Grandmaster Benjamin Luna Lema<br />

Birthday Celebration<br />

March 18, 2007<br />

UP Diliman Vanguard, DMST Complex, Classroom 1<br />

Each year a gathering of Grandmaster Lema’s Lightning Scientific Arnis<br />

International instructors and students gather to celebrate his Birthday. A inner group<br />

tournament is held, with demonstrations, luncheon, and finally a cake cutting ceremony.<br />

This is an excellent opportunity for all to get together and remember the man who<br />

passed on his art to them. It is a sad but joyous time; sad that Grandmaster Lema has<br />

passed away, joyous that his art lives on.<br />

The event started with Master Felipe Bot Jocano with an opening prayer, then<br />

Grandmaster Vincente Sanchez leading the group in the Philippine anthem. Mrs. Patty L.<br />

Caballero (Grandmaster Lema daughter) then said a few words to the assembly. Masters<br />

in attendance were introduced.<br />

Referee, judges, and participants<br />

An inner member tournament was the first<br />

event. Followed; by Grandmaster Vincente<br />

Sanchez, Master Romeo T. Santos and Master<br />

Lemio Romy Valleno demonstrating the art.<br />
