Survey Time, I have never asked this and I thought I would ask. I am curious as to how many members we have visiting here who are from the Philippines.

A Caucasian born in Washington, D.C.
Raised in Maryland suburbs just next door.
Lived in Miami, Florida for a year.
Been here in Bellevue, Washington (Seattle suburb) for a little over a year.
My Punong Guro (Modern Arnis under Professor Presas) and his wife are Filipino, as are several current, former and occasional students.
All this makes me STILL a Caucasian living in the States. ;^)

Born & raised in Virginia (right out side of Washington, D.C.). Lived in D.C. for 6 years. Lived briefly in North Reading (a suburb of Boston, MA). Now I live in Frederick, MD (a suburb of both D.C. and Baltimore).
I have no filipino ancestry, but my maternal grandfather is 100% Chinese and I'm 25%. Other than that I'm decended from Scotch-Irish-Welsh heritage. In other words ... I'm an ethnic mutt and proud of it

I´m born & raised Graz, Austria, and as far as I know
I don´t have any Filipino relatives, but there were Slowenians, Croatians, Czechs, and even a Greek in my family. I´m currently studying Latosa Escrima, and I think I will go into Modern Arnis as well, a new school has just opened here.
