A group of  Korean children  whose mothers are Filipinos called on Negros  Oriental  Gov. Emilio Macias, II  and  Vice  Gov. Jose Baldado  recently.

Macias said the children belonging to the Geumsan Multicultural Family Support Center in Geumsan, Korea were interested to learn about the culture of the province.

The children were toured in the Sildlakang  Negros Village,  Silliman  University-Dumaguete City campus and other tourism destinations  in  the  province.

Rev. Min Woo, who brought the children to the Philippines, said they hope to arrange a culture exchange between Korea and Philippines.
