Wonder Boy’s unique gift

By: Kim Atienza

Yesterday was truly amazing.

If you watched our “Matanglawin” TV show on ABS-CBN, you’re probably as amazed as I was, and still am, at this Wonder Boy we encountered.

He is 3-year old Julion Benjamin Dizon, dubbed the Wonder Boy from Pangasinan. At such a young age, he can already read. He can also identify different animals, even the rare ones, and those that are difficult to identify.

He also knows his colors very well and can tell you the flags of the world.

Julion can well be our next Trivia King.

Join us every Sunday, 9:45 am on ABS-CBN and ABS-CBN HD for a round of trivia-filled and fun package on Matanglawin.

You can also watch online viaiwantv.com.ph and skyondemand.com.ph. For updates on the program, follow @MatanglawinTV on Facebook and Twitter.
