TUNA Festival 2013 (General Santos City)


Tuna Festival is one of the many festivals celebrated in the Philippines. Tuna festival happens annually in our city, General Santos. Our city is the Tuna Capital of the Philippines. It produces the freshest tuna in the country and even sells big number of export quality tuna outside the country.

Usually it is a week long celebration held every year for the month of September. There were a lot of activities for this celebration. The city organized the Tuna Run, Biggest tuna competition and even street dance competition. 

Below are some of the photos which I personally took while the festival is happening. 

















I haven't took the photos of the TUNA competition itself though but I will next year.


Thanks Jezyl Canono Pelino for this photo. (my cousin's wife)
Amazing fireworks capture!

I am looking forward to another amazing Tuna Festival next year! Have fun everyone! Please don't forget to visit our city -- General Santos when you drop by the Philippines.
