Gen. Santos City: Sarangani Highlands Garden & Restaurant

A year after my first visit here in Sarangani Highlands Garden and Restaurant, I was able to step in again. The road going there is the same dusty and rough but upon reaching the Highlands, it can be noticed a lot has changed. 

They already have this nice veranda where many coffee drinkers would like to sit every sunrise and sunset. Some wedding receptions were held in this site. From here, during daytime you can clearly see the Sarangani Bay and at night, especially with the presence of the moon, an amazing reflection of it on the bay can be viewed.

I was glad seeing this tree again. It is still alive and a lot of visitors liked to be there for pictorials. It is also nice to rest, reflect and/or meditate in here savoring the nice wind from the bay.

Seeing the bay from here makes one relaxed. You can see ships and boats sailing in the bay.

This one is new. There was nothing like this when I first visited this location. It was also said that this garden and restaurant is having its ongoing development like putting up other venues for big events and accommodations for others who would like to stay overnight.

Gen. Santos City: Sarangani Highlands

This is my first time to be in Sarangani Highlands. It is located at the hilltop in Purok Wal, Brgy. Tambler, General Santos City just across Celebes Canning Corporation. It is very far from Gensan downtown. If you want to go in there, it is better to bring with you your car. If yo don't have any, you may commute from downtown to Tambler but it may take you some time to reach it.

I am not this typical person who likes eating in far places/locations. Especially now that I am dependent on my salary. All the things that I want to buy should be within the limits of my earnings and I am just new to the so called "EMPLOYMENT WORLD". This is my tenth (10th) month as an employee and seventh (7th) in my second employer and I just got my regular employment status after the five month probation. 

Spending is my great frienemy (friend and enemy). It is very easy to spend if I find something  I really wanted and it is very difficult at the same time if I wanted something badly then I noticed my cash balance is depleting and the next salary pay is a century away. I have to make sure I have enough until the next payday.

This day is about celebration of our father's birthday. I am just so lucky that I have siblings who are generous enough to fund this trip and the food. :D The food are nice and the scenery is good as well. 

As I heard, this is owned by a doctor who has skills in landscaping. Her habit/skills opened an opportunity for her to do business. It can be noticed that the business is still new since there are just few structures and landscapes. I bet this will be developed for commercial purposes in the future.

Here are some pictures of Sarangani Highlands:



This tree alone makes the view nice and the view of the bay from there is excellent.
