Once a year a special occasion takes place in Makati City which draws a specific niche of gentlemen from Metro Manila.  The occasion : the annual Negros Trade Fair. 

The niche we are referring to consists of male UP Alumni from the decades of the 70s and 80s.  Their reason for coming : the famous Negrense food like chicken Inasal, KBL (Kadyos, Baboy, Langka), Elsie's Garlic Bread, the paintings of Rodney Martinez, stuff for the home & condo, and...a brief chance to see their college crushes who hailed from Bacolod and Silay.


There are too many of them to name but everyone easily gets the picture.  The Bacolod lasses from St. Scho and St. John's breeze in for a week only during this September event and the gents, well, suffice to say are thrown into an uncanny flashback of Diliman days when they were always in awe of Bacoleña beauty and charm.
