T'daan Kin Falls, the lesser known falls in Lake Sebu!

T'daan Kini Falls is located Barangay Lamlahak, Lake Sebu, South Cotabato.  It is the lesser known falls in Lake Sebu area and it is around 45 minutes walk from Sitio Talibuk with nice scenes along the way. T'daan in the local language (T'boli) means "cold and hot water.


Once reaching the falls all your tiredness from walking will all disappear. The fall at the moment can be reached by foot, but once the bridge linking the road getting there will just be a 15 minute walk. Along the road is small community of T'boli tribe which make wood carving as a souvenir items that are being sold. It is one means of livelihood for the tribe in the area. Abaca is abundant in the are thus abaka fibers are being cultivated and processed as a means of livelihood of the common folks in the area.


We passed by two small streams in going to T'daan Falls. This I may say makes our journey a lot more exciting. Upon reaching T'daan Kini Falls, it is a sight to behold, the water is very cold and the place is ideal for picnic and swimming as a means of rejuvenation from the long walks that people does in getting there.

We had our lunch courtesy of Lake Sebu Tourism Board. It was a very filling lunch with fried tilapia which is abundant in the area and adobong manok. We really enjoyed eating our lunch with the use of our hands. It was a long time ago that I used my hands while eating and in sync with nature at that. We just sat where we feel comfortable and ate our lunch. The experience is priceless!

The tour we had was part of the Sox Bloggers spearheaded by Avel Manasala of GenSantos.com

Special thanks to the people of Lake Sebu Tourism Board.

As part of the SoCSarGen Experience Tour: Part Deux which was organized by Avel Manasala of the GenSan News Online Mag, I was one of the lucky ones who got to try their zipline as one of the first patrons. But the first thing that we were made to do in an early morning Yoga hosted by Fifth Mountain Zipline Adventure Park and then a sumptous breakwast was then served.

Local cuisine was served, and the breakfast was really heavy on the tummy. Tuna steak, bunch of vegetable salad like okra, camote tops, ampalaya with singkamas and diced fresh pineapple. One of the main dish is Nilagpang na Manok, a first for me.

'Twas an experience of a life time, food, fun, and adventure at Fift Mountain Zipline Adventure Park!

DOLEFIL give back to it's community!


 DOLEFIL (Dole Philippines), Polomolok, South Cotabato was part of our itinerary in the last SoCSarGen Experience Tour: Part Deux which was organized by Avel Manasala of the GenSan News Online Mag.

We are one of the lucky visitors of the Dole Philippines Plant , since they invited us to their exclusive Kalsangi Restaurant and Club, where only the top executives and employees of the plant are allowed there.

DOLEFIL  is one of the largest pineapple plantation in the world and it contributes a lot to the economy and the people living in the area. They export around 80% of their production and the rest are sold locally.

The company does a lot more than just that, they are also doing a lot of corporate social responsibility to its community. They advocate tree planting in the surrounding community and in return they give classroom arm chairs and help farmers have their own pineapple farm.

They also hosted a merienda for all who participated the event. Of course pineapple is present on the menu. Nothing taste like the sweetest pineapple by Dole, accompanied by their famous Clubhouse sandwich, Pancit Palabok from their restaurant and their famous Dole fruit juices.

Kiamba's Children's Park and Tuka Marine Sanctuary visit!


As part of the Soccsksargen Experience Tour we visited Kiamba, Saranggani Province and it was awesome experience I should say!

The children's park in Kianmba is one of the best in the province. It is well maintained with a mini zoo inside a great experience for the locals and visitors alike. The park is just along the beach great place to unwind, bring your kids along and enjoy the scenery along the beach.

The beach house by the children's park is where the local government of Kiamba, Saranggani Province hosted a sumptuous lunch for the blogger who participated in the Soccsksargen Experience Tour.


The next stop is the Tuka Marine Sanctuary and the the jump off point for the boat rides is just at the back of the children's park.

Tuka Beach and enclave is a pristine marine sanctuary that play host to a rich and biodiverse fauna. It is just a few minutes boat ride and what welcomes the visitors are the white pristine beaches along the coast.  We had the pleasure to snorkel along the Tuka Marine Sanctuary and there are lots of fishes and corals just a few meters away from the coastline. But a sad reality struck us most, is the presence of  crown of thorn star fish.

The crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) is a large nocturnalsea star coral polyps. The crown-of-thorns is a corallivore, a carnivorous predator that preys on reef coral polyps. They climb onto reef structures, and then extrude their stomach onto the coral. This releases digestive enzymes that allow the starfish to absorb nutrients from the liquefied coral tissue. The crown-of-thorns also preys on brittle stars in a similar fashion.

They are voracious predators. An individual starfish can consume up to 6 square metres (65 sq ft) of living coral reef per year.

The local government of Kiamba are worried about the presence of the Crown Thorns in the Tuka Marine Sanctuary. If only we could help them to save the corals. All we could do as a blogger is to let the world know that the marine sanctuary in the brink of ecological disaster.

Lot of thanks to Avel Manansala who spearheaded the Soccsksargen Experience Tour Part II and the local government of Kiamba, Sarrangani Province for their hospitality. It was really an experience of a lifetime.

Maitum, Saranggani's culture and white water tubing experience!


A journey to Maitum, Saranggani Province is like journey in the past. It is considered Mindanao's Old World. This is where hundreds of anthropomorphic jars were found in the caves of Maitum which were used as cover for burial jars associated to the Metal Age in the Philippines circa 5 B.C. to A.D. 225. And to experience their water tubing in Pangi river is a must do adventure in Maitum.

I was one of the lucky bloggers invited during the Soccsksargen Experience Tour last weekend  which was spearheaded by Avel Manansala. The Municipal hall is a grand building with mini archaeological and ethnographic exhibit, on the second floor which also houses the replica of the jars that was found in the area. The local government cannot place the real old jars since the National Museum requires that the original jars and other museum pieces should be housed separately in its own museum and not in the city hall. But none the less, the exhibit that they have gave most visitors the history that Maitum has to offer.
Maitum is 127 kms from Gen. Santos City, to get there air-conditioned vans are the most convenient way to go and you have to shell out P140 for the fare going there.

After experincing the culture of Maitum, we are off to an adventure with white water tubing at Pangi river which is around 15-20 minute ride from Poblacion, Maitum.


This time we are off to getting ourselves wet in the wild river of Pangi. We have to change our clothes to get wet and enjoy the water tubing experience of a life time. This is the first time that I will ride the water tube going a river downstream. The excitement and fun is an experience of a lifetime.

If you want to try water tubing, you can ride a motrocycle (habl-habal) at P25/person from the national highway in barangay Pangi or by tricycle at P100 one way trip from Poblacion.
For a school trip or group tour in Maitum with water tubing adventure you can get in touch with the right person at the Maitum Tourism Office.
