A Gumasa Island experience...


The team BUDIGORONG went to Gumasa Island, Glan Sarangani Province sometime on year 2007. This is located at southern part of Mindanao. Likened to the white sand beaches of Boracay minus the nightly rave parties, Gumasa in Glan, Sarangani Province is a haven of pristine white sand beaches that are perfect for nature lovers.

There are plenty of resorts there now. I hope I can come up with prices here, but I’m sure, they are well within your budget.

It only takes about 45 minutes to reach the Poblacion, where old Spanish houses can be found, and another 15 minutes to paradise. There are several resorts in the area that offer affordable accomodations.

The Team BUDIGORONG comprises from the three cities of Bukidnon, Digos, and Tacurong. The team composed of Onin, Joan, and Chris. This was created during our reunion climb at Mt. Matutum at Polomolok, South Cotabato, Philippines.

Witnessing the beauty of the paradise of Gumasa Island in Glan, Sarangani Province Philippines. t only takes about 45 minutes to reach the Poblacion, where old Spanish houses can be found, and another 15 minutes to paradise.

First Adventure Race of Northface-Araw ng DAVAO 06


This picture was taken during the first adventure race of north face during Araw ng DAVAO 2006. The race covered bikings, and 5 kilometer long run.
The worst obstacles i have been encountered during the race, that i had to eat 4 kilograms of durian simultaneously. It was my first time to eat the durian fruits of Davao. chris and yoyong were laughing at me, kasi it was really my first time to eat the durian fruit.
knowing that, Durian is a fruit: a big, green thorny fruit native to Malaysia and Indonesia. In fact, it is considered "King of the Fruit" throughout South East Asia. It has a creamy texture, and the taste of its flesh sends its eaters into ecstasies (and it has the reputation of being an aphrodisiac) But is has one drawback. It has an extremely offensive odor described as garlic like, similar to stinky feet, and like Limburger cheese. Some countries even ban the presence of durian in hotels and on public transportation due to its offensive smell.

At the end of the race we were in the 5th placer among the 16 teams joined the competition. Of course the prizes are libreng foot spa, 20% discount of all northface items and apparel, and one night free stay in Marco Polo , and certificate of recognition.
