No he was not a one of the minority groups. (I guess your referring to muslim?) He was a Catholic and Chavacano. Was a soldier, and knew many of the traditional dances like the singkil, and also did a dance that had a shield with little bells, where he would squat very low, and tap the shield with a bolo, while using square pattern footwork. He loved boxing, and cockfighting. He immigrated to the big island of Hawaii (Kona side) in I believe around the 60's, though I will check again.
