Grateful to share time with @shorty.vasquez ! He was one of my original crew in Southern California nearly 15 years ago, and I’m so honored to have helped introduce him to The Art of the Blade. I remember sharing the wise words that Tuhon @patrick_consing once spoke to me, “do not be a victim to circumstance!” He took those words to heart, and since then I have had the privilege to witness this brother’s dedication, commitment and loyalty to the Tribe and I could not be more proud of the father, husband and friend that he is today. Gumagalang!!!
Transformers Earthspark features a Filipino and Black family. Through the show, Dr. Malto fries lumpia and burns embotido because he has no foil, he talks about his Lolo and the mythical creature known as the wakwak, and Bumblebee learns about our Filipino Martial Arts. There is also a poignant moment, where Dr. Malto yearns to share his culture with a son who chooses to play video games. I know there is some controversy about the show, but for me, a practitioner of Kali, a Transformers enthusiast and a father, I appreciate it. #transformers #filipino #earthspark #transformersearthspark #filipinomartialarts #filipinoculture #filipinodad #filipinoamerican
