Well there is no official record of the transition, save for one phone call in 1989 after I returned from the Philippines, in a conversation with my first teacher, he questions me on what I did to those people in Cebu. I became very apologetic and replied that I didn't know. His next comment was that they were still talking about me six months later, and it was all positive. It was here that he suggested a name for what I do. And we began to discuss what we should call it. We both of us agreed on the name, "SinaTirsiaWali". May / June 1989.
