			NOTE HE DID NOT RECIEVE HIS BLACKBELT IN TAEKWONDO FOR THE REASONS OF EMBRACING THE KYOKUSHIN KARATE TEACHING AND METHODS OF TRAINING. HE CONCENTRATED MOST OF HIS TIME AS ACTIVE FIGHTER FROM AGE 15 TO 23. THIS TIME HE PROVES THAT THE KYOKUSHIN POWER STRUGGLE IN TOKYO DIRECTLY AFFECTED HIS PROGRESS, FOR SOME OF HIS TEAM MATES AND FELLOW KYOKUSHIN MEMBERS OPTED TO JOIN THE MUCH STRONGER GROUP WHILE THE CASE IN TOKYO WAS BEING HEARD.FOR THE COMMON GOOD,HE DID NOT TAKE SIDE TO ANY SPLINTERS GROUP UNTIL THE CASE WAS RESOLVE.HIS SHIHAN,WHOM HE RESPECTED MOST JUST LIKE A TRUE FATHER ,TOOK THE KYOKUSHIN GROUP ALL AT THE SAME TIME THAT RESULTED TO BE BRANDED AS TWO FACES.THEY LATER HAD SO MUCH DISAGGREMENTS WITH THEIR OWN FORMER TEAM MATES REGARDING WHICH SIDE TO GO. FINALLY HE DECIDED TO JUST LEAVE THE POLITICS OF TODAYS KYOKUSHIN AND FINALLY PURSUE HIS PERSONAL GOALS IN LIFE WHICH IS CONTINUING AND FINISHING A COLLEGE DEGREE. EVENTUALLY,FOR ALL THE LOYALTIES AND SUPPORTS HE GAVE TO HIS FORMER GROUP AND TEAM MATE,THEY SEPARATE WAYS FOR THE REASONS HE CANT SAY OUT OF RESPECT TO HIS COLLEAGUES AND TO HIS FORMER MENTOR. HE WAS CONFIDENT THAT GIVEN A CHANCE TO IMPLEMENT REFORMS AND EDUCATE MORE THE PRACTITIONERS OF THIS ART WILL ONE DAY BRING THE PHILIPPINES TO ITS RIGHT PLACE TO THE MUCH MORE COMPETITIVE LEVEL OF THIS POWER SPORT.
