I never thought that General Santos City has an overlooking place. Indeed I am surprised by the breath taking view and can't help to take picture. This place provides one of the most beautiful and spacious resorts in General Santos, here you can also experience the panoramic view with our large verandas and viewing deck while having coffee and you can feel the Sarangani breeze, we are glad to see you again when you visit us. Experience the best. Experience Mt. Sabrina. HOW TO GET HERE? Via Tricycle you can rent it and tell the driver that you will be going to Mt. Sabrina. #mytripvlog #newyearadventure #travelist #travelist2023 #backpackers #julsdoitnowtours

This is a handy travel guide if you're visiting GenSan and want to check out the nearest spots from their airport. PARADISE to TUNA LOVERS, it is a must to visit their FISHPORT located in Tambler. From the airport, single motorcycles (skylab/habal-habal) may be contracted to bring you at the complex. If you are already in the city proper, take a jeepney from downtown Gensan to Tambler. At the gate, you have to register and present a valid ID. Take note, dress code applies. Those who are wearing slippers, shorts and sleeveless are not allowed. You need to rent out jogging pants and pair of white boots (P20.00) for you to get inside. People here are used to tourist and most of them are accomodating. Second, if you want an excellent food served in a serene hilltop ambience, you must visit the SARANGGANI HIGHLAND RESORTS. Perched on the rolling hills of Tambler, this DINING BY THE SKY overlooks the wide Saranggani Bay, Mt. Matutom and Mt. Parker. Entrance Fee: P100.00 (consumable) If you've never been, you should check it out at least once for curiosity purposes. MAGANDANG GENSAN! io 🔸At tye city center, ride a tricycle going to the fishport for only 20-30 pesos. You can ask the driver to drive you through the entrance, but you would have to pay the 8 pesos entrance fee for tricycle. You can also ask the driver to wait for you but make sure to pay them better 😊 ‼️IMPORTANT NOTES: 🔸Unloading of tuna occurs as early as 5 AM. So you better be early to have a glimpse of the the large tuna's! 🔸There's a strict dress code to promote high standard of cleanliness and safety. No shorts, sando and slippers. And you need to wear a white boots when you get there. There's a boot rental near the fishport which costs 20 pesos. They also sell new socks at 20 pesos, so better to bring your own to save money. 🔸There's a lot of street vendors around the city, have a try of their Pastil (tuna)! It is the native Maguindanaon delicacy which you can see anywhere in the heart of Central Mindanao. A combination of rice and sautéed chicken, fish or beef shreds wrapped in a wilted banana leaf. With just 10 pesos, you're already full with all the side dishes available for free (cucumber, alamang and ensaladang talong). As in sa free side dishes palang busog ka na kahit super onti nung tuna na nsa kanin 😂😂😂 🔸If you want to eat seafood, go to Tiongson Arcade. There's a lot of seafood and bbq stalls there. Of course, your Gensan tour will not be complete without trying their tuna! Tuna panga is also a must try! #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #foodie #awesomepic #

Sometimes, all you need is a change of scenery to be in your best mood. How about another day at the beach? 🚩 BG Beach Resort (formerly Phil Florencia Beach Resort) With its new management, this beach in Maasim is showcasing lots of potential. I love how well-maintained its shoreline and cottages are- clean and sparkling neatly under the golden tropical sun.

General City is the home of the Generals. They got that name when kababayans from Luzon and Visayas under the leadership of General Paulino Santos discovered GenSan, hence the name General Santos. Its name used to be Rajah Buayan in 1948 then named General Santos in 1968 when it attained its cityhood. Glad to have discovered this city and bonus is I have drone shots at night. And the reason why I’m here? is their Tuna! Yes tuna! they’re actually the Tuna capital of the Philippines and has the most freshest and delicious tuna all throughout the country. #foodieheaven#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear

🥊🐟🏝 Boxing, beaches, and the best tuna in the world! In General Santos City, I trained (well… watched) at Manny Pacquiao’s gym, soaked up the sun at Glan Beach with its white sands and clear waters, and tasted the freshest tuna straight from the city’s famous fish port. 🌊🍣 GenSan is pure energy — from the ring to the shore! #GeneralSantosCity #PacmanGym #GlanBeach #TunaCapital #PhilippinesTravel #BoxingLegend#philippinestrip

Here’s how a ₱2,500/night stay reminded me that peace doesn’t always come from luxury. I booked Asian Mansion II through Trip.com two weeks ago, needing a quiet space to reset in Makati. It wasn’t a five-star hotel — the building’s dated, and the amenities are basic — but what I got was more valuable: privacy, safety, and simplicity. I had space to breathe, think, and refocus.Getting There - Attractions - Ayala museum Hotels - shangrila Food & Restaurants - greenbekt Shopping - grenbelt Sometimes, all you need is a decent bed, working Wi-Fi, and the freedom to move at your own pace. This place gave me that. For anyone chasing clarity on a budget — it’s not about where you stay, but what the stay gives back to you. #RestOverLuxury #AsianMansionReset #SimpleStayBigImpact #TravelToHeal #MakatiMoments #TripWithPurpose #HiddenPeacePH
