The Gensan Itinerary (Travel Tourism Edition)

Strangely enough, I came up with a 3-day itinerary for a set of bizaare friends (a.k.a. MBA classmates) who were convinced that a summer vacation was possible in my hometown, Gensan. This is how I enjoyed being a tourist for the first time in General Santos City and this is my first blog post.
