General Santos City, often known as Gensan, transforms into a vivid tapestry of hues, flavors, and traditions every year as it hosts the most sumptuous event in the Philippines: the Tuna Festival. While highlighting the city's thriving economy, this event also honors the tuna business, which gives Gensan its title as the "Tuna Capital of the Philippines."
Gensan's Tuna Festival, which was established in 1998 and marks its 25th anniversary this year, aims to celebrate the abundant seas that are teeming with marine resources like tuna and the ensuing tuna industry, which continues to thrive and has elevated General Santos City to the undisputed tuna capital of the country.
