black eye na sad FMA sa cebu because of the now popular near confrontation between the two doce pares factions. dili man jud ko miembro aning duha ka grupo, pero naguol ko sa panghitabo. i mean, these reverred masters are supposed to display tolerance and respect. pero what happened leaves a bad taste in the mouth. maayo unta dili na ni mausab. feeling nako murag na prostitute ang FMA kng nadayon to.

Happy new year sa tanan!

I have discussed with the initiator of this topic (pauwiks) if it would be possible to introduce a sub-topic here. And he is of the opinion that this would be possible as long as it is related to FMA.

We all know that there are certain periods in Philippine History where there are gaps in our collective memory. And so this is where our proposal comes in. We are proposing that we re-construct in the Internet – in this forum – Philippine History from the FMA Warrior’s Perspective.

This would redound to our people’s benefit because we would be creating a database of sorts for future FMA practitioners. Our existence as a people and our history is ensured if we save it here in the Internet.

We will start from the 1990s and work backwards. We welcome any inputs. KALI!!
