What’s up in Kabankalan City

Kabankalan, also dubbed as Pearl of the South, is a charming and progressive city in south of Negros.

The city is noted for its friendly people and unhurried pace of life. It’s now quite easy for Kabankalanons to go to Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental and jump off to Cebu because of the superhighway that connects Kabankalan to the oriental side of Negros.

Edgar and Raquel “Ging-ging” Dizon are certainly lucky to have established themselves in Kabankalan. Ging-ging, an instructor at Fortress College is now busy preparing to take the compre exams for her masters in sociology in Silliman University, Dumaguete City. Edgar is kept busy with his printing jobs which include t-shirts, stickers, posters and streamers and lately the flex signs. There are now several establishments in Kabankalan sporting his outputs. He’s also the sole distributor of Jacob’s purified water in the city.

They’re blessed with four frisky and hyper-active boys. The last attempt to have a girl turned out to be a boy and Ging-ging says enough is enough…no more babies.

Their eldest Jared Ian, 11, will be grade V this coming school year. He’s with the honor roll and was awarded outstanding in co-curricular activities.

Net is Jezreel Ian, 9, grade IV, with honors and an exemplary behavior awardee. The third is Jazer Ian, 7, grade II, 2^nd honor and a leadership awardee.

The youngest is Jeriel Ian, 3, a nursery pupil this coming school year. A multi-talented kid, he entertains people with his songs, dance and recitation…provided you toss him a peso for his bubble gum.

With four super energetic boys, the house is a bedlam on weekends, but then how empty home would be without them.
