Thumbs up You are correct.

Thank you, you are correct, it is worth more then we can pay at any time. As my teacher once said to me, "If it saves your live just once, how much is it worth?"

Although in America we place value on something that costs money, be it training or whatever. I've always given to my teacher the same, respect, loyalty to him and his family. When I have, sometimes a few dollars, sometimes a meal, sometimes the sweat to promote these arts and sciences. Although I too don't have much, and by the grace of my Filipino wife, I survive by our choice to be together, always give back, that's why I encourage travel to the Philippines, I've been a dozen time, and worked briefly with Great Grand Master Ben Lema, and recently give is autographed book to his relatives in Las Vegas last year.

I'm also planning a trip to Manila and Cebu arriving May 7th we'll be staying in Makati for one week while my wife visits her father. Hope we get to meet then. regards, Greg
