GenSan’s Sydney Hotel
Aug 9th
Everytime I receive a travel invitation to the Tuna Capital of the Philippines from GenSan’s numero uno blogger, Avel Manansala, I can’t help but get excited.
I’ve always had a special affinity to GenSan and its people. This year alone, I’ve been to GenSan at least 4 times already. Of course it helps that GenSan is just 3 hours away from Davao. I don’t think I’ve ever had an unpleasant trip to this wonderful city. There’s also plenty of great hotel offers to choose from, not to mention the delicious food! There’s certainly no shortage of reasons to visit this vibrant area, and I could probably list them all day. But what really makes me keep going back is the experience. Every trip to GenSan is an experience and it is never the same.
Thank You, President Cory

President Cory, you were every Filipino’s beacon of light during our country’s darkest hour and for that we, as a nation, are eternally grateful. Thank you and Farewell!
