New cable car added attraction at the 5th Mountain Adventure Park!

The 5th Mountain Adventure Park at Balakayo, Brgy Olympog, GenSan City has a new added attraction to offer to their ever fast exciting zipline in this part of Mindanao. This is the second time for me to visit this place in GenSan with the S3X Tour Tres ( Soccsksargen EXperience Tour) organizer Avel Manasala of  GenSantos.com   with the teamed up of Ganda Ever So Much.

The road going up the mountain is an adventure in itself, we have to pass by a lot of cock breeding village before reaching the place. As always we were there very early n the morning and breakfast was served courtesy of the owner Mr. & Mrs. James and Twilight Betonio. Breakfast was a feast and it was really heavy they served vegetable soup,tuna steak, banana blossom salad with coconut milk, fruits and suman.

After our breakfast we headed down to gear ourselves for the adventure we came for which is ziplining. But before our breakfast we got to try their cable car, which is the latest attraction of the park. It was an experience of a lifetime to ride a very bare cable car where you can see the deepest part of the mountain as we cross two mountains, just like a slow motion. A must try ride!

This is the fastest zipline  in the area, and if ever you want adventure and fun this is the place to be when in GenSan!

Ride Prices: Zipline – P250; Xtreme Cable Car Ride – P200

As part of the SoCSarGen Experience Tour: Part Deux which was organized by Avel Manasala of theGenSan News Online Mag, I was one of the lucky ones who got to try their zipline as one of the first patrons. But the first thing that we were made to do in an early morning Yoga hosted by Fifth Mountain Zipline Adventure Park and then a sumptous breakwast was then served.

Local cuisine was served, and the breakfast was really heavy on the tummy. Tuna steak, bunch of vegetable salad like okra, camote tops, ampalaya with singkamas and diced fresh pineapple. One of the main dish is Nilagpang na Manok, a first for me.

‘Twas an experience of a life time, food, fun, and adventure at Fift Mountain Zipline Adventure Park!

SocSarGen Bloggers headed by Avel and Orman Manansala of General Santos City which was held last Saturday, May 29, 2010 at Piyesta KTV and Resto Bar was a resounding success.

I was so hungry when I arrived there after three hours drive from Davao City to General Santos City. We arrived there at around 10 p.m. and was glad to see them happy to see us and be part of this big event.

The day before the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit!

I was very excited to attend the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit that I arrived there in GenSan City a day before the event. I went to the bus terminal and there I met Kevin of Pinoy Teens on the bus. So my travel to GenSan was not so boring at all. The travel from Digos City to GenSan took around two hours since the Guhing bridge in Hagonoy, Davao del Sur is still under construction and we have to take a long route just to get to the next town which normally will just take 15 minutes and took us around 35 minutes and some of the roads are not paved at all.

We arrived in GenSan at around 5:30 in the afternoon and a car from the city courtesy of Avel of Bariles Republic picked us up at the bus terminal and Aethen was there to see that we are brought to our hotel.
More on the article after the jump! Click read more below.


They then invited us for dinner at the Grab a Crab Restaurant which is one of the sponsors of the event.


We did not know where Grab a Crab is located, we were at the hotel lobby of the venue where the summit is going to be held. Me and Kevin waited there for Aethen to give us a text message if it's already okay for us to got there.



To bad that Aethen ran out of load for his cellphone and the text message came late already and they are already eating at the time. So me and Kevin got a tricycle to take us to the place, But the tricycle driver is not familiar with the place and had to ask another driver for the direction of the restaurant.


( Avel, Migs)

The group of Avel are seated in another table and we are so late that they're already finished with the main course and they are starting their dessert. We we're seated in the group where Aethen is seated together with the volunteers for the event.



( Migs, Avel, Aethen, Ria, Gwing, Andrew )

The food served is very delicious, there are at least 7 main dishes that I could remember and mostly sea foods. Crab is served for sure, shrimp, fish and other sea foods to die for. We are the last one to arrive so there are lots of food that are still left and I was amazed that they did not finish eating it all.


The restaurant staff are very accomodating and the service was excellent. I would recommend anyone who visit GenSan City to go and eat at Grab A Crab Restaurant.
