Koronadal City, South Cotabato: Setting foot in Notre Dame of Marbel University

Image
This a new building in progress inside the campus. Outside, the renovation is still on-going and we would not have gotten a good view of the school had we not met Ms. Dalia Mesias of the registrar's office of the university. After we finished the Zumba at Rizal Park, we wanted to take a look at the alma mater of some of our friends. While walking along Bonifacio Street, I chanced to ask from a local who also exercised that morning where the Notre Dame of Marbel is. After assuring me that it is just across the street, she asked me why I want to go to the school. I told her, I want to see the school of some of my friends, some went there in high school and another went there for college. Alas, Lady Serendipity ushered us to the right person. The lady whose family is rooted in Bago City, Negros Occidental works in the registrar's office. So, the gate was opened for us. *** A pose in front of the statue of the founder of Notre Dame of Marbel University. Accordin...

Koronadal City, South Cotabato: Playground and Zumba at Rizal Park

Image
WE love this neon green welcome name at the Rizal Park just separated from the Children's playground inside the park with a foot walk. It was fun having selfies in and with each letter of Koronadal. By the way, Marbel is the fond name of Koronadal City and almost all locals use that name for this prosperous city in South Cotabato.  *** Giving you a K! *** The children's slide and climb... *** The adult's exercise machine. Do the Twist! *** The three slides... *** She can't resist the climb and her dad photobombed her! *** We joined the Zumba exercise for about 30 minutes (It has started when we arrived!) *** Do some burning girls! *** The locals were having fun. ***

We booked My Home Trio Dormitel over the cellphone when we left Davao City. We instantly loved the first door opened to us because of the natural light coming from the window and the well-placed bathroom and kitchenette. The place is new as it was only built in 2012 and has wifi connection. It is also near Rizal Park which hosts a morning Zumba as well as the famous Notre Dame of Marbel University in Koronadal City.  Blk. 5 Zone 4, Bonifacio Street Koronadal City, South Cotabato + + Contact Numbers: +63 9228210576 / (083) 520 1619 *** Just ahead our dormitel, the Salvatierra Family hosted a dinner for us  at the Basilio's where we bonded over their tasty dishes. 72 MH Del Pilar St., Koronadal City 083-228-2878 *** Here we are at the second floor of Basilio's where we ate in crossed legs over sumptuous dishes and recalled our fanfares in Iloilo City where our families first met (During graduations only!).
