For anyone who had visited Sarangani, there is not a single doubt that it is indeed a beautiful province. Towns like Glan are the most visited area in Sarangani because of its scenic spots. With the increased visits from local and foreign tourists, investors see this as a big opportunity.

Actually there are numerous towns and municipalities in Sarangani that are also worth the investment. Agriculture is one industry that is rampant and major economic booster in the country and here in Sarangani there are lots of potential spots.

Malungon is a town in Sarangani Province that is abundant with natural resources. It is safe to say that this town is blessed with the antiquity of Philippine culture with the tribes living in the area and is also blessed with rich soils for varieties of agricultural products to thrive. However, not much of its rich natural resources are explored and turned into an investment opportunity. Like for example, the corn industry. Sarangani is one of the Philippines’ corn producing provinces and Malungon has the biggest percentage of producing the agricultural product covering 33% of the total land hectare.  Because the province don't have a processing plant for feeds, these agricultural products are marketed to General Santos.

There are lots of potentials that investors will see as soon they consider Malungon as their next agricultural hub. Here are the listed potentials that are guaranteed to yield higher profits for investors:

1. The favorable climate of Sarangani makes it suitable to grow fruits like Mango. Sarangani is also a major producer of the Philippines’ national fruit. The municipality of Malungon grows these fruits abundantly with high quality when it comes to taste and size.

Malungon is considered as the biggest mango producing town not only in Sarangani but the entire SOCKSARGEN (South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, and General Santos), with more or less 5,000 hectares and it will be double or triple in  the coming years.

2.  Rubber, a highly indispensable material for many big industries are also grown here locally because of the town’s good rainfall.

3.   Malungon has 117,553 hectares of potential land for Oil Palm Production according to the Office of the Provincial Agricultural (OPag) and Commercial Crops and Development Program.

4.  Waterways in the municipality are not a problem because it is adequately supplied by spring development projects.

Malungon’s potentiality as the next agricultural hub in the province lies in its physical characteristics. The land is of various forms which include plain, valleys, rolling-hilly and hilly and mountainous with soil types ranging from clay, loam to sandy loam. These characteristics are the perfect fit for investment areas such as processing plants, milling plants, Industrial tree Plantation, Agro Forestry, Fruit production, livestock breeding and farming and production of ornamental plants. Investment opportunities like these should not be neglected. This will remain potentials unless someone will take the opportunity.

If you’ve ever wondered, “What are the best tourist spots in Sarangani?”—you might be surprised to learn that some of the most breathtaking destinations aren’t along the coast.

Tucked in the highlands of Malungon Sarangani Philippines, this underrated destination is slowly gaining attention as one of the most promising Sarangani tourist spots for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

From waterfalls and mountain ridges to farms and cultural sites, this guide will walk you through the top Malungon tourist spot destinations and why they deserve a place on your travel list.

Why Visit Malungon, Sarangani?

One of its highlights is Datal Bila Waterworld, a 20-hectare land development located in Barangay Datal Bila, near Mt. Matutum Nature Park. Nature lovers will surely appreciate this area, which is home to more than 91 endemic species of flora and fauna.

You might also want to go trekking to Busagan Falls—a favorite among backpackers and dirt bike riders. The trail to the falls offers an adventurous journey through the interior mountains of Barangay J.P. Laurel, Malungon.

When most people think of tarsiers, they think of Bohol. But tucked away in the quiet mountains of Malungon, Sarangani, lies a hidden gem that only a few adventurers know—the Nanima Watershed in Sitio Ariston, Barangay Poblacion.

Nestled just below the breathtaking Kalon Barak Skyline Ridge, this lush sanctuary is home to the elusive Philippine Tarsier, one of the world’s smallest primates. Unlike in other parts of the country, here, the tarsiers aren’t just wildlife—they’re revered. The Blaan and Tagakaolo tribes, the indigenous stewards of these lands, consider these tiny creatures sacred, a symbol of nature's delicate balance.

But the Nanima Watershed is more than just a haven for tarsiers. It’s a thriving ecosystem that shelters Philippine eagles and other endangered species, quietly thriving among the trees. Spanning 283 hectares of reforested land, it’s a living, breathing testament to conservation—rich with endemic tree species and blessed with natural springs that provide clean, potable water to nearby communities.

Kalonbarak Skyline: Malungon's Own Version of Tagaytay

If you're looking for cool mountain air, breathtaking views, and a peaceful escape, Kalonbarak Skyline in Malungon might just be the next destination on your travel list. Often compared to Tagaytay for its altitude and charm, Kalonbarak sits 750 feet above sea level, offering a panoramic view of Mt. Apo, Mt. Matutum, Sarangani Bay, and even Davao Gulf on a clear day.

But Kalonbarak is more than just a scenic overlook. It’s a sacred home to the Sarangani Tarsiers and a cultural heartland where three Blaan tribal villages reside. Soon to be launched as an eco-cultural tourism project by the municipality, this area will give visitors more than just photo opportunities—it will offer deep cultural immersion. Travelers will have the chance to learn directly from the indigenous people about their sustainable practices, traditions, and way of life passed down through generations.

Aside from Kalonbarak, Malungon is also dotted with other hidden gems. Make time to explore JND Integrated Farm Institute Inc., Pacman Farms, Sitio Rancho and Sky Nature Park, and Busagan Falls. 

If you're a nature lover or foodie, don't miss the banana and pineapple plantations, mango farmlands, and the charming Community Museum and Home of Living Traditions, where local heritage comes alive.

Malungon: Where Mountains Bloom and Pomelos Thrive

Tucked away in the heart of Sarangani, Malungon may not have white-sand beaches or coastal views, but it offers something just as captivating—rolling bushlands, stunning land formations, and hidden waterfalls that awaken the soul of every traveler seeking nature off the beaten path.

One stop you shouldn’t miss is the B3 Soddaco Farm in Upper Mainit, Malungon. Known for its succulent seedless pomelos, this farm supplies some of the most popular supermarkets across Mindanao. As you walk through rows of fruit-bearing trees, you’ll not only experience the freshness of Malungon’s agricultural pride—you’ll taste it.

But there’s more. Every March to early April, the farm transforms into a pink paradise with the blooming of Tabebuia Rosea—a tropical tree often mistaken for the cherry blossom because of its delicate, trumpet-shaped pink flowers. For a few weeks each year, the vibrant blooms create a breathtaking scene, perfect for dreamy photos and peaceful strolls under a floral canopy.

Make Sand Castles in White Haven Beach Resort ^_^

Sarangani is a province of the Philippines located in the Soccksargen  region in Mindanao. Its capital is Alabel and borders South Cotabato to the north and Davao del Sur to the east. This province is part of the South Cotabato-Sultan Kudarat-Sarangani-Gen. Santos City (Soccsksargen) development cluster, and is linked by paved roads to the international airport and world-class fish port of Gen. Santos City.

Gumasa is located in the western part of Sarangani Province. Gumasa Beach is found in Glan, Sarangani less than an hour drive from the province capital, ALABEL. This side of the province is gifted with powder like white sand that embeds the crystal clear blue waters. Recently the government is helping private resort owners to enhance their facilities to attract tourists. The beaches around SARANGANI Province are ideal for Scuba Diving and other water sports activities.Tuka Marine Sanctuary in Maasim is great for snorkeling and diving. On a sunny day, one can marvel from corals and coral fishes just around the water surface and as you go deeper you’ll be amazed by the clarity of many unfamiliar sea creatures. Tuka Marine Sanctuary has four coves of pinkish sand and naturally shaped rocks that add to the beauty of the seascape during low tide.

What You Shouldn't Miss

Not only it is gifted with alluring ocean pace, Sarangani Province is also surrounded by white rivers. I say it’s white because in here you’ll see one of Mindanao’s cleanest rivers. And is famous now for it’s so called “White Water Tubing”. This river is found in the eastern part of Sarangani; in a town called Maitum you’ll find Pangi River. It has this vast water current that adds excitement to adventurers as they hop in to the buoy and sway through water rapids. Lately this site is known to be “Sarangani's Water Tubing Capital”. This is the only town in the province which has exciting water adventure, fully equipped with water tubing facilities and well trained crews.

Where to Stay? 


A- Montana Resort (former Isla Parilla) in Sarangani is an excellent getaway for tourist venturing around the province. This was once an exclusive resort for some elite people in General Santos City. Now it has evolved into an AA rating resort. Some unique features such as cottages that stand on stilts in the middle of a man-made lake, thus making it one of the Province’s finest resort and hotel. With its close proximity of around 15 minutes from General Santos City downtown district, this is a certified irresistible getaway. It is situated in Brgy. Ladol, Alabel, Sarangani. 

When it comes to whitewater river rafting, Cagayan de Oro is a crowd favorite. However, if you're looking to try something new, the white water tubing experience at Pangi River in Maitum is a fantastic alternative. As travelers, we often crave extraordinary adventures, and I assure you—this activity is worth every minute.


Who wouldn’t want to experience the thrill of water tubing amidst such stunning natural beauty? Adding this activity to our itinerary, thanks to our ever-reliable organizer Avel Manansala, injected more excitement into our SEX (Soccsksargen Experience) tour. After a hearty breakfast at Cresing’s, we set out for Pangi River with our cheerful guides, Tourism Operations Assistants Arnelito Ramirez (0918-6133022) and Arlex Narte (0919-3738007).


The day was perfectly sunny, and the sight of the rushing rapids heightened my anticipation for this new adventure. Our group was a lively bunch, with some seasoned bloggers playfully teasing us first-timers. They joked that if we ended up with broken bones, we had a doctor and a nurse with us, and if anyone lost a tooth, there was even a dentist on hand. Their humor kept the nerves at bay, and all I felt was pure excitement.

Following a brief but comprehensive safety briefing, we geared up, ready to conquer the rapids. Though I didn’t count the exact number of rapids, the thrilling ride took us about 30 to 45 minutes, covering a 1.6-kilometer stretch of the river.

My guide assured me that I wouldn’t fall off the improvised floater, but the adventurer in me wanted to let go and fully immerse in the experience. I even considered jumping into the water, but my petite frame made my guide chuckle at the thought—he could easily carry me. While falling into the water wasn’t part of my plan, I couldn’t help but imagine how exciting it would be.


Beyond the exhilarating white water tubing adventure, Maitum has plenty more to offer. Among its must-visit attractions are the Bat Sanctuary, home to thousands of endangered bats; the Pawikan Sanctuary, where you can see Hawksbill, Green, Olive Ridley, and Loggerhead turtles; and the serene Twin Falls in Barangay Bati-an. For the more adventurous, there are opportunities for diving, trekking through lush forests, and exploring caves teeming with exotic flora and fauna.

If you’re ready to take on the 1.6-kilometer tubing challenge, Pangi River is located in Brgy. New La Union, Maitum, Sarangani Province, just a few hours away from General Santos City. For only ₱130, you can enjoy an unforgettable 30-minute white water tubing adventure.
