I don't have a gallery of pictures to show in this travel but I find it unfair if I don't make a post for the province of Sultan Kudarat. Sultan Kudarat is located on the island of Mindanao after the city of Koronadal. To go there, if one is to commute, buses or vans are the options. Fare would be more or less Php200. Transportations in the vicinity are public jeepneys, tricycles and even motorcycles locally known as habal habal/skylab. Travel hours take more than one hour from General Santos City.
A college friend working as a medical representative invited me and another friend to come with her. This made it possible for her to do her job while exploring the province of Sultan Kudarat. So I took the chance for the love of travel and the bonus of free ride. Our route? Tacurong City, Isulan and Lambayong.

Of course, this is not the "free ride" I was referring to.
From here, you can see the cemented streets of Lambayong as well as the teeny weeny tricycle (sorry for that).
Highway of Lambayong. Although the cities of Sultan Kudarat are not that grand compared to other cities, electricity is not a problem.
Way of living in Sultan Kudarat is mostly agricultural. Behind me, you can see a vast rice field.
Steep and rough traveling are not a problem when going to Sultan Kudarat since roads are either cemented or asphalted. Joann, my friend took a pose on this asphalted road going to Tacurong City.
The luxury of free travel is incomparable. Shahani is enjoying the trip while surfing the net. Photo taken at Isulan.
There are still a lot of landmarks we failed to shoot like the Isulan Provincial Capitol which is very nice, and the newly opened St. Louis in Tacurong City, a homy and hotel-like hospital to name a few.
Although, this part of the Philippines is quite known for peace disturbance due to rebels going to and fro, there are a lot of Philippine Army soldiers at bay in different spots of Sultan Kudarat Province for additional protection. I still believe that vigilance is always the key.
