hmmm … this may be a bit late … but I’ll do a small analogy … Binitin is located before Murcia town … its actually along the Mansilingan / Murcia border … and that depends on where you’re standing … one side is Mansilingan (technically still part of Bacolod City) … and the other … the town of Murcia …

So …. if you did a little shopping and what-not in the Murcia market … you’d have to turn back towards Bacolod city … to go to Binitin …

Our land is adjacent to Binitin …. bordered by a river .. (I forgot the name .. jeez) … Back then, we would look for wayward golfballs in that river … Yep … Binitin also has a golfcourse.

is that Hacienda Binitin of the Montelibanos in Murcia? They have the crunchiest guava ever! i think those big lomboy that are sold here in Bacolod came from hacienda Binitin too.

Was your breakfast accompanied by Barako or Alamid coffee?

I think that a hearty breakfast, almusal, or agahan is so entrenched in our culture that it almost characterizes us Filipinos. We’ve practically ‘invented’ the proper breakfast lifestyle. But alas, so unknown to non-Filipinos…
