On May 29, 2008, Francis Solon Balo tied the knot with Indira Bianca Nunez.

 Krystal had 2 violin teachers before which, sad to say, did not meet my expectations. I was looking for a new violin teacher for my daughter and was given few names to choose from. I opted for Francis for 2 reasons, 1) studio is accessible, 2) he is really good .

Krystal started playing music at age 9 as a member of YLAC's Rondalla club.

Krystal plays the guitar too.

 Krystal is a Grade 7 student at Mandaue City School for the Arts. Violin and Choir for her Arts.

Krystal Eulaflor Llenos Jayme - the student.

Francis Solon Balo - the mentor.
