Sarbay Fest returns to the white sand beaches of Gumasa in Glan town from May 25 to 27, after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines – A 500-strong security force has been mobilized to help protect hundreds of thousands of revelers from all over the country and abroad who will take part in a three-day merry-making at a beach in Sarangani later in May.
“We are strictly in coordination with security and law enforcement units, preparing for any unforeseen events, like stampedes or terror attacks,” Ramos said. Organizers of the event anticipate the number of visitors to swell to more than 200,000. This estimate is based on the previous staging of Sarbay fest where the number of visitors increased by tens of thousands every year until the activity was deferred in 2019 due to the pandemic.
Ramos said the event is a venue to appreciate the need to preserve the wealth and abundance of marine resources in Sarangani Bay, considered by many as a hidden paradise.
