Sarangani
Sarangani is a province of the Philippines located in the SOCCKSARGEN region in Mindanao. It is subdivided into 7 municipalities which are grouped into two parts. The western part consists of the municipalities of Kiamba, Maasim and Maitum, while the eastern part is composed of Alabel, Glan, Malapatan, and Malungon. The provincial capital is the municipality of Alabel and borders South Cotabato to the north and Davao del Sur to the east.
The early inhabitants of Sarangani were the indigenous natives called “MunaTo” which is a native term for “first people”. Sarangani was once part of South Cotabato and held its title as the Lone Third District of South Cotabato. The province was created on March 16, 1992 by virtue of Republic Act No. 7228.

Coconut, rice, corn, banana, durian, rubber, and sugarcane are just some of the major crops of Sarangani. About 66% of the province’s total land area is forest land. Half of this is highly cultivated for corn. The province has also rich deposits of precious metallic and non-metallic minerals such as gold, copper, iron, silica, limestone, cement lime, coal, marble, gypsum, phosphate rock and white pebbles.

Northeast monsoon and southwest monsoon are the prevailing wind directions of Sarangani. There is no distinct dry and wet season in this province but it is considered a typhoon belt area. April is the hottest month while January is the coldest.

Sarangani is a melting pot of rich Filipino culture that continues to imbibe the values and traditions of its ethnic tribes such as B’laan, Tagakaolo, T’boli, Manobo, Ubo, Kalagan and Moro. These tribal villages are rich in cultural traditions which are evidently seen in their daily lifestyle and craftsmanship. Their artwork has captured both the local market and neighboring countries.

The ethnicity and origin of the province is celebrated every month of November in the MunaTo Festival. Cultural shows and activities are the focal interest. The colorful attires, bright smiles, graceful artworks will immerse and transport visitors to Sarangani’s rich cultural era. Another festive event in the province is the Sarangani Bay Festival celebrated every month of May that advocates the conservation and protection of Sarangani Bay.

Dive and snorkeling fanatics can’t get enough of the marvelous diving grounds of the province where exotic and untouched coral gardens spread out. It will be no surprise if tourists will be captivated of Sarangani’s colorful marine life, powdery white sand beach, pristine clear water and glistening golden sunset.

Sstrategic Data Report Hotel in General Santos City

...A hotel is an establishment that provides lodging paid on a short-term basis. The provision of basic accommodation, in times past, consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities, including en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning or climate control. Additional common features found in hotel rooms are a telephone, an alarm clock, a television, a safe, a mini-bar with snack foods and drinks, and facilities for making tea and coffee. Luxury features include bathrobes and slippers, a pillow menu, twin-sink vanities, and jacuzzi bathtubs. Larger hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, business center, childcare, conference facilities and social function services. Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in some smaller hotels and B&Bs) to allow guests to identify their room. Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement. In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours. In Japan, capsule hotels provide a minimized amount of room space and shared facilities. Ethymology The word hotel is derived from the French hôtel (coming from hôte meaning host), which referred to a French version of a townhouse or any other building seeing frequent visitors, rather than a place offering accommodation. In contemporary French usage, hôtel now has the same meaning as the English...

A Feasibiity Study of Establishing African Oil Palm Farming in General Santos City -Chapter 1

...Chapter I THE PROBLEM This chapter discusses the problem of the study. It contains the background and rationale, statement of the problem and objectives, significance, scope and limitation, research design and methodology of the study. 1.1 Background and Rationale of the Study Due to increase in population size, the world today craves for a higher consumption of biodiesel, vegetable oil, health supplements, cosmetics and other food and non – food products that people cannot live without. One main source of these products is African Oil Palm. According to Escobar et al. (2008) the African Oil Palm is the most productive species among oleaginous plants. It is a traditional native crop for the West and Central African communities, occurring between Angola and Gambia. This plays a major part of the culture of Africans and they use it both in the household and in the market. The quest for renewable energy has intensified since the escalating price of crude petroleum in the recent years. Renewable energy such as biodiesel has the potential to replace petroleum – derived transportation fuel in the future. Biodiesel is a renewable and biodegradable diesel fuel extracted from plant oil. It is a natural hydrocarbon with negligible sulfur content which will substantially help in reducing emissions from diesel – fed engines. According to the study conducted in Malaysia, the African Oil Palm has properties and potential for making biodiesel. Due to this discovery, African Palm Oil...

...Description of the town Sarangani Province, composed of one landlocked and six coastal towns, is found in the southern tip of Mindanao. Sarangani Province's earliest known inhabitants were Maguindanaon, B'laan, T'boli and ethnic tribes in the uplands.  Christian migration from the Visayas and Luzon islands in the early 1900s opened its vast, fertile lands to agriculture.

...This documentary is about the Abaca farmers living in a small community of Sitio Banli, one of the most far-flung areas of Sarangani Province. Where the main source of living is harvesting Abaca once a year. Abaca or the abaca fiber is the strongest in the world. It is strong as no matter how thin it is and how many times it gets wet, it doesn’t easily tear. It is used to make ropes, paper and paper bills. And in all of Asia, the Abaca tress can only be found in the Philippines. Ironically, the families of B’laan Tribe or the people living in Sitio Banli, money seems rare despite the idea that their source of living is the raw material for making money. The small community of Sitio Banli is a 4-hour drive from Sarangani and six hours on foot on a slippery, steep mountain. And because harvesting of Abaca only happens once a year, the family also get to taste different food “once a year”. The rest of the year, the family eats nothing but sweet potato and taro for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It took 3 Abaca trees to have 1 kilo of its fiber to sell for 40 pesos per kilo. And each year a single farmer can harvest about 20 kilos to earn 1000 pesos. Disregarding the heavy loads they are carrying, and six hours of walking, just to sell the collected Abaca fibers and in order to buy food for their families. The food they bought can sustain them for a week or two and the rest of the year, the daily spread on the table are again...

Manobo

...INTRODUCTION According to Opena (1985), Manobo is a generic term which refers to people who are still in the subsistence level economy and are generally in the mountains and who practice the slash and burn agriculture. Further she qualified that the term Manobo is very derogatory for it connotes to be backward, uncivilized, ignorant, boisterous, unwashed, unkept, rough and lawless. Hence, she opined that the use of the term must be used with discreetness, tact and prudence. The term can also mean a slave (magdul) or a person destined to do all the menial jobs in the house and farm. According to Elkins (1977) the Manobo belongs to the original stock of proto-Philippines or proto-Austronesian people who came from South China thousands of years ago. He later coined the term Manobo to designate the stock of aboriginal non-negeritoid people of Mindanao. They mostly inhabit the hinterlands of Bukidnon specifically on the boundaries of Agusan, Bukidnon, Cotabato, Davao and Misamis Oriental (NCIP,2003). The Western Manobos are in the Southwestern part of Bukidnon in Mulita, Kalilangan and Pangantucan. These people speak a quaint language with Marawi influence which cannot be understood by other ethnic groups in Bukidnon. Marriage is traditionally by parental arrangement, which begins when each of the two families chooses a spokesperson, preferably a datu or bai, who is known for eloquence and knowledge of custom law. Marriage is an alliance system in which reciprocity and mutual...

Contrastive Analysis

...INTRODUCTION Every language is different; however, it is likely the grammatical structures that make the languages similar. In contrasting the similarities and differences of two or more languages, the common term in applied linguistics is contrastive analysis. Contrastive analysis investigates the differences between pairs (or small sets) of languages against the background of similarities and with the purpose of providing input to applied disciplines such as foreign language teaching and translation studies. With its largely descriptive focus contrastive linguistics provides an interface between theory and application. It makes use of theoretical findings and models of language description but is driven by the objective of applicability (Gast, n.d). This research is an attempt to reveal the verb phrase structures of the two languages; Kagan Language of Kalagan people in Davao City and Minanubo Language in Agusan. Toyibatun (2011) stated that in English is a verb or a word used to say something about some person, place or thing (Wren & Martin, 1995:3) example: The girl wrote a letter to her cousin. Some verbs consist of one of more than one word. Even so, these verbs are still simple predicate of a sentence. When a verb is made up of more than one word, it is called a verb phrase (John, 1982:15). Kalagan Language belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian group of languages and is part of Davawenyo family. Older Kalagan speakers, for instance, continue to use their native...

...GOLDEN MEMORIES “High school is the best moment of a student’s life.” When I was a kid, my parents, teachers, older cousins, aunts, uncles – adults around me kept telling me that I’d really enjoy high school. They said that I’d laugh at corny jokes, cry, fight a lot of people, develop horrible eye-bags, annoy a lot of teachers and become a nuisance to the people in-charge. All of that happened, and then some…. Now that I’m already a college student, I can even add my own testimony about it: “High School rocks!!!” I remember my first day in my first year. It was hard, more nerve-wrecking than what I’ve experienced before. I grew up a recluse – my family transferred from the cement and asphalt of Makati to the mountains and grasses of Sarangani; transferred to the dusty trails of Doña Soledad and then settled on the dustier Fatima. I had sweaty palms, was slouching so much to lessen my tall height, not meeting anyone’s eyes and stayed really really quiet on a corner. My heart was tha-thump-tha-thumping so fast and I felt almost faint due to panic, timidness and unfamiliarity with everything. Being anti-social had me at a disadvantage when introducing myself to others. Yet, at the next day, despite my serious and odd behavior, I was elected as the president of the class – by people whom I didn’t know. They were all smiling after the election though; I could see them grinning ear to ear and were really enthusiastic in their clapping. It was awkward. But, months passed and...

Background of the Tribe II. Traditions and Customary Practices III. Politics, Government and Laws IV. Education, livelihood and Economic System V. Challenges and Problems VI. Access to National (Philippine ) Government Services Recommendation Reference I. Background of the Tribe “Manobo” or “Manuvu” means “person” or people”, it may also have been originally “Mansuba” from man (person or people) and “Suba” or “river”, hence meaning “river people”.
