We started day-2 of SoCCSkSarGen Experience Tour 4.0 (SEx Tour 4.0) with a healthy breakfast at Cresing's Food Products, our host in the town of Maitum in the province of Sarangani. We were served a salad of edible fern (pako) and tomatoes, three variants of organically grown rice (brown, red and black rice), and fried marinated flying fish or locally called bangsi.

For refreshment our host introduced us to their favorite drink, ice-cold guava juice. They also served us rice coffee made of roasted organically grown upland brown rice and sweetened with honey. For dessert, we were treated with a cup of ginataang bayabas, a classic Filipino comfort food made of guava cooked in coconut milk.

The town of Maitum is rich in natural resources including forestland, rivers, vast shoreline and agricultural lands. It is no wonder that the people of Maitum is blessed with bountiful harvest both from the sea and from their farmlands. The abundance in Maitum is reflected in our breakfast
