KSEAN CAROLLING 

We are proud of Ksean Francis R. Benemerito who has his own mission of touching the lives of the poorest of the poor families in the Barangays of our hometown during Christmas season. He started his humble way of gift giving in 1997 and vowed to pursue this noble mission every year.

He would organize a small group who would accompany him in singing Christmas carols to the would-be beneficiaries. The poor family on the spot are wondering why they are singled out by a group of carolers while their house obviously speaks for itself that they are in a depressive economic state of life. Naturally, they refuse to entertain the singing group knowing they have nothing to give. In fact, what they have are few pieces of "camote" on their table for food on that night. But in the end, they were given the surprise of their lives when the carolers started handing out a bagful of goodies as a gift for the season which means a few meals to carry on.

Francis R. Benemerito is the son of Francisco T. Benemerito and Salvacion A. Rodriguez.
