You have been given a place among the Datu’s, which is an ancient way of respect and honor to a person who has done noble deeds and given the highest honor and position as one of the Chief. Congrats Datu Kulas/kyle.👍

[@nanterey88]

Great respect to Tausog people... God bless 🙏🙏🤛💪💪💪

[@edzeljereza8234]

Congrats once again Kyle....I think being bestowed an honorary "Datu-hood" is akin to being knighted in the UK. Such a great honor. It's safe to say that we at Becoming Filipino Nation are proud of you. I am 100% sure that your parents are beaming with pride with that title you have been given albeit an honorary one. Mad respect to manong the panday, those are exquisite looking blades especially the leaf shaped one. Great attention to detail with the designs on the blade guard of the kris. I understand how he says the amount of times he spends making those blades sometimes rests on how he feels and his condition. The constant pounding of the metal can take a toll on ones physical stamina once you get up on the years.

[@espph3490]

Congratulations Datu Kulas! Mabuhay ka! Mabuhay ang Filipino! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

[@lyndonbarber2881]

Very overwhelming loved the blade you truly deserve it ❤❤❤

[@youngacal3]

[@eugeniotalion9780]

Wow, salute to Datu Kulas!!! Your humility and charity and love for Filipinos and its culture is more than enough and deserving for the royal title as " Datu" !!! Kudos eh !!!

[@arrowsmind6605]

[@OXDR2225]

Brod..little did you know that even way before this Honorary Title, you have established yourself as a Datu; You harnessed a profound desire to establish a community, grow it, instill in it a "decree" of only positive outlook. Not only that, you unknowingly exercised a datu rule of protecting ( fighting for it) that community from negative external influences, and continue to protect it daily through spreading awareness and preserving its ideals, whether you're from the Cordilleras, the ranges in Canlaon, or the foothills of Apo...our vast cultural differences all became one. In fostering these ideals and holding it true in our hearts, we as a diverse community evolved on to, #becomingfilipino

That was very interesting. It is nice to see how he makes the blades. Not many blacksmith people around anymore and it is not an easy thing to do. He does really nice work and is quiet a character. It is nice you had that honor bestowed to you and the blade will be a good reminder of your time there and the people. It is always nice to learn about traditions in different places. My Philippines adventure will be starting in 3 weeks and I can't wait to get there and start exploring.

Have fun and be safe my fellow Canadian. Did you consider the rainy/typhoon season? Us Canadians try to escape the winter months. I will be there and retire this year but will wait after the rainy/typhoon season is over. Anyways, its part of your adventure.

[@brianbaxter3913]

@@edwinwerdna7061 The way I see it is we have tornados, blizzards, ice storms and more. At least with a typhoon the temp is still warm and not -30 C. Also depends where in the Philippines you are as well some places are better than others. It will be an adventure for sure. Already been 3 times so have a good idea what to expect
