Industrial Tour in Senator Ninoy Aquino, Sultan Kudarat
As part of the 3 day Investment Opportunities Seminar in
Tourism at King's Hall, Provincial Capitol of Sultan Kudarat, Province of
Isulan organized by DTI - Tacurong City partnered with the Department Of
Tourism - Sultan Kudarat; www.PagesFlipper.com is one of the invited Sox
Bloggers to attend and be part of the 2nd and 3rd day schedule which is the
Familiarization Tour and Coffee Industrial Tour . This invitation said to be
another way of promoting Sultan Kudarat itself and the beauty beyond the Coffee
Capital of the Philippines through bloggers' influence on social media and
other online portals.
If not all, I know that there are some of us has this
thinking that Sultan Kudarat just like in nearby places is another chaotic
destination that people should keep away on visiting here in the south side of
Mindanao. Then, you better think twice because it is not what you think it is. Very beautiful place,
sweet illongo/ilocano people and the road is good for travelling. I suggest
that you have to drop by at Sultan Kudarat provincial capitol before touring around,
you'll be mesmerized with the hall facade. During night time, the hall facade
is equipped with different lights interchanging from one color to another. It's
like a big mansion house for Sultan Kudarat - LGU employees. The hall will set
your tour mood.
DTI and DOT traveled us over to some key points where Sultan Kudarat is proud of. Including in our tour is a visit at Neo Country Crafts at Brgy. Chua, Bagumbayan, Sultan Kudarat where handy crafts from Abaca fibers are made of like Bags, Hats, Wedding Souvinier and stuff the like.

A visit to a Coffee Nursery at Kulaman, Sultan Kudarat. Cavite is said to be the title holder but for your
information and for the record, Sultan Kudarat is the country's Coffee Capital
of the Philippines. Sultan Kudarat has the largest coffee plantation in the
country with 2 big land areas. Photo above is just one of the coffee plantation we visited.
Kulaman, Sultan Kudarat is breeding three types of coffee bean: the
Arabica, Excelsa and Robusta. They are more on Arabica and Robusta beans but
their focus is on the well known Robusta in which Nestle Philippines loves to
buy for their products. Robusta is a high quality coffee bean and it is robust.
Meet Charito Santiago. He discovered the cave way back March 2005.
Teams from DTI- Tacurong and DOT - SK with us Sox Bloggers
get the chance to try spelunking at Lagbasan Cave, Brgy. Kuden, SNA, Sultan
Kudarat. Majority of the people who came to visit the cave are novice cavers.
Travel time from Senator Ninor Aquino is 2 hours to Brgy. Kuden and another 1
hours travel away to Lagbasan Cave starting since vehicles can no longer enter
the one man way heading the cave itself; walking will take an 1 hour.
Despite the long travel, tiresome will be ease by these
magnificent formations of stalactites, stalagmites and helictites found inside
the cave. You can't help yourself taking photos since you are being surrounded by these fantabulous breathtaking God wonderful creations
