WELCOME TO THE CITY OF GENERAL SANTOS

Description

General Santos City's history dates back to the turn of the 15th century when Sariph Kabungsuan of Arabia arrived in Cotabato Province in Mindanao to introduce Mohammedanism with the help of his religious teachers. He reigned as the Sultan of Mindanao until the early part of the 20th century when the Americans came.In 1914, the first batch of Christian migrants settled in Glan along Sarangani Bay and peacefully intermingled with the province's ethnic inhabitants, namely the Muslims, Manobos, B'laans, Tagabilis and other native groups. In 1920, the first Ilocanos reached Kiamba on the opposite side of the bay.Almost two decades after, in 1938, Cotabato's vast lands and rich marine resources caught the attention of General Paulino Santos, Sr. who was then helping Pres. Manuel L. Quezon shape a social justice program for Filipino farmers.
