When I was about fifteen years of age I used to have long conversations with Apung Anong and the following information is from my recollection of these conversations. He did not know his exact birthday. He regaled me with stories about when he was but a young lad during the Spanish times he led a small band of Kapampangan fighters who were engaged in attacking Spanish ships, riding in small fishing boats (bancas). Later on he was converted to Protestantism (Methodist Church) through the efforts of my maternal grandfather, Leon Bungay, who was his good friend and also a leader of another resistance group, and became a Pastor in the Methodist Church in the Philippines. Later on he seceded from the Methodist Church and founded his own church called Iglesia ng Dios. 

He was an arnis (Filipino sword fighting art) champion in Pampanga and he told me a story particularly about an encounter with an arnis champion who was the bodyguard of the Mayor of San Luis, Pampanga, by the name of Lariong Taruc. He was already a Methodist preacher by that time and assigned to the congregation at San Luis.  He was approached by the mayor and asked to test the arnis skills of his bodyguard. Apung Anong agreed so he and Lariong Taruc engaged in an arnis match using arnis canes made of rattan called "muton". The match ended in Apung Anong disarming Lariung Taruc. He was also a jujitsu martial artist who conducted martial arts training for members of police force in Capas, Tarlac. Apung Anong passed on his arnis skills to my father, Katimawan, who also became proficient in the martial art. When I was 15 years old I went to Manila to work and attend university at night. During this period I visited with Apung Anong on a regular basis and he started giving me arnis lessons together with my uncles, Felix Bernardino (husband of my Aunt Minerva) and Jose Yumul (husband of my Aunt Wilhelmina). Upon his death in the mid-sixties the church that he founded gradually fell into decline and it is believed that there are now no known adherents.
