Sarangani Province: Siguil Prawn Farm in Maasim

Siguil is a baranggay in Maasim, Sarangani Province. It is located next to the boundary of General Santos City. Going there is hard if you are in a hurry. Local jeepneys from General Santos City are available but very few and it would take time to reach your destination especially if the driver would take time for stop-overs every now and then looking and waiting for passengers along the way. 

From the highway of Siguil, we walked around 500m to reach the prawn farm. We were there for work but I will not elaborate more on that. 

During the course of our job, I was able to get some photos. Sorry for the quality since I was not able to bring digital camera except for the mobile phone.

The above picture will show how a prawn farm would look like. At first, you would see an ordinary pond but this pond is not like fish ponds because it is not that deep. There were several ponds in this location but you could only see one. It is near the wide river and the bay area as well.

Dried and cracked land? Looks nice? feels like you are in a drought place in another country? This artistic land was brought by the huge amount of water from the river beside this farm that washed away the wall of the pond and the prawns as well. Imagine the loss of this damage brought to the company.

Prawns and water are gone but the view is great. :D I requested by officemate to capture only this cracked land since it is very unsual for our place to see this kind of art.

That is my shadow and the drought.
