arnis. Messrs. Anacleto Rous and Generoso Martinada were the instructors assigned to handle them since they are both in the field of Physical Education.

Majority of this P.E. Teachers who took part of the program were from the provinces and were expected to conduct the same arnis course program to their respective schools. The huge problem of echoing and monitoring their program was resolved when the "Siglakas Project" came into operation. NARAPHIL Instructors were sent to the different provincial schools where requests for grading/promotions were conducted including some request for the same "Summer Arnis Training Course" in their respective schools or communities.


Although NARAPHIL had never had a huge financial resources to finance most of their projects especially the monitoring and echoing part, they were able to pursue those programs through a good management opportunities and dedicated manpower resources. The continuity of events leading one to the other made the NARAPHIL Arnis Training Program a concrete and most successful arnis promotion program ever handled by an organization that has never been surpassed or duplicated to any present day organization in arnis.
