I DEDICATE this post to Ladol, which will soon become the newest barangay of Alabel, Sarangani Province. The beach in Ladol has been my consistent friend whenever I want to take a breather. With its becoming a barangay, we expect for more development in the area, and, hopefully, protection of the bodies of water in encompasses.
STANDING MAJESTICALLY in the borders of South Cotabato, Sarangani Province, General Santos City, and Davao del Sur, Mt. Matutum is a lovely sight that dominates the SoCCSKSarGen landscape. Mt. Matutum stands, 2,270 meters above sea level and home to 110 plant species and 57 animal species and is declared a protected landscape. Last weekend, I was able to reach its summit in a difficult climb with my team. Every time I see the cone of Mt. Matutum as I go home every afternoon I feel a sense of accomplishment, especially considering the difficulty of the trail to its peak.
The photo above of Mt. Matutum was taken at Sitio Masasato, Alabel, Sarangani Province.
