IMAFP-Panay Chapter
The island of Panay in Western Visayas is home to some of the most active Arnis practitioners in the Philippines. One will also find here the roots of many Filipino martial arts. Many of the Filipino masters came from Panay and the neighboring island of Negros (birthplace of Modern Arnis Grandmaster Remy Presas). It is no wonder then that IMAFP chapters thrive in these island provinces. In Panay, IMAFP is even blessed with the strong support of local government, namely the governors, mayors and baranggay chairmen.
Panay, together with Negros, was once the sugar capital of the country. When in the early 1980s the price of sugar in the world market nose-dived, Panay was severely affected. And yet, slowly but surely, her economy is now on the road to recovery. These days, aside from exporting the so-called old reliables - sugar, copper concentrates, and prawns, Panay is gearing to be a more diversified agro-industrial center.
In 1989, Western Visayas - which includes not only the Panay Island provinces, but also the province of Negros Occidental - was cited as one of the growth areas in the country.
IMAFP-Iloilo Chapter
On July 17, 2004, the IMAFP-Iloilo Chapter gave an exhibition to an enthusiastic crowd at the Robinson Mall in Iloilo City. The project was in support of the new movie "Mano-Mano". The practice of holding martial arts exhibitions in Philippine malls have become a trend throughout the country, as this is an easy venue to attract hundreds, even thousands, of admirers and prospective martial artists.
