The head of the system is Master Alberto Dacayana or 'Jun' to his friends began with his studies in Eskrima with his late Grand Father Dalmacio "Enciong" Alicaway at the age of just 8 years old! Jhun has also studied various Martial Arts including Karate (Okinawan style) under the tutulage of his father's best friend, Grandmaster Winnie Delarosa, Traditional Tai-Chi under the tutulage of Grandmaster Tan as well as with Boxing under the guidance of his uncle Rolando Dacayana.
In 1990 Jun continued to develop his training in Eskrima under the direction of his father Grandmaster Alberto Dacayana Sr in the MigSuneDo style of Eskrima.
Jun's reputation has continued to grow and he was recognised as an Eskrima Master at a relatively young age. Here is an excerpt from a letter written to Jun from Grandmaster Ondo Carburnay of Lapunti Arnis De Abanico:
The letter says "....now you have become a Master in spite of your youth, I salute you. Jun keep up the good work and share all that you have learned only with your chosen and most deserving students. Strive to live your everyday as a happy, upright and desirable person that your father expects you to be. I wish you were my own son! I would have been very proud of you as I watched you grow."
More recently Jun has evolved the style to become the Dacayana Eskrima System which is now becoming established in Cebu City as well as in Europe and the UK.
