Lake Sebu, Like No Other

The cool breeze of the air, the fascinating view, the simplicity of life, the unique culture of its people – they all make Lake Sebu an interesting place to visit in Mindanao. Located in a mountainous part of South Cotabato, the place became the top tourist destination especially during summer. Being there, you can relax and unwind away from the complexities of city life. Because of the cool climate, the rooms for rent are naturally cold. Flowering plants are flourishing and you can see them in bright, glowing colors. The placid lake and the mountains from afar create a beautiful backdrop for pictorials. There are Jeepneys and Vans for hire to send you to venues where you want to stay. Accommodation is not a problem because it's affordable. Getting there is easy as the roads are already concrete. From Koronadal, we travelled passing by Banga and Surallah for about an hour and a half. There are some locals who offer hand made accessories for souvenir. Some ethnic groups perform their traditional songs and dances. Last year, our branch planning became special simply because we made Lake Sebu as our venue. We stayed at the Hidden Garden and enjoyed native and tilapia dishes. After our planning session, we never missed out taking pictures and sight seeing. Due to time constraint, we were not able to visit the seven falls. It will surely be a reason to go back in Lake Sebu on a different occasion because Lake Sebu is a place like no other.
