PHilipino Silat

That is a very broad topic. 
Could you give us some ideas as to what you would like to talk about? Silat is an indonesian words meaning "fighting" or "self-defense". It is often used generically in that region of the world, much like "karate" is used generically in the US.
There are over 1000 types of Silat found in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The applications range from dance to combat, the influences are very wide ranging.
Are you interested in studying Silat?

Well Im looking to have contact with people who actually are learning Silat in the PH, and maybe get in contact with them...
I know or listen about the tausug in the South of the PH... .
What I know is that Moslems are still learning and teaching it but if they teach foreigners is another story...

Yea , you can also walk in the streets of Manila or another city in another country and find everything awfull if nobody takes you to the right places....
Karl,
My school takes regular trips to Indonesia and the PI to train. I'm not sure if my instructors can help but I don't think they would mind if you ask them. You are welcome to use my name as a referral if you like.
