Philippines: South Cotabato Provincial Profile
South Cotabato is located in the southern part of the island of Mindanao. It is bounded by the province of Sultan Kudarat in the north and west, in the east and south by the city of General
Santos and province of Sarangani. It lies at a latitude of about 6°15′ north and about 125° longitude. Its main access to the sea is through the Sarangani Bay where the modern port of
General Santos City is located. With its location, it is easily accessible from neighboring ASEAN countries via SOCSARGEN’s entryway, General Santos City , with its International
Standard Airport that puts key cities in Asia just three to four hours flying time away. There’s a Fish Port Complex that
serves the region’s thriving fishing industry. The Makar Wharf is a major port-of-call in international shipping, and one of the
most important ports in Mindanao . All have paved the way to make the constantly evolving SOCSARGEN the venue for a 2 10 225
synergetic relationship. SOCSARGEN’s gateway, General Santos City , is merely five minutes away from one of South
Cotabato ‘s municipalities, Polomolok. (Source: http://www.southcotabato.gov.ph/general-information/) CITIES MUNICIPALITIES BARANGAYS
