Dear Greg,  Greetings,
Thanks for your e-mail.I wish  you  also good health and many more years of your dedications will be rewarded in due time.

You have all the reason to communicate directly to me because between you and me we had the beginning and that beginning was not enjoyed by anybody. Whatever,
the result of many years of absence, the foundation of our relaltionship was more than anything else.  Actually, many got jealous of you because they wanted to get close to me as you were close to me. Billy had this notion that he can be close to me to grab the opportunity, but that is not the end of the philosphy and the culture which  is ours.

Actually greg,we have no differences, it is just because of some greed that comes between us that made someone took the opportunity. No matter what you do the elements of the  things you do comes back to me and that is the thing you cannot forget neither i will disown that. As a matter of fact the pekiti tirsia Germany/ Europe is
the fruit of your labor and the blade fighters, Guild of Tom Sotis. So, remember that when things are to be reckoned with, what ever happens we can still continue
our relationship like the old, old days. We are already matured and responsible enough to realize that forgiveness is the price of happiness and of course your skill to propogate the art as an FMA must be recognized.

This Novemebr is the biggest event in the Philippines. Now the government recognize the importance that the art will help the economy of the country and because of this   we spearhead the movement by having the WORLd KALI GRANDCHAMPIONHIP, SPONSOREDBY THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT, DEPT. OF TOURISM , ARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINES AND THE PHILIPPINE SPORTS COMMISSION. I want you to be present because the President of the Philippines and the many dignitaries will attend the event. Tom Sotis will be the Chairman of the Knifefighting division. Awards will  be given and promotions will be given personally by the President of the Philippines. Her Excellency Gloria M.Arroyo and the SEc. of Tourism Richard Gordon.

You come because I will present to you your official authority of the SINATIRSIAWALI  and your special award for the 30 years of hard achievement in the promotion of the FMA. I have the power to elevate your credibility so that the  world will recognized you  as the true master of the art.You know Greg it is about time that you can lead the changes in the UNited States in so far as the true practices of the art.

Because of your ability to encourage people and your skill to win friends and influence people. Sooner we will be in the world sports, and I want you to be with
 me wherever and whenever we make the world go round.If  I can bring others to go with me into the highestpedestal of achievements, why can't I bring you when
had made sacrifices with me in new York and many places. I  only want people who can stand before anyone and fight. One thing you will not find Billy
under my blessings.

So, let me know your plans and your plkan to bring people and I will accomodate you. But i want you todirectly deal with me and nobody else.

My best reagards and God Bless.

GRandtuhon Gaje

Greetings Leo:
Thank you for the time to digest your lasts emails.  Our continued relationship in promoting the Philippine Martial Arts has always existed, dispite what others have said, about me, about Billy and about you.   I have always been by your side, since the beginning and have continued to be by your side even behind your back and everyone elses.  May I remind you we recite the following before and after each class, here it is verbatum:

"We are a circle, equal as one, with no beginning and no end. This is the art and science of human life, we call SinaTirsiaWali.

So I need your help to promote you publically:  What ever you may prepare in the future is fine.  What I need now is:  A web page on your website and on Uli's of the following. It is Pekiti Tirsia. It never was Pekiti-Tirsia.  I have given Uli use of PekitiTirsia.com already.  The entry goes right to him. A promotion to Master.  Not that I am, but others have heard you discredit me. A press release to everyone of only these details.
