Live in GenSan: Coca-Cola Tigers vs the Talk ‘n Text Tropang Texters

I started this blog to highlight the many things I experience in GenSan. While Manny Pacquiao and tuna are first and foremost in the minds of my readers, another GenSan gem is the GenSan News Online Mag a.k.a. Bariles Republic as I knew it first. It was one of the first blogs that helped me in my decision to come accept my current job in Gensan. Well, Bariles proved to be one of my new-found friends in GenSan as well.

Not only will you get the latest news about GenSan, you get freebies as well like his latest blog contest, tickets to the upcoming PBA Game in GenSan between the Coca-Cola Tigers and the Talk ‘n Text Patrollers on December 5, 2009. While I'm no fan of basketball (I am more of soccer/football fanatic), there is always the first time to watch a PBA game. So many firsts in GenSan over the past year, why not watch the Coca-Cola Tigers vs the Talk ‘n Text Tropang Texters' game in the famous GenSan Gem, este, Gym pala?

Thanks to the General Santos Local Government and the PaperView Office and School Supplies for making this event a reality!

Team Pacquiao

Besides tuna, another great idea for pasalubong would Pacquiao souvenirs you can buy from the newly-opened Team Pacquiao store at Robinson's Place, Gen San.

T-shirts, key chains, mugs, sports jackets and bags and jogging pants... towels, bags and more. There are several selection of t-shirt designs, priced at around 420 pesos per shirt. Not that bad.  Oh, and there are caps too.

The shopkeepers are friendly and quite used to people taking a lot of pictures, like I did. Next time I go visit my parents, I'll be sure to get some shirts for my dad. I think the items sold here would make popular pasalubong.

 

You can take a pose with Pacman, too!

Tsokolate eh!

This is one favorite product from nearby Tupi, South Cotabato that I really love - tablea from Kablon Farms! This is my perk me up on weekend mornings, when I can really laze around during breakfast, sipping tsokolate eh as I read a book.

Manny Pacquiao's mansion

This is a popular question whenever I go home to Los Baños - have you seen Manny Pacquiao's house? For several time I went home, I always say yes, because it is on the way to the office. But I couldn't show off a picture as proof. Anyway, getting a new cellphone with 8MP camera gave me an excuse to take a picture outside.


Next stop: a closer look... wish I could get inside his house!
