Today, we celebrate and commemorate the Heavenly Birthday of our beloved Supreme Grand Master, Dionisio “Diony” A. Cañete. 🕊

We remember his unwavering dedication, passion, and deep love for Eskrima. Through his knowledge and teachings, he shaped not only the art but also the lives of countless individuals. His influence continues to guide us not only as practitioners, but as Eskrimadors.

His exemplary leadership of Doce Pares and WEKAF was marked by compassion, humility, and genuine kindness. His selflessness was evident in the many lives he help uplifted and transformed—giving freely and expecting nothing in return. He embodied true leadership and loyalty, standing firm in his commitment to his students and the organization he nurtured.

While in his absence in this world may test memory and loyalty, and some may choose to forget or even dishonor and show disloyalty to his name and Legacy, we remain steadfast in upholding the truth and loyalty to his Legacy.

Today, and always, we honor his life by continuing to follow his teachings, uphold his values, and protect the Legacy he built.
We will never forget your kindness, your wisdom, and your leadership.

SGM Diony, your legacy lives on!
Mabuhay ang Doce Pares! 🇸🇽
