"When I chose to live the bboy life it made a good impact in me. Even though people at time were so concerned and bothered about me, that-it will not do me good and even sometimes what’s even worse is when they criticize me and don’t give appreciation to this dance I loved, it made me love it even more 'cos I know deep inside its making me a better person, realizing that dance is like life and vice versa. It made me work harder and focus on things I want to achieve, to become a positive spark for people around me. It began to be an inspiration, a portal to that deeper side of me."

"I  think to be a great bboy must start in the depths of the mind, to form your own structure of movement from what is handed from the past by the masters and be the master of your own…"

CL is known for his bountiful knowledge of hip hop styles but, all would agree, krump is CL's main mode of expression. CL and Krump is like love and marriage. Leader of the breakdance crew "Floor Geeks" and currently part of Krumpinoy, CL is more than happy to share his love for dance with anyone who wishes to partake in it.

XFX. I started dancing seriously back in 2003 under the tutelage of Joshua Zamora (MNVRS) & Jerome Dimalanta (UP Street Crew).
