General Santos City

More than the city of Manila, the country’s capital, the Philippines is filled with thousands of other gems that the world deserves to see. Pristine waters and fine grains of sand by its beaches, a flourishing fauna and flora in its forestlands where wildlife organically thrives, and refurbished metropolitan districts that are at par with the global set of business standards. Truly, the nation is a melting pot of the attributes that comprise the idea of what a haven appears to be for any individual. With this, in the depths of the Mindanao archipelago lies a city that resembles a home away from home for its visitors–General Santos City.

Colloquially called in its abbreviated name “GenSan”, the “Boom City of the South” has been recognized for a remarkable leap that it has collectively made in its agricultural sector for the past decades–hence, the moniker. To date, it is also deemed to be the “Tuna Capital of the Philippines” due to the water forms within this urbanized area teeming with marine life that provides work opportunities for fishermen. Natives from GenSan celebrate the convenience of having everything that they may ever need within the city’s boundaries
