Tasting Local Food: Salmon and Mushroom Chicharon, Pastillas, and Chili Garlic Sauce

If you are looking for "pasalubong" to give away to your friends you can try these food products I have tasted recently. These are made in here in SoCCSKSarGen so you will be bringing the region with you to people who have not been here, who want to here, or who have been here but missing our place.

So I received a pack of local goods containing a pack of salmon cracklings (chicharon), mushroom cracklings, pastillas delights, and chili garlic sauce.

I made a video as a tried these local delicacies:

The products I featured, as well as other local products, can be availed of as Ellyne's Pasalubong Market, Maduramente Building, National Highway, General Santos City. If you are interested, you can check out their Facebook page or contact them through phone number 0945 789 4134.

A Journey to Tinaca Point, the Southernmost Tip of Mainland Mindanao

I have visited it recently and fell in love with it the moment I caught a first glimpse of it. We went to Tinaca Point, where the Philippine Navy Littoral Monitoring Station is located. There stands an old lighthouse and it showed us a great view of Celebes Sea, the coastline of Southern Sarangani, and of Balut Island in Davao Occidental.
