General Santos

Get to know General Santos

This port in the Philippine archipelago's southern region buzzes with trade, with the Fish Complex's endless rows of humongous yellowfin tuna evident of its success. As Mt. Matutum sleeps, a booming agriculture and livestock industry sustain the city's affluence, with a diverse mix of indigenous and migrant cultures culminating in the annual Kalilangan Festival. Like its famous boxing son, GenSan's emulsion of Nature, heritage and commerce is robust and prodigious.
