pronounced (new-WELL mag-pan-TIE) a sarcastic and hilarious take on the title of grandmaster in the Filipino Martial Arts particularly in Modern Arnis.
Noel Magpantay appears to be the proper name of an unknown Filipino. The name appeared in the Belt Ranks tab of the Modern Arnis Wikipedia page that said the name "literally means grandmaster" followed by another ridiculous belt rank called "zero degree black belt" pertaining to those in the probationary stage of being a black belt in Modern Arnis.
Magpantay in Filipino actually means "to be aligned" or "to be the same level as". The funny name probably means that a grandmaster in Modern Arnis "to be the same level as" Noel Magpantay who in reality is a nobody.
There is a big possibility that a hacker botched the rank name since Wikipedia is an open information portal.
