This issue of SIKARAN TALIBA is dedicated to one of the most active regions of the World Sikaran Brotherhood of the Philippines - Region V, popularly known as the Bicol Region.
Known in the political map of the Philippines as REGION V, it is made up of six provinces,
namely Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Masbate, and Sorsogon. The
region has 7 cities, 107 municipalities with 3,471 Barangays. Legazpi City is the regional center.
5
As of the Census of 2010, the population of the Bicol Region is approximately 51/2 million. In
the pre-Historic times, the region was known as Ibalon.
Whenever the term Bicol Region finds its way in any conversation in the Philippines, or
anywhere in the presence of Filipinos, the first thing that comes to mind is Mayon Volcano.
There are several active volcanoes in the Philippines, but the most famous is Mayon
Volcano. Mayon rises about 8,100 feet above Albay Gulf and has very steep upper slopes
capped by a small summit crater. Several towns have been devastated by the frequent eruptions
of the volcano. The eruption in 1814, reduced the Cagsawa Church into ruins. Presently only the
church tower is standing.
In the eruption of 1897, which lasted for seven days, the village of Bacacay was
buried under almost 50 feet of lava. In the Municipality of Libon, about 100 people died
of suffocation or were buried under rock fall or lava.
6
Mayon Volcano is the main
landmark of the Province of Albay
and is geographically shared by the
eight cities and municipalities of
Legazpi, Daraga, Camalig,
Guinobatan, Ligao, Tabaco,
Malilipot, and Santo Domingo. Like
the other volcanoes around the
Pacific Ocean, Mayon is part of the
Pacific Ring of Fire. It is located on
the eastern side of Luzon, near the
Philippine Trench (Deep).
There are other volcanoes in
the region. They are Mount Isarog,
Mount Iriga, Mount Malinao, Mount
Masaraga, Pocdol Mountains, and
Bulusan Volcano in the Province of
Sorsogon, . As we go to press,
Bulusan Volcano and Mayon
Volcano are showing signs of
eruption.
Agriculture is the number one
economic component of the region
with rice and corn as the chief
seasonal crops. Commercial fishing
is the number two economic
component, followed by the
permanent crops coconut, abaca,
banana, coffee, and jackfruit.
Tourism is also on the rise
causing the construction of several
upscale resorts. The completion of
the Southern Luzon International Airport is hoped to further boost tourism in the region.
The active volcanoes in the Philippines (Name in RED). Mayon is the most
popular. Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991, Mayon Volcano in August 2014, Taal
Volcano in 1977, Canlaon (also spelled Kanlaon) in July 2006, Mount Ragang in
1916, and Hibok-Hibok in 1951.

BRIEF HISTORY OF SIKARAN IN BICOL
By: Mantas Dalubhasa Elpidio Seletaria, Jr.
8th Degree Black Belt
World Sikaran Brotherhood International Coordinator
As narrated by
Xavier Paje
The word “SIKARAN” literally means kick. It is an original martial art of Filipino foot
fighting that is unique in the Filipino culture. It originated in Baras, in the Province of Rizal. It is
now taught in every corner of the Philippines and even in other countries. However, how did it
become to be so popular in the Bicol Region?
In the 1960's, the martial arts of Judo and Karate were becoming very popular. An active
Judo-ka, member of the Philippine Amateur Judo Association (PAJA) and self-taught Karate-ka,
named Romeo Paje, was not only sports-minded, but also high-spirited. He dreamed of making
the Bicol Region famous not only because of Mayon Volcano but also as the martial arts capital
of that part of the country.
Paje established a backyard gym where he invited the martial artists in his community to
train and teach the youngsters of the neighborhood. Through the several like sports-minded
people who returned to the region from other parts of the country and the world, they brought
with them their experience in the martial arts. Some brought back Karate. Romeo Paje was so
interested in Karate he contacted as many practitioners of Karate in Bicol as he can. He and a
good friend named Ernesto Parian, also a Karate enthusiast formed the Kapisanang Karate ng
Guinobatan, together with other Karate practitioners like Jaime Ardales and Jun delos Angeles.
When Romeo Paje moved to Manila for a job venture, he left leadership of the group
under Ernesto Parian.
In Manila, Romeo Paje sought further instruction and in his search, he met Emmanuel
Querubin, Jaime Geronimo, and Captain Meliton C. Geronimo at the headquarters of the Karate
(Sikaran) Brotherhood of the Philippines in Pasay City. He trained diligently and earnestly in
Sikaran. Paje learned all he can, not only the techniques of the art, but also the manner in
which technical details are treated and how the basic physical movements are used in a method
of accomplishing a desired aim.
9
Paje affiliated his group, the Kapisanang Karate ng Guinobatan, with the Karate (Sikaran)
Brotherhood of the Philippines. While training under Captain Meliton Geronimo, Paje learned
about Sikaran (the Filipino style of foot fighting). The more Captain Geronimo explained
Sikaran to Paje, the more intrigued he became. Paje learned that although Sikaran was similar to
Karate, it was purely a Filipino art, born and bred in the Town of Baras, in the Province of Rizal.
Captain Geronimo further explained to Paje the use of the term Karate (with Sikaran in
parenthesis), in order to join the Asian Karate Association, which considers Sikaran as a style of
Philippine Karate, as it does Tang Soo Doo as a style of Korean Karate..
Like all the members of the Karate (Sikaran) Brotherhood of the Philippines (KBP), Paje
was comfortable in learning Sikaran, while being identified as a member of the KBP. His move
to Manila paved the way to a better understanding of what needs to be done to make the Bicol
Region the martial arts capital, in that part of the country.
While in Manila, Paje attended all the seminars, clinics, tournaments, and martial arts
events that he can. He wanted to learn the mechanics of as many events as he can. He visited as
many private clubs and schools as he was allowed to. He knew that in order for the Bicol Region
to be the Martial Arts Capital in that part of the country he needed to invite martial artists from
various regions to demonstrate their skill. He needs to be innovative, creative, and cutting-edge.
Using the Kapisanang Karate ng Guinobatan as the platform, Paje slowly but surely learned the
lessons he needs to learn. He worked on programs based on the people he can count on towards
the end that he had in mind. From a small classroom body of students meeting regularly to study
the same subject, Paje expanded the group to have their own provincial associations, which led
to the Bicol Regional Martial Arts Association, which later became Kapisanang Sikaran ng
Bicol. When the political map of the Philippines was formed, Bicol Region became known as
Region V.

In 1965, Romeo Paje tested his knowledge of organizing a seminar by inviting Captain
Meliton Geronimo to put up a Sikaran seminar in the Bicol Region. Paje invited the members of
the Kapisanang Sikaran ng Bicol in this first martial arts seminar. Members from the different
member-provinces attended this 3-day seminar. This seminar was not only successful, it was
very impressive. Supremo Meliton Geronimo was accompanied by Bernard Belleza, newly
crowned Heavyweight Gold Medalist of the Asian Karate Association, Jaime Geronimo (Meliton
Geronimo's younger brother), and Emmanuel Querubin Presidential Assistant for Research and
Standards.
When Captain Meliton Geronimo and his entourage arrived at the Legazpi City train
station, martial arts-uniformed members of the Kapisanang Sikaran of Bicol were lined-up all the
way to the City Hall where they were officially presented with the Key to the City.
The first day of the seminar was very busy but limited to introductions and picture taking.
Captain Geronimo, demonstrated the techniques of Sikaran, while Emmanuel Querubin lectured
the participants in the origin and history of Sikaran. Some have heard of Sikaran, but were not
aware that it was an art that originated in the Philippines.
At that time, Breaking Techniques was an important part of the Karate Brotherhood of
the Philippines. Supremo Meliton Geronimo demonstrated his flying kick techniques and the
different breaking techniques using biyakid, the signature kick of Sikaran. He also demonstrated
the proper technique of breaking concrete blocks, tiles, and stones. For his part, Bernard Belleza,
displayed his skill in using his head for breaking concrete tiles.
This seminar was followed by several other seminars and gatherings. When Romeo Paje
and his associates felt that they were ready, they held an election to name the people who will
lead them in the different aspects of the association.
The Kapisanang Sikaran ng Bicol (KSB) was formally approved and recognized by the
Karate (Sikaran) Brotherhood of the Philippines. Jaime Ardales became the first Regional
Director in the Bicol area, followed by Jun de los Angeles for a short span of time, then came
next the term of Rafael Rebua in 1972. With the coordination and effort of Romeo Paje, their
first achievement was the holding of First Bicol Provincial/Regional Karate Tournament on
December 27 & 28, 1969. The said successful event was held at Republic Colleges, Guinobatan ,
Albay. Within the succeeding years, Sikaran Tournaments and exhibitions were regularly held in
different festivities in the region.

In 1980, Romeo Paje got his new job assignment in Legazpi City, he opened schools for
students, giving him another way of fostering the growth and development of the Sikaran in the
region.. He was unanimously elected by the members as the new Regional Director, the position
he held until 1991. On the same year, he organized the Kapisanang Sikaran ng Bicol (KSB).
Since then, he continued to promote and propagate the art of Sikaran. Every year thereafter the
organization conducted Instructor’s Training Seminars, Arnis Training Seminars, written and
practical examinations for promotion and Leadership Training workshop. Through the efforts of
Romeo Paje, Sikaran become very famous and popular in the Region especially among the
youth. In 1989, the Kapisanang Sikaran ng Bicol hosted the 31st National Sikaran Championship
Tournament at Bicol College Gym, Daraga, Albay. The event was participated by WSBP
members coming from the 12 Regions of the Philippines.
At present, there are 36 active member Clubs duly affiliated with the World Sikaran
Brotherhood of the Philippines. The master list has duly registered 379 Blackbelts in the region.

BALANGKAS NG KAMPANA
PATTERN OF THE BELL OR 4-DIRECTIONS PATTERN
The Balangkas ng Kampana (Pattern of the Bell), derived its name for the 4-directions of attack,
which like the bell will ring no matter what part you hit. Another reason that is known only to
those who are close to Meliton Geronimo, Kampana (Bell) is the nickname given to him by his
SIKARAN masters to herald his birth. He also has the ability to hit multiple opponents when
surrounded.
When Balangkas ng Kampana were first adopted the only techniques were the five basic kicks,
the PILATIK (front kick), the SIPAKOT (roundhouse kick), the PADYAK PATAGILID (side
thrust kick), the PADYAK PATALIKOD or SIPANG KABAYO (back thrust kick) and the
BIYAKID (spinning heel kick). Incorporated in each balangkas are open hand blocks and other
hand techniques. A kicking block SIPAKAN (crescent kick), is also incorporated. There are 5
Balangkas ng Kampana, which are performed in both right-handed and left, handed- fighter
orientation. For variation, some enterprising instructors incorporated various hand and leg
techniques in different sequences but still called it Balangkas ng Kampana
