for everyone
We had our dinner at the Isla Parilla Resort in Alabel, Sarangani. There weren't a lot of people that night. We picked our meals from the seafoods in the chiller. After dinner, we bought our stock of fruits for Manila. I took home 26 kilograms all in all, of suha, lansones and mangosteen!

The next day, we drove to Glan. We checked out the old houses which are mentioned in the DOT website. They have intricate wood designs but sadly, most if not all, have been neglected. The local government should do something about it since old houses in Mindanao are quite rare nowadays.

We then proceeded to Barangay Gumasa to check the powder-white sand beach. Yes, you read it right, powder-white sand. It could be the next Boracay if the local government plays its cards right. After a few hours of swimming, we drove back to Gen San to catch our flight back to Manila. But we passed by the provincial capitol in Alabel first to meet some officials.

Back in Gen San, we had lunch at Nadie's Chicken Restaurant. Then after fixing our check-in luggage which was all fruits, we went to the airport.

Glan is one of the first settlements in Sarangani. Dating back in early 20th Century. Ivan, may napapansin ako sa t-shirt mo, hahehehehehe!!! :D

Uunahan na kita. Those are two different red t-shirts. You'll see the difference if you look closer. The one at the beach has a pocket. While the one I wore around SOCCSKCARGEN has the RL logo. What's it about my t-shirts at pinapansin niyo suot ko! Isa kasi eh! Haha!

Why me? Uhhh kasi dapat walang shirts sa beach? Hello, haven't you gradient skin? Yung from the shoulders na super white that gets darker and darker as it goes down to the hands. Que horror! Ok, this makes me sound like a ditz.. but come on. Ang pangit tingnan ng gradient skin!

My dear, I went swimming after we took the photos. Do you remember me bringing my digital camera in the water when we were in Donsol? We took our photos in the boat! Then we swam. Hindi ba? Haha! So don't worry, I don't have gradient skin.

Hello Mr. lawyer, read your statement carefully. Hahaha! Admit what? Your statement is null and void because I did. Buti nalang you weren't at the beach? Ha! Maybe because your statement holds true for you. :P
