we took one of the earliest if not the earliest flight to Davao at 4:50am and i was the last one from the group to arrive at the airport despite being the one closest to it. my travel buddies for this trip lawstude, scud and jonee were already there.
from the airport, we immediately went to the bus terminal that will bring us to Gensan which was first on our itinerary. it was a coincidence that Gensan will be celebrating Kalilangan Festival on that same weekend.
from there a van courtesy of Robinsons mall and Sheng brought us to East Asia Royale Hotel and met some of the Gensan bloggers Bariles, Kyaw and Sheila of Robinsons marketing group, who later invited us to join lunch with the Davao bloggers who were also there for the Festival.
Sheng and Kyaw brought us to the town plaza though they brought with them their car to bring us around, riding the tricycle was still exciting. from there we then went to Marasa Grill and met the Davao bloggers.
i was craving for Tuna and i believe i'm in the right place. Sashimi and Kinilaw was served and lots of lutong bahay specialty but what i liked the most was the eggplant. i forgot the name though maybe because it was that delicious.
a meal so good for us to face the heat of the sun to witness Gensan's Kalilangan Festival. thanks to Marasa Grill for hosting our lunch, plus the Gensan and Davao bloggers.

With, the eggplant, if it contained tomatoes and onions soaked in vinegar, then it might be the eggplant salad... :)

@dyanie, naghihintay ang gensan sa iyo!
Dong, we, the GenSan Bloggers had fun hosting you guys even for just a short period of time. Hope you could post your pictures of the Kalilangan Festival too.
Our host at Marasa Grill is owner Kring Macion, President of the Gensan Tourism Association and blogger Orman Manansala, the super chub in the picture (www.gandaeversomuch.com) who is also the Kalilangan Festival Director.
Next stop should be the TUNA FESTIVAL which runs from Sept 1-5, 2010. Hopefully, the director will still be Orman.
Thanks for this post and Magandang GenSan!
hey, looks like you and oman had a blast :D
my friend, hindi na ako papayag na sa tuna festival (kung ako pa rin ang festival director ha) at hindi ako ang host nyo! thanks for visiting! see you soon!
Dom, you take great pictures!
