Gensan’s Tuna Festival 2016 Schedule of Activities

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t is that season of the year in General Santos City when its top prime commodity, the TUNA is  given prominence. For 2016, timed during the 48th Charter Day Anniversary, the Gensan Tuna Festival, now on its 18th iteration, once again promises a festive weekend meant as a thanksgiving celebration of sorts for the city’s booming economy and the stakeholders of the tuna industry.

Early this week, the 18th Tuna Festival Secretariat, headed by the BFAR, released the Official Schedule of Activities to us.

We are sharing them with you.  The theme: Tuna-Toneladang Saya!
