The Man: His simple beginning
Our Grand Master was born on 11 June 1952 and the 4th in the brood of seven (7) children from the marriage of Juanito Sr. and Encarnacion, both from Iloilo province. His father worked as the Chief of Staff of the late Senator Jose C. Zulueta while his mother was busy rearing the children as a simple and lovely housewife. His father’s fame and achievement did not have any reflection on our soon to be Grand Master. His simple beginning was characterized as a probinsiyano whose colorful memories and happy thoughts were spent selling newspaper, needles, and buttons in the busy streets of the City. He spent his childhood with his playmates in the riverbanks of Iloilo City’s waterways.

Appropriate greetings...
You and I are standing at a crucial juncture—a turning point, if you
will—in our country’s history. There is no doubt as to the greatness
of our nation. Leaders like Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, and
Apolinario Mabini have captured the great Filipino aspirations and
built this country’s foundations with their blood. Yet for the most
part in the last decades, we have moved forward in some kind of
erratic pace. Brilliance is interrupted by vapid progress. Leaps
fizzle out, leaving us plodding along... Does the Philippines really
have what it takes to claim its rightful place among the region’s
tigers?
