He has toured from San Francisco to San Diego with PaaMano Eskrima and Performing Arts, sharing the natural treasures, historical figures and martial arts culture of the Philippines. He and his family believe in giving back and helping nature so they dedicated their California tour to raising awareness for the critically endangered spices, the Haring Ibon or the Philippine Eagle. Roland brought the Haring Ibon to life for audiences all over California.
