1st day of Mindanao Food Appreciation Tour (MFAT)/Soccsksargen Summer Safari

Well make this post short coz’ I don’t know where to start and how to start this post during the Mindanao Food Appreciation Tour (MFAT)/Soccsksargen Summer Safari. I’m just thinking to start this post during our road trip from Cagayan de Oro or the time that we arrived in Davao. Hahahahyyyzzz!!!!! Where should I startJ. Maybe I don’t where to start this post because I enjoy the event and the places that we are visiting during Mindanao Food Appreciation Tour (MFAT) /Soccsksargen Summer Safari, yes I enjoy very much this event and the places that we are visiting specially the food that they serve on us.

Okay let me start this, pass 12 noon were CDO Bloggers arrived at Davao and have a lunch with Davao Bloggers at Ranchero. We meet some of them during the Mindanao bloggers Summit 3 and some of them were first time to meet (nice to meet you guys). If you are planning to visit Davao and if you would like to eat a delicious and yummy food I will recommend eating at Ranchero. It is my first time to taste a yummy and delicious baby back ribs where in you feel that the person who cooked this food is happy (assusss kay libre man(Free)).:-)

After our lunch we were on our way to the city of Generals (General Santos City), it takes 3 hours travel going there. We are 15 bloggers who went to Gen San and others will go after. We arrived around 6 in the evening and picked up by Orman from the highway terminal and checked in us at Iced Castle Experience where is we took our few minutes rest, wash up and will prepare for the dinner. But before our dinner we meet the owner of Iced Castle Experience (I.C.E) who has a generous heart to sponsor us and to make this event happen Rey Billena. Iced Castle Experience is not yet open to the public because there are parts of the hotel that are under construction, the hotel has a castle design and it is unique compare to the other hotel that we stayed before. They have clean and beautiful room and specially the bathroom. For more info and reservation you can visit them at

After our few minutes rest we went to our second sponsor for this event at Pacman’s Sports Bar for our aperitif drinks. I’m sure you already know the owner of this building, if you did not know yet let me introduce to you, he is the Philippine Icon (Pambansang Kamao), former 7^th time world champion in boxing career and now he is the Congressman at Saranggani province Manny “PACMAN” Pacquiao . so is this guy familiar to youJ?

After this place bloggers went to Le Jardin Arnevels for our dinner and meet the owner Tita Nitz who is our sponsor. Le Jardin Arnevels is a perfect place for bonding moment to your family, they have 2 pools with different levels and the food of this place is so yummy and delicious specially the sea foods which I like it very much.

Subsequent to our dinner we went to Pyesta Ktv and Resto Bar which own by Donna where in the Grand Eyeball of Bloggers from Cagayan de Oro, Davao and General Santos. We introduce our selves including the blogs that we have and the Screen Name that we are using in the net (specially the screen name in PLURK)J. After the grand eyeball of blogger some of us went to Night Cap at Coffee Club 101 and some went back to hotel. This is our first day at Gen San during the Mindanao Food Appreciation Tour (MFAT)/Soccsksargen Summer Safari.
