NEGOSYONG TUNAY !!

The tuna industry had been widely proliferating on the land of Generals - General Santos City.Tuna Industry is the main reason why GenSan had been noted to be the "Tuna Capital of the Philippines". Exporting tons of canned tuna all over the world-it's as obvious for its title. The tuna fishing industry had never been this promising and lucrative since its birth on this side of the earth-General Santos City. Lying at the head of the Sarangani Bay, the city has been dubbed the "Boom Town City of the South," and considered as one of the fastest-growing cities in the Philippines.

The proximity of the city to tuna-rich fishing grounds including the Moro gulf, Sulu Sea, Mindanao Sea and adjacent Celebes Sea which are known centers of tuna abundance, is great advantage. This location is even pleased with fair weather zone which is not normally visited by devastating typhoons or seasonal adverse weather patterns. Another advantage is the availability of facilities like wharves, canneries and an airport. With these characteristics, the city is truly an ideal base of operation for commercial tuna.
