Experience Malapatan ... Breathe the same air that i experience every waking hour in this tranquil and laid back town ... As they say, nobody will love you if you don't love yourself. Same line applies to loving your own place, ... embrace it, appreciate it, learn to love it, experience Malapatan  ... so that others will also appreciate its beauty and everything that goes along with it.



Malapatan came from two B'laan words which means mala-(pepper) and fatan-(place). Long ago, this place abounds with plenty of pepper - sizzling hot pepper, reason for coining the words to what it is called today. The B'laans were believed to have settled in the place long before the Maguindanaons came, then after, the Settlers arrived. Today, it is known for the peaceful co-existence of the tri-people community, not only from among the municipalities surrounding the Sarangani Bay, but for the whole Region 12, if i may say so. 


Experience Malapatan is a blog of everything you need to know about the place : from its history, people, local government, business environment, places you need to see, must attend events, news, food, etc. Experience Malapatan is an idiot's guide for those looking for adventure and fun in this southern part of the country. Experience Malapatan will be your online dictionary about this municipality located in the outskirts of General Santos City. 


It is about an hour's drive away from General Santos City by public transport, either by van going to Glan, or jeepney. Travel time is only about 30 minutes by private vehicle.


Let me share with you the many reasons  how i have come to learn to love the place I now call my home ... why i love MALAPATAN ... Let me share with you how to enjoy and experience Malapatan ...
