[August 17, 2012]
My warmest greetings to the Modern Arnis Mano-Mano Filipino Martial Arts, and my heartfelt congratulations to your head and chief instructor, Punong Lakan Garitony Nicolas on the publication of your book, Arnis—National Sport and Martial Art (Republic Act 9850).
We in government continue to uphold the significance of sports in our society. This field enhances among our people the sense of leadership, along with the values of passion, excellence, teamwork, and discipline. It is also in this milieu that we restore the Filipino’s distinction in the global community, in terms of our highly skilled athletes and our distinct sports genres. May this book serve to inspire more of our citizens to engage in sports, particularly arnis, as these skills serve as impetus in our shared task of sustaining our gains in this era of daylight.
Together, let us share the light of our success with every Filipino, as we remain steadfast in building a just, peaceful, and progressive nation.
(Sgd.) BENIGNO S. AQUINO III
