General Santos City recently inked a Sisterhood Agreement with Pampanga’s Economic Triangle - the Cities of Mabalacat, Angeles, and San Fernando at General Santos City. The agreement opens economic ties and begins the two-way development between the Triangle and General Santos City through trade, tourism, employment generation, and culture and the arts. This agreement will benefit the small and medium enterprises of the city, the Shrimp industry, the Tuna industry, among others.

Leaders of the Pampanga Economic Triangle took time to personally visit General Santos City on the occasion of the Tuna Festival and sampled the famed #TunaExperience.
