The promise of a perfect summer

For all the beach bums out there, the Mahin Beach Festival marks the beginning of summer. Mahin meaning “beach” in Bl’aan, would be held in between White haven and Rosal Beach Resort, Glan, Sarangani province on April 15 to 17.
 On its 6th year, Mahin is packed with awesome activities to look forward to. On April 15, 2016 the festival would open up with a costal clean up in the morning, a reminder for attendees to leave no trace on the beautiful shores of the Sarangani Bay. After the coastal clean up you could take on the challenge of climbing Earth Islands Outdoor Club rock wall.
 Exhausted from the climb? Replenish your body with eats from stalls and restaurants offering local delicacies around the main event area. If you feel that you ate too much you could burn it all off with some Beach Zumba with The Ledendz. Even if the sun is down, the Men of Summer, a muscle body competition would heat up the night followed by Concert sa Baybayon.
 Aside from the sun, sand and surf, Mahin will also feature indigenous games to highlight the town’s rich cultural heritage. Among those games are the Bancarera race, followed by a Sand Sculpture competition along with beach volleyball, beach football, motor trail and Mahin Lakas Pinoy. There would also be a Google Local Guides Meetup on the same day.
 In the evening, the Mahin Bodies Bikini Open contestants take center stage followed by the Concert sa Baybayon at 9pm culminating in a grand Fireworks Display.
 I am looking forward to party all night long, but will make sure there is still enough energy for the next day to catch Lumba Langoy sa Iro, Lumba Kabayo sa Baybayon, Motor trail and the championship games for volleyball and football all of which will start by 8 in the morning of April 17 followed by fun, quirky and creative kites at one in the afternoon during the Palupad Tabanog Competition.
 The Mahin Beach Festival culminates around 3pm on April 17 with the awarding of prices and closing ceremonies.
 Your #perfectsummer at Gumasa, Glan is only an hour and nineteen minutes drive form Gensan. I hope to see you there!
