GenSan’s Grandest Tuna Festival Yet
Oct 12th
Noted for its yellow-fin tuna, General Santos City or GenSan to its residents, is the Philippines’ Tuna Capital being the largest producer of export-quality, sashimi-grade tuna in the country. Every September, the city celebrates the Tuna Festival as an homage to the industry that drives and sustains its local economy.
For two years now, I have personally experienced GenSan’s Tuna Festival and I must say that every time, the festival gets better and grander but not necessarily ostentatious. Credit goes to the local government of GenSan and the city’s chamber of commerce.
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.
