Reply to /r/titanfall thread "Is Ryan Lastimosa a Filipino...."

Yes, I'm a full blood Ilocano. I was born and raised in San Diego, but my family is from Ilocos Norte. The Lastimosa Armory patch is a combination of where I grew up, Chula Vista, CA, and my heritage. The Brockhaurd Manufacturing logo on Titan weapons is also a nod to the Philippine flag. The bolo knife represents the fictional "arms division" of that manufacturer.
