you can freely check other categories of this site for you to be able to know other hotels and restaurants here. this site is very informative, i must say. and about the bombing issue, i wonder, kung hindi safe ang GenSan, ang Manila ba, hindi rin ba safe? also Davao? and any other place? i don’t think there’s a safe place left here in the world. but, i can say, sa almost 19 years ko na stay dito sa GenSan, eh buhay pa naman ako, with complete body parts. hehe.

Welcome to GenSan! balik-balik ka. nag-enjoi ka rin naman eh. Sa mga napuntahan niyo, wala pa ata yan nkakalahati sa ganda ng GenSan.

Her explanation sort of became an eye-opener to the panel of interviewers. Sympathy to us? Tama ng exaggerated news! Itigil na! ooopps…wrong venue.hehe.. She is a Mindanaoan and she fights for her home. Gensan and Davao are both situated in the island of Mindanao. Diba dapat, kapit bisig (or kapit daan?! Hehe). We should share the same sentiment over this stigma unless of course, Davao is another island out of Mindanao? Peace!

Time and again, Gensan and Davao are not comparable with each other. Of course, I also saw the on-going construction of Robinsons in Davao and its not even half as big here in Gensan, but do we brag about it? We are happy that Robinsons is here. The construction is almost finished. You’d be surprised that Ayala is also eyeing strategic locations for their future investments in the city. Investors are pouring in, because they see also the potential of the city. Thank you.

Glad that you enjoyed your stay even how surprised you were with the experience. Isla Parilla in Alabel, Sarangani Province is a man-made, originally built as a rest house or a private get away for the family. The newly improved Family Country Hotel and Convention Center is a good choice to stay, relaxed and quiet.

Taking it positively, I would be happy that somehow, non-resident of Gensan, appreciated our city. I would not boast about tourism because we lack of it. The City is just “like a box of chocolates, You never know what you’re gonna get,” right Forrest? (hehe).

However, much to my amazement, coming from you, a Davaoeño, its quite “surprising” also for me to decipher such observation By the way, my best friend is a full-blooded Davaoeño, yet her family loves to visit the white beaches in Glan (1.20 hour drive from Gensan) They had their lunch at Mandarin before taking off to Davao

A college friend of my mine visited Gensan (her first time). When her father was still alive, it’s a no-no that she visits Gensan or any place in Mindanao. She lives in QUEZON CITY all her life. Shed only been to North Luzon, the farthest shed been to, and she was glad she was able to come in the city. She only stayed a day and went straight to Davao. Much to my surprise, she had her second visit after a few months. She was amazed with the architecture of the Our Lady of Peace of Good Voyage Church and had fun riding the tricycle from East Asia Royale HOtel to the Church. Take note, ALONE. Safe naman pala eh.hehe. She enjoyed their dinner at Ranchero and was surprised when I took her at Club 101. I could have toured her around if she stayed a little longer.

So, we invite you to visit Gensan once again. Go over Bariles’ site and you’d be surprised of the information you can get. Though we do not offer as much as Davao has, we can assure you that it would be one unique experience Magandang Gensan!

Dayon kamo sa Gensan!

If your comment came from someone living in Luzon or Visayas, the apprehension would be understandable. But coming from you, a resident of Davao City, this comment invites comparisons between our cities. And so here’s my comment on your city:

The last time I was in Davao City where you reside, I was afraid to light up a cigarette. I had to find a place so dark and hidden from public view to smoke one. I’ve been hearing a lot about the Davao Death Squad, allegedly the private army of Mayor Digoy responsible for salvagings in your city that is why I was first hesitant to go. Di ba masakit isipin na masa-salvage ako just for smoking a cigarette? But I had no choice. I have an important matter to attend in your city. So in return, I ask you, is Davao City really, really safe?

Is the city really safe? We’ve been hearing a lot about bombings in your city that is why I was first hesitant to go. But I had no choice. I have an important matter to attend in your city. Surprisingly, I had a great time with my family.

I travel frequently to Gensan, even during the time when bombscares were at its peak. I haven’t really stayed in any of its hotels but I know that Gensan is safe. I’m going back to Gensan this Monday for a quick visit, and I expect a safe travel… (–,)

Hello! Nice to know that you were having a great time with your family here in Gensan. Your choice of Family Country Hotel was already good as well Isla Parilla.. You can always come back there or you may try East Asia Royale Hotel though they don’t have a pool. For restaurant you can always visit Orange Bistro, Grab a Crab, Mandarin and Chowking.. *smiles*

Is the city really safe?

***You’ve been here in GenSan before, you can judge for yourself. The media usually exaggerated the news for sensationalism. But I can give you the assurance that the city is safe in fact my Aunt and her husband from UK is here right now having their vacation. Remember in Davao Airport there was also bombing occurring . Is Davao safe?

Feel free to contact Gensan bloggers on your next visit. We will be happy to give you more information and maybe to meet you would be much better and we can have a cup of coffee with other gensan bloggers too. Have a blissful day!

raincindys last blog post..My Natal Day

I just visited your recently blog post (XeRKeL – about personal finance)… thus I’m thinking (maybe) how you feel about Gensan economically speaking… My nephew here has that same experience with yours.. Come on Yvon… cheer-up… move on… Gensan City biz is not the 100% fabled service of your expectation… but I assure you that we the Generals here do our very best to make our place lovable, safe and sound to our guest and friends.

We had common dreams to walk the talk about peace and development… but not a mile away anymore…. Our socio-economic movement here is, to begin with ordinary acts, extraordinary outcomes…

Please come again and bring your friends here, so we can chat about personal finances

We have bloggers here with social entrepreneurial spirit…

“Remember, fabled service consists in ordinary people doing ordinary things in extraordinary ways.”

Hi, Ms. Yvon!

You have just seen a part and parcel of what Gensan has to offer. Should you wish to see all the best we have down here, feel free to coordinate with the Soccsksargen bloggers group, we are more than willing to assist you.

Gensan is a place inhabited by beautiful and peace loving Generals ( a term coined for our people). On a personal note, I was born and did grew up here and have raised my own family as well now here in Gensan. I have seen the transformation of Gensan from a city almost nobody heard of into a place we can proudly claim to be a city to reckon with. Investors kept on coming in. Businesses kept on sprouting. Tourists kept on visiting our place. Even word class performers, the group TOTO and Mr. David Pomeranz, had performed here.

Sadly, only bad news could generate larger income for our media moguls that’s why news about bombings and violence( which is ironic because people who are into this are not from Gensan) are always hyped up instead of the true beauty of Gensan and its people.

We need people like you, Ms. Yvon, who are open minded and could help us advocate that Gensan is a beautiful and peaceful place after all.

Best regards.

I stayed more than several years in Zamboanga City but I had to go back to GenSan since it is more peaceful than other places I have known. The bombings were works of people who are simply not in this place. But, bombings are everywhere anyway but this very very rare in Gensan. This is the only city where I don’t see a number of policemen around the place. This only shows Gensan has no problem at all with peace and order and local crimes.

But, GenSan holds beauty and character where I don’t see often in other places. The people are welcoming and the food are simply great!

My thumbs up to Sarangani Highlands too for its captivating city and sea panoramic views while I personally love the food of Grab a Crab, General’s brew and Genees all at surprisingly very low prices.

Come and visit us, we shall gladly welcome you and let you experience that Gensan can indeed a home away from home.

There hadn’t been a bombing incident here that killed as many as there had been in the Rizal Day bombing in Metro Manila.

Furthermore, people here are friendly and peace-loving. That’s us. (lol)

Welcome to GenSan! Welcome to Sarangani!

Isla Parilla is indeed a beauty because Gensan is also a beautiful place.

“Is the city really safe? We’ve been hearing a lot about bombings in your city that is why I was first hesitant to go.”

No offense meant, but if the city wasn’t safe at all, you could never have gone back to where you came from. You went home safe and unharmed, and you even had the enjoyment you were looking for.

Even Davao City had bombings, right? and anywhere in the world could be bombarded with lots of bad stuffs conceived by evil minds. I don’t understand why at the sound of Gensan, people already associate it with bombings when in fact we are a peaceful city here, and the Generals are peace-loving residents. Incidents of bombing in the area, are I guess, a product of destructive minds which are beyond our control, but we as a city, by the help of the Mayor and the local government officials are helping each other be vigilant to stop and condemn this bombings.

If you were at first hesitant to go here, I am just glad Robinsons Place, as big as they are now, chose to come and invest, thanks because they trusted us, and because of their trust in investing to Gensan, we are becoming a really strong and popular city.

I pray that many investors will soon come, because definitely, Gensan is, quoting what Weary Traveler said “More than meets the eye”. Come back soon. =)
