Isla Jardin is a promise of relaxation and meditation. The sun was friendly when we went there so we had no problem having our skin sun-burnt. A few minutes after we reached the rock wall, the sky was already overcast.
So after the long walk to the north end of Isla Jardin's beach front, we had the chance to tour the area passing through the rear end, where a lagoon remains calm along with the balmy weather.
Tired but happy. 
The lagoon displayed stunning silence. Since most of the visitors were amazed at the beauty of the beach, they forgot about the lagoon they saw coming from the entrance. But we did not forget as this beauty could not be ignored. We stayed awhile, trees swaying with the silent breeze of the wind, the lagoon was surrounded with coconut trees. A mangrove tree emerges with its seedlings already sprouted. 
The visit to Gumasa, Glan is all worth it. Gumasa, being the tourism capital of Sarangani has become one of the ideal vacation spots here in Southern Mindanao. I would not mind going back for another trip. Your eyes will surely be satisfied with God's creation - the beauty of nature.
What more can I say? Well done Sarangani! And hey! It's 28 now.

With 14 comments received on my previous post, I had it raffled off using the ever reliable Randomizer. org and came up with this.
And the winner is -
