When in Gen San

In far far away Central Mindanao is the region of SOCCSKSARGEN  wherein the famous city of GenSan aka hometown of the people's champ, Manny Pacquiao lies.

So what to do when in Gensan?

Visit all Manny-related places ofcourse! LOL

First stop is the first mansion.

We were very lucky to be able to go inside thanks to the bystanders who told us haha.

This is for sale by the way.......for only P50 million! O_O

His 2nd mansion from the outside.

It's a big compound with a personal gym.

Another must-visit is the wild card gym where he regularly trains when he's scheduled for a fight!

When you visit Gensan, you could easily notice that Manny's really in good hands when it comes to his finances. Aside from this gym, there's Manny Pacquiao hotel, his own water business, building, cafe and even Jinkee's fashion boutique! WOAH. 

I won't be surprise if he builds his own amusement park someday haha!

Once you're finish visiting Manny's establishments hehe you could head up to Sarangani Highlands to have lunch and take pictures at their beautiful garden!

They also have a great view of Sarangani Bay ~it's so picturesque <3

Perfect scenery: greens and florals with a beautiful backdrop of the sky and ocean <3

this table under the tree would be a perfect set-up for a romantic dinner <3

You'd be amazed to know that there are several malls in Gensan and most of them are close to each other.

My favorite one is Veranza which if you ask me, greatly resembles an Ayala mall.

One thing you surely won't miss is this huge man-made waterfalls which they say is the biggest in the ph.

It's quite pretty at night too.

And there's always a live band playing at night.

When you're done for the day, visit Greenleaf hotel for a relaxing massage or...

take photo-ops at their lobby!haha

Zanzibar for some chillax time yea~

If you don't get a chance to see the early tuna auction at the port, just buy some frozen

tuna goods and whatnot at Citra Mina.

Here you can buy assorted tuna parts, fish tofu, dried fish etc. for pasalubong.

They put it in a styrobox and completely seal it for ready check-in at the airport.

Tuna fillet perfect for sashimi <3
