I have not been down to the Gen San area for awhile but I worked in South Cotabato for 1 year in 2002 - 2003. I loved it there. I was invited to visit some farms again last week and I was surprised on the business boom in the area. Koronadal is twice as big. Gen San with 4 or so malls already. I really love these places especially South Cotobato. Its the southern charm you can't explain. Too bad I was not able to swing by Saranggani. Next time I go down south, I'm going to take a break and dedicate it to diving. Saranggani diving is starting to become a legend! All the more you want to go and see it for real!!!
i've dived in gensan a couple times w/ paul...

it's an amazing place - i absolutely love it - and can't wait till next i get flown there!

what resort is it? so i know where to go when i'm back here.
 
Paul's resort is Southpoint. It is a 'million dollar' location on a cliff top overlooking Sarangani Bay. Bring a few diver friends there and organise food/rooms with Paul and you can be in paradise.

There are few places left like this IMO.
 
i might actually plan to bring a group of divers there next time. please PM me any details like contact info, webiste, rates, dive package... :wink:
 
oo nga, hahaha! thanks Jag.
