Cape Cod Rental

I am really looking forward for the Summer next year because my husband and I are planning on going somewhere for a summer vacation. He already told me that he will be coming home for two weeks for his R&R. My husband is really eager to take me and our son somewhere for the summer next year because we never did anything or went somewhere this year because he had to do some training in California and I had a minor surgery on my leg.

There are so many places I want to visit but I really do not know where to go or what to do. My husband and I are planning on going to the Bahamas but I still have to re-new my passport and our son's passport. If I can't be able to re-new our passports, we might just go somewhere here in the States. I really would like to be in the beach, I know my son and husband would want to be near the water too. I was just surfing the net when I came across with the web site weneedavacation.com which offers Cape Cod rental.

General Santos City,Philippines

Let me share to all of you some stuff about the place where I was born and the place where I grew up...General Santo City is The Tuna Capital City of the Philippines...I really love and miss my home town...I hope I can come home soon!!!!

The municipalities of Alabel, Malungon and Maasim of Sarangani Province and the municipalities of Polomolok and T'boli of South Cotabato surround the city. Fertile agricultural lands at 17,489 hectares are 32.63% of the city's total land area.

History of General Santos City...

On February 27, 1939, General Paulino Santos led the first and largest batch of settlers organized under the National Land Settlement Administration to the shores of Sarangani Bay. The 62 pioneers, who mostly came from Luzon, industriously tilled Cotabato's fertile expanse of land. After this first influx of pioneers, thousands more from Luzon and Visayas migrated into the area.

In January 1948, by virtue of Republic Act No. 82, Buayan District became a full fledged municipality whose territorial boundaries included the present municipalities of Sarangani and South Cotabato Provinces, namely Alabel, Glan, Malapatan, Malungon and Polomolok. NLSA Hospital Administrator Irineo I. Santiago became its first mayor.

Six years later, in June 1954, the Municipality of Buayan was renamed General Santos as a tribute to its great pioneer. This was made possible by Republic Act No. 1107 authored by Congressman Luminog Mangelen of Cotabato Province.

From 1963 to 1967, during the incumbency of Mayor Lucio A. Velayo, an upsurge in the municipality's economy was experienced as several large agri-based corporations such as Dole Philippines, General Milling Corporation and UDAGRI expanded into the area. Although it was then qualified to become a fourth class city, the residents rejected a move by Congressman Salipada Pendatun to convert General Santos into a city and to rename it Rajah Buayan.

Finally, on July 8, 1968, upon approval of Republic Act No. 5412, the Municipality of General Santos was converted into a city while keeping its name. It was inaugurated on September 5 of that year. Antonio C. Acharon became its first city mayor. In 1988, two decades after its inauguration, it was declared as a highly urbanized city.

The world class Fishport Complex has a 750-meter quay, 300-meter wharf for 2,000 GT reefer carriers, refrigeration facilities with 1,500 cold storage capacity, 60 tons/day ice plant, brine, air blast and contact freezers.
