NARAPHIL ........ the next generation!

"Young turks graduate"
by Capt Rick Sarte

The Liping Maharlika of Bacoor, a Chapter of NARAPHIL, has recently held a commencement exercise for their members who finished their one year Basic Arnis Course inside the school of Little Angels Learning School in Aniban I Subdivision of Bacoor.

Only eighteen aspirants finished the program and hopefully it will double-up next school year. These young aspirants will also be auditioning to the PHILMAT Generation II, the cultural performing arm of NARAPHIL. With the strict guidance from their arnis masters, these young aspirants will hopefully someday become leaders of this organization.

The continuous support of their parents, the Little Angels Learning School administration and the primary sponsor (Chief Engr. Zaldie Franco) will surely attain our goal of establishing the next generation of the PHILMAT.

Ladies and gentlemen, may we have the honor of presenting you the first batch of the Liping Maharlika of Bacoor Arnis Club - "Batch Maliksi 2006". They have successfully passed the Basic Arnis Course given last February at the NARAPHIL Central Gym by Chief Engr. Zaldie Franco and Mike dela Cruz.

The graduates presenting an arnis demonstration for their parents and guests. As Dr. Leo Estepa calls them, "The NARAPHIL next generation".

As the Chief Executive Officer of the Club, I promise to produce more of this young turks for the generations to come. We shall give them all the necessary knowledge and skills so they may pass it to the next generation. We shall also build them into leaders and managers in their own field of endeavors. Our footsteps shall be theirs to follow and open new doors for an avenue of their dreams.

Receive this certificate of completion as a symbol for all the efforts you have done for the year and may it mark as the beginning of your chosen sport. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our benefactors: Chief Engr. Zaldie Franco and my wife, Christy (CEO of the Little Angels Learning School) for making this project successful.

An arnis demonstration by the two senior intructors to the delight of the graduates. Showing their skills for them to emulate and aspire. May this graduate achieve more of what we have done for arnis and NARAPHIL.

Our Congratulations!!!
