my grandfather was taught by native filipino but sad to say he never taught his kids, only my grandmother.

Oliver. Whom do you refer to when you say only 5 carry his legacy mate. As you kno..I am one another is Jan Jan, Shelly, Ben, Kuya Alex, Mark Santos, Dante, ....I count dozens ...

[@jamgabawa9431]

@My Budo, I think he said "we're only part of his legacy", not "5 carry his legacy," brother. No offense, by the way.

@@jamgabawa9431 really ?... not how I heard it.. how many people were not around while GGM was alive compared to how many pop up after his death..there is only one representative of GGM, and that is his son jan Jan, all of us fall behind that and are GGMs legacy. As is the nepotism of filipino arts..

@@MyBudo You are entitled to your own opinion, brother. I respect what you've heard. I rest my case, but my respect for FMA will forever be. Have a great one.
