"Sarangani is now the province to look out for in terms of tourism. We have become the ultimate destination for the entire Region XII and Socsargen area in terms of tourism," said Gov. Dominguez who was given a fresh mandate in the recently concluded elections.
"We have everything, we have the beaches, rivers, we have the very beautiful and hospitable people of Sarangani Province which is the very important asset in this industry that we call tourism," Gov. Dominguez said.
