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!

This is the scene that we saw as we arrived there, the place was full of bloggers and and they are already enjoying the party. I was so hungry when I arrived there after three hours drive from Davao City to General Santos City. We arrived there at around 10 p.m. and was glad to see them happy to see us and be part of this big event.

The food was abundant and the drinks are overflowing and we got to meet and get to know each and every bloggers who were present at the eyeball.This is the second time I attended an event in GenSan the firs time was the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit.

We managed to have a group picture just before every one had to leave and call it a day. There is still a continuation of event planned for the next day as part of the SocSarGen Summer Safari and Mindanao Food Appreciation Tour.

The men in black during the event from left Emmanuel Saripa, Donna Mae Congson, Armando Nicolas PJ and Lyle Santos, they seemed to have talked to each other to wear black that night.
