Philippe E. Balmant
Gen 8""inho" is a common suffix in the Portuguese language, usually used to pronounce someone's name in an endearing manner. "Philzinho" is an adaptation of this rule. The name was started by fellow MGA instructor Paul Schriener, who came up with "Philzinho" as a play on Balmant's American name (Phil) and his Brazilian heritage."
