Mga pippapips sa tourna.

There is one thing that unites this much crowd. It’s our shared passion and love for arnis, that cannot be given any monetary or material equivalent, as it enriches our souls, not our pockets.
Masters, Dayangs, Coaches, Trainers, Teachers, Parents, Martial Artists, Sportsmen gather here in the noise, in the heat, in the fire. and then we all go home tired, jouyous in victory or sad in defeat, but as long as there is arnis, WE WILL BE BACK. We will see each other again and again.

Maraming salamat, at Pugay po sa lahat!

Hanggang sa susunod na tournament,
